Express Companies Fear Net Loss
of S33, 900, 900.

Washington, d. ca net loss O
$33, 600, 900 year in the revenues Q.
the express companies and the rail
roads would result from putting int
effect the express rates proposed by
the Interstate Commerce commission
according to figures submitted by thu
companies to the commission.
This loss, it was estimated, woule
be divided between the express anC
the railroad companies. 1t was as
serted by counsel for the express com
panies that the commissions rates
practically wolld put their clients out
of business.
Walter d. Hines, representing the
Adams, American, Southern, United
States and Wells-Fargo companies,
said the proposed rates would cost the
express companies 5.875 cents on ev-
cry dollar received by them, "thus
destroying all profit and producing an
enormous deficit"
The deficit. he said, for the COM
panies he represented would total $6,-
743,6 annually, measured by the
present volume of business. Accord
ing to Mr.. Hines figures the "pro-
posed rates mean reduction of not
less that IL cents in the total revenue
per package ON the express business
in the United States"
Several representatives of shippers
were heard.

FARMS YIELD
RECORD CROPS
Preliminary Estimates Show
Biggest Yield Ever.
Spring Wheat Far Ahead of Best
Previous Year, Winter Wheat
Is Somewhat Behind.

Washington, D. C.-Never before
have the great cereal crops Of the
United States been so bountiful as
those of this year. Records Of pro-
duction for almost every cereal have
been surpassed, in some instances by
millions of bushels.
The October crop report of the de-
partment Of agriculture shows that
spring wheat, oats, barley, rye and
hay all have exceeded the best record
productions, while the crops of corn
and potatoes from present indications
also will be the greatest ever when
harvested.
Speaking of this great showing
made by the country's farmers, James
Wilson, secretary Of agriculture, said /:
"The crops this year are the heav-
lest on record. The season has been
favorable, but some credit is due to
the wide efforts made in late years by
the Federal government and the states
to help farmers throughout the coun-
try to get better returns from the
average acre."
The world has been searched for
better plants by the department of ag-
riculture and its scientists have been
creating plants by hybridization.
More than 5000. 900, 900, bushels of
corn, almost 1900, 900, 900 bushels of
oats and $50, 900, 900 bushels of spring
wheat have been grown. The states in
the Northwest are harvesting the
greatest crops ever grown there.
"It looks as if we won't have to im-
port any potatoes this year." said
Secretary Wilson, in commenting on
the record potato crop.
The departments official estimates
of production of the country's princi-
pal corps are given with figures show
ing the previous record crops and the
year produced. The following esti-
mates are made:

Child Saved From Engine.

Sioux City, la. - When Milo G.
Dodge, a fireman on the Milwaukee
railroad. looked out of the cab window
between JefferAon and McCook Thurs
day, he saw a child playing on the
track. Realizing that the engineer
could rot stop the train in time, Dodge
jumped out on the running board and
made his way to the pilot. Just as
the engine was rushing upon the
child, Dodge reached out his foot and
kicked the little one to safety. The
child was Gerald Allard, two years old.
He landed in the ditch slightly bruised.
