Commission Men Ordered To Dis
continue Present Rates On
Live Stock.
INCREASE OBJECTED TO
eecretary OF Agriculture Takes Action
On Increased Commissions On
Live stoek-ls Empowered
To Regulate.

Washington-War powers created
under the Lever fuel and food control
act, have again been invoked by Il. +.
Meredith, secretary Of agriculture,
who ordered licensed commission men
at the principal live stock yards to
discontinue the schedule Of increased
commission rates on live stock put into
effect August 2 last Commissions
are to remain the same as on July l..
At the same time the secretary is
calling upon the secretaries Of live
stock exchanges at stock yards where
the Department of Agriculture has no
agent for schedules Of commission
charges in effect at their respective
places. Any increases found In rates
at these stockyards will be ordered
discontinued also.
In the official announcement the de-
partment said:
"The increases objected to by Secre-
tary Meredith ranged as high as rs
per cent and included commission on
cattle, calves, hogs, sheep and goats
shipped in car lots by single owners.
This action by the secretary is along
the line Of that taken recently, when
he fixed commission rates to be charg-
ed at Chicago on car lot shipments of
live stock having more than one
owner.
I'm 1918 and 1919, the bureau of
markets of the Department of Agri-
culture investigated the live stock
commission business with view to
ascerta1ning whether or not the in
come from rates being charged at that
time would justify a conclusion that
rates were inviolation of the depart
ment's regulations" declared an Off
cial Of the department in discussing
the order. This information is the
principal data on which we based an
opinion at this time that the recent
increase in rates is justified. Further
more, at least one other increase has
taken place since our information was
secured and with which the depart
ment did not attempt to interfere"
Under the food act, commission men
are required to take out federal licen-
Sos for doing business. The depart
ment is empowered to prescribe reg
ulations for their operation.

Uncle DUDLEY'S COLUMN

some people are foredoomed to 60

They have honor instead.
The laws of this country were
made for all people to obey. A few
people do.
It's simple matter to see the faults
of others, and quite as easy FOR 9TH
ers to see ours.
The man with money has troubles OF
his own. He has to be forever side
stepping to prevent some other fellow
from euchreing him out Of it.
There are, however, some people
who are in no danger of entering hell
The door would be slammed in their
faces.
= Every man owes duty to his coun-
try. Some pay, and others want the
country to pay Il the % .
Some men are always worrying ov
or the brevity of women $ dresses. IT
they would make a practice Of looking
at faces they would have less to COM
plain of elsewhere. We only see
where we look.
Honest toll is credit to any man,
but many people object to the credit
system.
If your neighbor calls you fool,
don't be too hasty about punching
him. He may have blundered onto
the truth.
The wise man spends his money. The
! fool blows it in.
Success beckons to every young man,
bat it never comes within reaching
distance of its own accord.

In estimating your pay roll for the
ensuing year don't forget that your
wife is worth double that Of your
highest salaried employee. Buck up
and whack up.
May prompt success attend your ev-
cry noble impulse, brother-especia1ly

Don t be too swift about advising
others to give the devil his due. They
may hand you over.

Many men prate loudly Of the val
ne of their convictions, but the market
price of convictions often fuctuates.

Not all men jump when their wives
speak. Some are quick to anticipate,
and others are too scared to do either.
