vation in Wyoming. To make this land productive q corporation with S2,0OO- 900 capital was organized last spring when Thomas D. Campbell, North Dakota farmer conceived the idea Of cultivating the thousands of acres of the Indian lands in Montana and Wy oming. He lacked capital but obtained the approval and assistance of the Secretary of the Interior, Franklin K. Lane, and J. P. Morgan and other leading New York bankers. The cor poration was then formed with several of these bankers as members of the board of directors and Mir. Campbell as president.
 On this huge farm not horse will be used. Instead, large tractors cap able of turning over large quantities of prairie sod were purchased. In all 52 of these machines are now the pro perty of the corporation and the ploW- ing record for last summer was mor- than one acre a minute and broken. It is proposed to organize the farm into 5000 acre units, each with its own group of permanent buildings, modernly equipped and in charge of a competent farm manager Each farm will, be separately managed. Contracts for the leasing of the land on long term agreements have been executed with the government through Secrc- tary Lane.
 Many acres of similar land exist in practically all of the Pacific Coast states as we'll as in Colorado ana steps are being taken to open that land to returning soldiers. No steps have thus far been taken in Montana to invite soldiers to settle on the un- cultivated land.

WOMEN
Everywhere
Praise Lydia E. Pinkham'a
Vegetable Compound as the
Greatest Remedy for
Woman's Ills.

New Haven, Conn.," For two years
I suffered with female weakness,
pains in my back and painful periods,
and ! was so weak and tired that was
not able to do my work. A friend told
me to use Lydia E. Pinkham' s Vegetable
Compound and it gave me great relief.
My pains left me and am now able to
do my work and feel fine. You can pub
lish my testimonial and your Vegetable
Compound does others as much good as
it has me I will be very much pleased.
Mrs. CHARLES E. MORGAN, ~ Sea
Street, New Haven, Conn.
The reason Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is so successful is
because it contains the curative,
strengthening properties of good old
fashioned roots and herbs, which act
directly on the female organism.
There are women everywhere who
long for children in their homes yet are
denied this happiness on account of
some functional disorder which in most
cases would readily yield to Lydia e
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Such women should not give up hope
until they have given this wonderful
medicine a trial, and for special advice

"Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year $50 900 pounds
ofneat required to supply home and export needs
and only 10 per cent of this is exported
These facts must be kept in mind when consid-
ering the u s. Bureau of Markets report that on
June l. 1919, there 1348OO0OOO pounds of
placed on the market would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not arthcaly withheld from trade
channels to maintain advance prices
Meats in storage consist Of =
65 per cent approximate hams bacon etc. in
process of curing 1t takes 80 90 DAYS in
pickle or salt to complete the process.
10 per cent is frozen pork that is to be cured
later in the year
per cent is lard. This is only four-ifths of
pound per capita, and much of it will have
to go to supply European needs.
10 per cent is frozen beef and lamb, part of
which is owned by the Government and
intended chiefly for overseas shipment If
this were all diverted to domestic trade chan
nes, it would be only III lbs per capita-a
days supply
From this it will be that meats in
storage represent merely unfinished goods in pro-
cess of curing and the working supply necessary
assure the consumer steady flow of finished product

New Board to Fix
Railroad Rates, Johnson
Tells House Committee

Washington, Aug. 26.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission,
functioning as a rate-making body,
with men of action" rendering es-
sential service in Federal regula-
tions, represented the ideal combi-
nation in railway development to
new supplies of material for food,
build up the country and uncover
clothing and other factors in the
high cost of living, Alba B. johnson,
of Philadelphia, told the House Com
mittee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce at its hearing.
Mr.. Johnson, who recently retired
from the presidency of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, spoke as presi-
dent of the Railway Business Asso-
cation (railway equipment manu-
facturers).
While praising the Interstate Com
merce Commission for it's compe-
tence and fairness in adjudicating
rate Determinations and urging it's
preservation as a judicial body, Mr..
Johnson cited its current reports and
testimony in proof of it's unfitness to
exercise the business function of es-
timating future needs and providing
resources to meet them.
On the other hand, he contended,
to put men of action" in the Com
mission would turn it into a sham
bles."

BIZ Associated Press.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 26.-Rail
transportation throughout Southern
California as far as Fresno on the
north and as far east as Yuma,

which began Thursday night when
switchmen and brakemen quit their

to include other trainmen, yardmen
and shopmen, spread last night
northward to Bakersfield, Cal, end
eastward to Yuma.
At the former place 100 switch
men of the Southern Pacific and
Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe
walked out, tying up train service
both to the north and south. Al

switchmen quit and tratnmen re-
fused to take out Two trains for the
east which had been made up by
