IDEA EVOLVED
AIMS To kEEP.
REVENUES UP
Will Be Submitted to
Rail Executives at
Meeting in Chicago.
Comes From Officials
After Conference With
Governments Agents.

Chicago, Oct. ia proposal tt
meet all future reductions in the wages
Of railway employees with correspond
ling decreases in railroad freight rates
i is to be presented to the Association o1
Railway Executives at its meeting here
lit was announced Thursday night
The proposition is to be submitted
tby a special committee Of railroad Of
ficials which hast week conferred with
government officials at Washington, il
was stated. ~
This announcement wss made by Z
railroad official here fof the confer.
lence. who said that the committee had
prepared report embodying the plan.
The proposition to pass all future
decreases in operating costs along to
the public, it was stated, was in line
with the policy of the railroads to make
freight rate reductions and at the same
time allow the railroads to operate at
a profit. Freight rate reductions are
impossible as long as operating costs
remain unchanged, this official assert
ed.
Stave Off Bankruptcy
The railroads emerged from the war
facing big deficit, he asserted The
g per cent profit for the transportation
act failed to bring any material relief
because of the decrease in business,
and had the railroad labor board not
authorized reduction in wages effect
i've July l, many railroads would have
been bankrupt before the end of the
year. it was asserted.
Railroad executives. according to
the official, have seen the desirability
Of a reduction in freight rates because
of the decrease in the prices of other
commodities.
They have. however. been unable to
effect such reductions. he said, be-
cause of the fixed operating costs.
This. he asserted, applied to the arbi-
tIary fixing of wages and to the limi-
tation placed on the number of hours
employees can work and the amount
of work that can be done.
Depend on More Business
To effect reduction of freight
rates and at the same time maintain
present revenues for the railroads, the
plan announced Thursday night was
formulated. Increased business,
brought about by lower freight rates.
is expected to provide the increased
revenue necessary for the railroads to
operate at fair profit, it was
stated.
The plan, if approved by the exeeu-
tives. will be presented in an official
by executive officials,
it is expected.
Those in close touch with the situ-
alton pointed out that even if the
became effective at once,
some time would eiapse before freight
rates could be reduced To decrease
rates, the railroads would have to 20
through almost as mrS formality as
to raise them, it was stated.
A conference with employees would
first be necessary and if the employees
refused to accept the proposed reduc-
lions, the case would then be placed
before the railroad labor board, un-
der present provisions. If the rail-
road labor board authorized the re-
luested reduction in wages. the inter-
state commerce commission would
then be required to pass on proposal
10 reduce freight rates.

John Randolph Had His Own Ideas Of
What to Do When Presented at

When John Randolph. erratic Amer

Russia ne was about to be presented
IN the ear. Someone undertook TO
teach him the presentation etiquette
Of th, Russian court. As minister he
was To enter the room and bow; at
tho center of the room he was TO
nouse and bow second time, after
which the ear would meet him and
engage him in conversation. But Ran
dolph was indignant at the thought
TINT anyone could presume TO teach
him anything. and decl: raS that he
knew all about II siThout being
shown.
The day of presentation arrived and
Randolph entered fhe door of the au-
dience chamber and bowed very low /;
he advanced 70 the center of the room
and bowed again very deeply. Then
he approached nearer to the car. took
of one gauntlet and threw 1t to the
right Of the car, removed his other
gauntlet and cast 1t to the left Of the
car. Next he pitched off his hat in
front. threw off his mantle, unbuckled
his sword and discarded It upon the
floor and then fell upon his knees at

WAYS good plan to rotate crops, even

Protect Plants From Cutworms.
The best remedy, or rather proven

naper around the stems of the plants
ms they are being set in the garden.
Thin cardboard makes ideal plant pro-
tectors. BY cutting the cardboard in
10 strips about inches wide, sections
can be cut off and rolled around a
lead pencil to form tube. The pro-
tectors should extend an inch below
the surface and at least 2 inches
above. After the stems Of the cab
bage plants have, become toughened
and begin to grow rapidly the pro-

Cabbage worms, the eggs for which
are laid by the light-yellow butterflies
that are often seen flying about the
cabbage plants. do great amount of
damage. busting the foliage and the
heads with air-slaked lime, to which
a little paris green has been added,
or spraying them with arsenate of
lead. one ounce to gallon of water
are both effective. There is no danger
rs the heads grow from the inside and
the outer leaves, to which the poison
is apnlied, are all removed.

Important to all Women
Readers Of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney OF bladder trouble and never
suspect 1t.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney OF bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dltion, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrits-
bic and may be respondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that DR..
kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney,
liver and bladder medicine, will do for
them. By enclosing ten cents to DR.

Value of Snakes.

Most people have decided shrink

wondered at In tropical countries,
where their bite is venOmous and often
fatal. But the grass snake ought not
to be COMPOUNDED with the rattlers,
cobras or pythons. 1t Is as harmless
TO humanity as frog and good deal

bugs is in existence. And slugs are
