Hampton. June 2s.-Notwithstand-
ing the wet and rather cold weather
that has prevailed during much Of this
spring. on the whole the corn in this
county Is fully up to the average at
this date, and probably ahead of that
a year ago. Observation over con-
siderable territory recently reveals few
fields that are not almost knee high
even more than a week before the
Fourth. The wet spells stored much
moisture. then came a record warm
week for June when corn forged ahead
rapidly. And the stand is good too.

Many more potatoes have been.
planted than in any previous year,

Consolidating Shipments in Less

Des Moines, June 2G.-The rise in
freight rates is causing grief for Iowa
manufacturers who have made con-
tracts on the basis Of the old rates for
rood. to be delivered this season.
One big manufacturer OF drain tile in
iowa called on the state railroad COM
mission Tuesday and explained his
predicament. When the state highway
commission this spring asked for bids
on supplies and materials needed for
large number of the counties OF the
state his firm submitted the lowest bid
on drain tile. On the basis Of that
bid he has been getting a big volume
Of business from Iowa counties which
is placed thru the county supervisors.
With the Increased freight rates on this
class OF shipments, which have gone up
from so to $50 per cent, his concern
will loose heavily on the tile he Is OBJ
ligated to furnish county supervisors.
The county supervisors have no funds
to pay an additional cost for the tile
even IL they were inclined to do so as
their tax leyies were made only to
cover the cost of the tile under the
bids submitted. The state commission
however, is an no position now to help
this Iowa tile manufacturer.
Under these new rates the minimum
charge for any freight shipment in
Iowa will be so cents On sand. gravel
and crushed stone the increased rate
will be cent per 100 pounds or 20
cents per ton. On grain General Nc
Adoos order provides that all grain
shall take the wheat rate, and that
the wheat rate be increased rs per cent
but in no case exceeding 6 cents per
100 pounds.
The consolidation Of freight in less
than carload lots Is the latest plan OF
the government to be announced here.
Under this plan merchandise shipments
consigned to one town will be shipped
over one road instead Of small ship
ments over the different roads which
enter the town. This system will be
put into effect thruout the nation and
is designed to curtail small shipments
over various roads which might just as
well be concentrated and sent over
one road.

Ottumwa, June 2S.-There IL an

attorneys for the defendants were
successful in obtaining change Of
venue from Justice Jackson Of Agency

OF Pleasant township.
The case Is set for Friday, July 5. at
2 p. m. Justice Hanna will hear It at
the court house in Ottumwa. The de-
fehdants are out on bail.
There Is the remote possibility that
the entire list OF Justices Of the peace
In Wapello county may be exhausted
before the Wilkerson case is finally
heard. Justice Of the Peace Hanna, Of
Center township. has not Qualified for
the present term Of office and there
might be ghost Of a chance that for
that reason he would be disqualified
from hearing the case. He qualified
six years ago, and has since been re-
elected. According to the law he sue
ceeds himself until his successor is
appointed, hut the law is an intricate
process and there is no telling who
will be the next.
