demonstration, arrived the first or the
week from Jackson county, where he
mas been doing farm demonstration
work for several years. and will i'm
nediately commence to get things in
shape for his work in Texas and
Beaver counties. Mr.. Jackson is a
cry afrable appearing gentleman
and the Herald feels certain that he
will measure up to all the require
ments of a successful man in his call
nG He may not be able to demon
strate for lazy man how he can
make things grow on the farm, but
we believe he will be of considerable
help to those who work hard and
want to know more about the farm.
He is practical farmer and his sug-
gestions all indicate his interest In
and knowledge of the work. When
he comes to see you help him along
what you can.-Guymon Herald.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products Of Plow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.

Lecturer National Farmers Union.
The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
Increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification of territory; the appflca'
ton of the roads to state and inter.
state commissions for an increase in
rates, and the utterances OF President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t Is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare Of the farmers s1uarely and
we will do so in this instance,
The transportation facilities OF the
United States are inadequate to eff,
fectively meet the demands Of COM
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed to accommodate the move
ment of farm products. II in the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
Increase in freight rates is necessary
to bring about an Improvement in our
transportation service, and an eXteR,
sion of our mileage. then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer is
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in.
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines Of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
lumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
lied tonnage they have hammer I'd the
life out Of the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out Of our transportation system
and since, We have had railroad com
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
hearing in which their business is
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to en-
ploy counsel to develop his side Of
the case and, as a result, the products
of the pillow bear an unequal burden
OF the freight expense, A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion. Cotton, the leading
agricultural product of the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate Of
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
products as a whole is out of pro
portion with that of the products of
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase in
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products of
the pillow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
OF freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

MANSFIELD STUNC BY
 LAWYERS HASTINGS
Fat |nRkteper htrelessy Played by Bessie Ryan's Attorney.

Boston, Feb. 1s.--Bessie Ryan will probably know before she places her suede top shoes under her doWny cot tonight how successful she was in her suit for $60,0o0 heart balm against Harry K. Mansfield, proprietor of Ferncroft Inn. Judge Fessenden be- gan his charge to the jury yesterday and concluded it this morning. the jury then retiring to deliberate whether Grandpa Mansfield treated his ''Toodles' cruelty by refusing to marry her.
 Attorney Coakley for the fair plain tiff applied many vitriolic names to Mansfield in his argument and the fat proprietor of Ferncroft winced under the biting lash. In part, he said:
 Self Confessed Swindler."
 This self confessed gambler and sw!ndler of his friends Oooking at Mansf1eld) has testified here. I say don't give her a dollar If you believe his story, but if you say it's lie and that he's attempting to cheat you as he systematically cheated and robbed his friends, his intimate friends, if you say that's fact, then you know what to do.
 Y ou ought not to let this mans word weigh with you on any topic.

BULKELEY OPPOSES
 NEW HAVEN PLANS
Ex-Senator Recommends That Bonds Guaranteed By System Be Gov
 cred By New Mortgages.

Hartford, Feb. 17.-Former United States Senator Morgan G. Bulkeley opposed a portion of the New Haven roads plans for financial reorganiza- tion which include the passage of leg islation by the Connecticut assembly which will give the road authority to issue approximately $S7,O0O,OOO ad- ditional in bonds, at a hearing before the legislative committee on railroads here today. Senator Bulkeley said he apeared in behalf of holders of the -bonds.-of the Providence Securities company, guaranteed by the New Ha- ven road, which he claims are dis criminated against by the plan now proposed.
 The general plan, which would give the road authority to issue bonds up to twice it's capital stock, Senator Bulkeley cordially favored. Indeed he did say after the hearing, that in his opinion the road might with safe ty be given permission to issue bonds up to $35O, 100000 or $4OO,000,000. He suggested, however, the establish ment of a sinking fund to pay off these bonds as they mature.
 The railroad was represented at the hearing by Vice President E. G. Buckland, Benjamin I. Spock, their general counsel, and Lucius F. Rob- inson of Hartford. The bond issue planned will be in the form of a. first mortgage on the main line of the road which is at present unmort- gagged.

on certain lines, concede it. The man (again looking at Mansfield) has sat here laughing. He's got a lot of fat but no bowels of decency. He has done no worrying. Sullivan (his lawyer) has done all the worrying. A man like that doesn't worry," again indicating Mansfield, who sat with his elbows upon his lawyers table and his face in his hands.
 When I asked him if Miss Ryan gambled at Ferncroft he said she gamboled on the green and that was all: there was no other style of gambling. She called him grandpa, this man who said he went to Mul- doon's, where they make old men young.
 An ordinary man when those let ters appeared, would have been broken. But he's cold blooded. You can't feaze him. Even when the man at Ferncroft picked up the 'bouncer' 1t didn't feaze Mansfield. He fixed it up and the man came back playing again.
 "When I asked him if he didn's love her and didn't ever tell her so, he said no. Take the handsomest man who has lived with the homeliest of women for three years, he'd tell her he loved her.
 But was there ever such an abnOr- mal man, who would say he had never said: I love you,' after having been with the same woman for several years,

PASS CIGARS AROUND.

Hartford, Feb. 18.-About 100 leg islators attended a luncheon given by the Connecticut Suffrage association in their honor at Hotel Bond yester- day afternoon, meanwhile listening to addresses by Mrs. Arnold Gesell, of New Haven; Miss Alyse Gregory, of Norwa1k; Mrs. Ernest Thompson Se- ton, of Greenwich, and others. The women did not forget to pass around the cigars. The legislators agreed the 'smokes'' were the best they had ever received from woinen folks.
