RAILROADS are
GIVEN A CHANGE
Inter Mountain Rate Sus-
pended Pending Argument
BY Roads.

Washington, July 1.-The effective
date of the Interstate commerce
commissions inter- mountain rate
orders, recently sustained by the
United States supeme court, mas
been advanced to October /, to en-
able railroads to compile and pub
lish the tariff to be put into effect.
Slight notifications of the zone
boundary lines fixed in the original
order have been made 10 make the
zones upon diagonal traffic from the
Lake Superior region to the Southern
Pacific Coast and from Galveston to
the North Pacific coast conform to
the zones already fixed in the tariffs
applicable to class rates.
At hearing early in October the
railroads will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to show that on certain arti-
Giles which take a thorough rate to
the Pacific Coast of 81 or less for
carload lots and 81 or less for less
than carloads, greater relief ought
to be granted. The carriers in terms
have agreed to abide by the con-
illusions of the commission on that
hearing by January l.
Some articles expected from the
operation of the long and short haul
provision of the law after October l
follow: Sulphate Of ammonia, chic
ride and carbide of calcium, canned
fruits, fish, corn, meats, mince
meats, tomatoes, green coffee, cotton
piece goods, hardware and tools, pig
iron, structural iron, iron fence, irol
posts, rice, radiators, sectional bull
ers, pig AMI slab tin and insulated
copper wire.
Those articles will take higher
rate to intermediate points than to
Pacific coast terminals, chiefly be-
cause of the water competition to the
Pacific coast.

THE POTTERY ART
Recent Explorations Show
That Chinese Learned the

Cairo. July Recent eXplor-
tons indicate the Chinese learned
their pottery art from the Egyptians
and show the methods by which the
early Egyptian professor discovered
the circumference of the earth.
Among the most beautiful objects
found in the ruins of Meroe, Iii the

ed "biscuit ware' The ware is as
hard and fine as the biscuit Or egg
shell ware of China and differers
from the latter only in not being
translucent. In China it has no.
been found in works older than zCo

Meroe goes back to the third or sec

ware was initiated from ostrich eggs.

HOW TO EXHIBIT
GRAINS IN SHEAF

The fairs of the state offer liberal
prizes for the best sheaves of various
varieties of wheat and oats. In addi-
ton to this, sheaf grains offer one of
the most attractive means OF decor
atilg agricultural exhibits, whether
they be farm, township or county
exhibits. The attractiveness will de-
pend upon the manner in which the
sheaves are put up.
> For general display purposes, the
sheaves should be about four inches
in diameter at the middle band. The
heads should be placed evenly and
then the butts trimmed even. They
should be wrapped near the heads,
at the middle and at the butt end.
The straw should be left as near the
natural length as is possible. 1t is
not necessary that the leaves be
stripped from, the grain, but the
stripping will make the sheaves more
attractive.
Since the judging is based upon the
Size Of the head and the quality of
the grain, only first-class heads
should be put into these sheaves. The
heads should be we'll formed and no
head with shrunkeA. shrdveled Or
diseased grain should be allowed to
ente rthe sheaf.
1t is preferable to harvest the sheaf
material just before it is thoroughly
ripe. Cure it out in the shade and
hang with the heads down. 1t should
be covered with paper or other ma
terial to keep out the dust. Be GER
tain to save out some good sheaves
to exhibit at the county, interstate
and state fairs.
