URGES INCREASES
IN MANUFACTURES
Traffic Manager Gregson of AS
ISOLATED JobberS Explains
Conditions to Rotary Club
DECISIONS AFFECT SITUATION
Territory Certain to Be Greatly
Widened, He Says, When
Canal Is Opened
DECISIONS AFFECT SITUATION

That the city of Los Angeles must
either manufacture great number of
the commodities which 1t now secures
from the east and distributes to cities
in the interior, or else cease to be the
distributing point for these commodities
to the cities it now serves, thus re-
ceiving a set back to its progress and
growth, was the sentiment expressed
yesterday by r. p. Gregson before the
Rotary club at its weekly luncheon at
the Angelus hotel.
DANGER FROM DECISIONS
Mr.. Gregson pointed out that great
increase in manufacturing in Los An
geles must come at once TO offset pend
ing decisions of the interstate COM
merce commission. Hitherto, according
to Mr.. Gregson's statement, the interior
towns have been compelled to secure
their jobbing through the nearest sea-
port towns, because these towns could
get goods from the manufacturing
centers cheaper than points away from
the coast. This condition was brought
about because of the fact that seaport
towns, having water rates, were in a
position to compel railroads to give low
order to secure any business. These
rates to ports on the coast are COM
monty called terminal rates.
The towns of the interior, however,
have secured from the interstate com
merce commission a decision which
compels the railroads to give them
rates which will offset the advantages
terminal rates give seaport towns and
cities In places where the goods
shipped to the interior by the Jobbers
are manufactured at home, this decis-
I,o hut N
Los Angeles, the jobbing center for a
large circle of cities in the surrounding
inland territory, where the goods
shipped away first have to be shipped
in from manufacturing eenters, the
commissions ruling will virtually wipe
out in a single stroke the jobbing busi-
ness which it has taken years to build
up. .,,.,.-,,,.
'Until the opening of the Panama
canal this decision will work great
hardship to the Jobbers of Los Ange-
les" said Mr.. Gregson. what Los
Angeles must do to offset the effect
of the decision is this: 1t must manu-
facture as many Of the commodities
that it now ships to its jobbing trade
as possible. What we cannot originate
here must be purchased along the At
lantic seaboard and shipped here by
water, via Panama When the canal
is opened we will be able to import
goods and ship them to our present
trade in the interior at a cost which
will allow us to compete with eastern
jobbers, who take advantage of the
commissions decision. In fact, think,
with. the canal finished our territory
In the interior can be widened little,
and hope some day to see Salt Lake
City and even Colorado importing
goods through this port.

Tennessee has recently been di-

local lodges in the work of soliciting
new members; organize new associ-
ations, and help form said associa-
tons into lodges; become thorough
ly conversant with the General Laws
that he may be a source of informa-
ton to the various lodges; labor in
every way possible to keep down
trouble between lodges or brethren
within his jurisdiction.
It is our hope that through the in
fiuence of these men, selected from
the ranks, to SO bestir the fraternity
throughout the state that there will
be a general movement along all lines
for increased membership, a more
intelligent study of the law and finally

ton and consequent changes SO COM

about laws governing us, or who are
inclined to take advantage of the ig-
norance of others to push his W

faithful performance of all these
duties and we may reasonably expect
to have the membership push the

Gumption on the Farm

Be thankful every day; don't pile
your gratitude all on to one day
The man who is thankful only
when the Governor says he must,
never is very thankful any day.
With the present prices of beef
which all authorities agree cannot
be lowered, the production of fat
cattle on farms where the work
has long been forgotten will be
found profitable.
Are all the tools, from screw
driver to thrashing machine snug
ly housed for the winter? They
should be, but If not it is not too
late to bring them in yet. Better
do it now.
One of the best tools a farmer
can have is a good riveter for
mending leather straps of all kind
One OF these will save a good
many trips to town and maybe
more than one runaway.
Look after the pits where pota-
toes and the like are stored, and
make sure that there is enough
earth or litter on them to pro-
tect the cont ents from the coolest
weather. Neglect may cause SER
ious loss.
You've been working around
that one solitary big rock in a
field for years. Now, split it up
blast it or get rid Of ID in some
way. A days work, or perhaps
less, makes the field perfectly

A tank heater for heating drink

Politeness and hospitality are all

The Only Way
Many Marshall Citizen have

Just what to do when the kid
neys are affected, is question that
concerns both old and young. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood
lead to lifelong suffering. People
of advanced years, with less vital
ity, suffer doubly. In youth or
age, languor, backache, urinary ir-
regularity, dizziness and nervous
ness make life burden.
There is one remedy that acts
directly on the kidneys and cures
these troubles. Doan's Kidney
Pills owe their worldwide fame to
the fact that they cure sick Kid
neys and cure them permanently.
Follow the example of this Mar
shall citizen and you will be con-
vinced that this is so. (
