your Philadelphia hat in Ogden.
If you buy Boston shoes in Ogden.
you pay to the railroad for carrying
them something like 1900 miles. across
three mountain ranges. 6.5 cents per

Lane is right there is no high cost
Of living in these figures.
Now what does Uncle Sam charge
for registering mail-that is for guar
anteeing safe delivery? Ten cents on
first class mail if the value is under
$50. in addition to the regular two-cent
stamp. The government does not guar
antee second class mail at all. On par
eel spot packages cents extra for a
valuation of $500, cents extra for
valuation of $500, 10 cents extra for
$4,000 and so cents if the value is
$4,000
The. value of the freight shipment
makes no difference in the liability of
the railroad and in these days of the
unusually high prices of everything
Except freight rates) the guarantee by
the railroads means liability several
times as great as in former years; for
instance a carload of wheat at 1920
per bushel means a liability to the
Union Pacific, should that wheat be
destroyed in transit, of more than twice
what it was a few years ago-yet the
railroad gets no more for carrying it,
and for insuring it, than it did when
the value of the wheat was less than
4 dollar bushel.

Why We Sec Better In a Modsrsts

Why We Sec Better In a Moderate
Light.
An observant chauffeur passing an
automobile with glaring headlights
noted that objects at the side OF the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon them. Since
one can see better IN a little light than
tn no Hight he wondered why one can
not see better In bright light than In
moderate light
The answer is, paradoSically. that the
less light there IL the better one sees.
for the brighter the object the less etfi-
Client Is the eyesight. IL after we have
been In darkness we suddenly turn on
a bright light aud look at our eyes In
the mirror we can see the pupil of the
eye rapidly growing smaller. IL we
reduce the light the pupil dilates again.
What happens is the same as In the
camera when we adjust the shutter to
the intensity OF the light.
The colorcd iris OF the eve CORE
spends TO IN shutter. IL consists
chiefly OF = muscle which as the light
Increases Is stimulated to contract
thus drawing the curtain and shutting
out some OF the superfiuous light. Ii
usually takes few seconds for this
adjustment TO take place. Thus when
we emerge from darkness into light we
are blinded until the Iris can shut out
some OF the light from the eyes.

MAKING 1T THE GOAT
BY Ballard Dunn

/ dropped into a store in one of the
cities out near the Rocky Mountains
some days ogo. The clerk showed
me pair OF shoes marked at 800
After an examination. said Il can
buy those same shoes in Omaha for
$500"
Sure you can" said the clerk. but
look at the big freight rate we have to
pay TO get them out here"
When l got back to the Office
straight-way hunted up c. J. Lane.
General Freight Agent Of the Union
Pacific Railroad-who by the way is
walking encyclopedia on railroad
rates-and here is what | learned in
his own words.
Trying to make the railroad the
goat, Ell? Well I'm used to that, I've
heard those kind of stories ever since
began railroading- that's been
long. time. Let's see though. Shoes
in this market come largely from st
Louis and Boston. Now the freight
rate on pair of shoes from Boston to
Omaha, half way across the continent
is 81 cents. from StLouis to Omaha
the freight rate is q cents for pair of
Shoes"
Not much high cost of living to that
is there? And remember the railroad
guarantees the safe shipment of those
shoes at that rate. If they are lost
the railroad makes good.
Ever send a registered letter or
package by mail? Well just try it and
see how much extra Uncle Sam charges |
for guaranteeing safe shipment"
Before finished talking to Mr. Lane |
l found that in the city near the noun
tains the rate on shoes from Boston
was just 81 cents higher per pair than
from Boston to Omaha-and it was
just Q cents higher per pair from st
Louis. and that clerk tried to make me
believe the freight rates accounted for
$500 difference in pricel.
Upon further inquiry. learned that
me freight rate on suit OF clothes
hat will weigh about three
"a cents from Chicago 70
Omaha and 8 cents from Chicago to
Ogden. The rate is is cents from St.
louis to Omaha and IA cents from ST.
louis to Ogden. From New York to
Omaha the rate is Al cents and from
Jew York to Ogden is 9.S cents. From
to Omaha the rate is
70 cents and from Philadelphia to
ogden it is 10 cents.
1t will take about half dozen or
mary felt hats to weigh three pounds,
'hich take the same freight rate as
1ens clothing. Thus it will be seen

Des Moines, July 24-Lumber 70,
building the big cantonment for the
thirteenth army district is now arriving
by train load at all hours of the day
and night. From 100 to 800 car loads
a day are coming in and will continue
in about that number for the first halt
of the week Great need at the camp
now is for men.
I'VE will be able to use all the labor
we can get until further notice" Major
Butler said today. Three hundred men
are wanted for sewer building and as
many for paving"
As soon as workmen can be secured
the contractors expect to put on night
shift.
Workmen are completing the bar
racks at he rate of five day now
and some fifteen barracks are under
construction at one time. Work on the
camp roads and on the sewer and water
systems is progressing rapidly.
More Ground For Artillery.
Two regiments of heavy artillery and
three regiments Of field artillery to be
taken care of at the camp will require
many additional buildings not included
in the first plans. Some 5000 acres of
land in addition to what was originally
leased will be needed for the artillery.
The government has just approved the
leases for this additional acreage.
There are many requests on the part
Of professional concessions men for
various concessions about the camp.
The government, it is reported here.
will not permit cheap concession stands
or businesses 10 be established at Camp
Dodge. Good substantial business con-
Germs, however, will be welcomed. It is
probable that an important little bust
ness section may be established in the
vicinity of the camp. It is thought
probable that the government may use
the camp for at least three years and
possibly for some purpose even after
the war ends.
