On Wednesday evening, Noy. Goth,
in response to cleverly rhymed invita-
tions issued by Mesdames Nichols,
Christensen and Born, there assembled
at the home of the latter about sixteen
guests, each armed with an imple-
ment of kitchen warfare, and there
took place very jolly event in the
form Of kitchen shower in honor of
Miss Maybell Tyrrell, who, on Dec.
4th, will be married to Mr.. Arthur A.
Campbell of Jamestown. Part of the
evening was spent in writing funny
love stories whose principal events
must all begin with the letters A. C.
or M. T., after which each guest was
given huge stick of white gum with
instructions to chew it and model from
it a camel. A funny menagerie re-
suited. and the prize, can of Camp
BELLS soup, fell to Miss Maybell her.

After most delicious luncheon the
guests again assembled in the living
room, where in the middle of the floor
had mysteriously gathered large pile
of most interesting looking parcels, be-
fore which Miss Maybell was obliged to
seat herself, Indian fashion, and pro-
ceed to remove the wrappings. Many
were the laughs that followed the read

jingles which accompanied the thought

guest of honor was nearly lost in sea

ton was Changed by In
terstate Commission.

Washington. April lathe inter-
state commerce commission today
held there was no substantial reason
why mohair should be required to pay
higher rate than wool. 1t was sug-
gested that the railways readjust their
rates on mohair in conformity with
the freight rates on wool which were
materially reduced in the order is
sued yesterday.
The opinion was handed down by
Chairman Prouty. 1t holds that the
present rate Of $1.15 per hundred
pounds Of wool in sacks from Colo
RADIO common points to st. Louis
should not exceed 80 cents. and that
from points west of Cheyenne. Wyo.,
on the Union Pacific, and Trinidad
Louis might be two cents higher for
each additional twenty-five miles. On
the Denver & Rio Grande n rate of 80
cents is authorized from the first sta
ton west Of Pueblo, Colo. with a
similar two-cent increase from points
further west.
Concerning the rates to be applied
on through shipments from western
points to Boston and New York
Chairman Prouty declared they should
be constructed by adding to the rates
prescribed to st. Louis. in case OF
sacked wool Sc cents to Boston. and
4S cents to New York: in case of bal
ed wool ~ cents to Boston and 4a
cents to New York.
In the judgment of the commission
transit privileges should be allowed
at intermediate points on a direct line
by payment of 1-2 cents a hundred
pounds, but only on condition that the
wool shipments originated west Of the
Mississippi.
In certain specific instances the
commission permits the carriers to
exact higher rate for a shorter than
for longer haul.
