Hearts of the West is story OF
men, in the full meaning of the word OF
desires, of love, of hate and of the strug-

devil stunts and fast action, but it is
story with a real plot, full Of romance
and gripping scenes. Hearts OF the
West" will be the feature attraction at

DRIVE FARMERS AWAY
High Freight Rates Attributed As
Cause In the West.

l<AcoSSAnIOA 1859 AAoPSSSSAI
Washington, August 20.-Abandon
ment of western farms now should
not be compared with abandonments
a few years ago in New England
states, John e. Benton, solicitor for
various state railroad commissions,
testified today before the interstate
commission commerce in the hearing
on rates on grain and hay. New Eng
land farmers had been able barely to
live on the work out land by produc-
ing practically everything they need
ed and little else when they left their
farms for the west, Mr.. Benton said.
If conditions forced western farmers
to bare living basis, he added, the
country will suffer, and the railroads
lose a great volume of traffic. He at
tributed present condition in large
measure to high freight ates.
The comparison of the abandon
ment of New England farms and
those in the west was injected into
the hearing by Commissioner Esch, who
asked whether the growing of the
bulk of the agricultural products in
territories remote from the consum.
ing population was not being done
in this country, at great waste of
transportation" Mr.. Benton said the
vast production of the west, involving
even as it does, long transportation,
had proven to be best from an econ
omic standpoint.
