clare a boycott. This ended the at
tempt of newspaper solicitors union

TESTIFTES REGARDING
INCREASE OF RATES

Washington. Nov. 25.-H. C. Bar
tow, traffic director of the Chicago
Association of Commerce, was a wit
ness before the interstate commerce
commission in connection with the in
vestigation of the proposed freight
rate increase on western railroads to-
day. He declared the railroads de-
cided to advance their rates on such
commodities as they chose, while they
will be reduced on others. He said
the roads charged an eighty-five per
cent increase against class rates and
fifteen against commodities. The
class rates directly affect the retailer
and consumer. He showed when the
railroads make a slight increase in
rates. the dealers add about three
times as much to their prices max
ing the railroads not alone to blame.

to overtake the Piute Indian who
killed DR.. L. w. Gilbert at Goldberg

was the first man seen. Gilbert's
presence in isolated Goldburg is caus-

he was the sole heir to a million, five

Union Is F1ourishing.

President Barrett says the union OF
which he is the head is in flourish
ing condition at the present time and
growing very rapidly. He says 1t has
larger membership, covers more
territory and is a stronger organiza-
ton in every way than the farmers
of America have ever before been
able to secure. He is well satisfied
with the present and hopeful for the
future.
Aside from urging the retired farm
ers to stay on the farm and spend their
money and energy there, President
Barrett is also preaching the doctrine
of diversified farming. He is firmly
of the opinion that large farms are
neither good for the community or
for the farmer. He thinks that di-
versificd farming is the only thing
that will be the means Of effectuaIfy
breaking up the large land holdings
of the bonanza wheat farmer of this
country.
According to the head of the union
the large land holders of the south
were forced to break up their farms
by reason of their inability to get Ia
Dor. Now that they were forced to
divide them, they are glad of it. BE
says that the farmers of his section
are finding they can make more mon
ey by farming Is or 20 acres than
they could with even 40 or so.
The only thing We lack down
there is your SOIL" he declared at the
conclusion of the interview. ''If we
just had the rich soil down there that
you have here we would certainly
have the greatest country on EARTH
