WANT RATES ON HAY LOWERED criminatory Rales ... Avon Burk, of the Burk ElevntJ Company, and several others I in section are urging thoart who " Ml lv and honestly desire to uld L fanners of this part of the state " . Pl hack of the movement re-inaug-(l by the Northeastern Indiana nTnealers Association in their ses«on at Fort Wayne, to have the Int r-f.te* Commerce Commission take Jo nm immediate action which will reL o ve the present discriminatory ratM on hay m central freight terrltory a , compared with rates in the MStPrn states. They urge interested persons to write their congressman and senators and to Governor Jackson asking their cooperation to secure the change in freight rates. From i’tica. N. ¥., to Albany, Ga., 12ti3 miles, the present rate is $10.50 per ton for hay. while from here to Albany. Ga.. 813 miles, the rate is $13.40 per ton. In other words, though the distance is 388 miles less, the rate is $2.90 more per ton. It will be readily seen how this rate affects the hay dealer in this section an d how it must rebound as against the farmer. Queer as it may seem, the Interstate Commerce Commission decided in July, 1925, to change these rates so they would be fair, but have so far refused to do so. Consequently. at the recent meeting of the hay dealers of this section, a resolution was adopted, stating that they desire facts and not promises, that they believe the publication of these rates are being delayed unreasonably, that it is manifestly unfair for the Canadian producers of hay to be privileged to dispose of their crops at the expense of our domestic producers. and that every member do his utmost to secure the new’ rates. The rate from here to Albany, Ga., at present is 67c per hundred and the new rate asked is 45c, making a big difference to everyone concerned. The hay dealers of this county will appreciate the cooperation of every farmer and urge them to aid in securing this benefit which after all is theirs. o . - .

front progressive paralysis of the spine An attendant took him for his bath, found the tub empty and turned on the hot water faucet. Just then another patient called the attendant, who returned half an hour later to find the ex-policeman boiling to death in a tub of steamy water. The lunatic resisted strongly when the attendant tried to drag him from the tub. Physicians sail! the man’s disease had destroyed his power of I feeling and that presumably the steaming water facinated him. The patient died a few- hours after being taken from the boiling bath-tub. o Fort Wayne Youth Is Honored At Northwestern Evanston, 111., May 16—An imitation matrix in golfl has been presented to Elmen D.

“Real Stuff" Imported To London From U. S. London (United Press) — One of England’s most interesting alcoholic exhibit is three-quarters of a bottle I of “the real Rootleg stuff" from New Y ork. The “’Hootch” was imported recently by a wine connoisseur upon his return from New York. He has allowed a few of his intimate friends to sip samples. For fear of being accused of trying to poison his friends and to preserve as much of the liquid as possible as a curiosity, the friends have been limited to a very small amount on the tip of a spoon.
