Startling him hearers during the closing days of Congress, Representative Dyer, of Missouri, stated that attempts were being made to scare members of Congress Into voting for the continuance of government control of railroads, by a threat of defeat at the next elections. "I am vigorously opposed to propaganda that is organized and has Its headquarters generally here In Washington trying to Influence us on matters of this kind," said Mr. Dyer, "without furnishing any facts. I hold In my hand a letter, similar to others 1 have recIved." The letter referred to was dated St. Louis, Feb.

It is scientifically compounded from vegetable herbs.

It is not a stimulant and is taken In teaspoonful doses. It ia not recommended for everything. It is nature's great helper in relieving and overcoming kidney, liver and bladder troubles. A sworn statement of purity Is with every bottle of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root.

The New Home Treatment for Ugly, Hairy Growths (Boudoir Secrets.) Here is a simple, yet very effective method for removing hair and fuzi from the face, neck and arms: Cover the objectionable hairs with a paste made by mixing some water with a little powdered delatone.

The evidence is very clear that should the raflroads be returned to private management and control It would be most disastrous to business and the country at large. I am asking each of you to put forth your best efforts to the end that the railroads of the country remain unter Government control1 "Neither of the two men whoee names have been signed to that letter reside in my district," continued the Representative from Missouri.

He then called attention to the fact that the following notation was made at the bottom of the letter; "Carbon copy to John Scott, room 605-507, A. F. of Euilding, Washington, P. C. stating that this man Scott was probably in charge of th campaign.

"This letter," said Mr. Dyer, "gives no facts or information to me or any member of Congress as to why I should vote for a five-year extension of the railroads under Government control nor for permanent ownership. It is a systematic effort, as I view and from letters I have received from my city, indicating that from now on until Congress does act, you and I will be bombarded with letters from people at home and elsewhere." "These men whose signatures are attached to this letter, I do not know. I know they do not live within my district and I doubt if they are in effect working for the railroads. But it is a sinister method of influencing legislation.

AVe want, when the tlm comes to vote upon this question, to vote as the best interests of the country demand, from the best information wo can get." Representative Dyer was highly commended for this stand. The question of the continuance of Government control of railroads or their return to private ownership is one that should be settled only after deep study and with the interests of the whole country at heart. No vote upon the subject should be made which is influenced by a few who seek to benefit by one kind of control or another. BEARINGS, BRUSHES, TIRES.

In this emergency we have tried to do our part. We scoured the country for raw materials our Traffic Manager spent his days riding freight cars In we shipped raw materials in carload lots by express and pleaded with manufacturers to increase their deliv eries to us. But it was a slow process.

Some of our raw materials are produced only In Japan supplies in this country were low and shipments required three months to come from the Far East Then we had to recruit and train skill ed labor. We brought our salesmen into the factory and trained them as fore men.

VIth full State cooperation according to the terms of the Federal Aid Road Act, the Cnited States will have a total of at least $574,000,000 for cooperative road building during the next three years. The Federal part of this fund is assured by an extra appropriation of 5209,000.000 In the Post Office appropriation bill Just passed by Congress and signed by the Presiednt. Officials of the Bureau of Tublic Roads, U. S. Department of Agricul ture.

which administers the provisions of the Federal Aid Road Act and cooperates with the State governments in the expenditure of the money, point out that this amount of fund3 is the In rarest ever appropriated for similar purposes and for a similar period by any government In the history of the world, and that it enables the Federal and State governments to carry out a 'road-building program of a magnitude never equaled. In connection with the great Federal-aid program it is also noted that expenditures for highway work in the United States this year are likely to be half billion dollars or more. On reports received from State highway departments, the Bureau of Public Aid Roada estimates expenditures for roads and bridges at or $110,000,00 more than the average expenditures for 1916 and 1917. An important effect of the law containing the new appropriation is that I broadens the definition of a rural post road, under which class a highway had to qualify in order to receive the benefits of the Federal aid act Under the old act it was required that mail should actually be carried on the road or that there should be a reasonable proepect that mail would be carried on It within a short time after improvment. The new act says: the term Vural post roads' shall be construed to mean any public road, a major portion of which is now used or can be used, or forms a connecting link not to exceed 10 miles in length of any road or roads now or hereafter for the transportation of the United States mails excluding every street and road in a place having a population, as shown by the latest available Federal consus, of 2,500 or more, except that portion of any such street or road along which the houses average more than 200 feet apart." Government Limit Raised.

The new act also raises the Government limit of contribution from not to exceed $10,000 a mile to not to exceed $20,000 a mile, taking account higher present costs of labor and materials. The law also authorizes the Secre tary of War to transfer to the Secre tary of Agriculture material, equipment and supplies suitable for highway improvement and not needed by the Wer Department, Of the $209,000,000 added to the funds available under the Federal Aid Road Act, the new law makes $9,000,000 available for expenditure by the Secretary of Agriculture for roads and trolls within or partly within the national forests. It also provides other measures which are expected to give great Impetus to the development of the road systems in national forests. The orginal Federal Aid Road Act, which became law in July, 1916, appropriated $75,600,000 to aid in the construction of post roads during a five-year period ending June 30, 1921, and $10,000,000 to aid in farest-road building during a ten-year period ending June 30, 1928. Not over $3,000,000 of the original $85,000,000 had been expended prior to 119, so that or a total og $291,000,000 cf Federal funds, will be aailable, of which $287,000,000 will be available during the next three years.

MAYOR J. H.

JACKSON. "With women who voted in the city yesterday numbering 1.107, Burlington had the largest number of votes cast at any election in Its history.

Mayor Jackson ran far ahead of his ticket in the second ward and also in the sixth.

Dolan, the present Incumbent in the sixth ward, by 117 votes; Edward Hanbridge, who was elected In the fifth ward with no opposition and Dr. C. H. Beecher, who was elected in the second ward over his democratic opponent, Robert Cannon, by a vote of 601 to 257. Frank J.

Dwyer was returned from the fourth ward with 453 votes against 194 for Frank 11 Morgan, the republican nominee. Charles L. Woodbury and Charles Caisse were returned in wards one and three, respectively, with no opposition In the sixth ward In the election of inspetcors of election as only two from the same party can serve, a democrat, J. W. O'Neil, will serve instead of one of the republicans.
