axiom that ought to be i'm
pressed upon every member
Of the family going on a

her children at school, and
children should be required
to telephone home occas-

telephone itinerary should be
iotted down and left behind.
Members of the family

REDUCTION IN EXPRESS RATES


Averaging in general approx
mately Is per cent, a slashing re-
duction in express rates in the
United States has been prescribed
by the interstate commerce commits
sion in its report just made public.
Drastic reforms in regulations and
practices and comparative changes
in operation are also provided for.
The report is the result of an in
vestigation lasting for over three
years. The report finds that while
the 13 companies operating in the
nation are separate concerns, all are
closely related and interviewer
through the stocks and bonds, until
the whole business is almost a
family affair" The express bust
ness Of the nation is controlled by
three groups of interests, the report
states.
The greatest reduction of rates
proposed is on small packages-that
is, on parcels which weigh less than
II pounds. Rates on packages of
more than II pounds were found to
be more reasonable than those on
smaller parcels.
Briefly stated, the new rates may
be said to be based upon a mini

A very curious accident occurred
last week on the w G.. Bell lake
seven miles northeast of Jerome,
when a boating party rowed too
close to the big headgate which di-
vides the water into the main canal
and coulee. The suction at this
point was so strong that the boat
was capsized, and the entire party
went through the head gate, a dis
lance of about ten rods. The swift
current carried them into the rocky
coulee, but aside from some very
bad bruises they escaped without
serious injury.
