Hot Ice Cream New Dainty for the

to know of all the new things almost
before they come into existence.
1t sounds piquant,' said her con-
paniOn, dryly.
We'll, it is, and something more.
1t is served in one OF the tea-and'

are iron lanterns, instead of electric
globes, and the maids wear linen

And the hot ice cream
I'm coming to that 1t is really
frozen pudding. 1t is made Of vanilla
ice cream with boiled rice and ginger
mixed with it and all frozen together.

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case of the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadlcy of Yale University in his book
on Railroad Transportation. Is the case
of the ArOCStOOk potato growers
brought by President futile Of the
Boston and Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show
how a railroad works fer the interest
of the localities which. it serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the ArooStOOk region is the potato
crop, agg.egating annually eight to
ten million bushels, which find mar
ket largely il BCStCn and the adjacent
thichly settled regions Of New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also considerable out
put of the truck farms Of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities OF that region.
Not many years ago favOring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rOtted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unpreCedentedly low
rates on potatoes to every readable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to a place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The AroOstOOk growers had to
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose OF them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which it
did. BY means of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed. Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous to-
the railroads, had they been applied
to the movement Of all potatoes at all
times, to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in it's revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the ArOostook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which the railroads
brought to them. II the making of
rates were subject to governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is we'll established that if
a rate be once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape Of governmental proce'
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental llmi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep IN their rates as do the railroads
Of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-E han e.
