Middle West Conditions Favorable
Chicago, May . (U. P.) Ideal plant
ing and growing weather, coupled with
patriotism among the farmers of the
Middle West, augurs well for tremend
ous 1918 "victory" crops.
. In the agricultural anthem of joy,
sounded In reports to the United Press,
there was just one note of discord seed
may not be up to standard. And that
has been cared for to a great extent by
active winter work toward reserve seed
stocks.
Corn belt farmers having had their
rains a week ago. with a warm spell
following, are ready to plant now. Ne
braska, Illinois and Iowa are stocked
with reserves of tested seed for possible
replantings. Forecasts In these states
are for a greatly Increased acreage.
Fifty-one per cent larger wheat acre
age is predicted in the Northern States.
Wheat and flax, both In demand by the
government, will occupy most of the
fields there.
Rains this week would mean millions
to the farmers of the Northwestern and
coast states, observers say. There a
gain of 26V4 per cent in. grain acreage Is
expected. Conditions now are favorable
for the largest production per acre in
years.
In California the outlook for grain is
for considerably larger acreage. This
Includes rice, for which the food admin
istration has arranged to open thousands
of acres in the Sacramanto valley. A
half million more bags of rice are ex
pected to result from this venture.
Providentially, a long
drought in Texas haa been broken with
heavy rain, a help to crop producers and
a saving worth millions to livestock
raisers.

-, Airedale Gives Military Salute
Crap Lewis. May 6. (I. N. S.)
Sergeant Richardson of the Remount
depot, haa a pet Alrdale dog which can
give the military salute with as much
precision-as hia master. He "makes It
snappy," too.
Hearty indorsement of the proposi
tion that the Portland emergency' milk
commission erred In recommending that'
dairymen receive a lower price for milk
at thla time, is contained in a communi
cation to The Journal, by J. D. Mlckla,
state dairy and food commissioner.
In his statement. Commissioner Mickle
surveys the desirability of maintaining
conditions that will assure for Portland
a continuance of the quality of Its pres
ent milk supply the best in the United
States. He says:
Tour recent adltorial, also the com
munication of Alma D. Kata. relative
to the retail price of milk are timely
and to the point.
I have followed the subject very close
ly for a long time, and looking at it as
I have tried to do from the standpoint
of consumer, distributor and producer,
it seems to me that any reduction in
price at this time is not justified.
Cleaa Milk Sipvly
Let us look at the milk situation aa
it appliea to the city of Portland. To
do so we must go back a few yeara Into
the past when the milk consumers of
this city said in very plain words : "We
are coin a to have rood, wholesome.
clean, safe milk"; and they set about i
to get it. The word went out to the
dairymen who were furnishing the sup
ply and the "clean up" began. Milk in
spectors went Into the field, veterin
arians begair testing cows, and those
showing symptoms of disease were put
out of the herds (at-that time at a total
loss to the dairymen). New barns and
plants, until the -final result was that
Portland had secured the best milk sup-
: I ply of any city in the United States.

No.-. 5 Why a Six-Cent Fare in Portland?
-. (Continued )
We invite jour attention to the following edi-
- torial from "AERA," the official publication of
the American Electric Railway Association, on this
subject: 1
'The reijn of "the 5-Cent Fare that autocrat
of the electric "railway industry is passing. Sta
tistics of increased fares granted, of applications ;
for increases pending and other applications con
templated, indicate the undermining of his unbend
ing rule and transition to a rule of reason.
e
"The war is but hastening the date of his de
parture ithas not caused it. For a number of
. years the close observer had little difficulty; in f ore
' casting the near arrival of a time when operating
. economies, the shearing of profits, the improve
. ments in practices arid operation would no longer
suffice to keep even the slightest of margins.-be-tween
income and outgo, and when the -public
faced- either the marked deterioration of service,
no service at all, or an increased fare.
"Time U here. The question that faces the
country is nofAas to the amoimt-of profit that the
: owners of eledtf ib railways shall receive. Ht is a
question as to the amount of service that the public
shall receive, or in some instances, as evidenced by
those riot few roads which have gone into the junk
pile, as to whether jt the public shall receive any
service at all. V( - .
"It is not too much to say that the situation
involves the future policy of regulation of public
utilities. Regulation was designed to secure, as
the preambles to many of the laws say, 'the. best
,); possible service.' If it operates; for any: reason to
i prevent the giving of the service demanded it will-
- be discarded and some other, method of control or
" operation substituted. . :
"Increased cost of labor, of materials .and of
capital, have been met in every other industry, by
an increased price of the commodity "manufac
tured, or the service rendered. Everything food,
clothing, necessities and luxuries has increased
in price. This is something to be expected. It is
in response to the economic laws which govern
prices. No legislation can or will for any length
of time prevent it. Excessive profits can be curbed
by law, but neither goods nor services can for long
be sold below cost.
"It is perfectly apparent, then, that despite fran
chises, or statute, no business, even if it be a quasi
public business,, can be conducted at a loss without
financial and even physical ruin. Tlie same eco
nomic laws that apply to the price of bread apply
to the price of a streetcar ride. The fact that the
state assumes the right to regulate the latter will
in no way: prevent disaster if, in exercising the
power, it puts the price below cost.
. "The-public is squarely and fairly confronted
with the alternatives of a service which will not
-meet its needs, or an increase in price. commen
surate with the increase in the" cost -'of doing busi
ness." .
The foregoing statement of the situation must
strike the fair-minded person as representing the
: actual facts, and, what is primarily essential, It
-represents 'the facts as they apply to the whol
electric railway industry, in which there is invested
ithe enormous syjn of approximately 5,000,000,000
in this country alone. -
J The situation is the same, from Portland, Or., to
Portland, Me., and from Duluth to New Orleans.

back to his cows to endeavor to hane
on until cheaper feed was in sight. The
cheaper feed has tome but with it also
comes the edict of the commission re
ducing the price to be 'paid to the producer.
As stated above. I have tried to took
at this subject from the standpoint of
all concerned, but every time I do so
there recurs to me these questions : Do
the people of Portland appreciate the
best milk supply or any city in the Un
ited States? Do they consider what it
is costing to maintain it under present
conditions? Do we wish to maintain
and retain it, or are we willing to undo
the work of years and let the milk sup
ply 'drift back into the condition of a
few years ago? 1 think not, therefore
I take my stand with the milk pro
ducer, and say let him have fair com
pensation for his labor and a fair re
turn noon money inveetea.
Let us ruard very sealously the Qual
ity of milk that is sold in Portland, for
although Portland may have the best
milk in the United States, it is none too
good for Portland children or Portland
consumers.

HARRIS TELLS WHY
a
SALESARE LARGE
It's What the Neighbors Say
That Really Counts, Says
Special Representative
"These enormous sales." aald Mr.
K. C Harris, the Tanlac representa
tive, mean but one thing, and that
is merit. Tanlao is well advertised,
it la true, but such a large and rap
idly rrowlnr demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
It s wnat Hne neignoors say uui
counts. One bottle is sold In a neigh
borhood through advertising, out' ten
more aj-e sold in that community after
that first bottle produces results: and
that's right where Tanlac scores. People
are always willing to talk about their
ailments, but tney are more man win
ing to tell others of the medicine that
helps them. It's something they
couldn't keep to themselves if they
tried, for the. impulse to sympathise
with neighbors and want to help
them Is one of the strongest as well aa
one of the biggest things in numan
nsture. . .
"Tanlao is producing inese results. -
he continued, "and that Is why noth
ing on earth can keep It out or the
homes of the people. It Is not only
the most talked about medicine in the
world today, but. tn my opinion, it ia
the best and most efficient. And. al
though prominent officials and leaders
throughout the country have Indorsed
Tanlac, its greatest prestige ia firmly
based on the unqualified Indorsement
of the masses of the people.
"fiat a. day nor a ween passes mat
does not bring hundreds of statements
from the people concerning ma gooa
this medicine is doing and reciting the
circumstances of remarkable caaea mat
would convince tne most saepucai.
These are alone sufficient for Tanlac.
but the figures are more. The figures
contained in these enormous orders
speak eloquently and convincingly or
the great good Tanlac is doing.

tory we have sold to the arenta an-'
pointed by you. 7S.848 bottles of Tanlac,'
ana tnis in a section long on territory
and, short on population.
I must confess that your story ef
success with Tanlao in other field
when you first came to ua would have
sounded something like a fairy tale
but for tha tmct that wa hait mim ad
vance information about what jrou had'
aone in otner territory, ana 'we other
wise would have been exceedingly
saepitcai. .. ,
Tou hare made rood all that von
promised to do tn this territory, and
then some. At all times you hava
been reasonable and fair In roar
memoas ana can cvrxainiy te de
pended upon to carry out any verba!
or written contract that may be
witn you.
I consider that no dealer will -make
mistake in taklnr on the distribu
tion of Tanlac in your territory. Yours
very sincerely.

Mr. O. T. Wlllla, International Dis
tributer of Tanlac Fourth National
Bank Bldg., Atlanta, Ga. :
Mr Dear Mr. Wlllla Replying to
your Inquiry, we are glad to make
statement of our exact experience with
Teniae -
When you called on us the latter
part of 1918 we could nog comprehend
the extent of business Tanlao waa
haring. as reported to us from other
states. W had. however, heard some
thing of Tanlac in the Southern fttates
near ua. and. aeiievtna in tne state
ments as made by you. we agreed to
cooperate - and act aa your agent for
our immediate territory, which covers
one-quarter of the State of Texas,
thouah a very sparsely settled portion.
Wben you spoke of our buying Tanlac
in carload lota I confess we were
little bit skeptical.
Although your campaign did not be
gin -unttf February, 1117, from that
time until this rood day Tanlac haa
been the greatest patent medicine
seller ws have ever bandied or had
anvthlnr to do with. In six months'
time we bought and distributed EIGHT
carloads.
Wi aail 'these goods net cash, ftf
teen days, and so far we have not lost
a slnale dollar on a l anise account.
The dealer-who secures the agency for
Tanlac Is very fortunate. Indeed. Very
respectfully.
