The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has just handled the first case in
which it assumes the perogative
granted it by the new rate law OF
controlling the express companies. Ex-
press charges In the United States
are n Of the most enerous exactions
under which the people suffer. Here
tofore there has been no way OF
reaching them legally for they were
not affected by any law and could
charge what they pleased. The present
case is not far reaching. 1t deals only
with the case of cut flowers sent
from the surrounding country to New
York City. The express company
without warning and without i'm
proving the service, doubled the Ia
riff. When brought to book for their
action, their defense was remarkable.
They explained that under their con-
tract with the railroads, they had to
pay the railroad company IS per cent
OF their gross receipts. They wanted
more for the flower service than they
had been getting, but they had to
raise the tariff more than they other
wise would because 50 much Ct the
increase went to the railroads. 1t is
TO be noted with some satisfaction
that they were compelled to promptly
put the tariff back at what it was be-
\ fore the raise.

seventh Of the kalends OF May In the

About Cork Legs.

"a cork leg?p said a New York
dealer. "Why, man, a cork leg would
crumble under you like a leg OF bread.
You don't wanta cork leg, but an elm
or willow one. A leg was never
made OF cork since the worlds be-
ginning. But many people think as
you do, and I'll tell you how the fal-
LACY originated. The inventor OF the
modern artificial leg-the leg instead
OF the stick-was John Cork. Oork's
legs, or cork legs, were famous around
1910. And whenever a man makes
your mistake he pays an unconscious
tribute to Cork's skill"

uncle SANS Poultry Industry.
From "Arc' Advertising.

From Are Aufettislnk..
When your Uncle Samuel goes into
business of any kind you may be r
that he will do 1t on an enormous scale
he has half the railroads Of the world.
He mines nearly as much coal as all
the nations Of the earth combined.
His iron and steel lead the world.
England and Japan watch bis cotton
fields. When his wheat crops are poor
famine raises Its head abroad.
1t is not surprising, then, that his
chicken industry assumes tremendous
proportions. His ROSTERS greet the
rising sun In continued chorus across
the continent. His hens by the hun
dreds of millions cackle their triumph
every day over rich treasures
Five hundred million dollars Of
wealth In a single year from the ma
tions poultry More than 60 eggs pro-
duced every second Of the "a hours
for 385 days In the year. Chicken din
ner once a week for every family OF
the nation!
But to get down to cold facts about
chicken. What is the American hen
worth? How much will she produce
in the course Of a yearg How much
does she id etc the natlons yearly in
come? The answers of these questions
involve numerous difficulties. The
Observation-Disclosures to gives theu
facts once In 10 years. But he never
gives us all the facts and twice
In the same manner. And the latest
news is six years old.
In these six years the hens have
keep a layin' right along" the incu-
bators, natural and artificial, have
been working night and day, little
chickens have been growing into
"Henhood," until the enormous fig
ures OF six years ago are vastly aug
mented. The census man did not find
all the chickens. He made returns
from over 5000, 900 farms, but said not
a word about the mulititudes OF hen
yards that decorate every village and
even city community. He did not
! even try to include the chickens and
eggs eaten on the farmers own tables,
but even then he shows returns, that
eggs to the value OF s265, 0OO, 600 were
raised and sold or eaten last year, and
poultry was disposed OF to the value
OF 1926, 800, 900. This makes a grand
total OF over $500, 100000.
Mere figures though they sound big,
are difficult TO appreciate. Think
what half a billion dollars produced
|, by the poultry last year would do. II
would buy two pairs Of %. 90 shoes fol
every man, woman and child OF our
great nation. 1t would build two
Panama canals. 1t would buy out
the Pennsylvania railroad system
with Its ten thousand miles Of track
through the richest section Of our
nation. 1t would, In two years wipe
) out our national debt. 1t would add
a hundred battle ships to u navy
every year. 1t would pay for all the
public schools of the nation for two
years. or 1t would give two million
boys and girls a college education,
paying all their expenses.
The number OF eggs produced last
J year was probably not less than l,977,-
0OO, 900 dozen-nearly two thousand
million DOZEN Placed end to end
those eggs would make a belt thirty
, four eggs wide, around the earth at
, the equator. This seems like an
enormous egg supply, but 1t means
only 2s0 eggs a year, or only three
quarters OF one egg a day for each in
dividual Of the nation.

COMMITTEE REroRT On The OLD
CEMETERY.
The County Court will have the Old
Burying Ground cleaned up at once.
We agree to recommend, that the city
set aside about one block, or enough
ground, to take care of every one that
will be moved from the burying
ground, in case the city agrees to the
proposition, then at the next meeting
Of the County Court they will make
an order requesting every one who has
relatives or friends buried there To re-
move them TO the City Cemetery into
this Block TO set aside for this purpose
or in some private II any prefer, this
block TO be well located, and well
suited for this purpose and properly
improved aud taken care OF and known
as the Old Cemetery Block.
We believe this is the proper solu-
tion Of this question, the old burying
ground has been abandoned, and the
time is now at hand to do something
to preserve the memory OF the many
worthy people, who are buried there.
After the Old Burying Gronnd has
been cleaned up and the bodies so far
as practicable have been removed in
to the block set aside in the City
Cemetery, then in consideration OF
the asssstadce aud ground donated
for this purpose by the City OF Mexico,
the County viii donate the Old Bury
ing Ground to the City of Mexico, for
the purpose and use as a public park,

City assumes all the expense Of i'm
