MUST RAISE PASSENGER RATES

State passenger fares in Iowa must
be raised to the same level as those
in prevailing interstate commerce.
the Interstate Commerce commission
ruled at Washington, d. c., Monday
It said present rates discriminate
against the interstate rates.
The commission said that the Iowa
case was similar in many respects
to the New York and Wisconsin
cases, on which similar rulings were
made. The fares involved which are
TO be raised on or before March /, in
clude a 20 per cent increase in pas
senger fares and a SO per cent in
rease in Pullman rates.
$50 long as different bases of
fares are in effect, interstate and in
terstate, and no surcharges upon
sleeping and parlor car passengers
are in effect in state traffic" the
commission said, sit is possible for
interstate passengers to buy separate
tickets for that portion of their jour
ney within the state of Iowa, the
total charges being less than those
that would accrue at the through in
terstate rates. This practice, which
it is practically impossible to pre-
vent, not only reduces passenger rev.
enue, but results in greater expense
for printing and selling tickets and
auditing, slows up operation, reduces
the amount of war tax paid by pas
sengers and reduces the amount of
sleeping and parlor car syrcharges."

HOME DESTROYED BY FIRE

Word reached Audubon recently
that the home of A. w Quinby, at
Carthage, s. D., was burned to the
ground. He wrote his mother last
Friday that the loss was total. for
he had no insurance. Part of the
honse was old, but new addition
had been built and the old part re-
modelled. In fact the new part had
not been entirely completed when II
was destroyed by fire on January
18th.
In his letter Mr.. Quinbv tells his
mother that they are getting along
fine The people of the neighbor-
hood have shown their generosity by
giving them all the assistance pos
sible. Mr.. Quinby intends to re-
build at once II the weather is favor
able, for he says all OF the carpen-
ters and neighbors have volunteered
to help them. The Carthage paper
has the following notice with refer
ence to the fire;
1.-THE farm house on the old Nick
Reed place southeast of town, now
occupied by A. w. Quinby and fam
lily. was burned to the ground about
noon Wednesday. Mr.. Quinby was
away from home at the time. and
Mrs. Quinby, who was not feeling
well was lying down. When she first
noticed the fire II had gained such
Roadway that she barely had time
to flee in her night clothes from the
burning house, not even having time
to put on her shoes. They lost all
their household effects, clothes, etc.
It's a very serious loss at this time
OF the year, and especially this year."

ELEVEN THOUSAND Topped OFF

Congressman VIM. r. Wood OF In
diana is the chairman OF the sub
committee which prepared the legis-
lative appropriation bill providing
for the salaries of most of the Fed
eral employees in Washington. In
framing that legislation he was con-
stantly reminded of the need for a
budget system like that provided in
the bill that President Wilson veto
ed last June The appropriation bill
as reported to the House reduced the
number of employees to the extent
of 10,9S5. "That is the greatest
number that we felt we were justi-
fled in reducing" said Mr.. Wood,
Gin view Of the information we had,
or the want of information. This
demonstrates the absolute necessity
of having a budget system where it
will be somebody's business to know
what the situation is. The way IL is
now, we hear only one side OF the
case the other side being absolutely
voiceless. Nobody who appeared be-
fore the committee was in opposition
to the granting of these increases.
There is 10 way of finding out-we
have no one whose business il is to
find out-and it is only by prylng
and by inference from admissions
made or by facts, which the commit
tee thinks have been kept from it
that We are able to make these de-
creases.

violators of the liquor laws of this
State and ais the United States
The total in the drag net last week
was twelve stills and ten men. Be
ginning the early part Of the week
Sheriff Gamble assisted by Rural
Policeman Peavy, Chief State Con-
stable Eichelberger and Federal Of
ficer Kelly got busy and up until Sat
urday night they had captured eleven
stills and nine men charged with op-
Grating the same. The men arrested
were Charley Bennct, Yves Edwards,
Richard Robertson and John Borrous,
all of near Summerton; next came
John Green and Willie Amos of near

CHICKENS A MENACE TO
BEAUTIFYINC TOWN

Chickens are very annoying and de-
Structive to the general public in
Manning. The attention of Council
has been called to this matter, but we
are informed by one of our Aldermen
that they are powcrlcss to control the
chicken situation as there is no State
law against chickens running at large
In other words a citizen that pays Il
tax (and we might say large tax
paYer) can get no protection from the
city in the way Of keeping other peo-
pies chickens from destroying and
running everything he plants on his
own premises. Now, we do not care
to take issue with our city fathers,
for we do believe they are in favor of
putting stop to this pubiic nuisance,
power i'm which to control the situa-
ton. 1t may be that it would b
illegal to make q specific law against
chickens running at large, us a
chicken seems to be a privileged cnar-
actcr, but we do know that where a
chicken goes on anothcrs property
and causes damage that would be
termed Il nuisance, and for informa-
ton to the public we give Webstcr's
definition of q nuisance. THAT which
ann0ys or gives trouble and vcxation,
that which is offensive or noxious.
Nuisances are public when they an
nOy citizens in general, private when
they affect individuals only" All towns
have laws against nuisances, and in
our opinion the chickens can be con
trolled under the above definition. We
respectfully ask Council to consider
this matter carefully. This is not
written altogether from selfish
standpoint, as we have beer asked by
several, if there was no law to pro-
tect ones property from being de-
stroyed by other peoples chickens. At
the same time we are constantly an
noyed with these nuisances, and there
by ask for relief.
Some people take the position that
to protect your property you must
keep the gates closed, and if the gates
are left open q chicken has the right
to walk in and destroy what you have
planted. It's poor rule which does
not work two ways, then if this be
correct, and person should leave his
front door open, n man would have
the right to go in another's house,
take an axe, and break up the furni-
turc, just because the door was left
open. The majority of our people like
to see the town beautificd. and unless
something is done about the chickens,
civic improvements will not amount
to much. The greatest organization
we have ever had in Manning in the
way of beautifying the town is the
Civic League, and we feel sure they
voice our sentiments in this matter.

MRS. RANKINE'S BODY
FOUND IN HARBOR

New York, May 3-The body of
Mrs. Annette K. Rankinc, wealthy
widow, who disappeared here on
April l., tonight was found float
ing in New York harbor, near the
South Brooklyn shore.
Identification of the body was made
by Miss Sphinx, who was Mrs. Ran
kine's nurse and companion, and
Frank Clouting, her chauffeur. Mrs.
Rankinc was the widow of William
Birch Rankinc, lawyer and founder
of the Niagara Fails Power COM
pany. Following the death of her
husband few weeks after their
marriage, Mrs. Rankinc suffered from
fainting spells and had since been in
i'll health.
On the afternoon of her disap-
pearance Mrs. Rankinc went out on
an automobile ride unaccompanicd by
her nurse. She dismissed her chauf-
feur near the Manhatten end of the
Quecnsboro bridge after having made
inquiries of him concerning the To-
cation of pawnbrokcrs shops and
adding that she intended to walk
home.
No further trace of her was found
until the marine police tonight dis
covered her body, although search
was made for her by police and pri-
vatc detectives in several states.

TO REDUCE WAGES
OF STEEL WORK ICRS

New York, May "a reduction of
about 20 per cent, in wages for day
Labor, effective May 16, and an equi-
table adjustment of other rates in
Guiding salaries, at the plant of the
United States Steel corporation was
announced today by Ebert H. Gary,
chairman of the corporation board of
directors. 1t is estimated that be-
tween 100000 and 175,OOO employees
of the corporation will be affected by
the cut.
Mr.. Gray also stated that the cor
poration had been unable to find a
practicable tbasis for the entire aban-
donment of the IL hour day or turn,
in the immediate future. He added
that the IL hour shift already had
been eliminated in certain depart
ments and that efforts would be
continued with the expectation of
entirely eliminating this feature
within the next year.
Mr.. Gray expressed the opinion
that he did not believe the corpora
tlon could satisfy the employees with
any shorter limit
During 1920 the average daily
wage of employees was 5000 against
$6.l2 in 1919, according to corpora
tion figures. Total salaries and
wages disbursed by the steel cor
poration in 1920, when the total num-
Der of employees was $4,000 aggre-
gated $5S1 ,556,925.

FEED FOR LIVESTOCK
AND SOIL IMPROVEMENT

Feed and forage crops are the limit
ing factors in livestock farming. Soil
fertility is the limiting factor lin the
productio Of feed and forage: there
fore crops that will furnish an abun-
dance Of good feed and at the same
time improve the soil are doubly pro-
fitable.
For wintering both dairy and beef
cattle, feeding steers and hogs, and
improving the soil, the velvet bean
both as pasture crop and as a grain
feed is unsurpassed by any crop
grown in the South. In combination
with corn it is specially fine for hogs.
A growth of three tons per acre,
dried crop, will contain as much nitro
gen as five hundred pounds of nitrate
Of soda. IF grazed by livestock prac-
ticaIly there will be profitable gain
in the weight of the animals and an
addition to the humus content of the
soil
Records show that eighty acres of
velvet beans carried one hundred head
Of cattle four months.
Twenty tons of velvet beans with
silage or other roughage will feed
thirty head of eight hundred pound
steers for one hundred and twenty
days.
The early speckled beans seem to
be the most valuable for feed on ac-
count of the high percentage of beans
to the pod and the ease with which the
cattle can masticate the thin hulls.
While many. like the bunch bean be-
cause Of its habit Of growth, I believe
that more feed and more hun,Iis will
