VITAL TO FARGO.

The express rate hearing which will
be held at Grand Forks May 8 by the
state railroad commission is Of the ut
most Importance to shippers of the
state and especially to Fargo shippers.
It will affect a large number of ship
uers Of heavy packages by express,
and it is essential to their we'll being
that sucn be represented al that time.
When the new rates were decided
upon nv the commission last January
II was impossible to CLEAN from either
shippers or the express companies an
idea of the effect Of the new rates on
various commodities. and in view of
this fact the commission promised to
''iron out" such Inequalities or dis
examinations as might be shown by the
use of the new tariffs. and thus it has
come about that the new hearing is
called bv the commission which sin
cerely desires that all shippers exam
went into effect last Monday, and if
any injustice is discovered that it be
brought to the attention Of the board.
either before or at the hearing.
The state commissions rates which
have only just been made effective.
make a minimum per hundred-pound
shipment of So, 60. 65 and 10 cents per
hundred, as against u fiat 70-cent rate
of the interstate commerce commits
sion. In other words. this is a materi-
al reduction over the national rate per
Hundred for the first three sub-blocks,
obtaining the national rate on the
fourth sub-block. 1t is believed by the
board that a consideration Of its rates
by shippers will demonstrate a less
serious condition than obtained under
the rates heretofore in force since
March l. Still there are several mat
ters in relation to the express rates
which are not satisfactory, and which
the commission is anxious to adjust.
Fargo's situation in the block system
makes it imperative she should be well
represented.

Dr.. HilIis's New Book.

Today the four Gospels compose
what is easily the most popular book
in the world, outselling all poems,
novels and tales Of adventures. NO
one knows from whence came this
greatest Of creations. Scholars, how
ever, are agreed that Matthew, Mark
and Luke had q common source that
has been destroyed just as the sculp-
tors Phidias and Praxiteles went to
the same quarry seeking marble LOT
their statutes. Critics call this un-
known source 90" the original Gospel,
lost perhaps in the destruction of the
library at Alexandria In 656. For
MANY years Newell Dwight Hills has
been studying old rolls and manu-
scripts in the light Of recent dis.
coveries in the far east out or
this has grown his new and fascinating
work, The Story Of Phaedrus, which
brings, according to one OF the best
experts among the excavators In
Egypt, the Memorabilia OF Jesus down
to date.
What DR.. Hills really tells Is the
| story Of @ from which the three bio
graphers Of Jesus obtained their facts.

bow who. in an hour Of need, steals a
gold cup, a. papyrus roll and a piece or

From The Forum Book Shelf
THEY'VE GIVEN PA A RAISE.

Say YOU ought to hear mi sngin'-shes as happy d s a lark,
And her smile stays n from mornin' til a long time after dark;
She's been buyin' rugs and gettn' a new costly switch to wear,
And she takes a cab whenever she goes calm anywhere;
She has bought herself a dimund. n you ought to lei it blaze;
Mas a cheerful IS a robin-they have given pa a raise.
Sisters busy getun, dresses thatn cost an awful pile,
And the hats that she's been buyin' are the very latest style;
She's to % abroad this summer with some people named the Cooks;
Is she happy? Well, I guess so! You a e it by her looks.
She goes hummin' songs and dancin' and in forty thousand ways
Lets us know that she is cheerful since they've given la a raise.
Pa still works the "a a S ever. And he's smokin' stogfes yet;
Wears the suit he got last summer, and 1 guess he's still in debt;
Anyhow he starts off early and comes home tagged out at night,
And his foreheads gettn' wrnkled and his hair is turnin' white;
Can't, somehow, help feeln' sorry as sit and watch him gaze
With a vacant look at nothn. Yes, they've given pa a raise.
