PROTESTS HEARDBY
SUPREME TRIBUNAL
Intrastate Adjustments of Wire
Tariff Are Defended.
RAIL CONTROL BIG POINT
Early Decision Is Promised Owing to
the Importance of the Questions
lnVoved-IIIinois Case Is
Referred To.

Washington, May 6. - Arguments
were heard in the Supreme court in
proceedings involving the right of the
federal government to interfere with
intrastate freight and passenger rates
and telegraph and telephone tolls un-
der the joint congressional resOlu-
tons and presidential prOclamatiOns
authorizing federal control of the rail
roads and wire systems of the cOun-
try.
While the cases heard came from
five states-North Dakota, South Da-
kOta, Kansas, Illinois and Massachu-
setts-proceedings attacking the gov
ernment's authority had been insti-
tuted in about twenty-five states, with
the result that in some the govern
ment's contention was upheld while in
others decisions favorable to the
state authorities were rendered.
Promise Early Decision.
Owing to the Importance of the
question, court officials said final de-
termination of the suits might be
made before the Supreme court ad-
JOurns next month
Solicitor General King, in opening
the telephone cases, urged dismissal OF
the proceedings on the ground that
they were suits brought by the states
against the government without its
consent
He noted, however, that the appeal
from Illinois resulted from suit
brought by the postmaster general to
restrain the Illinois authorities from
interfering with his orders.
''DO you think that Mr.. Burleson
had right to bring that suit?" asked
Justice Kenna.
EYES," replied the solicitor general.
'It Is a suit against the state author
tiles to protect the service and his en-
ployees."
"They are not his employees, but
ed Justice Kenna.
Eyes, but it's for the protection of
the employees and to prevent the state
authorities from interfering" the so
Iicitor general said. "I'd rather not
60 into the matter as to his right to
bring the suit at this time, however"

Use Your knowledge.

1t is a self-evident fact that the peo-
pie who know the most do not always
accomplish the most. And that is be-
cause many do not know how to use
their knowledge. 1t is like gold buried
in the ground instead of being invested
and bearing a good interest. Do not
trust for your success to knowing
things, for it depends instead on your
knowing how to use what you know.

Old New York rree.

The oldest tree in New York. or
anywhere near the city. is probably
the famous tulip tree near the south
bank of the Harlem ship canal, a few
hundred yards from the Hudson
river. The fOresters have estimated
its age at something near three CEN
turtles, but that guess may be some
what short of its true age, for the
trunk is far from symmetrical, and
had been subjected to hard usage be-
fore the park department repaired its
burned and rotted interior and put
an iron fence around it to keep van
dals at a distance.

Ancestral Brains.

Some folks live on the glory of their
ancestors. They tell of the great
things they did and the greater things
they think they did Then when they
get the, ear of some one especially
sympathetic and credulOus, there is an
eruption of boast of greatness that
might have been. These poor creatures
do so little in the present.

Cause of Headache

By knowing the cause, disease may
often be avoided. This is particularly
true of headache. The most common
cause of headache is disordered stom
ach or constipation, which may be cor
rected by taking few doses of Cham

ers have obtained permanent relief by
taking these Tablets. They are easy
to take and mild and gentle in effect

BuCkWheat.

Ruckwheat is worth close on to
$500 bushel at this moment, and
last winter buckwheat flour cost us
10 cents pound when we bought it
at the mill.
1t would not be bad idea to SOW
little buckwheat on that ground
which was too wet when it was time
to put in the oats or corn. Perhaps
we ought to plow up a piece of that
back field where the grass is so thin.
This will be a good time to do it and
plenty of time for the buckwheat.
Fifty or hundred bushels of buck
wheat will come in mighty handy
next fall-some for flour, some for
the chickens and some to sell at a
good price too.
1t will pay to put on 200 or 300
pounds of fertilizer when you SOW
the buckwheat. Use fertilizer an
alyzing 2 per cent of ammonia, II
per cent phosphoric acid and 2 per
cent of potash. That fertilizer will
make the buckwheat stand up' and
will produce the best kind of a crop.

wildcat" Promotion
Schemes.
Warning Given By Sun Paper
TO The Public.

So many wildcat securities are being
advertised through the country by un-
scrupulous promoters. whose usual pro-
cednre is to send you lot of beautiful
literature on how to make fortune
over night, that word of warning at
this time seems necessary to prevent
persons of small means from losing their
money.
Every man and every woman who owns
Liberty bond is a stockholder, which
means that the nun b ar of investors in
the United States has increased many
thousand times. 1t is this army of in
vestors that the "wildcat" promoter is
trying to part from its money.
The country j. being flooded with litera-
ture by these promoters telling of for
tunes made overnight. AS the oil lands
OF the Southwest are now supposed to
offer the greatest speculative chances,
these promoters have turned from cop
per and silver and gold bricks to the oils
and hundred fairy concerns have sprung
up for every one that is legitimate.
These promoters will tell you that if
you haven't the cash, they will do you
the favor of taking your Liberty bonds
and give you in exchange shares of their
companies on v'Aich the returns will be
many times greater. But your only re-
turns will be experience and dead letters
from the postoffice.
1t might interest you to know that a
number of these gentlemen have served
terms in Federal prisons as swindlers.
If you get any of this literature, the
safest thing is to throw it in your waste
basket. If you are too tenderhearted to
do that show it to legitimate stock brokers
and you will be given correct line on
the stock.
