 ID FIGHT FLOUR CASE
Proposed Reduction of Rate to Coast Terminals Would Again Leave
 Arizona High and Dry

To assist in opposing the demand or the railroads for an advance in flour rates to Arizona points over the rate tu coast terminals, A. A. Betts, rate expert for the corporation commission vlu leave Saturday evening for Chi cago. Word that the railroads are asking to reduce the rate to the coast terminals to SiXty-five cents, leaving the rate to Arizona points at seventy five cents was received yesterday at the offices of the commission
 The rate from Kansas points to coast terminals was formerly sixty five cents, with a higher rate to Ari- zcna points The interstate commerce commission ordered that the rate here l,. made the same as to coast ter rninals. and the railroads then asked rfur an increase of ten cents on the Fate to the coast This was granted, and the existing rate is 75 cents. Now the railroads. alleging water compe- tition are asking that the old rate to the coast be restored, thereby putting the rate to Arizona at seventy five cents
 Suspecting that the carriers would eventually make this move, the com mission has been quietly preparing data and exhibits in the flour rate case. These Rate Expert Betts will take with him to Chicago. as well as a large amount of correspondence re- ls tive to the flour rate situation Chairman F. A. Jones and William Sangster. auditor for the commission are now in Chicago attending the passenger rate hearing. which is a part of a general petition for increase hv- rgilTO1HS

that would not hold water and the cook stove didn't count
 Three of Moorhead Wright's boys were in the crew and the only way Cne could tell them apart-so much are they alike-was by the general rule that Moorhead brought in only new cans with bright new labels; that Charlie gathered the oldest ana shab- biest cans he could find, and that Fulton, who was not particular about the kind of cans, happened to the mis- fortune of having playmate poke a stick dangerously near his eye. That's the way we told the Wright boys apart.
 There were also three Clancy boys, and they had their varying ways, but they got the cans. There was big Ed die Loescher and short Tommy Kirby. There were the two handsome Cockrill boys, Sterling and Ashley, who might have been prize winners if they hadn't quit for a ball game in the afternoon. There was the debonair Hatton Adams and the rustic Ray Mcknight, who looks like a miniature edition of the sheriff of Custer county, Montana. It was fine lot of boys. You couldn't beat 'em anywhere, and to be cham pion of such lot was the happy honor that fell to Lester Dalhoff, who per formed the stupendous task of gath oring A barrels of tin cans. Tom Kir- by was second with 16 barrels, and Ed die Loescher was third with Is barrels.
 By noon we had cleaned up the main ravine from Thompson's bridge down to the church and from the church around the river road down to "Niggertown." Then we were called in for lunch at the church. this being prepared by the ladies. I can't say low much this excellent meal was ap- preciated by these hungry boys. It consisted of several kinds of meat, baked sweet potatoes, beans, maca- roni, buttered rolls, coffee, pie and cake, and there was more than q plenty. It was really wholesome and appetizing.
 In the afternoon MT. Swearingin was relieved by c. o. Carpenter, and Dr. Garrison left to take charge of crew of brush-hook men. We transferred our base of operations to the ravine, starting at Pine and Prospect, and ex- l tending past the school house. When | this was finished the vacant lots on Pine and Cedar street were cleaned up and the long ravine, extending from the corner of the State Hospital grounds to Lee Avenue and Walnut street was invaded.

 All underbrush, tin cans and other refuse were removed from alleys and vacant property. Approximately TO men were engaged in the work
 w. H. Bowman was marshal of the day. The actual work was accom- plished by squads of 10 men each, un- der the direction of H. E. Olive. George Firnlin, l.. w Sanders, E. L. Thomas, J. R. Hawkins, J. H. Hicks and Dr. s. G. Boyce.
 Many compliments were heard for the finance committee, Mrs. l.. w. Sanderson, chairman, which raised $75, and made possible the employ ment of the large number of men,
 Mrs. J. N. Battle was chairman Of the lunch committee, which furnished an excellent luncheon and supper for the hungry workers. Great credit should go to this committee, the mem bers of which were untiring in their efforts
 Both these hearty meals were served at the Methodist Church, number of prominent ladies of the district giv- ing their services, among whom were Mesdames S. G. Boyce. S. R. Bradley. Kile, D. B. Lipsey, H. E. Olive, B. W. Robinson, l.. w. Sanderson, c. R. Stevenson, c. w. Myers, E. L. Thomas and Waller.

At a mass meeting on Tusday night of citizens and patrons of Forest Park School, held at the Methodist Church and presided over by Joseph Smart, the lack of public school facilities in the Forest Park district was discussed
 It is desired not only to enlarge the school building, so as to take care of the present attendance and increased enrolment, but to extend the curricu- lum to include all grades up to the eighth. At the present time the fifth grade is the highest taught at Forest Park School, and pupils who advance to the Sixth grade are compelled to transfer to the Pine Street School, some two miles distant.
 It is said that the Pine Street School is overcrowded, and that the relief which would be provided by keeping the Forest Park pupils in their own district would be welcomed Parents complain that the distance HUH lcSl I cil LO IllS I lHS ollCCL School is too great for the children to walk and that the expense of sending them on street cars is burden. They prefer larger home school and are we'll satisfied with the present loca- tion. Opinion on these points were unanimous, and Chairman Smart was instructed to appoint a committee of six to wait upon the Public School Board and present the facts to that body.
 This committee is composed of Mrs. c. H. Joslyn, Mrs. J. T. Wyatt and Mrs E. s. Mead, officers of the Forest Park School Improvement Association, and Ed R. Trickett, H. B. Christ and J. L. Waller.

Forest Park is all ready for civic cleanup Saturday, the last of a series of neighborhood rubbish-gatherings that when completed will make Pulas- Xxi Heights one of the cleanest ci- ties in the United States. The work started two months ago in the Hill crest district has extended to every part of the Heights. The cleanup has been general and thorough.
 At largely attended meeting held in the Forest Park Methodist Church Tuesday night, presided over by Ed B. Trickett, reports were received from the ladies of the Forest Park Health Club, who have been active in promoting the cleanup movement and soliciliting funds for meeting the ex- pense. Miss Nell Jennings announced that the finance committee was meet ing with success and that a bountiful lunch would be served to the workers by the ladies on cleanup day
 Mayor Bradley was present and of fered several valuable suggestions
 
 the support of the city officials and the use of teams and tools.
 Charles T. Link, who directed the Hillcrest cleanup and assisted the Pulaski Heights Club on last Saturday, was invited to take supervision of the Forest Park work and accepted He will also lend such tools and equip ment as the Hillcrest Club has on hand
 It was decided to divide the remain ing territory into five districts and put each district in charge of fore man, these five foremen to be under the general direction of MT Link.
 Prospect Avenue is the divinding line one way and Cypress street the dividing line the other for four of these districts. The fifth district is composed of the territory west of Lo- cust street, near the convent. Fore men for these districts are as fol- lows:
 First District-J. F. Taylor.
 Secoond District-W M. Early.
 Third District-G. w. Replogle.
 Fourth District-R. c. Trickett.
 Fifth District-Dr. Johnson.
 In addition to the force of men, prob ably 75 in number, the school boys will engage in can-gathering con | test, five cents to be paid for each barrel of cans delivered and prizes given to the three boys who lead. Each boy will bring gunny sack.
 Promptly at 7:30 o'clock the work CTS will gather at the Main entrance to Forest Park. Here the leaders will outline the work and the crusade will begin, the object being to clear out all brush and briars and destroy all trash and rubbish. One crew will be assigned, probably, to each district.
 At noon the ladies of the Forest Park Health Club will serve lunch con to the workers in the pavilion op posite Forest Park gate. The ladies met Wednesday afternoon to complete arrangements for this feature.

 Somebody smiled when Mrs. Moss suggested to the Pulaski Heights Health Club that the boys might be enlisted in the neighborhood cleanup work then being planned, and wise men shook their heads and allowed that it was no child's play, this thing of raking over and tidying up three or four miles of hills and rayines, but when it was all over and the smoke clouds were curling up from the ashes of great brush heaps, and tired and hungry men, women and children sat On the mountain side and looked down through the trim woodlands to a sit- very brook below, the woman who smiled and the men who doubted ad- mitted that the great cleanup day in Pulaski Heights would not have been complete success had it not been for the boys.
 An, the boys! There were 50 of them, counting the little Waterbury lad, whose hands got so cold he had to go home, and Clyde Owens Carpen- ter, a six year old youngster whose hands also got cold, but who thawed them out in the folds of his jumpers and stayed on until the whistle blew"
 When Mrs Seaver introduced me to the boys at the school on Friday after noon, I explained that the cleanup forces would gather at the church at 7:30 on Saturday morning, that each toy would be expected to bring a gun ny sack and that the object would be to gather all the tin cans in the ra- vines, for which they would be paid 5 cents a barrel with the additional in ducement of cash prizes to the three leaders.
 It was 7:15 o'clock when 1 stepped off the street car at the church Sat urday morning, ready to begin prepara- tions for the great can hunt in the picturesque hills of Pulaski, and there on the sidewalk, in the street and on the church steps and all around ! everywhere-were my boys with their sacks-and every sack was full of cans.
 Where are the barrels? 2"
 "Where1l we put these cans?"
 Gimme nickel"
 These were some of the shouts that greeted me as I got off the car. 1t did not take long to provide delivery station for the cans and to get bar rels for properly measuring them, so while the men were yet assemblying, the boys were sent scurrying to the woods for their second raid on the can piles, and they came and went like so many busy little bees, from flower to hive.
 The pile of cans grew so monument al that MT. Swaringen, Dr. Garrison and myself who were delegated to look after the boys in the forenoon. grew alarmed and an envoy was sent dies club that sponsored the cleanup movement, to ascertain the condition of the treasury and learn if it was pre- pared for such demand as the rapid accumulation of cans served to indi- cate would be made upon it. Mrs. Baer patrioticaliy responded that there would be nickels in the treasury as long as there were empty cans in Pu- laski Heights, so the boys were not de- terred.
 One boy was so eager to add to his rile that he brought to camp an old cook stove with some wash boilers ana stove pipe, but MT. Swearingin laid down the rule that nothing was wanted

Observation-Disclosures of Chi
CagOans are now wearing a small flag
or knot of the national cOlOrs on their
coat IapeIs; the Herald waves Old
Glory daily from its editorial col
umns; the Tribune holds fast to De-
catUr's toast and advocates universal
military service in this country. And
on the evening Of Aug. II the Post
printed editOrially half a column of
small talk about the flag Of the sort
which after-dinner society of any
pretension to cOsmOpOlitanism Gag
erly relishes.
The recipe for the sort of anecdOte
narrated is simple. A dash Of Kip
ling: GIorify the severity and trivial
ity of military tradition, do not
under any circumstances cross a line
so many PAGES from the flag with
out uncovering the head"
A dash of Oliver Optic: The
"pIebe" sentinel (yOUng yet unfinch-
ing in duty compels a general (Old,
supreme in command, steTnly ViT-
tuous' to recross said line and salute
in humility for his fOrgetfulness.
If the boy was not promoted for his
courageous performance of duty
don't mention his name, but-the
lash of universal snobbery-be sure,
in an aside, to name the general.
Or be superior and subtle without
being enlightening. Rebuke your
comrade for failing to uncover when
the flag passed in this fashion: Sir
or Madame, the United States just
went by"
The Post suggests that a person
who is unwilling to salute the flag
should Ego to or be kicked to some
