FARMERS HAVE FIRST CALL.
Machinery Classed as Preference
Freight by Railroads When Not
Conflict With Federal Needs.

Farm machinery, including every
thing that goes with it, is now treated
as preference freight by the trunk
lines operating in Minnesota as the
result of the combined efforts OF the
Commission and the Markets Cor
mittee of the State Food Commissi"
The former Commission has in its
files assurance from the executive
heads of the Burlington, Chicago
Great Western, Minneapolis and St.
Louis, Great Northern, 500, Milwau-
kee, Omaha, Northern Pacific and
Rock Island railroads that agricul,
tural machinery of all kinds, farm inn
plements, binding Irvine, and any 9TH
err article needed for the harvest Of
the crops Of the state will be moved
without delay. Oprating officials have
been instructed to treat such ship
ments as preferred freight in every
instance not in conflict with the ord
ers of the Federal Council of National
Defense. Furthefnot the railway
Presidents urge fhe RAILROAD Com
mission to make prompt report Of
every complaint Of delay so that
speedy relief may be given.
This result, so beneficial to the
farmers Of the Northwest who are
helping ) Uncle Sam and his Allies
to win the war by providing sus-
tenance for the armies, was reached
after a canvass Of Sc principal
manufacturers of farm machinery in
the United States, including makers
Of ;threshers, harvesting machinery
binding Irvine ,silo material, potato
diggers, hay machinery, and similar
articles. Some complaint of their in
ability to obtain steel and other ma
teriaE while about one third stated
that they had been hampered by fail
ure to obtain cars and by slow de-
livery of shipments.
Immediately the Railroad Commits
sion "got busy" and took up the mat
ter directly with the Presidents or
Chief Executive officers Of the rail-
road companies. With gratifying
promptness orders wexe issued all
along the lines that farm machinery
should have the right Of way.

With but eight days left in which
to work the members of the profit
Sharing Club" are taking long
chances in the close race for
the Ford car and $375 in salaries and
bonuses. Dangerously close, is the
only words that explain the standings
in the campaign. Several members
who earlier in the campaign had an
advantage over the other competitors
have lost what little lead they had by
falling off last week.
It is surprising that the club mem
bers are not working even harder
than they are for the reward for the
six weeks work is to be given IN
the campaign to the members is most
valuable. Where else is it possible
to earn a Ford in six weeks time ?
And the solicitor who gets the $3.50
bonus with the SIS salary that goes
with it will be we'll paid. Even the
solicitor who comes fifth in the final
count will receive $50, which is an
average salary for a girl at ordinary
work and members of the club who
fail to place in the first five will re-
ceive salary of SIS each.
This is the week of the big double
credits offer and double the number
of credits will be given for all sub
scriptions turned in this week. Next
week it will be necessary to do just
twice as much work for the same
credit.
The names of the Judges selected
bys4Ae members of the "Pro6t-Shar-
ing Club" are printed below. The
Herald is fortunate in securing these
men: of sterling qualities and unques-
tionable integrity to make the final
county Of the Profit Sharing Coupons
issued in the campaign. These men
have consented TO act having beer
elected by the club members.
Mr.. L. L. Kells, Cashier First State
Bank.
Mr.. Henry Rice, Asst. Cashier First
National Bank.
Mr.. A. F. Strebel, Cashier Mer'
chants National Bank.
The Judges will have complete
charge Of the ballot box, which viii
be inspected, locked and sealed by
them on August 1, and from that
time on, no one will know anything
whatever. about the standing Of ths
candidates. Each solicitor will deposit
his Or her own credits N the ballot
box and no one, not even the cam
paisn manager will have access TO the
box. a.T-S,a ssss asEGsa
The Herald,ss campaign will close
strictlyi.on its merits and the same
iron clad policy Of no favors, no adj
vantages will prevail until tine las
minute. Whoever earns the car viii
do 50 by hard work and diligen'
effort.
Five years subscriptions are the
kind that count this week and thu
solicitor who has q. few close friends
of the fve-year calibre will get =
large number Of credits for very lit
tie work. A five-year new snbscriI.
ton turned into the Herald this week
is good for 10000 credits; the same
subscription is good for $4,000 credits
next week.

While this same bunch is favoring

in favor of eXempting all cotton brok-

There is another bunch not quite so
drastic as the one mentioned above
who would favor increasing the in

excess profits to an extent that would
place all the burden upon them.

come from the Democrat side, and the

The trustees of Atlanta university
have, thru Edward r. Ware, offered
to place the university buildings and

posal of the United States govern
ment. hoping that they can in some
way be used to prevent or to relieve
the hardshlps attendant upon war

negro people.
The grounds are already under
skilful cultivation, making a valu
able demonstration Of the possibilities
of intensive gardening. The build
ings, high in location and removed
from the dust and noise Of the city,
are well adapted to hospital purposes,
and will be for four months Gune to

For fifty years Atlanta university
has been the unequivocal cha,npion
Of justice and freedom for the

thus to express their loyalty by word
and by deed at this time of stress,
when the nation has undertaken to do
her part in making the principles of
justice and freedom prevail thruout

been suggested by them of any traffic
measures. 1t is believed some Re-
publicans will have some suggestions
along that line.
There are others who would equally
divide the burden of tax on all the
people, particularly those single men
whose income exceeds Sl.500, be-
ginning with 2 per centum tax, and
graduating it up to so per cent on
100000 and practically confiscatory
after that sum.
There are one thousand and five
hundred men in the United States
whose income is 10000 or more.
With this graduated tax on incomes
and similar income on excess profits,

Measures Acted on so I'M

Magnitude of Them.
STIFF FIGHT ON TAX ITEM
Republicans Will Suggest
Tariff; Legislators Agree on
Other Big Matters.
BY OMAR X. BENEDICT.
(World staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May By far the
biggest things that an American con-
gress has ever faced will characterize
the present session.
First came the declaration of war
and it was put thru in an exceedingly
short time. as legislation is usually
passed in congress.
Then came the seven billion dollar
bond issue, the largest ever provided
for in any legislative body in the his
tory of the world, and It went thru
without hardly a moments delay.
Revcrscs All Policy.
Then came the conscriptlon bill,
which positively reversed the time
honored and traditional policy of this
government ever since its foundation,
and was carried thru in one weeks
time, by the largest maJorities in both
house and senate ever known In mat
ters of governmental policy.
Close upon this bill came the gov
ernment food bill. and with 1t the
three billion dollar army appropria
ton bill, and many others of magni
tude that almost stagger the mind, so
new and modern that time alone can
only grasp them.
These bills are but the natural Sc
quence, however, of the main bill
the war declaration.
Most Time on Tax Law.
The bill upon which the more time
will be spent. and upon which there
will be the widest diversity of opinion,
will be the revenue-raising war tax
bill. There are almost as many
opinions on this measure as there are
members of congress. and it may be
expected that a great many will want
to be heard upon 1t. That it will re-
quire ardous work in the subcommit-
tee appointed to submit the tentative
draft is a foreGone conclusion. and
that 1t will be amended almost to

WEAR THOSE SHOES
THAT TORTURED YOU
Cincinnati authority tells how
to dry up a corn so it
lifts out.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on tender, aching corn stops sore
ness at once and soon the corn loosens
so 1t can be lifted out, root and all.
without pain.
A quarter of an ounce Of freezone
costs very little at any drug store
but Is sufficient to take off every
hard or soft corn or callus. This
should be tried. as 1t is inexpensive
and Is said not to inflame or even
irritate the surrounding tissue or skin.
