Who Owns the Railroad?

Railroad shareholders have been
tabulated to an extent by the inter.
state commerce commission. The
tabulation leaves many questions un.
answered for people of an inquirine
turn of mind, but discloses some in
teresting information.
Taking this larger companies,
which number 100, the commission
found that they had total of 627,.
900 shareholders, and that 1.3 per
cent of this number held a little more
than half the shares. These are the
20 largest holders of stock in each
company, whether the holder is an
individual or corporation. OF the
remaining. $4,000 shareholders, each
has an average of Is shares.
In the individual large companies
the, 20 largest holders count least in
that of Pennsylvania, where they
have about.9 per cent of the stock,
the remainder being in the possession
of 100000 shareholders. In this re-
spect the Santa Fe stands second,
with the 20 largest holders control
ling IA per cent, whereas $4,000
divide tine balance of the stock.
In railroad bonds, life insurance
companies hold par value of ST.

enough more to bring the total for
these two classes of investors to 3d.

organization Of branches at tne
Farm Bureau in IS communities O.
the county. in preparation for the
countrywide mass meeting to be held
in this city Saturday, June IS. is pro
crossing satisfactorily, County Agent
{. II. Bergstrom reports. The local
organization is in accordance with the
plan being used by ;he United S ates
department of agriculture IN promot-
ing the establishment of Bureaus in
every county throughout The nation.
AS an indication of further deyel-
opment of the plan, County Agent
Bergstrom cites a law just passed by
the Minnesota legislature which pro-
vides for the organization Of a farm
bureau in each county OF that pro-
gressive agricultural state.
This law stipulates that the Bureau
must concern the whole farm family
and not the farmer alone; that each
county Bureau must be incorporated
under this law to get state aid: must
have at least 100 members and raise
at least 5000 year for maintenance
expenses.
When these provisions are COM
piled with, the commissioners of each
county are authorized to appropriate
from 900 to $4,000 year for the
employment of county agent, who
must be approved by the bureau and
to carry on his work.
Under the federal plan which is
being followed in the organization of
the Bureau in this county, the consti-
tuition suggested by the United States
department of agriculture proposes
that at least 80 per cent of che mem
bership shall consist of bona fide
farmers or rural residents.
In reference to this point, County

Replying to your kindly inquiry
regarding the working of the Farm

the same to the Grange, will say that
the Farm Bureau is doing a line of
work that was an impossibility in the
Grange. The. Bureau is legal au-
thority in matters of information.

pests, etc. WIN many farmers are
not members ofe Bureau, all in
more or less degree use it and re-
ceiv the benefits derived from it,
"The Grange is to a large extent in
the individual community educational
and advisory, while the'Farm Bureau
has the means, the trained informant
and authoritative bulletins to bring
immediate results. In my own COM
munity the Farm Bureau has saved
the farmers thousands of dollars in
the control of hog cholera, black leg,
pests, ETC.. while we of the Grange
had not the authority or money and
in many. respects the information to
do it,
I'm your second question to me
you ask, Do the two organizations
consider each .other as competitors
for membership. lines Of work, etc?
I emphatically reply, No. The Grange
has its. field OF work and the Bureau
its field and neither conflicts with the
other. On the other hand we have
found that the live Granger is the
best member of the Farm Bureau be-
cause he has found out the value Of
of organization and cooperation in
the successful farm work.

was filled to capacity and many stood
during the service The music was
furnished by selected choir, which
sang sweetly the beautiful old hymns
of the Methodist church.
The funeral procession was the
longest ever seen in Florence, stretch

part of the sixth district. The floral
emblems were the handsomest ever
seen at funeral in Florence, many

SAFE, GENTLE REMEDY
CLEANSES YOUR KIDNEYS

For centuries GOLD MEDAL HARLEM
Oil has been standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and blad-
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood. If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom-
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo-
men, gall stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica and lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
All these indicate some weakness of the
kidneys OF other organs or that the enemy
microbes which are always present in your
system have attacked your weak spots.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not "patent medicine" nor
. "new discovery" For 200 years they
