TOUCH OF SUMMER

The first touch of real summer
was experienced yesterday and the
weather is no ways chilly today. The
farmers are elated over the hot
weather for it takes this to make the
cotton and otter crops grow and
thus far this spring the cold weather
especially the cool nights, have re-
tarded the growth of crops.

SHARP CUT IN RAIL
EXPENSES URGED
Only Way To Reestablish Financial
Stability. is Claim-Committee OF
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States Reports-Can Not
Increase Rates.

Washington, May 22.-Ha:lcoads
must make sharp reductions in their
operating expenses if their credit
and financial stability are to be re-
established, a committee Of the
Chamber of Commerce, of the Uni
ted States, which has made survey
of the transportation question, de-
clarel tonight in a statement.
Necessity of practicing strict eco
nomy was urged, the committee
pointed out that "the readjustment
of salaries and wages, is in progress
in all other industries, and it is to be
assumed that railroad wages will in
the future, as they have in the past,
bear an equitable relationship to
wages paid in other activities" =,
The committee was of the opinion
that the grouping or consolidation
of railroads must ultimately be ac-
complished. 1t also declared that fed
eral incorporation of railroads was
highly desirable.
No More Legislation
No additional legislation on the
railroad question, however, was
needed at this time, the statement
said, as it was advisable to have fur
ther experience iwth the trans,orta-
ton act before attempting to modi-
fly it.
The committee stated it had come
to the conclusion that "even with in
creased traffic that will come with
the gradual return of business pros
perity the business of railroad
transportation can not be restored
to profitable basis until the pres
ent high operating expenses are cut
down."
1T is recognized by the railroads,
the committee report continued,
'tthat rates and fares can not be in
creased"
Stressing the need for more eco
nomic methods of operation, the
committee said the first step toward
the accomplishment of economics
should be. greater cooperation
among the carriers in the perform
ance of their services. In terminal
organization and management, the
report stated, the cooperation of
the carriers was especially urgent.
Payroll More Than Doubles
"Whatever economies may be ef-
fected by changes in operating
Methods" it was stated, "there in
evitably must be a reduction in the
percentage which salaries and wages
comprise of the total operating
revenue. The payroll of the rail-
roads in 1917 amounted to S1,7O0,-
100000, or about 45 per cent Of the
operating revenue. In 1920 the pay
roll had more than doubled, having
risen to $S,75O,OOo,Ooo, which was
about 60 per cent of the operating
revenue.
"The committee assumes that
every effort will be made by the car
riers to maintain equitable scales of
wages for different classes of en-
ployment. While wage must De re-
duced, no class of labor should bear
an inequitable share of the burden
of the rehabilitation period and all
should render a full eight hours
service for eight hours pay"

Why the Editor Left Town

One of Viroqua's young men sent
a clipping TO his bride soon to be, with
this message written on the margin.
Hope this don't happen to us. Bet
ter show it to Goldsmith and make
sure" The clipping follows:
Somebody sent the editor of the
Poketown Gazette a few bottles OF
home brew. The same day he re-
ceived for publication a wedding an
nouncement and notice of an auction
sale. Here are the results: "Wm
Smith and Miss Lucy Anderson were
disposed of at public auction at my
farm one mile east of beautiful clus-
ter of roses on her breast and two
calves, before a background of farm
implements too numerous to mention
in the presence of about seventy
guests, including two mich cows, six
mules and one bob sled. Rev. Jack
son tied the nuptial knot with 200
feet of hay rope and the bridal couple
left on one good John Deere gang pillow

Income Tax Deputy Here

Careful study of the forms now in
the hands of taxpayers will aid great
ly in the filing of correct return. If,
however, the taxpayers meet with I'M
usual difficulties they may call upon
the bureaus experts, who are visiting
every county in the United States to
assist taxpayers in making out the
forms. The services are offered with
ont cost, but failure of the taxpayer
to see the deputy does not relieve him
from his obligation to file his return,
accompanied by at least one-fourth
of the amount of tax due, on or before
March 18th. 1921.
Filing Liability: A single person
whose net income is $1,000 or more
must file return, regardless of the
personal exemption claimed.
A married person living with wife
Tor husband) whose net income, (wife
and minor children included) amounts
to $4,000 or more must file a return,

"TRUTH-IN-FABRIC' BILL UP
Bill to Make Wool Cloth Manufacture
ers Label Their Goods

Chicago, Feb 18.-"American tex
tile manufacturers have been so per-
sistent in the use of re-worked rags
in all wool cloth that they have caus-
ed reduction of 100000 in our
sheep population in the last two years
and of $3.50, 900 in a decade. If a
way is not soon found to get the pub
lie demand for virgin new wool cloth
back into touch with the wool growers
the continued reduction in the fiocks
will eventually produce clothing sit
uation worse than any experienced as
a result of the World War" This
statement was made to-day by How
ard z Greene, secretary of the Nation
al Sheep and Wool Bureau of America.
The Truth in Fabric measure, which
was prepared by experts of the Ma
tional Sheep and Wool Bureau of
America, provides that domestic and
foreign textile manufacturers shall
stamp their cloth entering our inter-
state commerce with its content of
virgin new wool and of shoddy-
old rage, re-worked in some cases as
often as eight times. At the time of
the introduction of the measure, ac-
cording to Mr.. Greene, American text
lie manufacturers were using re-work-
ed rags for two-thirds of the cloth
they placed on the market as "all
wool" Truth in Fabric bills have
ben introduced into the legislatures of
Montana and Utah. 1t is expected
that similar measures will be intro
duced into the legislatures of other
states, including that of Wyoming
which has already endorsed t h e

CONDEMNS HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results

That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog REM
edles and that he is raising some of
the best hogs ever placed on the mar
ket, was the statement made recently
by T.. III. Beckstead, well-known hog
raiser and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
OF his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ex-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
OF his wonderful success by explaining
that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (which is pure
concentrated minerals and cost only a
couple of dollars) and mixes same with
enough bran or filler to make a hun
dred pounds. All hogs, and especially
brood sows require minerals as they
keep them free from worms, and in the
pink OF condition, and are essential to
the hogs growth and a well balanced
ration. This inexpensive mixture plac-
ed in a sheltered box where the hogs
can get at it as they need it, viii pro-
duce Tar better results than any high
priced so-called stock foods.
Send two dollars to the Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells St.,
Chicago, ILL.,, and they viii forward
you by prepared parcel post, enough
mIneraline to make a full hundred
pounds. sd ADV

The Tale of a Hide

One of the Censor's good farmer
friends showed the editor a check for
So 80 which he had just received from
the sale of a beef hide and asked him
if he thought that would buy his child
a pair of slippers. Practically all of
the unrest and bitterness in the agri-
cultural communities today is repre-
scented in this great difference between
the price of the raw product from
the farm and the finished product from
the manufacturer. Resumption of
normal business throughout the ma
ton depends upon how soon the gang
of Wall Street spectators let go their
strange hold upon the throat of the
farmer and small business man by
raising the price of the products of
the one end lowering the cost the
other must pay for his goods and
wares. Those parasites toll not, but
they make their millions while the
common folk create the wealth they
dabble in 1t would be blessed thing
for the nation if the whole Wall Street
crew could be dumped in the middle
of the Atlantic ocean.

HATING BIG BUSINESS

on hate Big Business, don'tyou ~
You like to bait corporate power
and wealth don't you?"
Let us answer-HNoi"
We do not hate Big Business be-
cause it is big. We only hate it when
II uses Its bigness to rob and Cypress
the weaker businesses.
This concerns all of us. Some OF
the finest examples of the golden rule
IN business in this country are to be
found in the big corporations. 1t is
almost automatic that man cannot
succeed in business today unless he is
honest, helpful and fair. Such Big
Business managed and controlled by
big men is a distinct help to the coun-
try. Destroy them and our entire
system will totter and fall.
But there are organizations yet who
seek to exploit the public. They are
not content with a fair deal-they
want to be hoggish. Because they are
so the public is down on them,--Grant
County Herald.
Brother Sherman of the Herald
touches the right spot in the article
above. Big Business Cor large COM
olnation Of capitaD is essential to the
nations welfare, when rightly con-
Quoted, but when one of our own gov
eminent officials declares that coal
cost the government four times what
,lt should the past year, it makes the
common mans blood boil to think OF
the way we are Systematically mulch
ed and MIXED by the big fellows who
have much power but little conscience.

All-American End Last Year Now Re

Chicago, Aug. 12.-Charles Carney,
named by many experts as an end on
the mythical all-American football
eleven last fall, is recovering today
from an operation that probably has
put an end to his football career.
The Illinois star sustained a torn
ligament in his knee during the 1920
football season which necessitated the
operation and physicians said it was
unlikely that the knee ever again
would stand the strain of football.
