President Willard Hopeful.

The railroads may be able TO work out
their own salvation and turn losses into
profits through the medium of developed
efficiency and consistent economy, but at
the present time they are passing through
a period Of subsection at the hands Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
that with the present methods I'm use
among many leading systems, fills their
pathway with obstacles which retard
progress. at least. Regarding the refusal
Of the Interstate Commerce Commission
TO grant permission for an increase in
freight rates and the rcopening of Case

Baltimore u Ohio Railroad and chair
man of the Railroad Committee Of Presi-
dents says:

confident that the railroads will be able to
furnish such evidence as Will satisfy the

that IT is OF the opinion from a consid-

but our characters arc not only
known to but are moulded by our
friends. II, then, ws build up

souls and minds strong and con-
genial, We may leave our reputa-

which il like Maetsrlink's blue

ly said of friendship that "we buy
our entrance to this guild by a
long probation" and the useful
ness of real friend 10 we'll illus
trated by the case of young man
who after only one or two meet

only child of a widOw-had fallen

With . discretion quite unusual
in such cases he con6ded in bis

Indian proverb
"Appraise the spring before you drink the
Water,
Observe the mother ere you take the

Aud that. "In tho mother you

how she would wear" The young
man acted on his friends advice,
followed it enthusiastically, and
the story ends happily by his mar.

Such warning symptoms as sense of
suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, back
aches, dread of impending evil, timidity,
sounds in the ears, palpitation of the
heart, sparks before the eyes, irregu-
larities, constipation, variable appetite,
weakness and inquietude, and dizziness,
are promptly needed by intelligent wo-
men who are approaching the period in
life when woman's great change may
be expected.

For the week ending June %, 1918
Des Moines, Iowa.
Excessively high temperature and
bright sunshine prevailed until Friday,
when light to heavy showers occurred
IN nearly all parts of the state. In some
localities the showers were heavy,
while the rainfall was only trace.
Over strip about two counties wide,
from Polk to Fremont county, and
over Mahaska, Washington, johnson,
Linn, Iowa, Scott and Clinton counties,
the amounts ranged from one to more
than three inches. Corn grew rapidly
and the dry, hot weather checked the
tendency to rankness in small grain.
The dry weather cut the strawberry
and cherry crop short, and was begin
ming to affect pastures, oats, potatoes
and garden stuff, but the late rains will
be of great benefit to all growing
crops Owing to cool weather at polli-
mating time apples are dropping badly.
The following is a summary show
the acreage of staple crops as CON-
pared with last year: Oats, SO per
cent; spring wheat, IS per cent; win
