 Tt used to be quite an event to watch the big prairie schooners as they were then called, pull into town from the mines and from Maricopa, the nearest railroad point, loaded with groceries hardware and other necessities.

Big hearted men typified the spirit of the Real West when c. A. Mas sic. now resident of Los Angeles. came to Phoenix in November. 1885.

 Cactus was growing up in the town canal very near to the small village and from Third avenue west the desert reigned supreme in all its glory. 1 must say that it was truly the wild and woolly west at that time. but d man never found lot of

DULLED RAIL HEADS
Commerce Commission Is Told
Stabilized Freight Rates
Is Poor Business
WILL ACT AS BOOMERANG
BY the Associated Press

Washington. Sept. 2.--Government
regulation of railroads has so deadenCd
the senses Of railroad officials to bust
ness conditions that they no longer are
able to determine when to reduce freight
rates to gave their business, declared
John +. Benton. counsel for the State
railroad commissions, in oral argument
today before the Interstate Commerce
Commission on the applications TO re-
duce rates on grain and hay.
The Government has stabilized rates
and as q result. he said. traffic Off
cials no longer study conditions with
view to competition. The slow action
of the American roads in meeting the
competition of Canadian roads for the
export traffic on grain was cited as an
example of the 'deadened sense" of
railroad officials.
ANYBODY could sec what was hap
pening." Mr.. Benton continued. refer
ring to the increase of traffic in wheat
grown in this country and transported
10 the coast by Canadian roads. "and
yet they held their rates up until 80
per cent of the Chicago grain was TAX
ing Canadian routes. Present high
rates on grain are. forcing the farmers
of the West to abandon their farms.
which ultimately will destroy the rail-
roads business.
II am driven to the conclusion that
since the Government assumed control
Of rates, the traffic officials of the rail-
roads have so completely devoted their
energies to securing rate increases. for
the purpose of increasing revenue, that
they have forgotten the Importance of
some times reducing rates to increase
revenues.
"Once they get rates up, they are
afraid to put them down, for fear that

SNAG IN WAR FRAUD CASES
Statute Of Limitations May Prevent
Several Prosecutions

Washington. Sept. 2.-(By A. p. y
Criminal prosecution of several war
contract fraud cases by the Govern
ment may be barred by the statute Of
limitations. it was said today at the
Department of Justice. The Federal
criminal statute. officials explained,
runs for three years after the commits
sion of an overt act in the case OF u
conspiracy to defraud the Government
and many of the war contracts were
completed before the armistice on No
vember IL. 1913.
If contract was completed more
than three years ago, but the conspiracy
under it did not develop until a later
date. there would be no bar to prose
cution. Congress has been asked to ex :
tend the limit of the Federal statute to
six years.

These are but q few of the provis- ions of the weights and measures law, all of which have been compiled in booklet form by Raymond Dyas, state inspector of weights and measures, for general distribution.
 According to Inspector Dyas. the whole intent and purpose of the weights and measures act is one of public service to aid the consum- ing public in obtaining accurate weight and measurement. and to pro- tect the honest tradesman against the unfair competition of the unscrupu- lous seller who would resort to fra dulent or short weight or measure ment for commercial gain.
 For tine purpose of acqua;nting both the buyer and the seller with the pro- visions of the law, the booklets in question have been issued and may be obtained free upon application to the department.

NEW YORK. June 7.-I nave just had a most interesting talk with Frank A. Vanderlip at his home at Scarborough-on-the-Hudson. Wander lip ought to know and probably does know as much about American for eign trade, especially its financial as- poets, as any man in the country.
 For ten years. 1909 to 1919, he was president of the National City Bank of New York, the biggest national bank in America. He organized and is now the chairman of the board of directors of the American International Cor poration and is a director and mem Der of the finance committee of the International Mercantile Marine Go.
 It was to get Vanderlip's views or this important subject of foreign trode that I arranged for the interview.
 My first question was: "To what extent does the future prosperity of this country depend on the develop ment of foreign trade?
 ''It may surprise you to have me say that I do not take the extreme position that this country cannot en- joy fair degree of prosperity with developing a great overseas export trade" was the answer.
 'Of course I do not take the other extreme position that we are so self sufficient and self-contained as a na- tion that foreign trade is a factor that need not be considered. Some where between these two extremes Of opinion lies the real truth. We cannot attain the high state of pros perity to which our natural wealth. business genius and population en-

ONCE UPON A TIME
 THERE WERE NO DOCTORS!
The Doctor Was Not Much Needed Until Folks
 Began to Break Natures Laws.
Doctor, Preach Prevention I, Better Than Cure.

Ninety per cent of all disease is preventable, so doctors say. Eat simple food, exercise wisely, sleep sufficiently, and-what is vitally inn portant-make sure of the daily, regular, thorough elimination of body waste, and the chances are nine to one that you will keep well, work efficiently and enjoy life. Bowel elimination of food and tissue waste IS all-lmportant. But in case of ir- regularity, disordered Or imperfect action do not make the common mis- take of taking harsh, violently acting medicines, with the idea of forcing the bowels to act. Nature believes in mild methods. She responds best to persuasion.
 So in selecting a simple remedy to regulate and assure proper bowel action, you should not use harsh or violently acting remedies, no matter how much has been claimed for them. You should choose some we'll known, time tested, trial proven remedy, that has made its reputation by being used for many years, by all sorts of people, all over the world. Take Beecham's Pills for example. Beecham's is household word, has been for many generations. Beech am's Pills is a household remedy, has been for over half century. People not only take Beecham's but recom- mend Beecham's to their friends. Their use is handed down from father to son or from mother to daughter, from one generation to another. Did you ever hear any complaint or criticism of Beechau's? Isn't that a pretty powerful endorse ment of their worth? Druggists are glad tn sell Reecham's
