Special to Tines Republican

regulating the distribution Of freight
cars for grain shipments are being
worked out as the result Of the confer
ence at Chicago last week between
representatives of the interstate COM
merce commission and Iowa railroad
commissioners as we'll as shippers.
State Chairman Dwight N. Lewis, Of
the Iowa commission, announces that
discrimination in the furnishing OF
grain cars both to towns and to indi
viduals will be done away with under
the new regulations. Cars are to be
distributed 10 stations in times OF
shortage on the basis of past perform
ance. That Is, the town which In the
past has shipped sixteen cars Of grain
to it's neighbours four, will get four
times as many cars as the smaller
point.
AS to furnishing cars to individuals,
these will be provided on the basis OF
the available supply of grain for ship
ment. The individual or concern which
has the most grain to ship will get the
biggest per cent Of the available sup
ply Of cars.

building when the opposition had an
other site in view, is the filing Of in

ing out money to w. j. Kacharo, the
contractor. upon his contract.
After the opposition had fought the
matter thru with petitions, appeals to
the county and state superintndents
and finally the district court and been
given adverse decisions, they took the
matter up with the state and finally
the national government and the
board was ordered to cease the work
which they already had started on the
basement. AS no more material has
been forthcoming under this federal
war order the work is at a standstill.

HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.

crowds-common drinking cups, roller
