The most annoying undercharges
are for additional icing switching or
demurrage. legitimate charges which
may have accrued hut on which we
have no denfiite check without detailed
investigation. On the other hand, it
seems to be if carriers records were
properly kept. all Of these charges could
and should be collected at time of de-
livery and not several months, or in
some instances two or three years after
shipment has been delivered. SRss---'
,1"The majority of these freight bills
are from roads with no auditing office
in or anywhere near Portland. The
only course open is to settle with the
grower subject to the ultimate adjust
ment of the Overcharge or undercharge
found, which may take many months
to accomplish. causing US endless
trouble, labor and expense, from which
we should rightfully be spared.
k'During the season of 1923, we
shipped 1875 carloads of fruit. Of
the freight bills received therefor,
about 76.were undercharged, approxi-
mately $1,000 and 300 were overcharged
pproximately S5093 Ia This is an al
together unreasonable percentage of
errors. 1t indicates gross carelessness,
weakness and inetIiciency Din system.
We shipped all over the United States.
This condition does not hold against
any single or several railroads, but
seems to prevail everywhere.
h"The Interstate Commerce law is
clear and explicit on this subject. 1t
is illegal to overcharge or undercharge
An occasional error can be expected
and overlooked, but a persistently con
tlnuOus series of endless errors is
neither lawful nor eXcusable.
1T is our understanding that your
Association has as one object the per
fecting of railway accounting. Is not
this field for your best endeavors?
Is there any actual necessity for this
enormous amount of incorrect assess
ment of freight charges? Our expert
ence must be that of all other business
concerns. Are the men employed by
railroads to render freight bills so
wholly incompetent, Indifferent and in
subordinate that it is byeond their
power to rectify this abuse of the bust
ness public? If the Northwestern Fruit
Exchange were to make even a few
mistakes in accounting with the parties
with whom they deal, it would bring
them severe censure. and if we made
anywhere near the number of mistakes
that occur on freight bills, it would
put us out of business.
1--WE are curious to know if this de
feet in American railway accounting is
receiving your consideration, and your
efforts for a remedy.

GEM PROGRAM TODAY

The second installment of "The Trey
TO- Hearts, white Water" Shows
Alan alone in the woods, lacking food
and all equipment. Judith has mean
while gone to her camp and sent one of
her guides to track Alaon. Feeling
himself followed Alan gets more and
more nervous. Finally he slips over
the side Of a cliff and falls into the
water. Judith fishing with the second
Indian guide, rescues the young man
and has him taken to her cabin. Rose
meanwhile, has received note asking
her to visit Alan's lawyer. She finds
that Alan is overdue and the lawyer is
worried Trine's spy, Marophat, tells
him of the note, and he accuses Rose
of disloyalty. When he starts to ring
for a servant to confine her, she pushes
the helpless man away, rummages
through the desk until she finds the
papers acknowledging Trine's treach-
cry toward Alan, and Judith's plan to
kill him at Spirit Lake. Rose immedi
ately starts for the north, despite her
fathers angry protests. Alan has been
deep in the ravages of fever, and Ju-
dith has nursed him with an awakening
the guides to a nearby village for qui-
nine. He proceeds to get drunk, and
the next morning she goes after him,
cutting the rose on the bush outside
and leaving it near Alan's bed. He
awakes, finds himself alone and gets
up weakly. judith and her guide pass
Rose and the trapper unkowingly.
When Rose arrives at the cabin Alan
thanks the mystified girl for nursing
him. Rose has left the trapper to warn
her of 'Judith's approach. He does,
and she persuades Alan to launch
canoe and go away with her. They
push off as Judith and her guide run
into the clearing. Alan is almost sue
cessfu in threading the white water
when his paddle breaks, and he and
Rose are dumped out They make the
shore in safety, and Judith is about to
shoot him when something stops her.
Slowly, her face buried in her hands,
she drifts out of sight. Rose, with her
quick woman's intuition, guesses that
Judith has commenced to love Alan.
Together the two start toward civiliza-
tlon, leaving Judith alone with the
guides.

A COST SYSTEM
FOR THE GROWER

How many apple growers in the val
ley know the cost of producing their
crops? How many keep any form of
hooks? Does the orchardist know
whether he is making any money or
not? In order to cut the cost of pro.
duction the grower should know upon
what items of work his funds are being
expended
The Glacier has recently had calls
for blanks by the use of which the
grower can conveniently and method
icalIy keep record of his labor and its
cost. BeXell 4 Nichol, in their sys-
tens of accounting and farm bookkeep-
ing have given the most desireable
forms. A quantity Of these blanks
have been printed at the Glacier office,
and may be obtained by growers. 1t
is probable that some nrhardst has de-
viSed a scheme that will be more eco
nomical of the time of the orchardst
or rancher who desires to keep a good
set of books. If so, the Glacier would
be glad to hear from him and secure
his suggestions. The columns Of the
paper are open for short comnunica.

A correspondent of the Oreognian
recently discussing the fact that Joe
Knowles, the nature man, was unable
to shave duringshis 30 days in the wilds

He.might have adopted the American

PEELED his squaw to pull it off, incident

his wife good beating.
But, for Joe, this mehtod might have
failed, there being no party of the sec

relief from his overweight feelings.

Now perhaps the hats OF the present
mode are not freakish and eXaggerat1
ed: and, for the matter OF tnat' theirl
origin is not humble. But there are.
always those of US who find the pre-

This is why men remove their mats.
when talking with women. For the.
moment, they remove their symbol or
independence and so show that they
are at the service of the women with
whom thy talk. For the same reason
they remove their hats in churches
and in the presence of persons OF state
to show that, for the time being
they submit their personality to the
pleasure OF the power that is higher
than they are.
OF course. the reason why women
wear their hats in the same situations
is another story. But perhaps women
are sure enough of their superiority

not to need it symbolized
In Rome the slave was bareheaded.
When he became a freeman he re-

ages since then has gone through
much use as a symbol of revolt and
freedom.

PROTECTOR FOR THE APRON
Useful Little Adjunct That VIII Do
Away With Good Deal of
Laundry Work.

When one is washing dishes the wa
ter Is apt to splash upon the nicely
starched and Numbered apron that we
have put on, perhaps, but short
while ago. 1t is much easier to wash
and iron a little tea-towel protector
than to launder large bingham apron,
and the towel protector is easily made.
Take piece Of toweling about three
quarters Of yard long and sew tape
strings to each of the corners of one
Of its narrow ends When doing the
dishes, slip this on over the regular
kitchen apron. 1t may be doubled, if
preferred, but the one thickness is
usually sufficient When the towel
apron becomes soiled it can be washed
out with the other tea towels and
either Strengthened out we'll before
drying and left to dry, so that it will
look at least partially ironed, or rubbed
off with an iron. AS no starch is re-
quired in the towel-apron, 1t is quite a
simple matter to do the apron up.
Some housewives use a piece Of
stocking in this fashion, or pieces Of
white oilcloth, but the towel is neatest
of the three. An extra long piece of
towel can be used and the upper part
Of 1t acts as a bib. Attach the tapes
at the waist line for tying behind the
back, and put long loop, made of
three-quarters of yard of tape. at the
upper end, to slip about the neck and
hold up the bib.
