A Farmer Cured of Rheumatism
"A man living on a farm near here came in a short time ago completely dubled up with rheumatism. I handed him a bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment and told him to use it freely," says C. P. Raader, Patten Mills, N. Y. "A few days later he walked into the store as straight as a string and handed me a dollar saying, "give me another bottle of Chamberlain's Liniment; I want it in the house all the time for it cured me." With the present freight rates, the farmers of the Inter-Mountain country cannot produce the standard crops and ship to the market and receive enough to pay the freight charges and cost of production, and what is true of the farming industry is true of any other producing industry in the State of Idaho. The increase of freight rates costs wheat growers of this State $4,635,000 and the stock raising and miscellaneous farm products approximately $6,500,000. In other words, there is more than ten millions increase of rate on farm products alone. Senator Gooding recently said "Idaho is caught between two extremes. The shippers of this State pay a higher freight rate on its products shipped East than do other States to the West with longer haul, but on incoming freight that we receive we also pay a higher rate on a shorter haul, then these same states. There should be mass meetings of protest, and every possible step should be taken to have the rates reduced.
