Sclhtel SUPPLIES SHOULD E Transports and Cargo Ships Are '.Sailing .With'-Ballast-.-When - Equipment Goes Cheaply.'- Washington, July Tl. WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR NAL,) A statement from the statis tics branch, ofi the 5 general staff xf the j army says that ? only : small amount' bf entrineerinr eaulnment in rFrance.whlch is desired by the arri cultural department for ' return to this country' for road construction, is available, much' of it having been sdld or Inventoried for sale to the French government, f.) Among the engineering officers recent ly -eturned from France there Is a dis position to : question '.the accuracy of this. J 'They ' say that while inventories have " been made v for prospective sale, very tittle has actually been sold, and if sale is made it will be at a traction of the value which would -be secured by return of , the equipment to this country. It is further asserted that transports have been returning with water ballast for months when the ships could have carried some of the equipment piled up at depots in France.; The war depart ment is accused of failing to cooper ate with the department of agriculture to the fullest, extent in arranging for the returns of this material. . However this imay I be, the war de partment takes the .position, that no additional requests for return of equip ment should "be made save in most ex ceptional, cases. .Meantime the distribut ing of surplus: material "In -the United States is going on, and thousands : of trucks are. being, sent to the roadmak ers. About 300 trucks have been or dered sent to Oregon, it "said. - FRUIT HELD. 'GOAT' FOR RAILROADS (Continued From .

'The point was illustrated by reciting the, owner-efa -store.- If he - sells one doseii shirts he must: realise a greater gross profit therefrom than 'if he sells 1008 s shirts.

He showed that the Northwestern railroads, with large fruit traffic have , consider ably longer , hauls .

CHARGE AOAIX. i -J Important developments in presenting the case - of the 'shippers ' and i growers are expected when, the Idaho utilities commission ' completes the submission of Its testimony and the actual growers'- and shippers representatives take the- witness stand. ' Among the first spokesmen for the fruit Industry will be A. W. Stone, general manager ; of the Hood River , Apple Growers' - asso ciation, .who expects to be called ; late today. . - . These and other men will stress the fact that i the carriers .were -very swil ling to - fight for the consignments ' of the fruit Industry-when it was in its infancy, and that" they then handled the traffic at a good profit. Now that the industry ' has grown In 4 scope uptil it is one of ' the most Important In the t West, ": with carriers' Tpvenues correspondingly increased, the roads see a ; "goati upon which " mey can sad' die their losses from other operations. PERCENTAGE INCREASE - r? BI8LIKEI t ' ' " The 'growers ' win strenuously object to a 'percentage" increase " in , tariffs, on the ground that - It presents an un fair burden, giving other sections of the country: the advantage of a handi cap in the race 'to markets. It will be shown' that; the roads are . profiting greatly, and need no added revenue, but that if the interstate commerce com mission does not see "this as a fact It would do the fruit industry no injustice by applying a "cents' increase. That is to say," shippers ' point out that , if a rise . in tariff is mandatory it should be . equal On " all ' districts. If 25 cents per ton more is needed all districts should be required to pay 25 cents per ton, ' rather than to - apportion the , in crease on a percentage plan. ROADS' PROFITS SHOWS' Evidence of the profits reaped by Northwestern roads was submitted in part this mornfng. It was shown that the Union Pacific netted a! profit of something, more than 10 per cent , in 1918, and " that muchr of ?.hls profit on freights was from the- fruit Industry a The Northern Pacific, Rotable among the Northwestern . carriers that ; profit from . the ' fruit . industry, paid ' large' stock dividends last year, and In addi tion j put much revenue gfrom t freights into its treasury. . .., --k-'- .: - Northwestern lines will be shown: to' have, suffered very slightly during- the war and - to have borrowed a minimum sum while eastern roads were plunging head over heels into debt to continue In business. This will subtantlate the con tention that the carriers are not entitled to an increase ,. in- perishable freight rates. - - It is possible that the hearing can be closed by Saturday - night, but it will continue with a session Monday if neces sary.

To stop or prevent this souring etf.lhe food contents of the stomach and to neu tralize the acid, and make it bland and harmless, - a teaspoonful of olsurated magnesia, a- good and effective corrector of -acid stomach, should - be taken in a quarter of a glass of hot or cold water after eatinr or whenever gas. sourness r acidity is felt.
