Final Settlement Made for 26
Months Period of Federal
- Control.

A final.settlement with the twenty
four railroad companies comprising
the Pennsylvania system for the
twenty-six months constituting the
period of Federal control of the rail-
roads has been made by Director
General of Railroads Davis, it w
announced today.
After an adjustment of all &C.
counts between. the Government and
these railroads there Is a balance
due the Government from them,
largely;on account of capital expendi-
lures, of $90,000,000. This amount
will be funded by the Government;
the railroads giving properly secured
paper for the ultimate payment OF
this amount.
This completes the largest adjust
ment which has been or will be made
before the Railroad Administration,
Davis, said. The tonnage carried by
the Pennsylvania system represents
ebout "fs10 of the total traffic
handled by class l roads of this
country, and the equipment, freight
cars, locomotives, and passenger
cars represent about the same pro-
portion of the equipment of class !
roads.

TRADE COMES .
To j. s.
Director Of Commerce Klein
Shows Big Gain, and Defeat
Of Europe's Propaganda.

In announcing April figures Of
Latin-American trade, DIR. Julius
Klein, director OF the United States
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce, today termed them "a
decisive blow to anti American
propaganda"
.Enemies of American commerce
in Latin-America have been trying
to bewitch Latin-Americans into be-
lieving that the United States is not
buying. their products in important
quantities; that other countries,
commercial competitors of the
United States, are Latin-America's
best customers, and that Latin
America should reciprocare by plac-
ing orders for imported goods with
the foreign countries which the
propaganda represents and not with
the merchants and manufacturers Of
the United States Klein said.
He pointed out that in April, the
United States imported from Latin
America goods valued at Sill, $780,
600, almost double the value of such
imports in April, 1922, and in the
month period ended with April,
this country has taken products of
Latin-America to the value of $685..
931. 900. an. increase Of 1901, 221 900,
or SIS per cent over the figures for
the corresponding ten months of
1922.
These figures confirm earlier
statements of the bureau regarding
the return of prosperity to Latin
America and allay any remaining
apprehension that the United States
is losing it's trade in that region to
foreign competitors, Klein stated.

NEW YORK, June 16.-A dull
but steady tone was noted on the
Curb Exchange today. Interest in
the proceedings was distracted by
the announcement of the failure of
a prominent Stock Exchange house.
It was reported that much of the
selling in oil stocks in recent ses-
sions was for the account of the
defunct concern and consequently
the action of this group was
watched with unusual interest. There
was a marked absence of selling
pressure, indicating that liquidation
emanating from that source had
been completed. This was followed
by scattered buying throughout the
oil list, resulting in seven-point
gain in Prairie Oil & Gas at 1913,
and an advance of points in Ohio
Oil at 81. Fractional improvements
were registered by other Standard
Oil shares.
Cities Service showed much i'm
proved tone, rising 2 points to
1461h Weakness in Southern
States Oil was followed by a par
tial recovery, leaving net loss of
a half point at II.
Activity in the industrial group
was restricted and fluctuations were
fractional in most cases. Steadi-
ness was general, except in Yellow
Taxi, which declined about points
to 1921.
Mining shares were irregular.
Bonds were steady.

wide attention in the last Congress,
declared today that American rail.
roads seem now to be getting into
better shape and earning money!
'"They should be in condition to
reduce freight rates, so earnestly
desired by shippers in every section
of the country" said Couzens.
The Senator has been insisting
on better and more economic opera
ton and management of the rail-
roads, declaring that either elimina-
ton of waste and more scientific
use Of power and equipment opera

and freight charges lowered with.

Senator continued, land 1 will have
no more criticism of railroad man.
agement for some time. Reports
from various roads show good earn
ings, and believe the managers
are making reforms needed. I shall
have something to say later If
rates are not brought down. I sent
a QUESTIONABLE to some Of the rail-
road executives asking their views
as to railroad legislation. I sug-
gested they held public position
and should be willing Ito answer
my questions. Some replied, and /
have a few interesting letters to
read to the Senate"
Senator Couzens said he believed
in consolidation of strong lines
with some of the weak ones.
1--WE should remember that the
railroad transportation system is
national, not local, and that every
community is entitled to transporta-
ton facilities of some sort. We
cannot really prosper except as all
sections of the country prosper,
and transportation facilities are es-
sential to prosperity. The trans
portation system is inadequate and
existing rail lines should be main
tanned for the benefit of the COM
munities they serve"

wholesale buying in many lines for,
the future still lacks definite form.

Diverse Trends Noted. 81
diverse trends are noted in the.
leading speculative markets, ana the
price movement alike for securities
and staples is irregular with mosts
changes downward. The European
outlook for American grain is app
parently less satisfactory. "a

continuance of the previous excuses
over exports.
Signs of seasonal quieting are
slightly more numerous in iron and

Copper buying is said to have linz

whole is more cheerful than q short

definite form as to the further fu5

has slowed down somewhat.
'Scrap material is lower and pig

production is large, with anthracite

Reduction Of Employment. =
"a very slight reduction Of emf
ploynent is apparently noted at somea
large automobile centers. In cotton
goods announcements are made or

are slightly more active this week.
Raw wool is quieter at the West

keep LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young-to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels-there' no need of
having sallow conplexion-dark rings
under your eyes-pimples-a bilious
look in your face-dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from
inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, well-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on the
liver and bowels, which he gave to his
patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the SUBJ
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action yet always effective. They bring
about that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.
DR. Edwards Olive Tablets are known
by their olive color. 15c and 30c.

equally well or better. 1t can be
done when sowing the clovers, if
you have disc drill or can get one;
200 lbs. of 16% acid phosphate and
so to 100 lbs. of sulphate OF
