GAINESVILLE, Ga.-When G..
R. Banks, OF this place, wishes to take
spin in a fivver all he has to do is
let his bucket down into his well,
draw it up and pour the contents into
the tank, crank her up and away he
goes, for he has in his front yard an
ordinary well that for years has been
turning out mixture that burns
equally as we'll as gasoline. Several
years ago the use OF the well for
drinking purposes was discontinued
on account OF the peculiar odor and
taste and the water was used for
washing purposes only.
One day Mrs. Banks was boiling
a few clothes on the kitchen stove,
and accidentally allowed the kettle TO
boil over. She was amazed to see the
flames Immediately cover the stove

WHAT MY NEIGHBOR SAYS
S OF INTEREST TO SAUK
CENTRE FOLKS

When one has had the misfortune
to suffer from backache, headaches,
dizziness, urinary disorders and ether
kidney ills-and has found relief
from all this sickness and stuff erirg,
that persons advice is of untold val
ue 20 friends and neighbors. the
following case is only one of many
thousands, but it is that of Sank
Centre resident. Who could ask for
a better example?
c. w. Stegner, miller, sauk Cen
tire, says: kidney trouble had a
grip on me. I was compelled quite
often during the night to pass the
kidney secretions because Of my
weakened kidneys. This was quite
bothersome because / never got my
proper rest and usually felt tired in
the morning. Doan's Pills, from
Dowswell's Drug Store, effected a

an added tax in freight charges Of
from $25 to $50 per year on every
farm in Minnesota. No politician
nor political party was there to edo
something for agriculture" no pub
lie official, state department nor
other agency was on hand to give evil
dence nor enter objections in behalf
of the farmers. Outside of the Farm
Bureau witnesses, all others appear
ing did so in behalf of their own
business.
The mass of convincing data and
information presented by the Farm
Bureau represented the fruit of four
months of tedious, persistent and in
telligent work on the part of the state
Farm Bureau office. Arrayed against
large group of brilliant railroad at
torneys was Fred S. Jackson, former
attorney general of Kansas, who was
employed by the Farm Bureau in
this case.
President Reed proved an able
spokesman and fully competent to
cope with the railroad attorneys. In
addition to him the Farm Bureau had
! able and effective witnesses in Thos.
E. eastman of Owatonna, John
Gustafson of Window and Senator
Herman Schmechel of Fairfax.
In the face of evidence presented
at this hearing, farm leaders of the
state feel great confidence that the
final decision of the Interstate Com
merce commission must deny any
increase in freight rates on agricul-
tural products.
One feature of the evidence pre-
scented by the Farm Bureau which
was at once impressive and called
forth much comment in the daily
newspapers, was the showing of facts
concerning thegrowth of truck trans
portation in a so mile radius of the
terminal livestock markets which has
increased astonishingly during the
past four years. 1t was pointed out
that because of high passenger rates
in effect in recent years there has
grown up large new system of pas
senger transportation which has
greatly reduced that business for
the railroads, and that a further In
crease in freight rates will inevitably
result in extending the radius of
truck transportation, thereby cutting
down the freight business of the
carriers with an accompanying de-
crease in earnings.
President Reed made it clear that
the farmers are not fighting the
railroads nor against their earning a
fair return, but that in view of the
more favorable condition of the roads
as compared with that of the farmers,
it is unthinkable that the latter be
further burdened in order to give the
roads greater returns than agriculture
yields.

Minnesota Farm Bureau
Scores at Rail Rate Hearing
Showing Against Added Freight
Burden on Agriculture

The Farm Bureau has once NOR;
demonstrated that it is the only eff
fective organized champion of the
interestes of the farmers of Mime
sofa. The state federation has JUS
rendered the greatest single service
to agriculture that has been per
formed in its behalf in the North
west in many years.
The hearing conducted in st.
Paul last week by Examiner Keelel
of the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, was perhaps the most vital!
important to the agricultural wei
fare of Minnesota ever held in the
state. 1t was hearing on the peti
ton of the Western roads for a blan
ket increase of 5 per cent in freight
rates.
At this hearing, lasting three days
the Minnesota Farm Bureau occu
pied more than half the entire time
in presenting it's case in opposition t.
any added freight burden on agricul
ture, and it was freely conceded by
attorneys and economists in attend
ance that the Farm Bureau had made
the case against the carriers petl
ton, if the case has been made.
President ]. F. Reed presented al
able statement, which was entered II
the record, showing that the rail
roads have never in history enjoyed
such prosperity as during the present
year, while agriculture in the North
west is receiving a gross income Of
$92,OOO,0O0 less than in 1924.
Mr.. Reeds statement called atten
ton to the fact that the railroads Of
America are now hauling the larges
revenue carloadings in history; thai
II weeks during the present year Thu
has exceeded million cars a week
that if loadings continue during the
rest of the calendar year it will mo-
be surprising that 100000 cars Of
revenue freight will be handled II
the country; that the returns for thi'
business will greatly exceed that Of
any previous year in transportation
that equipment, terminals and Other
physical properties of the carriers are
now at their height and the freight
service they are rendering has never
been excclled; that this has beer
made possible by their earnings; ane
that the general condition of the
American farms lacks much of being
in an average condition for buildings
equipment, comforts and necessities
of the farm home owing to the pres
ent agricultural depression.
Mr.. Reed also presented the mos
concise, clear-cut and comprehensiv,
exhibit showing the true situation O.
agriculture in this area which has We
been entered since hearings began be
fore the I. C. C. bearing upon thu
carriers petition. 1t was an exhibi
which brought forth general com
mendation for the Farm Bureau.
The public, and the farmers il
particular, are entitled to know of tn
great service rendered by the Farm
Bureau in this case.
They are entitled to know, further
that the Farm Bureau was the onl
organization that raised a voice il
behalf of agriculture in this matter
which if it goes through will mea

50 Cents for Local and
AZ Cents for Main Roads
Minnesota Good Roads Dollar Split in
1925 Favors County and Town
over State Roads

Minnesota's 1925 good roads dol
lar, says highway bulletin this
week, was made up of AZ cents for
state trunk or Babcock highways,
practically all paid by automobile
and truck owners, and of So cents
for local roads, mainly of property
taxes from county and township lev
les and state aid.
In Stearns county payments to-
ward local road improvements and
upkeep was larger in proportion than

tons to the state highway fund be-
cause nearly third of the auto and

spent in those cities, the bulletin ex-
