TO URGE ACTION
Mercer To Go to Washington in
Interests of Livestock Men.
Harding to Ask Congress to
to Pass Emergency Measure.

]. H. Mercer, secretary of the Kan
sas Livestock association, will leave
the latter part of this week for Wash
ington, where he will urge passage at
the special session OF congress of an
emergency farmers tariff. bill and
agricultural interests. The Kansas
Livestock association is one of the
strongest organizations of its kind in
the middle west. a.
president Promised Notion.
Secretary Mercer with other live
stock representatives calledJupon Presi-
dent Harding three weeks ago. The
president stated at that time that he
would ask congress to pass a short
emergency tariff measure before TAX
ing up any other legislation. The live
stock representatives called attention
to the manneFsiu WHICH American
markets are being Hooded with i'm
portations of beef, mutton and wool
According to Henry c: Wallace. United
States 2secretary of agriculture, more
than 100, 100000 pounds Of wool is
now on the ocean en- route to the
United States, altho it is said ths
American market is congested and the

TO Adjust Freight Rates.
An adjustment of freight rates will
also be sought at the present session
thru a congressional investigation to
disclose any inequalities or prohibitive
rates, so that they may be reetified by
the interstate commerce commission;
Mercer asserts that present railroad
rates are destructive of agriculture
and should be lowered, even If it is
necessary to repeal the guarantee sec
tions of the Esch- Cummins act.
Under present freight rates, accord
ing to Mercer, Argentine beef or corn
or wheat can be laid down in New
York considerably cheaper than
similar shipment from Kansas or
other states in this section. So with
out tariff protection, he declares, rail-
rates alone give the Argentine pro-
Queer an advantage at eastern mar
kets over the farmer of the middle
west.

Washington, April 11.-Cost of
running the railroads now is falling

Executives.
Operating cost declined 715 per

declined but II per cent.

plus an additional half per cent for

German empire became complete
when on February 81, 1881, she mar

March 8, 1888.
Claimed Fame as Hausfrau.
During the time the emperor was
building up the empire, preparing for
the great campaign to extend its ter
ritories, the kaiserin devoted herself
to the home. Her chief claim to fame
was her ability as a hausfrau.
She never aspirea to shine in court
festivities. Her husband calmly said
OF her, the poor dear is such a
trump" She delighted in supervis-
ing the household affairs of the
kaiser's magnificent establishments
Another delight was her seven chill
dren. These were the Crown Prince.
Frederick Wilhelm; Eitel Frederick,
Adalbert, August Wilhelm, Oscar,
Joachim and Victoria Louise.
The constant warfare between the
crown prince and the emperor caused
her much worry and she spent much
time in attempting to reconcile their
differences.
Grieved Over War.
During the war, she was thrown
into the background by her resplen-
dent husband. She was said to grieve

Cross and did some hospital work.
Even in the latter service, her per-
s0EalIty was against her and her well
intended visits to the hospital wards
were not a great success.
When the final disaster came, she
Immediately followed the kaiser into
exile, continuing her role as the faith
full hausfrau. Their >troubles had
wrecked her health, however, and
shortly after the flight to Amerongen,
she was seized with the first attack
of heart trouble which threatened her
life.
Sons Suicide Was Blow.
Thee suicide of her youngest son,
Prince Joachim, was a severe blow
and ii was feared she would not rally
from the illness which followed.
Several times later, the entire fans
lily was called to her bedside. The
crown prince came from asylum at
Wierengen and their sons and the
Princess Victoria Louise came from
their scattered homes in Germany.
She rallied each time and was able
to accompany the kaiser in his stroll
about the grounds at Doom.

TO GET CARS FOR WHEAT
Surplus of $4,000 WIN Be Available
--H,ft For 1921 Crop.


An agreement to accumulate a sur
plus of $4,000 empty box ears in Kan
sas for initial movement of the 1921
wheat crop was reached Saturday at a
conference OF the railroads and the
Public Utilities Commission This
should. in a larger measure, prevent
recurrence of the car shortage, ac-
cerding to Clyde NJ. Reed. chairman
of the commission.
While the car situation is good at
thfs'time, the commission believes ar
rangements should be made to pre-
vent another car shortage such as has
existed. the last three years. The 22,-
00o ieplpties are to be in addition to
all ordinary mornings and eutgoings
OF cars.
Based on the wheat acreage this
year and an average yield of IA
bushels to the acre, the 1921 produc-
ton will be about 1875, 600, 900 bushels.
Figuring 1900 bushels to the car,
about 1880 cars would be neces
Sary to move the crop.
