RATES PUSHING Up AGAIN
Western Railroads Make Minimum
Third Glass on Hundred.
NEW RULE SURPRISES SHIPPERS
just as Things Were "LOVeIy" An
other shock Comes Out of Clear
h Making Freight on Small
Shipments Soar.

Minimum freight rat s have made another
attempt to follow the price of meat, coal,
ice and other 'luNuries.' The Commercial
club Friday received notice that the West
ern Trunk lines had promulgated a new
rule on the handling of small shipments.
In the future all small shipments of 100
pounds or less will take a rate equal to
the third class freight rate on one hundred
pounds.
To illustrate tie increase in discussing the
NV rule at a meeting Of the tIansporta-
ton committee, the rate on a farm imple-
ment repair from Omaha to Lander, Wyo.,
was cited. An ordinary repair Weighing
a Jew pounds can be sent to Lander for 81
cents under the old rule. Under the new
rule it will cost SLY.

For years shipping clerks and freight
handlers nave marked shipments and ad-
dressed valuable articles with an unsys-
tematic code Of shorthand, which would
be laughed at by d Digger Indian or Egyp-
tan mummy, and the wonder is that the
country merchants have ever received half
OF their goods shipped, Not even firm

swastikas, sun bursts and secret society
emblems. Then the billing clerk passed by
the boxes and made similar signs on the
"way-bill." The freight crew looked at the
artists work on the box and then at the
Imitation drawing on the way bill. II they
looked anything alike, the boxes belonged
to the firms whose initials appeared on
the way bill.
The new rule requires that fun names be
painted by the artists or. at least, initials
be used.

man company, few years ago. These
stores include practically all of the good
tobacco locations in the Gate City.
Mr.. Burnett will continue to reside in
Birmingham and will run the Atlanta
business in connection with the local con-
Germ, instructions being sent from Bir-
mingham to Atlanta. The r. d. Bur-
nett Cigar company operates a large
wholesale house here and a large number
of retail stores. The wholesale depart
ment only recently moved into new quar-
tiers in the old Mecca saloon stand on
First avenue.
This purchase is the second large deal
with which Mr.. Burnett has been con-
nected during the past month, having
purchased East Lake park a few weeks
ago. He has announced his intention Of
spending a large sum of money on this
park and will make vertable fairy
land out of it. Mr.. Burnett in addi-
ton to his tobacco business is also con-
nected with a number of other interests
here. He is also a member of the City

THOUGHT OF
The Late William Hagerman Who
Died Recently at His Home
in WayIand, Mo.

The late William Hagerman who
died at Wayland on October 20 and
was buried last Saturday in the Fra
zee cemetery, was man who had
the respect of all who knew him.
His life had been a we'll spent one
and he was one of the oldest of the
old settlers of this section of the coun-
try, having lived at Wayland since
1854 and in the same house. When
he came to Missouri from Ohio he
rented a small tract of land and liv-
ed upon it, until he owned it together
with much adjoining land. When he
passed away he was one of the wealth
lest land owners of that section and
had built up his holdings by honest
labor and thrift.
Born in Cayuga county, Ohio, on
December 16, 1894, he came west in
1854 and had been a resident of Way
land all of that time, being one OF
the oldest pioneers of that locality.
He was married on July %, 1860, to
