that these crops, which are early ma

whose corn acreage has been cut down
by flooded fields.
Farmers in some parts Of the coun-

IOWA STATE RATES
TO BE RETAINED

McAdoo Order Increasing Rail Tariffs
Modified to Some Extent by New
Rulins-coal Rates to Stand a,
They Are.
Des Moines, June 1.-THE Iowa
freight classffications are to remain in
force, according to advices received
Thursday from Washington by the
state railroad commission and the COM
merce counsel.
A modification Of the order for an in
crease in freight on June %, has been
approved by the director general OF
railroads, the most important feature
Of which permits the present classifica-
ton to stand, subject to the minimum
weights fixed for interstate traffic.
The change proposing the substitu-
ton of western classification in Iowa
for the classification under which ship
ping is now carried on was one OF the
things to which the traffic men of the
state most strenuously objected.
The modification also provides that
the proposed minimum charge of Sic
per car is not to be applied in switch
ing. nor to shipments of coal, coke
sand, gravel or crushed stone.
No reference is made to the arbitrary
increase on coal of Is cents ton in
addition to the % per cent increase or
dered.
A modification of the proposed rates
on shipments involving transportation
over more than one railroad is ordered
providing for only one increase in the
rates on shipments of that kind. instead
Of one increase for each Of the rates
involved.
Shipments Of grain and grain prod
ucts are excepted from the effect OF
this modification.
A new set of tariffs will be furnished
the state railroad commission from
Washington in a few days. 1t is stated
in the message that the new tariffs
are to be regarded solely as war
measure and are subject to such right
Of review and modification as now or
may hereafter exist.
Dwight N. Lewis, chairman OF the
Iowa railroad commission. and J. H.
Henderson. state commerce counsel,
will go to Washington the early part of
next week to confer with the director
general in regard to the new rates and
to lay before him the objections of the
Iowa traffic men to inequalities that
will result in this state when the new
rates become effective.

am about to fix price list for mer'
chants and dealers of Montgomery county.
After considering the fair prices of other
neiehborhoods and taking into considera-
ton the prices Of business before the war
have about decided upon the following
That every food commodity should be sold
by every retail dealer for no more profit
than 20 per cent over its cost and freight
to the nearest delivery station, except flour
and the products Of flour, which are regu-
lated from the producer, should not sell for
a greater profit than 10 per cent. Sugar
for not more than 10 per cent over the
cost and freight, provided the 10 per cent
does not add more than one cent per pound
to the cost Of sugar.
Also that butter shall not sell at greater
profit than (and this is General regula-
ton by the Food Administration five cents
per pound over cost, not including over
head charges. costs being the purchase
price and the freight to nearest shipping
station Further. that all commodities that
were sold for less profit than 20 per cent
before the war should not sell at greater
profit in the county during the war.
After talking with a number OF the best
merchants in the county and going into
this matter as thoroughly as | possibly
could, feel that have decided upon a
just means by which a fair price list can
be obtained for our county from time to
time. desire all food products to be fur
nished to our people from the nearest
market. as much as possible bringing down
the cost Of living.
II the merchants Of the county have any
reason to be dissatisfied with this ruling

to pay strict attention to the Food Admin

All Of the people Of the county are re-
quested not to keep In their house more

that some Of our people may have stocked
more than this amount Of sugar. am
hereby giving them an opportunity to COM
