Dear Aunt Julia-I am a little
boy. ten years old, am blue
eyed and dark-headed. 1 want
to tell you of the kind deed I
did to help my grandfather. He

helped him plough, and I cut
wood for him all the time. I
am so glad of that, for he died

help him. But I can go on do
ing kind deeds for old and feeble

HONORABLE MENTION
LETTER
Adrian, Ga, Nov. %, 1921.

ADRIAN, Ga, NOV. u, 1!Z1.
Dearest Aunt Julia: May L
join in your contest for just a
few moments? For when I read
your letter it seemed I must
write and tell you all what help
ing others has done for me. I
will say to you all that when
you are helping others you are
always helping yourselves. If
you don't get credit for it here,
remember it is always booked
down up yonder. Since our Let
ter Box cousins have been help
ing or lending an assisting hand
to few of the suffering, those
of us that have been helping
(or rather that is the way of
mel have. sacrificed many of
their pennies that before were
spent for candies and such. And
I'm sure we all feel much better
than we would if we had spent
our few pennies as before; or, at
least, ], do. Remember the Bible
says one-tenth of your property
is the Lords. So, according to
the Bible we are always helping
God when we are helping 9TH
ers. So let US all lend a help
ing hand whenever it is possible,
and always do or give to others
with a willing heart. l did not
have any brothers old enough to
serve their country, but [ had
one brother-in-law that spent
eight months in France, and I
always felt that when I was
helping others 1 was also help
ing him. SO before I go I will
tell you my age, which is just
ten years. Hoping to see this
in print, I am, your niece,
MATTE ETHEL BASSETT.

Trails Fortune

Chicago, Aug. l5.-A hidden ro-
nance in the life of w. D. (Biq

several months ago to avoid serv-
ing sentence Of 20 years in
Leavenworth prison, as a result
of which the former leader of the

revealed Monday by Charles r.

Haywood, according to Mr..
Ciyne, married Jane Minos in
California some thirty years ago.
Later, after two children were
born, he was said. to have deserted
her. Although he never obtained
a divorce, he married again, and
then became leader Of the "Wob-
bIies," which resulted in his
arrest and conviction with other
l. w. w. officials of conspiracy
to obstruct the United States
war efforts.

Loss in Agriculture Due
to High Freight on
Hay and Grain, Claim.
Bankers, Soil Tillers
and Economists, Tes-
tify Before |. c. c.

Washington, Aug, Is. - Bankers,
economists and farmers, testifying
Monday before the interstate com
merce commission, attributed the pres
ent plight of western agriculturists in
large measure to high freight rates
on grain products and hay The test
imony was presented in a case grow
ing out of complaints against present
rates by the Kansas public utilities
commission, and joined in by 10 other
state commissions and various shipp
ers' and producers organizations The
hearing is expected to be concluded
Friday and arguments will begin i'm
mediately thereafter
F. w. Peck, director of the agricul
tural extension department of the
University of Minnesota, said that the
farmer depended upon his profit on
labor, and that grain producers now
were receiving but Is cents an hour
on the average for their labor
Would Increase Pay.
Amy decrease in freight rates would
be added directly to this 15 cents an
hour he contended. and would materi-
ally increase the profits of the farm
ers. A decrease in freight rates of two
cents bushel would represent an in
crease of 22 per cent on this profit,
he said.
J. II. Howard, president of the
American Farm Federation bureau,
said that prices on grain were placed
where the surplus accumulates, usually
in Liverpool, and that this prices less
commissions and the cost of transport
ing the grain to the points where the
prices are made. was what the pro-
ducer received. Therefore, he added,
any increase or decrease in freight
rates was felt directly by the farmer.
Commissioner Potter injected into
the hearing several times, the com
parative price received by the farmer
for his labor and that received by their
employe, and while Mr.. Peek was tes-
tifying asked that the economist pre-
pare for the commission a table COM
rising the two rates of pay.
Says Farmers "Hard Hit"
In reply to a question as to whether
the farmer, the railroad security hold
ers or the railroad employees suffered
most under present conditions, Mr.
HOWARD expressed the opinion tndt tue
farmers and the security holders were
probably hard hit"
I'VE must all share alike in the
present readjustment, and the farmer
is taking less than a reasonable reve-
nue." Mr.. Howard said, in reply to a
question as to whether the railroads
should be denied a reasonable reve-
nue..
Both Mr.. Howard and Mr.. Peck pre-
sented figures intended to show that
the actual cost of raising wheat and
hay was greater than the price for
which the commodities are being sold.
