told the interstate commerce commits
sion Monday In hearings on freight
rates on grain products and hay. The
complaint against present rates was
made by the Kansas state railroad
commission Joined by twenty other
states and various grain producers
associations.
Producers are unable to sell their
products above the cost Of production
and distribution. Mr.. Ramsey said.
Rate experts. stahsticians and econ
onsists were on hand to testify before
the interstate commerce commission
as. to the necessity for reductions in
freight rates on grain products and
hay In the Western states. In the case
scheduled for five days of hearings
twenty states. through their railroad
commissions. have Joined with organ
nations representing grain producers,
stock exchanges and grain dealers as
well as many Western bankers, In
urging reductions on the ground that
present rates are too high for pr0duc-
ers to realize reasonable profit. They
also declare that grain and hay prices
have come down to prewar prices, and
therefore should be accorded prewnr
freight rates. I'M
The hearings will be before Commits

will be dispensed with and argument
asked for Immediately after the, hear
ings. The commission, it is known, is
anxious to lose no time In deciding
whether the present alleged "emer-
gency" in the grain industry justifies
the reductions asked.

Public swimming pools should be

ordinary cases. and, though we should

several systems by which this is ac-

to remove large psrticles such as grit.
Then II is necessary to sterilize the
water. This can be done, in several
ways, either by exposure to the open

Is Your Safe Safe

Mr. Business Man, if you are not sure
that your safe is burglar-proof you had
better not allow cash to accumulate in it.
Yeggmen usually make their raids on
full cash boxes They have methods of
their own for obtaining the desired
information.
You would do well to make regular de-
posts in the bank and not wait until you
have large amount on hand, i. e., unless
you have ample burglary insurance.
Don't think that you would be bothering
us by coming often. We shall be glad to
have you call frequently.
