Two records have been made in
two days at the bowling alleys. One
that was mentioned in yesterdays is
sue of the World and another one last
night, when the same record breaker
Eddie Cramblette, got ten straight
mines in ten point game. That is
going some anywhere, and old timers
say that they never heard of that
record being made before.
AS result of the fine playing be
ing done nightly at the Ardron & Sor
alleys the interest in bowling is ris-
ing to a high pitch.
Cap Usher did some high class
bowling, too, and won the daily prize
on a score of 248.
In the league game the Maxwells
scored 743, TIT and 100, thereby
winning three straight games from
the Clerks, whose scores were TOP
CSC and $50. Franklin was high
man in the games, scoring EOS, also
coming out ahead on total pins.
The Maxwells and Packers are
again tied for first place.
On Thursday night the league game
will be between the Republics and
Packers, followed on Friday night by
the Tigers and Electrics.

MILLINERS FIGHT 10 FORCE EN-
PRESS COMPANIES TO TRANS
PORT FEMININE HEADGEAR
THAT COVERS AN ACRE, MORE
OR LESS.

Vindication of big hats and the
divine right of women to wear them
is being sought before the interstate
commerce commission.
Led by Commissioner James S.
Harlan. the commission has officially
taken up the cause of the women and
is out to reduce the express rates on
big hats. And not only that, but it
is Investigating the rule Of those
companies which bar hats over a
certain size approximately an acre
and half, and the result may be
that those dear, delightful, exquisite
creations which only cover five city
blocks can be expressed at will, even
though the express company will
have to requisition flat cars to trans
port them.
The whole matter was brought to
light yesterday when attorneys for
the Millinery Jobbers' association
appeared before Commissioner Har-
Ian in the federal building and filed
complaint against seven express
companies.
These charges state that soon af-
ter the advent of the big hats the
express rates on women's headgear
began to rise, till now they are al
most double what they were in 1906.
and are most unjust. New provisions
were made as to the minimum
| weight, and as result milliners are
often compelled to pay for more tom
mage than they ship.
Another ruling made by the ex-
press companies about the time those
hats began to arrive from Paris, and
against which a protest was regis
tered yesterday, was one restricting
the size of hat boxes to 10 inches
outside measurement. Telephone
queries last night confirmed the
statement that If hat box is four
teen inches high and measures more
than four feet each way the express
companies will refuse to carry it.
The association which has put the
matter up to the interstate commerce
commission is composed of sixty-five
wholesale millinehs of the Middle
West.

The latter sale, that of an orchard
in full bearing. was made recently
at Cashmere, besides other sales of
orchard tracts at prices ranging from
$500 to $500 an acre. The sales
speak volumes for the confidence
keen investors have in the future of
the apple market and the wonderful
possibilities of fruit culture in the
home of the red apple.
These orchards have been brought
to high state of perfection by all the
arts known to the apple grower.
Financial returns from such tracts
show that high interest is to be
earned even upon the large invest

The union evangelistic services now
in progress at the Christian church
are attracting an increasing attend
ance and awakening deep interest.
Last evening, as the previous eve
ming, the church was crowded ami
not a few came who were unable to
enter. Rev. Johnson's discourse on
the New Evangelism" held through
out its delivery the closest attention
of his large audience. The speaker
made it clear that the new evangel
ism is simply new and more prac-
teal interest in the same gospel pro-
mulgated by Christ and His apostles.
The same faith. repentance and ODE
dience then required is still required.
And the same hope and joy then
granted to the obedient is now given
to those who obey. The writer has
heard many expressions of apprecia-
ton of the helpfulness Of the SER
mon.
Rev. Beightol, the speaker for this
evening, will have for his subject,

Farmer Doesn't Get the Swae;; Wilson


Washington, Feb. flames Will
son, secretary of agriculture, while
he admits a great increase in the
cost of living, relieves the farmer
from blame for it. He pits the whole
responsibility for increased cost of
living up to interests who make large
profits from the handling of farm
produce after it leaves the farmers
hands.
Affects All Farm Products.
1.-The increased cost o. grain enters
into the increased cost of raising
hogs, cattle, chickens, turkeys and
all farm animals" he said. ''It does
not pay to fatten hogs and steers on
so and 70-cent corn unless the price
of meat is high. It takes high priced
grain to raise chickens that lay eggs.
1.-THE ranges for cattle and sheep
are becoming smaller and smaller
each year. This, of course, means
that more corn and hay must be fed
TO range stock"
How about wheat prices?"
"Oh, wheat has heretofore been
kept cheap in price because it was
raised on the cheap ard rich lands
of the pioneer. It was always raised
on the frontiers in bonanza fields and
by machinery. The frontier has now
retired into Canada, and the aver
age crop of wheat per acre has les
sened from year to year in this coun-
try. The farmer cannot afford to
raise spring wheat now on old land.
He has done all he could to keep the
price of his products down. He does
all his work by machinery that he
Sean.
He Tells a Story.
"A short time ago I was back on
the old place that I used to farm in
Iowa. A couple of my younger rela-
tives now run the place. I found
them doing twice the work in the hay
and grain fields by machinery, with
half of the help that it required when
I ran it.
It's a fact that New York and
the other large cities are full of un-
employed labor, but it is utterly i'm
possible to get this labor to go out

leave the city, and If they did they
would be found of very little value.
because they know 1t all and it seems
a waste of time to try to teach them
to be useful"
Too. Many Middlemen.
II say" continued the secretary,
that there are too many middle
men trying to live off the farmers
produce They crowd into the cities
and try to live by getting profit
in the handling or sale of the pro-
ducers' products. These people ought
to go on the land and raise crops.
s'The increase of prices of farm
products follows this routine: First
the farmer sells in the fall or win
ter his animals and grain, when pri-
ces are usually moderate. The rail-
way adds slice for carrying, the
commission man gets his profits.
Grain goes into the elevator and ami
mails into dressed meat-more pro-
fits.
The Elevator Man.
''The elevator man or large grain
buyer holds the grain until the price
is doomed up in. the spring or sum-
mer following, to cover carrying
charges, interest and insurance, and
give himself a big profit when the
grain goes abroad or is ground into
flour.
Flour goes by rail and through
the hands of the wholesaler and re-
tailer-more profits. Then the bak-
er gets it, when a short loaf some
times goes to the consumer at more
profits. Every movement after the
produce goes out of the farmers
hands costs more to the consumer"
