DOG FOUND RED cROss
MONEY
Canine Owned by Durham Bros.
Brought Lost Pocketbook
to House.

Miss Ruth Peterson, young dangh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony Peter
son, was made happy Monday by the
recovery Of the pocketBook contain
ing a $40 bill, belonging to the Red
Cross, which she lost about two weeks
ago. And dog did it.
The purse was lost east Of town
while Miss Peterson and Miss Janet
HaWkins were canvassing for Red
CroSs members in the recent cam
paiGn. Athorough search was made
Of that section for the missing article
and an advertisement was placed in
The Index. Not hearing anything Of
the lost purse, all hope Of recovering
it was abandoned and Mr.. Peterson
made good the loss to the Red Gross.
Friday the dog came to the Durham
house with the purse in his mouth,
and on Monday it was restored to the
loser. The dog should be rewarded
with a medal for distinguished SER
vices.
You can't always tell about dog.
Some dogs that are descended from
royal blood and whose value is COM
puted in two or three figures, are not
worth the powder to blow them up,
while dog that is "just dog some
times proves to be so valuable that
money couldn't buy him. And the
latter is evidently the kind of dog
the Durhams own. He came to their
home as a half starved stray. He
was taken in because their daughter
took fancy to him. Now he is
hero, and entitled to recognition by
the Red Cross.

Nothing Definite About Hay

Up to today nothing definite has
been announced in regard to reduc-

to eastern markets, though it is ex-

Forthcoming. But SO far, the matter
seems to be up in the air, both as re-

the grower would receive at Missouri

Railroads Ask for 30 Per
Cent Rate Increase

people more difficult and more
costly"
MI. Elliott declared shat the rail
road operators were just as DESTROYS
of obtaining fair adjustment of
wages for their 100000, or more
men as they were to receive the in
creased revenues. He said, there is
man power, brain-power, courage,
common sense and vision enough in
the country to succeed if all will pull
together, work long and hard to elm
mate selishness, waste and eXtrava-
gance."
In justification Of the railroads po-
sition he said that the price of trans
portation has not increased nearly so
much as The cost of production. Elk
penses had gone up at least 100 per
cent while revenues had increased
less than 40 p. C. He referred TO con-
dluons in European countries where,
he said, freight rates had been raised
as follows: England II per cent -;
France 140 per cent; Belgium 100 per
cent; Italy 40 to 100 per cent; Hol-
land 70 to 140 per cent; Sweden 200
per cent; Norway $50 per cent.
"The new Transportation Act,
said Mr.. Elliott, Gin fixing the rate of
return at five and one-half and six
per cent for two year period might
have been sufficient in the past but
is wholly inadequate to meet the pres
ent situation. The cost of new CAPT
tai in the United States today, as is
well known is in excess of seven per
cent. The Bank of England discount
rate is now seven per cent, a rate
which onlyeseven times in the history
of that old institution has ever
| reached that level"
In expressing the desire of the rail
roads to help the Labor Board and
| the Interstate Commerce Commission
in reaching fair and equitable con-
illusions, Mr.. Elliott said that the
officers of the companies Gas quasi
public servants realize their respon-
sibility to do their part in adjusting
rightly the two 100000 ques-
tions now before both bodies They
desire to obtain promptly an adjust
ment of "ates that would meet the
letter and spirit of the new law,
make the railroads self-sustaining
and relieve the Treasury of the
United States from the necessity of
constant appropriations He said
that the Association of Railway Exc
cutives is ready and anxious to do its
part in reaching without confusion or
delay "a settlement of the major
question of furnishing adequate
transportation in keeping with the
magnitude of the United States"

ing that he would prove" his

night at Pittsburgh.
The statement Of Gov. Cox
follows:
Senator Harding denies
my charges about the cam
paign fund which the sena-
torial oligarchy is raising. /
am prepared to believe that
he knows nothing about lot
of things that are going on
around him, This reveals the
very dangerous symptom
which have been discussing.
In my Pittsburgh speech this
week | will advise the country
as to matters of which the
senator claims to be ignorant,
and ! will prove my charges.
