ASKS Upper CENT
FOR TRANSFER CO.
President of Corporation Tells
Utilities Board Why High
Return Is Fair.

Testifying before the Public Utili-
ties Commission today at hearing to
determine the fair rate of return on
the values OF the properties of the
Union Transfer Company, c. A. Boo
theIl, vice president OF the company,
said he considered 10 per cent and I'D
ward a reasonable rate.
Mr.. Boethell mentioned among the
hazards of the business the danger
of the termination of contracts with
the railroad companies. in which
event, he said, the transfer company
would be left with expensive equip
ment for which it had no use.
Large losses, he said, were suffer
ed by the company last summer be-
cause of the epidemic of infantile
paralysis in various parts of the coun-
try, and the consequent decrease in
travel
Blizzard Caused Loss.
The blizzard of March and 4, 1909,
when President Taft was inaugurated,
Mr.. Boethen said, also had a serious
effect upon the business of the COM
pany.
Money paid in advance for the trans
fer of baggage, he said, was returned.
and, in addition, the company had to
pay for the services of extra men EN-
ployed during the inauguration pc
riod.
The rates in the District, he stated.
range from 50 cents for delivery
within a radius of three and a half
miles from the point of transfer to
81 for delivery to the suburban sec
lions. The District is divided into
zones, in which the rates charged
are So cents, so cents. 15 cents ana
81.
The minimum rates in New York,
he said, are 40 cents; in Chicago, 90
cents; in Baltimore, 80 cents: in
Pittsburgh, 80 cents, and in st. LOUIS.
35 cents.
Not Yet q Success.
In Philadelphia, he said, the COM
pany recently began, as an expert
ment, the delivery of hand pieces OF
baggage for % cents, but because the
losses of such baggage are so much
greater than among trunks ana
larger pieces has not yet determined
that 1t is a success.
FoIlowing Mr.. Boethell, w. A.
Grundaker, local superintendent OF
the transfer company, took the stani
to explain the methods by which the
company determines the various zones
and its schedules of charges.
The company was represented by
Attorney Roger G. Whiteford.
The valuation placed by the COM
mission on Incorporates of the com
pany in the District was $13I ,321 "a.
less depreciation. Sill ,327.25. The
values are as of August l, 1915.

The man who sells the crop Oh his
land year after year. is selling his
land as we'll as his crop. To con-
tinue such practice means certain
failure and bankruptcy. This is
the history Of farming since the
beginning of the world.
II you use your eyes, you cannot
help seeing that the best crops are
raised by those who practice di-
versified farming. There is no bet
ter or more profitable way to get in
to diversified farming than to keep
good milk cows.
You must notice that the man who
milks cows, generally pays his bills
promptly, has some ready cash and
that he has the best credit at the
bank. The man who lives from
hand to mouth, makes much Of
turning crops into cash at the
present high prices. He does not
often have chance to talk, SO let
him talk.
Just figure what the increase in the
price Of milk is doing to pay your
feed bill and you will not worry. Con
slider that other sections are paying
fifty per cent more for feed and re
ceiving no more for milk. Thous
ands Of Dairy farmers are leaving
Eastern sections account of ad
verse conditions. The Dairy bust
ness must not be permitted to de
crease. It must be increased, be
cause it furnishes the most impor
tant ~ human food
The changes now taking place
simply mean that the dairy bust
ness is coming home-to the hom,
Of alfalfa and sunshine.

Detroit, Mich. II was in such run
down condition had no ambition to
do anything, | had a chronic cough
and cold and nothing seemed to give
me any relief, and | was gradually
getting worse. until friend advised
me to try Vinol, which | did. After
the first day or two it seemed to put
new life into me, the tired WORKOUT
feeling began to disappear, regained
my appetite and was able to get a
good nights rest. The cough grad
ually wore away, and am now feel
ing like myself again, so that | can do
all my Homework and go about my
duties as usual. Vinol is certainly
a wonderful medicine" Mrs. w. E.
Waters, Detroit, Mich.
Vinol restores health and strength
in conditions like this, because in
natural manner it increases the appe-
lite, tones UP the digestive organs,
enriches the blood and strengthens
very organ in the body.
We guarantee that Vinol will do
he same for any rundown person In
