A bulls training must be started
early. A light weight ring should be

Inserting the nose ring is a simple

Interstate Commerce Commits
siOn's Decision Will Soon
Be Handed Down.

WASHINGTON. Aug. s-The decision Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission on
the application of forty -one Western rail-
roads for an increase in freight rates
has been reached and will soon be made
public. II grants liberal increases on
the ground that rates have not kept
pace with the increased costs Of opera
ton and because revenues are now too
low.
Methods OF cutting down operating ex-
penses are pointed out In the report
Among these are suggestions for increas-
ing efficiency of organization and equip
men, and the curtailment of certain
privileges to shippers.
The grain carrying roads i'm the North
west will he the largest beneficiarie,,
OF the increased rates. The chief prod
ucts on which relief was sought were
grain. grain products. live stock. fresh
meats. coal. hay. fruits and cotton piece

The increases asked for would have
netted the railroads additional revenue
of $40, ,000. 900 year. IL is estimated. !.

ALIYING WAGE LAW
URGED FOR WOMEN
Dependents on state Charity

vcntiOn Is Told.

ALnASY. Aug. e.--"It cannot he stated
definitely that low wages lead to inn
morality" declared Herbert Parsons in
a report to the Constitutional conven-
ton to-day favoring an amendment
which will permit the Legislature to
pass a living wage law. but II Is OBJ
vious. and investigation has confirmed
II. that the temptations are less easily
resisted when wages are Insufficient"
The amendment which Mr.. Parsons's
committee reported provides that the
Legislature may directly. or through any
duly constituted administrative agency,
prescribe the living wages that shall be
paid To women and children employees.
The number of poor persons who are
dependent upon public charity Is
markedly increasing" says Chairman
Parsons. "and legislation tnat VIII re-
auire that living wages be paid IN IN
dustry is one method of checking ana
reversing this increase.
He points out that io5,9sl persons
were in poor institutions IN 1918, or
were receiving temporary relief, at Il
cost OF sS.4ol.3lS, and mat the NUMBER
OF such persons increased - per cent
hetvcen 1910 and 1919, while the eN-
