DELAYS REDUCE VALUE
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., June 9.—Poor
railroad service is a prime cause of de
creased agricultural production in the
middle west, a score of farm experts
have told the international joint com
mission at hearings held ! i Omaha, Des
Moines and Sioux Falls, representing
three great states of the corn belt.
The high commission is investigating
the St. Lawrence deep water way and
power project, which the middle west
farmers almost as a unit favor as an
outlet to Europe for their surplus prod
nets, an outlet which Is Independent of
the congested eastern railways.
The commission passed through Min
neapolis on Its way to Duluth, where
It will begin a series of hearings at the
five lake ports.
The lake ports are expected to give
the commission evidence that they can
accommodate oceail vessels if the com
mission recommends an improvement in
th-> St. Lawrence, which will permit
such vessels to enter the great lakes.
ARGUMENT ON SHORTAGE
IN THREE STATES.
In lowa, Nebraska and South Dakota
the commission heard this argument:
“The railroads cannot move farm crops
and stock when farmers want them
moved to market.
“Farmers with stocks of last year's
grains on hand are having trouble to
finance their spring planting, and con
sequently are not planting large an
acreage as if they had ready cash from
last year's crop.
“A dollar a hundredweight Is knocked
off the farm price of hogs simply be
cause of the uncertainty of getting cars
to get hogs to market. Hogs on the
farm bring an amount lower than the
packing center price by the freight plu3
#1 a hundredweight risk or even more.
“In a similar manner, grain guaran
teed In a ship for export brings 10 cents
more a bushel than grain simply con
signed to the seaboard with freight paid.
GRAIN AND STOCK
DETERIORATE BY DELAY.
“Grain and stock deteeriorate by de
lays In shipments.
“The farmers' profits are curtailed by
the exact amount represented in the
various transportation risks between the
farm and the consumer, except possibly
in the case of corn, where car shortage
this year has boosted the price of that
portion of the crop which could be mar
keted, in the opinion of some farmers.
“Uncertainty of being able to market
farm products is taking away from the
farmers the incentive to produce their
possible maximum.
“An open channele for ocean ships to
enter the great lakes would make pos
sible the moving of ail export gjrain be
fore December, thus reliecing those
farmers who depend on selling their
grain direct from the harvest fields." j
Charles Eyler, secretary of the Farm- !
ers' Elevators association of South Do-;
lota, said 30 to 35 per cent cf the 1919 j

H. G. Taylor, chairman of the Ne

scores of elevators in Nebraska a-*,

cause of the car shortage.
“The open way to the sea from Chi
cago will shorten the turn-around of the

said.
“The western grain cars will stay on

would make a single trip to New York. '

Acres of Forests Appointed.
HOBART, Tasmania, June 9.—With the
view of safeguarding the great asset
that Tasmania possesses In the forest
areas, estimated at 11,000,000 acres, a

is being prepared that will control de
struction and promote the growth of new
timber.
Asa first step, provision has Just been
made for the abolition of the o'.d licensing
system, whereby a cutter paid so much
per month for a license to cut timber
which was otherwise free of royalty, and
the substitution therefor of timber
licenses at a nominal rate of 2s 5d per
month and a scale of royalty for each
class oi timber cut.
The regulations also provide that no
tree of a lesser girth, measured three
feet from the ground, than the following
shall be felled: Eucalyptus, six feet
Circumference; Huon or Macquarie pine,
rive feet; King William pine, four feet
six Inches; celery top or other plue,
three feet, and blackwood, four feet sis
Inches.

American Golf Hopes
in English Competition
Rest in Two Experts
NEW YORK, June 9.—John Bull is
one up on Uncle Sam in the matter of
international golf competition as a re
sult of the defeat of Miss Marion Hol
lins and other American women golfers
nt New Castle, Ireland, but the hopes ol'
the American golf devotees are vested in
lanky Jim Barnes, who is somewhere on
the brosd Atlantic today en route to
Englend, and Walter Hagen, who sails
for Europe this week.
Barnes and Hagen will be this coun
try's strongest representative in the Brit
ish golf championship, which is sched
uled to commence at Deal late in June.
Both of these crack golfers have shown
brilliant form so far this year. Hagen,
who holds the national open title, has
been exhibiting unusually fine golf, and
the Rritlsh stars have reason to fear him.
Barnes closely approaches Hagen’s class.

They pass the plate for a second helping when Phoenix
Pork and Beans are on the table.
And the more they eat the better it is for them
—for the beans that bear the Phoenix brand are not just
ordinary pork and beans.
They are the pick of the bean crop, carefully cooked, in
our own kitchen, in combination with selected pork
—made palatably piquant with a sauce of distinctive flavor.
Phoenix Pork and Beans are, therefore, an ideal dish —good
tq taste, body-building and wholesome down to the last
morsel.
Ask your grocer for a can today. You’ll say you never
tasted real pork and beans until you tasted these.

Girls, Don’t Wash
Your Face J?
Use Liska cold cream Instead (>ou
have never used anything like it). Just
try it once, and you will never be with
out it. Soap and water has a tendency
to make the skin rough, and does not
cleanse the skin as thoroughly as Liska
cold cream. To prove It make this test:
Wash your face with soap and water,
dry thoroughly, then apply Liska cold
cream, massage It well into the skin,
then wipe off the superfluous cream with
a soft white cloth ; examine the cloth and
see how much dirt has accumulated there
on. Liska cold cream cleanses, softens
and beautifies the skin. For sunburn or
after a dusty auto trip there is nothing
like it. Its fine after shaving, too. Let
hubby or brother try it. Just compare
Liska cold cream with any other you
have ever used, and vou will need no
further argument to convince you that
it’s the best. It’s pnt up in tubes, the
only sanitary way. Try it tonight. You
will be delighted. At toilet counters
everywhere, Including the Hook and the
Haag Drug Companies.—Advertisement.
FIFTEEN YEARS
OF BUCK-DRAUGHT
t #
Black-Draught Highly Recommend
ed by Illinois Man for Li?er and
Stomach Disorders.—Used
It for Fifteen Years.
Singerton, 111. —“For fifteen years
we have used Tiiedford’s Black-
Draught, and have not as yet found
anything that could take Its place,”
writes Mr. W. F. Rister of this town.
“I have used It for Indigestion a num
ber of times, and it gives relief,”
continues Mr. Rister.
“For sour stomach, a heavy, bloat,
ed feeling, it is splendid. And <whe*
the liver gets torpid, so that when
you stoop and raise up suddenly you
feel dizzy, a few doses will set you
straight.
“We keep it and use for constipa
tion and the above troubles, and find
It most satisfactory. I can recom
mend it to others and gladly do so.
For the number of years I have used
Black-Draught now, I ought to know.”
In its 70 years of usefulness, Tbed-
Nearly every druggist keeps it.—
ford’s Black-Draught has relieved
thousands and thousands of persons
suffering from th-> results of a dis
ordered liver. And, like Mr. Rister,
many people feel that, after using
Black-Draught nothing can take its
place.
If you haven't tried Black-Draught
get a package today.
