So far as8we know, ours is the only fertilizer factory where the farmers are allowed to enter and see for themselves what goes into the fertilizers. Think that oyer. What does 1t mean?
 ltlmeans that our goods are pure. 1t lmeans that we know they are pure. It means that we are not afraid to show them to the people,
 We know that if we give the farmers good, strong, pure fertil- izer---one that will produce results and make good crops, the farmers will stand by US and give US their trade. And that is what we are doing. There is never a day dur ing the fertilizer season, that we do not have visitors to our factory. They are allowed to go and come as they please, ask questions, and examine anything we have. They are welcome, and we make them feel at home. We learn from them and they learn from us
 We want you to go through our fertilizer factory, and see what we are doing. Tell us your troub- les, and we will try to help you with them. Talk to one of our men, and ask him all the questions you want to. He will tell you what you want to know, and you will find that he can help you out on some of the things that have been giving you trouble.
 This won't cost you one cent. You won't be obliged to buy our fertilizers. What we want is to get together with you and talk over this question of fertilizer If we don't do any business, all right, no harm done. If you can't come, write us letter It won't cost you anything but two cent stamp and it may do you good.
 Our fertilizers are made for YOUR land, YOUR crops, YOUR pocketbook What reason is there for buying some other kind when you don't know what you are getting when you can get pure honest, strong HOPE FER FILTERS, and can see for yourself what goes into them.
 If your dealer doesn't handle our goods, let us hear from you. We will see that you get them.
 Yours for better crops.

IS 0VERRULED
Commerce Court Suspends
Order in the New York
Sugar Lighterage Case.

The Commerce Court today permanently
suspended and enjoined the order Of the
interstate commerce commission in the
New York sugar lighterage case.
The order required the railroads con-
cerned to cease the payment Of allow
ances to Arbuckle Brothers for the light
erage Of sugar from Brooklyn to the New
Jersey term'ni of the railroads, when
such allowances were not paid to the
Federal Sugar Refining Company.
The court held the interstate commerce
commission had exceeded It's authority.
Pending Several Years.
The case has been pending before the
commission and the courts several
years. The interstate commerce COM
mission, in its final order, held that
the Federal Sugar Refining Company
was being Disseminated against, be-
cause of the lighterage allowances of
from to Az cents per hundred pounds
given the Arbuckle company. and
ordered that the railroads either cease
sions to the Federal company.
A temporary injunction by the Com
merce Court resulted in an appeal direct
to the United States Supreme Court. That
body upheld the Commerce Court and re-
manded the case for final hearing. The
decision of the Commerce Court today
holds that the railroads have no part in
the actual transportation Of the Federal
company's sugar until it reaches the New
Jersey terminal, while the transportation
Of the Arbuckle sugar actually begins
fro mthe Jay street terminal in Brooklyn.
1t is held by the court that the COM
mission exceeded it's powers in the Is
suance of its order, and the temporary
Injunction therefore is made permanent.

ton Gives LeeWay to
municipalities.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. November 1o.-The
municipal home rule amendment provided

feet today.
Municipalities may now determine their
form of government by any one or three
ways. They may upon vote of the people.
eact fifteen citizens to frame a charter
which must be submitted to the people
for approval. The form Of government
they may have can either be the COM

so order. may frame its own charter and
choose its own form Of government with
out having to consult the legislature,
and is given authority to exercise alb

RIVER WATER POLLUTED.
State and Government Investigators
Reach This Conclusion.

Representatives of the Department of
Agriculture and of the state boards of
health of Maryland and Virginia met at
the Department of Agriculture yesterday
afternoon to discuss their recent investi-
cations of the waters Of the Potomac
with respect to their sewage pollution
affecting the oyster industry. In their
findings they were fairly well agreed.
The water was generally conceded to be
polluted with sewage.
The outcome of the discussion probably
will be the erection of a sewage disposal
plant in Washington, and it is possible
that the Governor of Virginia may COM
pei Alexandria to take the same action.
