The old freight rate Of IS cents pei

The old freight rate of IS cents per
100 lbs. on butter and eggs from Chi
cago to New York was restored Mon
day. This will terminate for a while
the war on freight rates which has
been waged so strongly Of late, but
there is considerable complaint over
the IS cent rate. The prevailing
opinion in New York is that SO cents
would be more satisfactory to every
one, and would probably result in a
more lasting agreement between the
roads. The IS cent rate is robbery
and every creameryman and producer
in the west suffers by it.

Methusaleh lived long ago. The class

The war scare along the Atlantic
coast will be certain to interfere
greatly with pleasure travel to Europe
and pr0bab also with the patronage
of seaside resorts. This will work no
serious harm. So far as the war scare

of it, and so far as scenery and health
are concerned, pleasure seekers are
