HARTMAN BUILDS GREAT PowER

nacIe of Earning Capacity and
lakes Finnncicrs Take
Notice.

The Union Pacific common stock earned
for its holders 1923 per cent during the last
fiscal year which, in face of the financial
troubles, shows what a great money max
ing machine E. II. Hartman had made
out of the Union Pacific in the short space
of ten years. The report shows that the
foresight OF the management when the 10
per cent dividends on common stock was
declared was most keen as the officers
evidently know what the Overland could do.
In speaking ~ the wonderful strides of
the Union Pacific and especially after the
notice of the 10 per cent dividend, the Wall
Street Journal says:
Since then 1t has been subjected to vigor-
Gus government investigation and attack.
Its executive head has faced almost con-
tinuous. criticisms. But he never answered
back-simply sawed wood" Today the
majority OF public opinion believes that
that long and vigorous criticism was mis-
representation. During the late year a
universal panic and business depression,
which disabled banks, corporations, divi-
dends and prosperity, have swept against
the Union Pacific. No greater tribute to
the wisdom OF its management and the
strength of the property could be given
than that from all of these things Il
energies today with the strongest exhibit
that an American railway has ever pro-
duced.

attend to his wants and try to allie
viate the sufferings of their Oldest
boy. He was nervous, his stomach
would bloat and cramp he was sub
ject to dizzy Spells, his hands and
feet were always cold. He grew
worse and more absent minded. in
fact, his mind came dangerously near
leaving him entirely. At the critical
moment Quaker Herb Extract was
used. Results were startling, won
derful and amazing. because the boy,
after taking Quaker Herb Extract
for several days expelled a monster
tapeworm. complete and alive. Now
the youn man is well. The loving
mother showed her appreciation, by
calling at the drug store where the
Quaker Health Teacher is located
during his stay in FIT. Wayne and ex-
pressed her heartfelt thanks.

RAILROADS BUY TIES
FROM HAWAII AND JAPAN
oHIA WOOD PROVES SUBSTITUTE
FOR OAK
Scarcity of Timber in the United
States Prompts Companies to
Send Agents to Old
World

A striking instance of the scarcity. Of
timber suitable for railroad ties in the
United States is seen in the recent pur-
chase by the Atchison, Topeka & Sants
Fe Railay company of 100000 ties OF
ohia wood from a lumber company operat-
ing in the Hawaiian Islands.
1t has been difficult for some time for
the railroads of this country to obtain
wooden ties satisfactory both in quantity
and quality, and many of them have
been looking about for an opportunity TO
purchase tie timber in other countries.
During a recent trip by a representative
of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa he Rail-
way company arrangements were made
for the purchase of ties not only in the
Hawaiian Islands, but also in Japan. 1t
is said ties from Japan will be made from
a certain species of oak which compares
in lasting q Titles very favorably with
the white oak of this country considered
the most satisfactory wood for tie pur-
poses.
About year ago, before the representa-
tive of the railroad had started on his
trip, the United States forest service
made few tests on the ohia wood. The
results indicate that in point Of strength
ohia wood will rank with the oaks. 1t
was thought from these tests the wood
was worthy of further investigation, and
the large order placed by the railroad in
dicates their agent is confident that Ha-
waiian wood will prove to be a satisfac-
tory material for railroad ties under the
conditions existing in this country.
