kets in competition with more favor
ably situated regions.
He pointed to potato shipments
for the first six months Of 1921 as
proof of his assertion. Freight
charges On these, he said, ccn-umed
9O.7p er cent of the final selling price
Of the potatoes. Fiftysix per cent
Of the final selling price of hay ship
ped in the same period went for
freight, he asserted and 16.9 per cent
of grain prices went the same way.
Every bushel of grain shipped now
costs the farmer 20 cents, Mr.. Davis
continued, adding that if wheat sold
this fall at terminals for 81 it would
mean 71-cent grain at shipping points
which he said was ruinous to the pro-
ducer.
Railroads, if they fail to grant
reduced freight rates, will be direct
ly responsible for the agricultural
loss in this state, Mr.. Davis charg-
ed. He asserted that hundreds Of
farmers had been induced to come
here and engage in production
through the efforts of immigration
departments of the various railroad:
and he quoted what he said was ex
travagant statements in persuadinG
: farmers to come here.
Commissioner Statement.

'In terms of freight, Montana

markets than Alaska. We are righ

Grafton is removed. The privilege ac-
corded the railroads of fixing their
own value on the railroads calls to my
mind the situation which Lee Den
mis-, chairman of the board of rail
road commissioners, described to me.
A street railway company in Mon
tana represented its book value as
So, 100000. The railroad commits
sion then had occasion to make a
careful appraisal of the actual val
ue of the property of this company
and found it to be $125,000. If the
railroads of the country are trying
anything like that percentage of wat
cred stock, then the Esch Cummins
aw perpetrates a gigantic fraud up
on the American people.
Railroad Responsibility
"To all these things the railroads
operating in Montana may answer:
IF the farmers of Montana cannot
produce, pay our freight rates and
! sell in competition with other sections
of the country and the world, then let
them get out of business It is pro.
per to call to the attention of the rail
roads the tremendous responsibility
that they have assumed in their pas

IN JOYCE CASE
New Witness Said to Admit
Relations With Lumberman.

CHICAGO. June 2O.-A new witness.
known as the Mystery Girl" Of Califor-

to Chicago to aid Peggy Joyce IN her
suit for $4,000 monthly alimony and
100000 counsel fees from J. Stanley
joyce. lumber king. This girl. it is re
ported. preceded Charlotte Johnson in
the affections of Joyce, and for some
years past has been living in fashionable
circles of the West.
Charlotte Johnson, who is now Mrs.
Frank Gordon, of Battle Greek, Mich,
is here to testify and defend herself
against the efforts of Peggy's lawyers
to connect her in an unpleasant way
with Joyce's past. According TO Char
Iotte's friends, she was the nice girl
in Joyce's life. but Peggy's attorneys
have endeavored to give another impress
SION
The California girl is declared TO have
signed a statement revealing her rela-
lions with Joyce, which are not of a
complimentary character and is said to
be willing TO repeat her story on the
witness stand.
Hearing of the Joyce case is to be re-
sumed Wednesday. Judge SABBATH has
indicated he will decide then whether
Peggy is to be brought into court.

INSECT MENACE
TO SHADE TREES
Spraying of Trees Necessary
to Kill Pest.
Snecial to The Times.


LAFAYETTE, Ind, June 20.-Reports
| received by the Agricultural Experiment
Station at Purdue University indicate
great abundance of the cottony maple
scale which is menacing the shade trees,
especially hard and soft maple, box elder,
linden, etc, in the northern half of In
diana. Stringent measures, necessitating
the spraying of trees, must be taken to
destroy this insect. says J. J. Davis, head
of the entomology department.
The insect ~ conspicuous because OF
the large cottony masses produced, the
infested at the present time resembling
strings Of pop eorn. These cottony
masses contain thousands of eggs from
which hatch the young that winter over
as partly grown scales on the twigs.
Spraying with a miscible oil, one part
to fifteen parts Ct water, in the spring
before the buds break is probably the
most effective remedy. Care should be
taken to make the application thorough
and yet not permit the oil to run down
and soak the soil at the base since the
trees are sensitive to the action of oils A
summer spray Of kerosene emulsion ap-
piled when the young are Matching, that
is during June and July, is of value and
in serious infestahOns where the dormant
miscible oil spray was not made 1t should
be used. The summer spray must be
made with great care as 1t is difficult to
make thorough applications when the
trees are in foliage.
A 10 per cent emulsion used for a sum
mer spray is prepared as follows: Dis
solve one pound of common soap, or half
| pound Of whale oil soap in one gallon
| of hot water Add two gallons Of kerosene
while the soap solution is still hot and
then thoroughly churn for five or ten
| minutes or until e presents the appear
! ance Of thick cream and no longer sep
arates on standing b. pumping the mix
| ture back into itself with a spray pump.
| To this add seventeen gallons OF water
and thoroughly churn. Soft water must
| be used.
| another summer stray which Is effec-
tive against recently Matched scale Is
on, pound of fish oil soap which is dis
sol ed in four gallons Of water. to which
one ounce of Blackleaf 40 is added
Spraying must be thorough as the
young must be hit with the sprays, al
Of which are contact insecticides.
The cottony maple scale should b'
Matching within the next week or tive
and summer spray applications should b'
made after the majority Of the scale have
Matched.

DECISION FAVORS
CLOSED SHOP MEN
Rail Labor Boards Decision
Union Victory.

CHICAGO, June ZO.-Advocates of the
closed shop won a victory before the
United States Rail Labor Board here
today.
The board announced that representa-
tiTes of the majority of men in one craft
may draw up working agreements which
viii affect all members. Since unionists
are in the vast majority, this is q ruling
in their favor, it was interpreted.
The decision was handed down in an
answer to q query by these employees Of
the Missouri & Kansas Railroad and the
Wichita Falls & Northwestern steamship
clerks, freight handlers, express EN-
ployes and station workers. Employees
are engaged all over the county in draw
ing up a new set Of working agreements,
as ordered by the railroad board.
The new working agreements are to be
formulated in conferences with railroad
managers.
The rail boards latest ruling means
that only union representatives may sit
IN and act. speak for all employees.
Representatives Of twenty of the largest
railroads in the country appeared before
the board today to ask that they be in
cluded in the recent u per cent wage
cut ruling of the board.
The wage cut affected only some of the
railroads who threw their cases before
the board as a test.
These are some of the roads now ask
ing to be included:
Michigan CenaraI, Erie, Big -Four and
Illinois Central
The wage slash made in the previous
ruling is effective July 1 and affects shop
employees, common laborers and main
tenance Of way workers.
The appearance of the representatives
Of the roads is considered a mere formal
ity, as there is no doubt in railroad cir
cles but what their request win be com
piled with.
