INDIAN NAMES FOR WARsHlPs
Suggestion Made That Vessels Of the
United States Navy Be Called
After Famous Red Men.

A correspondent Of the New York
Times advocates Indian names for
United States warships. "How to
name the ships of our vastly extended
navy is an interesting question. A
glance down the list Of the names Of
our naval ships does undoubtedly give
the impression that they had been &C
cepted by weary man as a choice of
evils
1T seems to me that from the men
of the race longest identified with our
history-the noble red men-and from
their tribes, most BETTING titles could
be found for applying to our warships.
From early childhood the lives of the
foremost Indian chieftains have in
spired intense admiration in Ameri-
cans. They are the ideal embodiment
Of the greatest naval battle prowess
of their time.
"What names could imply the idea
of indomitable fighting force in the
American mind equally with Powha.

or Pontiac, "the Red Napoleon" chief
Of the Ottawas; or Tecumseh, chief
Of the Shawnees, or (Shawanoes) and

chieftain of the Sacs and Foxes?"

tary of Great Salt lake, bat the
lake into which the three rivers
flow is saline. 1t is saline because
it has no outlet.

RATE INCREASE
NECESSARY
FARMERS UNION OFFICIALS
THINK RAILROADS ARE EN-
TITLED TO MORE REVENUE.
Products OF Piow and Farmer Who
Lives at Home Should Be
Exempt From Increase.
BY Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers Union.


The recent action of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in granting an
increase in freight rates in the eastern
classification OF territory; the applica,
tion of the roads to state and inter
state commissions for an increase In
rates, and the utterances OF President
Wilson on the subject bring the farm
ers of this nation face to face with the
problem of an increase in freight
rates. 1t is the policy of the Farmers
Union to meet the issues affecting the
welfare OF the farmers sqnarely and
we will do so in this instance.
The transportation facilities OF the
United States are inadequate to ef-
fectively meet the demands OF com
merce and particularly in the South
and West additional railway mileage
is needed TO accommodate the move
ment of farm products. If In the wis
dom of our Railroad Commissions an
increase in freight rates Is necessary
to bring about an Improvement In our
transportation service. and an exten-
sion Of our mileage, then an increase
should be granted, and the farmer Is
willing to share such proportion OF
the increase as justly belongs to him,
but we have some suggestions to make
as to the manner in which this in
crease shall be levied.
Rates Follow Lines of Least Resist
ance.
The freight rates Of the nation have
been built up along lines of least re-
sistance. The merchant, the manu-
facturer, the miner, the miller, the
iumberman and the cattleman have
had their traffic bureaus thoroughly
organized and in many instances they
have pursued the railroad without
mercy and with the power of organ
.zed tonnage they have hammered the
life ont OF the rates and with unre-
strained greed they have eaten the
vitals out of our transportation system
and since we have had railroad com
missions, these interests, with skill
and cunning, are represented at every
nearing III WhlSA bhIAA poSAAANS5 -
involved.
The farmer is seldom represented
at rate hearings, as his organizations
have never had the finances to EN-
pioy counsel to develop his side OF
the case and, as a result, the products
of the plow bear an unequal burden
of the freight expense. A glance at
the freight tariffs abundantly proves
this assertion Cotton, the leading
agricultural product the South, al
ready bears the highest freight rate OF
any necessary commodity in COM
merce, and the rate on agricultural
nroducts as whole is out of pro-
portion with that of the products OF
the factory and the mine.
We offer no schedule of rates, but
hope the commission will be able to
give the railroad such an increase In
rates as is necessary without levying
a further toll upon the products OF
the plow. The instance seems to pre-
sent an opportunity to the Railroad
Commissions to equalize the rates as
between agricultural and other classes
Of freight without disturbing the rates
on staple farm products.

Word reached Yale Sunday Of the
death of Moses Graybiel which occurra

Death was caused from the bursting of
a blood vessel in the brain. Mr.. Gray
biel was 49 years OF age and leaves u
widow and one son. The remains were
brought to Bay City where the funeral
was held on "Wednesday afternoon. He
will be remembered by the older settlers
of Yale and Greenwood township,
having resided in these places for many
years. For time he worked in w. n.
McKenna's drug store, later going to
Port Huron where he followed this
business for few years, afterwards
entering the ministry. lie had been
stationed al Washington for the past
four years. For year or more his
health had been very poor, but his
condition was not considered critical
and his death comes as a shock to his
many friends in this vicinity. David

A Little Too Fresh

cording to a story told by Fred lay

fresh" is also shown. When Fred lock-
ed up the store on saturday night
everything seemed to be normal, but
upon his arrival at his place of busi'
ness Monday morning good healthy
chirping was heard. Upon investigat'
ing the matter he found Q nice little
chick stirring around In one of the egg
crates. Fred took the little one Out
carefully and carried 1t home. he
hasn't decided whether to engage In the
poultry business or keep on buying
eggs, but which ever he does, We'll bel
a leather medal that he will keep the
eggs in q cooler place or be more care
full in buying. The above Is purely Q
case OF deserted child and the party
who is to blame for this outrage car
have the infant by calling at the store
proving property and paying for thit
notice.
