SOW WHEAT TO BUILD CHURCH.
Hodgeman County Women Have Field
of Sixty-Three Acres.

three acres of wheat has been sowed
under the auspices of the Willing
Workers club of Union One district,
north of Jetmore, which is to provide
funds for building neighborhood
church.
The Willing Workers is a club of
country women, who organized about
a year ago. Their object, aside from
the social features, was to raise money
for this church. They had received
some from subscriptions, when they
conceived the idea of putting out a
wheat crop and using the proceeds for
their church fund. The husbands and
sons met the other day and did the
drilling, and the prospect is for a good
crop, and a sufficient sum to start the
church building.

LET THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE COMMISSION
USE ITS POWER.

We read with interest that the Su-
preme Court of the District Of Co
lumbia has decided that the Inter
state Commerce Commission has
power 10 inquire into the political ac-
tivities Of railroads. Justice Stafford
OF that court is reported to have ruled
that certain railroad officers must
answer questions of the commissions
counsel mot because the questions in
volve the political activity of car
riers. but because they involve the
expenditure Of funds and so affect the
question of the reasonableness of
rates"
The 100000 holders OF railroad
securities will rejoice at this decision
and will hope that the Interstate
Commerce Commission may find time
fully to investigate certain political
activities affecting the railroads Of
this country. which had their culmi-
nation on September ?, 1916. when
the Senate of the United States. fol-
lowing the example of the House Of
Representatives and the wishes of the
President, passed the Adamson bill.
This law. under the guise of grant
ing an eight-hour day. conferred on a
small number Of railroad employees a
rs per cent. increase in wages. It in
wolves a tremendous expenditure Of
railroad funds and consequently az
fects the question of the reasonable
ness Of railroad rates. It's political as
well as its non-political aspects will
amply repay investigation by the ex-
perts Of the Commerce Commission.
