the distance from the sea that they
were before the war broke out.
Transportation rates the world over
have advanced, both by land and wa
ter. But the fact that our chief COM
p~etitOrs in the grain, livestock AMI
agricultural products markets of the
world have a short expensive land
haul where we have a long expensive
land haul, and a sea haul which,
whi!e longer than ours, is only a lit
tie mOr expensive, results in our
being placed at a marked disadvan-
tage as compared to u rate position
prior to the war.
AS n instance of that disadvan-
tage the cost of moving a bushel of
wheat from the farm in the Argen-
tine to Western Europe has advanced,
since pre-war days, a cent and a half
per bushel, while the cost of moving
a bushel of wheat from Yankton,
South Dakota, to western Europe has
advanced 1914 cents per bushel-a
handicap against the South Dakota
farmer, additional to that he stood
up under before the war, amounting
to II cents a bushel!
! Is it any wonder that the buying
power of the Middle Western and
Rocky Mountain farmer is below par
when, out of that dollar, there has tC
be paid an additional cost of trans
~pOrtation?
In general the cost of deep water
transportation has advanced 25 pei

time the cost of land transportation
has advanced IS per cent. These
costs determine relative rates-pre

EASY TO DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
You Can Bring Eaek Color and
lustre With Sage Tea
and Sulphur

When yen darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one car tell,
because it's done so naturally, so even
ly. Preparing this mixture, though, at
home is mussy and troublesome. At
little cost you can buy at any drug
store the ready-to-use preparation, I'M
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dents called "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" You just dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your haiE, taking one small
strand at a time. By morning ali gray
hair disappears, and, after another ap-
pIication OF two, your hair becomes
beautifully daTkened, glossy and lux
urisnt.
Gray, faded hair, though no disgrace,
is a sign of old age, and as we all de-
sire a youthful and attractive appear

route eastward. The heavy black lines from Chicago and
from Duluth indicate the Great Lakes route to Buffalo. At
the present time the route which controls the cost of trans
.pOrtation to Europe, and the farm price of wheat and other
grains, crosses from Buffalo overland to New York and
thence by sea to Europe. The figures shown along this
route indicate present day costs of transportation from
Duluth or Chicago to Liverpool. The st. Lawrence ship
channel route from Buffalo to the Atlantic shows, in black,
the part now ready to be used by ocean ships, the 27-foot
.Weland ship canal now building at Niagara will be finished
in 1880. The shaded portion indicates the now used small
canals of the upper ST. Lawrence and the thirty-three miles
of channel which must be improved to complete the sea
route from Duluth or Chicago to Europe.

from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, via the Panama Canal.
The effect is to pull business away from the interior and

Who wakes

engineer?

N song that struck a responsive chord in
every American soldiers heart towards the end
of the last big war was, ooh, how I hate to get
up in the morning!" His great hope was that
he'd live to Kill the bugler. Then he'd get the
other pup, the one that wakes the bugler up!"
We can all understand that! Human nature is
naturally lazy, and if there was not something
compelling us to get up we probably would all
reraain a little longer in bed.
Did You ever wonder who gets the engineer
up? The train must leave exactly on time. The
fires must be hot-steam up-the conductor on
the iob-the engineer in the cab-and orders in
his hand.
Not only must each particular train move out
precisely on the minute, every man alert and in
his place, but all along the line for hundreds of
miles, for thousands of miles, an army of trained
mea must be on the job, alert, anticipating the
movements of that train, safeguarding it upon
its way.

RAIL RATE CASE
IS CRUCIAL
By HARRY WARD

Behind he simple announcement
Of the Interstate Commerce Com.
mission today that II would hold
hearings July and . on the
valuation Of the st. Louis q ORAL
Ion railroad, lies one OF the most
important questions the Commis-
sion has ever been called upon
to decide.
It is in this case that the Com.
mission expects to outline the prin-
ciples which will fix he rate-making
basis for all the railroads OF the
country, with the possibility of
raising or lowering freight rates
to the aggregate Of millions Of dol
lars annually.
Although the question is Of the
greatest Importance. two pygmy
railroads have been chosen for the
battle-ground. The first of these
TOW roads is the st. Louis & ORAL.
ion, operating 8 miles Of main
around st. Louis. The other II the
Manufacturers railroad, switch.
Ing line In East st. Louis.
The question before the Com.
mission is the tentative valuation
Tor rate-making purposes OF the
two roads. Examiners Of the Ccbn.
mission held that the Manufac.
turers' road did not have excess
earnings which might b taken by

Accepting the defeat of the

death Of all farm relief measures
ct this session, the Congressional
Farm Bloc, at q secret meeting to-

ST. LOUIS. June 25.--An organ
lied effort to obliterate the credit

in the hope Of saving at least a
part Of the huge sums Of money
taken annually through his cunning
devices has been undertaken by the
st. Louis Credit Mems Association,
in cooperation with the national
body.
With the recent completion Of q
81, 900, 900 fund from 20 select Key
cities in the East and West. and
efforts under way to obtain q am.
liar amount in the West and South
to be used as a ''war chest" the

Approximately $3.50. 900, 900 Is said
to be exacted each year from busi.
ness in the United States by per

the campaign the losses from this
source, It is anticipated, will be
materially reduced.
