CHICAGO. Dec. 4, In July.
the latest month for complete data1
available the average railway freight
rate In the rnite'i States was 4f per;
cent higher than in the period from
1S90 to and the average whoj sale
price of commodities was exactly 10'1
pr cent higher. This annotincemi nt
based upon elaborate statistics show-:
Ins the entire history of average rail
way rates and average prices from
1S90 to Vj2 and taken from interstate;
commerce commission and bureau of
labor records was made by the '"Kail-1
way Ase" today. Iteferrinp to the fact !
that the most serious complaints re
garding the present rates conies from
the farmers the "Hallway As? shows
that the average wholesale prices of J
farm products are now 88 per cent;
higher than from 1MQ to 1SK9. j
"The average railway rate steadily
declined", says the "Railway Ase".
until HUT, and was then 15 per cent
less than in the period from 1800 to i
1899. It was not until 1918 that a Ken-:
eral advance in rates applying to all
the railways was made and in that
year average wholesale prices had in
creased until they were 1G5 percent
higher than the average from 1890 to i
3899."
"The real reason why there is at
present ko much complaint about al
leged high railway rates is that for a
loiif period of years shippers and pro-j
ducers become accustomed to doiiiK i
business on railway rates which were;
steadily declining and prices which'
wuio rapidly increasing. When they j
complained now about lite relations
hetwoen rates and prices they usually
compare them with the relation which i
existed In 19l; or 19to. Hut all rea-i
son Ink', of this time, it Is most unfair
and fallacious because for a long per-,
iod before those years rates had been t
declining and prices have been in- (
creasing to such an extent that rats
had become unreaH mably low com-1
pared with prices. "At the present
prices of commodities and the present;
railway rates the producer or owner of j
almost any commodity can buy far
more railway freight transportation
with any given amount of that com
modity than he could have bought with
it In any year prior, to 1910, and much
more than he.cimld have bought at the
avoruge rate and U'1ccb from 1S90 and

hibtfry of the nation has a presi

members of a great international con
ference in attendance. The galleries
and corridors were jammed.
Arrangements had been made by
the state department for place fur
delegates from foieiK" nations to the
arms conference, their wives and
delegation attaches.
Secretary Hughes was given a
warm reception when he arrived at
the head of the cabinet.
There was more applause when the
conference delegates entered. Mem

At the right of Speaker (liUett Rat

The audience rose and applauded
Mrs. Harding wheii she appeared.
Promptly at 12: 110 the president
was announced.
The audience rose and applauded
for a full minute until Speaker Cil
Iptte's gavel called for silence.
The president's remarks drew ap
plause ut the outset when he ex
pressed gratification over the nation
being at peace.
. Again from : house members and
others cume applause whim the ex
ecutive promised help to other na
tions in working out their problems.
The president's statements regard
ing agriculture Mini railroad rates
were delivered without demount ra
tiou, but there was considerable ap
plause when Hut executive declared
for regulation of labor organizations.
The demonstration became pronounc
ed when the president declared that
labor organizations should not be per
mitted to exact unfair terms or cause
distress lo the public. The sugges
tions for an industrial tribunal were
followed intently. There was hearty
applause whim the president conclud

Mr. li. Jacobs b placing his large tract of the very richest . . '.
of Klamath County tule reclaimed land on the market and
guarantees a square deal with buyers.
The Land Is Unsurpassed in Its Productiveness
Here are some facts: One tract produced this year 66 .
bushels of hard wheat; another 51 bushels; and one tract ' -of
3C0 acres produced 6,000 sacks of rye; and you can fig
ure for yourself as the value of such land. THE CROPS
WILL PAY FOR THE LAND IN A FEW YEARS.
MINT IS
IG MONEY MAKER
i i, .
. . '.. . Willamette Valley Beaver Dam land has been growing '
' mint and producing peppermint oil for several years at
good profit and the experienced growers are changing lo
cations from the Willamette Valley to the reclaimed lands
near, Klamath Falls. Climate and soil conditions in Klam-.
' ath County are decidedly excellent for unusually profitable
production of mint, as well as celery, onions, and in fact
anything that grows.
One of the Todd Brothers, pioneer mint growers, who have
made millions on tule reclaimed lands in Michigan, exam
ined into conditions in the Willamette Valley and Klamath
County last summer, and pronounced these tule reclaimed
lands of Klamath County the richest and most adaptable in
the world for mint production, and predicts that KLAM
ATH TULE LANDS WILL CONTROL THE WORLD
MARKET OF MINT OILS IN A FEW YEARS.
Wheat and rye, onions, etc., must be planted each year, but
A FIELD OF PEPPERMINT IS GOOD FOR SEVEN
YEARS with no more cultivating than alfalfa.
- .' Sixty pounds of mint per acre at $3 per pound is an ordin
ary record. Arid the crop is easily harvested and marketed. !
;; 17,500 acres in mint in the U. S., and the chewing gum fac-
I' tories use the production of 12,000 acres. The demand for
, mint oils is increasing.
The Door of Opportunity Is Now Open
Now is the time to get this land at a price that will surely . . . .
'. ' double in a short time. Mint crops will yield as high as ' ' . '
$200 per acre.
We Are Prepared to Show You Facts
The tract of land that Mr. Jacobs is putting on the market . '"-..:
will bear inspection, and we are prepared to show you a -real
bargain, and will be glad to go into details with you if
you are inclined to make some money easily and legiti
mately. You Get the Real Thin g for Your Money , Mother Earth
There will be several hundred acres sold to the first appli- ';
" ' cants on the following terms: ' V
One-third cash and balance on long time at 5 per cent inter
est, AND IT IS QUITE PROBABLE THAT CROPS
FROM THE LAND WILL TAKE CARE ALL DE
FERRED PAYMENTS.
WE WILL ENTER INTO CONTRACT TO CARE FOR
YOUR ACREAGE and pay you a cash rental for five
years, and turn the land over to you in full bearing mint.
We are certain that we have the best investment ever of
fered and would like to have you investigate.
