roads, acting through the refriger-
ator lines, are collecting and receiv-
| ing for the refrigeration of fruit and
vegetables lower rates from some
shippers than they are receiving con-
temporaneously for similar service
rendered to others. This is held to
be in violation of sections and of
the act to regulate Interstate COM
merce.
Another charge is that failure and
neglect to publish at shipping stations
and file with the interstate commerce
commission the rates and charges inn
posed for the refrigeration of fruits
and vegetables constitutes violation
of section of the interstate COM
merce act.
Climax Of Long Campaign
The commission alleges further that
the charges published jointly by the
refrigerator lines and the railroads
In certain specified territories are un-
reasonable and unjust and in viola
tion Of section /. The territories de-
scribed are Missouri, Arkansas, Indian
lcIIltOIy, lcAdS, OdliIOTuld, u east
ern points, Louisiana and Kansas,
and Georgia. South Carolina, and
North Carolina to New York.
Complaints against the private car
lines extend over the entire life of
the first act to regulate interstate
commerce and all acts amendatory
thereto. Hearings have been had in
various sections of the country and
not infrequently have changes in the
schedules been made for the an
nounced purpose of remedying al
legged abuses.
Combinations of railroads and pTi-
vate car lines have prevented any
wholesale regulation of these rates.
Charges of discrimination against
small shippers have poured in on the
commission for a number of years.

STARTS AN INQUIRY
FORMAL CHARGES AGAINST PRl.
vATE REFRIGERATOR LINES
Interstate Commerce Commission
Alleges Discrimination and illegal
coIIusion in Complaint Filed at
Washington

Washington, d. c., Aug. 2O.-The
interstate commerce commission on
its own initiative and as result OF
complaints against the private car
system, charging violations of law,
has unexpectedly begun an investi-
cation OF the relations between rail-
roads and refrigerator lines.
The complaint set forth by the COM
mission is directed against the Ar
mour car line, the American Refrig-
orator transportation company, the
Santa Fe Refrigerator Dispatch, and
the following railroads: st. Louis and
San Francisco; Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe; st. Louis Iron Mountain
and Southern; Central of Georgia;
Southern; Atlantic Coast line; Sea.
board Air line; Pennsylvania South
ern Pacific; and Kansas City South
ern.
The railroads and refrigerator lines
are made respondents in proceedings
which require that specific answer to
all allegations be made to the inter-
state commerce commission by Sep
tember 5.
Charge Rate Discrimination

bates or other devices the refrigerator
lines are acting for the railroads

pers leasing by the year large num-
bers of private cars.
The action taken by the interstate
commerce commission now indicates
belief that certain cases set forth
IN the proceedings can be reached
under the present laws. The pro-
ceedings are looked upon as a test
and it is declared they will prove of
|iEestimable value in informing con-
gress what new laws are needed for
national control Of private car lines.
Inquiry Will Reveal Evils
Railroad traffic men did not appear
to be greatly surprised when they
learned that the interstate commerce
commission had started an investiga-
tion OF the relations between rail-
roads and refrigerator lines. They
were chary about discussing the mat
ter, as they are parties to the in
vestigation, but one traffic official
said:
"The private car lines have only
themselves to thank for this investi-
cation. Not only have they been
growing more highhanded in their
methods during the last five years,
but they have gone out of their way
to defy the authority of the inter-
state commerce commission to con-
troll them At the Chicago hearing
the attorney for the Armour lines
made the plain statement that he
did not consider that the interstate
commerce commission had any juris-
diction over his lines and could not
declare their rates unfair. The COM
were not of his opinion and
the investigation which they have
now started will bring the question
squarely at issue"
Private Lines Give Rebates
H. J. Streyckmans, former en-
ploye of the Armour car lines, testi- |
fled at the hearing before the COM
last May that the company
made a practice of charging for ice
which was not put into the cars, and
also charged about three times as
much for icing as it cost The wit
ness testified also that the Armour
lines gave rebates to certain shippers
and that agreements existed between
the Armour lines and some of the
western and eastern roads which |
made it particularly advantageous to
the Armour lines to route shipments
over these lines.

Cheaper Food For Hogs.

The price Of corn IS d little high.
and many farmers who have a good
bunch Of logs on hand are doing some
hard thinking ana close figuring. Those
who have kept their hogs yarded all
summer ; have fed them a good
deal Of com are thinking they are go
ing to cone out at the little end Of the
horn. Those who have raised their
hogs on clover pasture are feeling bet
ter and can see some profit in finishing
them up in the best manner even with
corn close around 80 cents. The only
man I know who can see any profit
in his yard raised pigs is one who has
been feeding them rape and sweet corn
all summer, and he counted the cutting
and drawing of the feed merely one Of
his chores. 1t is gradually being fore
ed into the mind Of the farmer who
farms at random that the only way to
make hog raising profitable is to car
n them through the summer on green
food largely and that the cheapest and
best green food IS clover.-Fred Grun-

Women Healthier Than Men.

Since more boys than girls are born
in the countries Of western Europe, tn.
proportion being 10+0 to 1850 boys &c
every loo girls. how can we accom-:
for the fact that there are more womeu
than men in these countries: To this
question ". lie Yarigny, French sci
enlist. replies 1T length in a leading
Paris paper. Since there are more
women. although more men are born"
he says, we must conclude that more
men die than women because they are
not as healthy. There is no other so
luton. and. moreover. all the obtaina-
bic facts point in the same direction.
More boys are born than girls. yet
there are almost always more girls
alive than boys. Many persons think
that the principal reason why more
men die than women is because they
lead Incorporate lives; but. though
there may be some truth in this. il can
not be the sole solution Of the prob
lem. as the mortality among males is
greatest during their early years, be-
fore they know what vice or intemper-
ance means"

The popcorn season IS with Us, but
how many people know why corn
pops? An explanation Of the popping
Of corn furnished by a man Of science
Is that the great enlargement Of the
kernel and change In form and texture
are caused By an expansion Of moisture
In the starch cells Each individual
cell is a miniature sealed bomb. the
walls Of which are sufficiently dense
TO retain the moisture until it has been
converted into steam under pressure
When old and dry corn was soaked
for twelve hours and then dried for an
equal time it did not pop well. II ker-
nels were allowed to dry for twenty
four hours longer the resulting kernels
Of popped corn were found not only TO
be very large. light and haky. but had
absolutely no suggestion Of toughness
