the size Of the crop and the abandoned

| ton for the statement that 1t Is the
practice Of the department of agricul.

! corn on the basis Of planted acreage.
If planted area produces no corn
whatever its yield Is credited as moth
ing. The elimination Of such abandon
ed area would affect the yield per acre

mate Of total production.

sN|TCH|NC CASE
FAV0RS 0TTUMWA
RAILROAD COMMISSION EXTENDS
INDUSTRIAL VICINITY FOR
oTTUMWA SHIPPERS.

The Ottumwa switching case that
was heard In the Commercial associa-
ton rooms here June 3 before the Iowa
railroad commission, has been decided
by that body The commissioners de-
cided the case Tuesday and copy OF
the findings was received this morning
by G. O. Dawson, rate man for the
Commercial association. The opinion
of the commission makes conces-
sion to Ottumwa shippers in that 1t
extends the industrial vicinity to In.
clude the Morey Clay Products Co,
switch district and did not enjoy
tho 8, privileges that concerns
within tc corporate limits are given.
It also estops the Burlington road
which has had lower rate than the
maximum fixed by the commission in
the Des Moines case, from raising
their charge for switching. The Des
Moines case decision of some time ago
Is made to apply here as it fixes
switching charges in a number Of the
larger terminals of the state.
The copy Of the finding received by
Mr.. Dawson follows:
The Commercial association of OF
tumwa, complainant, VS.. G. r. /. & P.
Railway Co., G. M. & st. P. Railway
Co., Wabash Railroad Co., and G. B. &
Q. Railroad Co., defendants.
Decided November 4, 1913-Opin.
ion:
The issues involved in this case are
similar to those raised in the investiga-
ton of the Des Moines switching rates,
Sy, nnf{t1AI tot 20 n
turers' association. Des Moines branch
VS.. Chicago Great Western Railway
Co., ct al.
We find the facts at Ottumwa cor
responding substantially to the same
switching rates for practically all ter
minals Of any size In the state.
There Is some industrial switching
movement today on the Chicago, Bur.
lington & Quincy railroad in Ottumwa
at charges that are less than the
maximum fixed by the commission in
the Des Moines case. No testimony
was shown by the railroads as to the
cost of the service.
We find the Industrial switching
rates established for Des Moines, Clin-
ton and Cedar Rapids to be reasonable
for Ottumwa; and we hereby adopt the
rates we have established in the afore.
said Des Moines case as applicable to
Ottumwa on the following railroads:
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, Chi.
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Wabash.
The term Industrial vicinity, how.
ever, as applied to Ottumwa, is here.
by extended to the plant of the Morey
Clay Products Co.
The carriers will be, expected to re-
wise their tariffs within ten days from
this date in accordance with these find
ings. Upon failure to do SO an order
will issue.
Existing rates lower than those here
in described shall remain in effect un.
til changed by the commission.

A Valuable Suggestion
IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE

1t is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a
remarkable degree and do tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
filtering the blood.
During the winter months especially,
when we live an indoor life, the kidneys
should receive some assistance when
needed, as we take less exercise, drink
less water and often eat NOR rich, havy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys to do
more work than nature intended. Evil
denee of kidney trouble, such as lame
back, inability to hold urine, smarting
or burning, brick-dust or sediment, sal
low complexion, rheumatism, may be
weak or irregular heart action, warns
BILE
mediately to avoid more serious trou-.
you that your kidneys require help i'm
An herbal medicine containing no min
erals or opiates has the most healing
influence. An ideal herbal compound
that has lad most remarkable success
as kidney and bladder remedy is DR..
kimer's Swamp Root.

Swamp-Root by mail. absolutely free.

WILSON OPPOSES RECEPTION.
He Believes 1t Would Be Hardly Pos
sible With So Many People in City.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. 2S.-President-
elect Wilson heard yesterday of the
suggestion to hold a reception in the
White House instead OF at the capitol
on the night of his Inauguration, but he
does not think the plan practicable. II
have had no formal intimation of it,
he said, "but friends tell me it would
be hardly possible to hold reception
at the White House that night as there
probably will be about 100000 people
in the city of Washington at the time,
and, of course, | don't think recep-
ton on that evening should be by in
vitation. In fact, unless ii could be
arranged on a democratic basis and no
one excluded, which seems physically
impossible, would not favor it,
The governor got back to the State
House yesterday morning after spend
ing the weekend with friends in Ho-
boken, N. j. He said the conference
there Sunday of social workers came
as surprise to him. in that he did
not know 1t had been arranged until
Sunday noon. He understood he said
yesterday, that some of those present
had been actively interested in drafting
the social welfare planks of the nation
al Progressive party's platform. at all
interested me very much and | was glad
to have the opportunity to hear the
views expressed" he remarked. A dele
CATION from the Farmers Union of
America presented to the governor yes
terday the name of S. G.. Barrett of
Georgia for the portfolio of secretary
of agriculture. Mr.. Barrett is the presi-
dent of the farmers union, which has
in twenty -one states.
