The fertilizer season has at last
opened to a limited extent. the first
tain load Of fertilizer coming in Sat

At present two day engines and one
night engine are employed in shift
ing freight. but with the setting in
OF the fertilizer season another crew
will be placed on duty, and If neces-
sary In order to handle the freight
with despatch. another day crew will
also be added. Information to this
effect was given out Monday morn
ing by Mr.. f. Boney. agent at the At

Boney also stated that. while the Of
hcials of the road were not expect
ing as much fertilizer to be shipped
In here this year as was last and
therefore not as much of ii would
have to be handled here. action would
be taken by the proper officials to
prevent the congestion which occur
red during the fertilizer season last
year. This would probably not occur,
however. as the amount Of fertilizer
would probably not be as large.
The season is opening much later
this year than II did las: and the gen
eral opinion Is that the fertilizer traf-
hc will not be so large. owing to the
fact that farmers are still very much
behind with their farm work for the
coming year and also as the acreage
will be reduced.

ers of the eye appeared to be under a
peculiar drawing sensation about the
eye, and l was rendered very miser-
able.
This one eye that 1 have left
Is very precious to me, as the other is
hopelessly gone, and it is the only eye
1 have to depend on for the rest of
my life. I, therefore, doubly appre-
ciate the skill of DR.. Vineberg and his
method and prescription glasses. 1
fell that have as good vision in this
eye as ! had in both of them before
the sight Of one was affected.
These glasses are absolutely the
best l ever had. The headaches are
gone, and so are the neuralgia pains
in the eye and head. The tension and
strain have disappeared, and the light
is mellow and delightful"
