A SAFEGUARD TO PROPERTY.
What Mr.. Mofler Of Union Pacific
Saws of Minnesota Decision.

Says OF Minnesota Decision.
Commenting upon the decision of
the United States supreme court in
the Minnesota rate case A. L. Mohler,
vice president and general manager
of the Union Pacific says:
while railroad rate legislation may
be within the province of the in
dividual states the decision of the fed
eral court is simply another assurance
that legislatures cannot make and en-
force arbitrary laws which are
inimical to any great industry with
out review by the higher courts The
railroads are lawabiding and their
rights should be safeguarded the
same as those of individual citizens"
Asked what effect the decision
would have on the Union Pacific, Mr..
Mohler replied that he could not now
say, nor would he make any state
ment as to probable action by his
road until he could consult the legal
department. Several Nebraska cases
are pending in the courts against
railroads, one of which is Identical
with the Minnesota law.

Agenda.
Agenda is in Republic county.
While it is one of the best counties in
stock and agriculture and has been
in the front row Of Kansas corn pro-
ducing counties, for a small town the
people Of Agenda will not take back
seat for any town in the county SO
far as stock and grain shipments are
concerned. The average output for
stock and grain since the LIST of Oc-
tober, 1907, has been $500 a month,
while the cash receipts at the Rock
Island depot from the sale OF tickets
averages $1,000 q month In the same
period.
The Agenda State bank, organized
eighteen months ago. with capital
Of $4,000. 1t now has deposits ag-
gregating $4,000, and loans amount
ing to $4,000. The officers of the
bank are: J. H. Houck, president, M.
T. Madden, vice president, E. e.
Baird, cashier.
The country tributary to Agenda is
full of wealth. In alfalfa, hogs and
cattle, it ranks first class. In grow
ing corn it is good as the best. And
here and there, on every side Of the
town, are the homes of the prosper
Gus farmers surrounded with grove
of timber. a fruit orchard and roomy
barns and granaries, a perfect pic
ture almost of wealth, health and
happiness.
OF the business needs of Agenda,
a drug store, exclusive hardware and
harness establishments are needed.
There are two general stores Of Chas
Costello and Stephen Bradley. The
former owns the lumber interests,
while the later is postmaster. Both
firms do an immense produce trade.
Frank Fulton operators the eleva-
tor, also handles an immense lot of
farm machinery. During lull in
business Mr.. Fulton likes to attend a
political convention. E. C. Preble al
so handles furniture and implements.
There isn't a business avocation
overdone In Agenda SO common in
many towns. There Is room for all,
there is room for many others. There
are two stock buyers, and another
elevator IS q necessity.

Reports for the month of January

approximately 100000 engine miles

Which Shall 1t Be?
Home-baked Beans or Van Camps?

On one side the beans are mushy and
broken, because you have baked in dry
heat.
The other beans are baked in live
steam. They are all baked alike-baked
until they are mealy. Yet they are
nutty because they are whole.
On one side the beans are heavy and
hard to digest, for you lack sufficient
heat. They ferment and form gas.
Van Camps are baked at 245 degrees.
That fierce heat separates the particles
so the digestive juices can get to them.
Then we bake the beans, the tomato

You don't know how good beans can
be until you once try Van Camps.
We pay $2.lO per bushel to get the
choicest Michigan beans. We could buy
beans for 80 cents. But ours are picked
out by hand to give us only the whit
est, the plumpest, the very cream of
the crop.
We could buy tomato sauce ready
made for exactly one-fifth what we spend
to make ours. But it would lack the

get from vine-ripened tomatoes.
We believe that the best beans, baked
with the best sauce, are cheap enough.
And millions of people agree with us.
For beans are Natures choicest food,
when they are rightly cooked They
are like meat in their food value. and
not like it in cost. Try serving such
beans as your people want often, and
see what you save on meat.
