T0NALL Contains a Safe
And Healthy Formula
A Tonic Free from Excessive Alcohol

1t is the practice with some persons
to sneer at proprietary medicine, but
in many cases there is a self-interest
at stake. In spite of this attempt tc
sheer at all proprietary medicines
thousands of persons are using, fol-
example, TONALL, and get the very
results they are looking for, and nc
attempts to discredit or any amount
of ridicuie can alter the opinion of
those who are taking a useful and eff
fective medicine.
( TONALL bottles display on the la

bark contained in it, and the manu-
blend the ingredients in order to
produce the highest efficiency as a
medicine.

Liberty Wheat Harvest

The Government requests Mary

by 10 per cent, which means that
the State is asked to grow $1,000
acres this year. The average yield
per acre in the State is 1875 bushels.
This can be increased materially by:
l. Early blowing and better prep
aration of seed bed.
2. The use of proper and suffici-

3. Carefully cleaning and grad
ing seed.
4. Selecting high yielding varie-
ties.

Cattle for Winter Feeding

The cattle situation in Texas is
serious. Large numbers are being
sent to market because of pasture
being poor. This is a great oppor-
tunity to get some cattle for feeding
this winter to get manure, and also
to have something for your steady
help to do. This way your year help
can be taking care of stock which
will increase the fertility of the land.

Bishop Fogarty of Ireland
Urges Draft Resistance.
Praises Arrested Leader as One
Irishmen Should Follow.
BY WEBB MILLER.

Dublin. May 2e.-A sermon by
Bishop Fogarty. of the diocese of
Killaloe, in which he urged Irish
youths to resist CONSUMPTION to the
utmost, caused widespread comment
in the Dublin press Tuesday.
The bishops sermon was delivered
Sunday during confirmation cere-
monies.
He lauded De Valera. one Of the
leaders of the Sim Feiners, declaring
him a great, upright leader, whose ad-
wise should be followed by the people
of Ireland. He urged Irishmen in
Ireland to remain calm and confident
of the ultimate outcome of the present
trouble.
First to Break Silence.
Commenting on this sermon. the
Express voices the hope that Bishop
Fogarty's attitude does not represent
the attitude of the entire Catholic
hierarchy of Ireland. 1t points out
that the bishop of Killaloe is the first
of the bishops to break silence since
the Sim Fem arrests.
The Express adds that If the ser
mon is representative of the views of
the hierarchy, it will make more diff
ficult the reception of the lord mayor
of Dublin at the White House at
Washington.

Merger of Four Big Express
Companies Made.

der New Plan.

Washington, May a. Savings Of
millions of dollars and better service
to millions of people of the United
States was today predicted OF the
merging under a private corporation
with a capital of 100000 of the
four leading. express companies Of the
Countryside American, Adams, Wells
Fargo and Southern. The announce
ment was made last night by Director
General McAdco of the railroad ad-
agreement. The combination becomes
effective July 1.
The company will be the express
carrying agency of the railroads, op-

may join the combination later.
A pending application for 10 per
cent increase in rates filed before gov

express combination was contemplat-
ed, will be passed upon soon by the
interstate commerce commission.
More than 100000 employees of the
four companies are to be retained I'M

wages will be raised in many cases,
according to Mr.. Taylor. The amount

wage advances ordered for railroads is
examined carefully.
Tho the merger is arranged under
war eMgenc1es, it is planned as per-
manent and accomplishes the Object
which has been discussed in vain for
almost a century of competitive con-
dit1ons- Last-year the four leading
companies barely made expenses ond
the Adams recorded a. deficit. Early
months of this year showed even a
worse record owing to the general de-
moralized conditions of railroad trans
portation. the rising cost of materials
and shortage of labor. Some of the
officials of the company sought to
have the railroad administration take
over the companies along with the
railroads and guarantee the average
pre-War earnings, which would have
been about $s,700,000 a year, but Di-
rector General McAdoo declined to
extent.
VIII Operate Separately.
The new concern. whose name will
be the Federal Express Co., unless ex-
listing small companies with that name
in two states object. will have stock
OF $50, oo0: 900. representing the actual
value of properties pooled and, in ad-
dition, enough stock to provide ample
working cash. The stock will be dis
tributed among the four companies,
according to the comparative value of
the properties they contribute, to be
determined after further valuation
proceedings. Each of the companies
will continue its financial business,
such as dealing in money orders, for

Individually, and with the union COM
pany as their agent. The corporate
identities of the companies will be re-
tanned.
The express company will be per-
mitted to use station agents and other
railroad employees Jointly with the
roads. but their compensation will be
paid entirely by the railroads, which
will be reimbursed by the company.
