LINES OPERATED BY POOLS
House Committee Finds Dissolution OF
Combinations Would Cripple Trade.

Combinations Would Cripple Trade.
ashington.-Foreign and domestic
shipping of the United States is so
combined by agreements, pools and
conference arrangements that an at
tempt to dissolve the combinations
would cripple trade. This is the con-
clusion reached by the house mer-
chant. marine and fisheries committee
In final report of the so-called ship
ping trust investigation, made public
here. The committee, after two years
of exhaustive inquiry, recommends
that both foreign and domestic ship
ping combinations be placed under the
strict control of the interstate COM
merce commission, and that, II neces-
sary. the commission be enlarged to
care for the additional work.
The final recommendations OF the
committee embodied in the four
teenth volume of its report, just COM
piled. sets forth that shipping lines
| in virtually every trade route from
or to United States ports are operat-
ed by agreement or conference to re-
strain competition. The report de-
clares that the advantages accruing to
both shipper and ship lines through
these agreements are so great that
combinations should be allowed to con-
tinue, under the supervision Of the
interstate commerce commission

Lad up.
There are a lot of people in this
town who cannot afford to be sick.
Perhaps none of you feel that you

for as soon as you are sick, your
wages stop and worry and debts be-
gin to pile up. The sensible thing for
you to do, as soon as you feel run
down and worn out, no matter what
the cause, is to take something just
as quick as you can to build up
strength and health. Make your
self more comfortable and provide
against serious sickness.

medicine made that will do as much
towards saving your health and thus
helping you save your money as Rex

and relieves it by toning the nerves,
enriching the blood, and giving new
strength and health to the whole
body. 1t doesn't do this. by means of
alcohol or habit-forming drugs, be-
cause it contains none. Its strength
and health giving power is due to
pure Olive Oil and the Hypophos-

physicians, the one for its food value,
the other for it's tonic value. Here,

From Memphis, Tenn, comes an in
teresting story which is sample of
what has been done in other states
for young prize winners. In the three
states ARKANSAS, Tennessee and Mis-
sissippD, which are annually repre-
scented at the Memphis tri-state fair, it
was decided to send certain boy prize
winners to the fair as a reward for
their excellence.
A trip to fair is more or less
spectacular event as is the Washing
ton trip, but it gives the young farm
ers certain concrete agricultural ex-
perience, which they do not receive
from excursions to the sights of Wash
ington. At the fair in question the
young men were housed on the fair
grounds in tents, two to four in each
tent, all in charge of men employed
by the state or government to look
after their interC ).
The young men had regular pro-
gram which kept them busy most of
the week of their stay. One day an
expert took the young men to view
the improved farm implements on dis
play. The boys were shown the ma
chinery, and it's uses were explained.
Another day seed expert showed the
boys the exhibits of seeds and gave
them practical advice on seed selec-
ton. The boys were taken in the
same manner to view the beef cattle
and other live stock.
