is profiteering in farm products. The
conditions shown are outrageous. The
farmer, whose money is invested in
the land upon which the cabbage is
grown, his labor and interest for a

for hauling it to Chicago. The rail-

A romantic interest not attained be-

The love note in the picture took on

feminine role, declared that she had a
guilty feeling every time Tom had to
do a love scene with her.

HARDING WANTS TO KNOW

| IlAItJlING Wtal>lO IL h\OW
President Harding has a novel prac-
tice (for a president) of getting ut the
facts by personal investigation. While
Wilson broke many ~precedents by 60.
ing before the congress to read his
message and doing other Stunts
that were rather spectacular, Hard
ing has the faculty of going quietly
about his work of getting at the facts
without any fuss and feathers" but
in the most effective way.
The interstate commerce commits
sion has granted increased rates to
the railroads ON many occasions and
recently refused to grant a reduction.
Wages have been ordered reduced 10
per cent but the recent increas, of
% to 40 per cent in freight rates still
stands. Harding wants to know why.
He did not appoint a high salaried
commission to Investigate. He went
after the facts himself. He VISITED
the interstate commerce commission
and asked the commissioners why
rates cannot be reduced when
of railroad employees, which
the railroads claim is the OF all
woes, have been reduced. ,
1t is likely that the visit OF tho,
resident to the interstate commerce
commission will do more to get ac-
ion on freight rate reduction than
move that could nc made. Aard-
ng has the appointing and removal of
he commissioners in his power The
Unprecedented visit of the president
the commission and the asking of
Joint blank questions must have dis
oncerted the commissioners, for they
