VARIETY IN RAILROAD FARE

Henry Meyer was down at Liberal
and Guymon last week. He had what
he considers rather novel experience
on the trip. Returning to Liberal
from Guymon he bought ticket to
Tyrone, OKLA, to avoid having to pay
extra fare because of the interstate
trip. This cost him &c per mile. He
intended to buy again at Tyrone but
the train did not stop long enough.
He had to pay on the train, and he
was charged &c per mile and 10c pen
atty, which for the ten miles made 4c
per mile. Then the balance of the
way home it cost him from &c to 4c
per mile. In spite of the failure Of
his plan, however, he found he was
zoe to the good, besides the expert
ence and the fun he gets out of telling
the joke on himself. Cour-

Paul Nesbitt's proposed state market

attention in the Legislature as any
other one piece Of legislation offered.
That this Is wonderful piece of pro-
gressive Legislation is the opinion OF
many Of the law makers. The bill is
the product Of much study and travel.
Nesbitt has travelled through many
states seeking the best methods OF
marketing, and has consulted with ex-
perts from mapy states The propos-
ed members Of the state commission
have put in d great deal Of work with
Nesbltt on the bill.
Nesbitt's bill proposes the creation
Of q sfase marketing commission,
whose members shall be the president
OF the state board Of agriculture, tho
director Of the extension division OF
A. and NJ. college, and the dean of the
school Of commerce and marketing at
A. and M, college. Each Of these men
IS expert In one Of the phases Of the
work to be touched on by the com
mission.
The commission is empowered to or
ganize community and county market
associations, TO standardize farm pro-
ducts, including poultry and dairy
products, and to provide agents in
large cities and populous centers to
sell the goods on the market
The entire undertaking, after 1t has
