RAILWAY RATES AND PRICES,

When the railways were allowed to
increase rates to offset their com
rulsory increase of wages, it was
predicted that the consumers of goods
would pay both bills. AS surely as
the railways received the increase it
must be paid by somebody, it was
argued, and there were those who held
that the railway rate increase would
be reduplicated as often as goods
were turned in the processes of pro-
duction. says the New York Times.
The alternative view was that con-
sumers were concerned more with
prices of consumable goods than with
railway rates on raw materials, and
that the railway rate was only one
among many factors Of cost and not
the chief one.
The test of these theories is now at
hand The increase of rates is in full
force, and prices of goods are falling
as fast as is desirable. The rate in
creases, which were to come out of
the pockets of consumers, are coming
cut of nobody's pockets so far as they
are being made or saved by economies
and efficiency or railway operation
The higher cost of moving freight
has not reduced the volume of traf-
fic.
The cars are moving faster and
carrying more tons, with the result
that fewer cars are necessary, as we'll
as fewer men.
That is making" money by saving
il. The Railways could not have done
it alone. The shippers who used the
cars for warehouses, and who loaded
as little as was necessary to get car
load rates instead Of as much as the
cars could carry, are now cooperating
with the railways.
Here there is another hint why the
increase of rates will not be burden
to consumers of goods. The costs of
production will be reduced with the
improvement of railway service. The
same factor Of increasing economy If
production by increasing efficiency of
labor will enable reduction of prices
by more than the increase of railway
rates. No one can doubt it who reads
the mercantile agency reports. We
ere passing from the era of excess
war profits to the era of better supply
OF consumable goods in times of
reace.

The Serpent Effigy mound. near

work left by the Mound Builders, Is
one OF the most striking and puzzling
creations that Is to be found In the
Scioto River valley. Over all. the
mound Is more than 200 feet long,
and depicts serpent, of several con-
volutions. jaws extended, and an oval
within the grasp OF the huge jaws. The
groundwork Is from two to four feet
IN height, and from three or four to
- feet In thickness. Within the oval.
beyond the extended jaws, archeolo-
gists have found an altar of stones and
copper ornaments
An old Indian fighter who died In
the West several years ago, nearly
100 years old. declared he had heard
a story in his younger days of a tribe
OF strange Indians in the Scioto val
ley who each wear held foil festival
ana gave great powwOw on snakes

stand the meaning of the story until
later In life when he heard of the
Mound Builders. His recollection of
the story. had It been given to stu

might have used the stone altar which

the use of homegrown roughage and

by the State College extension service
and the Hercules stock farm, of
Sprague, Washington, Frank NJ. Roth
rock, proprietor.
The object at present is limited to
twenty-five Washington boys and

Der named, on their personal note at
G per cent interest. The notes are t.
fall due November /, 1921, which is
the opening date of the Western Roy
