twenty bushels OF fine Irish potatoes.

firmly in diversihcaiion and GAYS that
by raising things that can be sold at

more than one pay day a year. Also
diversiiication does not require all

SHREVEPORT RATE
CASE rs REOPENED
Houston Contends That Present Tariff
Doesn't Discriminate Against
Other Texas Cities.

HOUSTON, Dec. 17.-After nearly
four years of litigation during which
time there has been continued
movement toward that complexity
which has marked 1t as one of the
most complicated of transportation
problems, the Shreveport freight rate
case was re-opened In Houston Friday
morning with Commissioner Henry G.
Hall of the interstate commerce COM
mission presiding. The first day Of
the hearing of the case was marked
by the Introduction of all the wit
nesses for Shreveport interests and
the acceptance Of 39 exhibits offered
by George Il. Atkins, jr., of the
Shreveport chamber of commerce in
" hich it was endeavOred to cite spe-
cific instances of alleged discTimina-
tion i'm the matter Of freight rates
from Shreveport to jobbing territory
i'm east Texas. The witnesses intro
duced by Shreveport interests were
heads of concerns who complained
because alleged discriminatory rate
conditions limited their business ac-
tivities in Texas territory
Witnesses for Houston interests
will be introduced Saturday morning
1t will be the contention of Houston
interests that the present rates be-
tween Houston and Shreveport and
competitive territory as established by
the Texas railroad commission do not
produce discriminatory effect
against Shreveport and an effort will
be made to show that the action of the
Louisiana railroad commission in in
voking the authority of the inter-
state commerce commission to estab-
lish an order that railroads shall re-
move the alleged discriminatory fea-
ture is not justified.
