people of the community beating in

that sane and kindly advice on local.
state, national and world problems
advice that is the result of thought
and study beside the hearthstoneS OF
the nation, and not in the selfish marts
of trade or the brightlights of city
~frivOlity. 1t goes with the influence
of a known and respected member of
the communicates editor back of its
every word, its every opinion. 1t goes
to a people, the people of the country
communities and the farms, that are
more capable of thinking along sane,
unselfsh and practical lines than are
those who are surrounded by the
selfish and many times evil influences
of the large cities.
But the influence of the country
newspaper goes far beyond the COM
munity in which it is printed. Ma
tiOnal legislators in the halls of con-
gress realize that this influence is a
power to be reckoned with. That
when the country press speaks in uni

POOR MAN

A clergyman in a midland town
just before the service, was called to
the vestibule to meet a couple who
wanted to be married. He explained
that there wasn't time for the cere-
mony.
But" said he, "if you will be
seated, l will give you ar opportunity
at the end of the service to come for

The couple agreed, and at the pro-

in the holy bond of matrimony please
come forward?"
Thereupon, thirteen ONE and one
man proceeded to the altar.

intended to contribute when the plate
was passed. CONSERVATION reigned
when the minister announced that this
particular Sunday an effort was to be
be made to raise the mortgage, and
asked every member of the congrega-

During the prayer, the Scots held
a whispered consultation as to the
solution of their dilemma and reach

Harris Seeks Out
On Freight Rates
Interstate Commerce Commission
Offers Little Encouragement
Leader News Bureau,
4th National Bank Bllg..


ATLANTA, March IL. (SpeciaD =
U. S. Senator VIM. J. Harris of Geor-
gia, according to news received in
Atlanta today, has asked again the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
consideration of the matter of reduc-
ton in freight and passenger rates.
In the letter which Senator Harris
wrote the Commission he discussed
primarily the very high rates on fruits
and vegetables from Georgia to cas-
tern markets, particularly peaches,
watermelons and vegetables.
Senator Harris told the Commission
that the present prohibitive rates
would mean ruin to Georgias indus
tries which have already suffered be-
cause of the depression in prices on
agricultural products. In December
Senator Harris and the Commission
exchanged letters concerning the high
freight and passenger rates, and refer
ence is made to that discussion in the
letter received today by the Georgia
Senator from Chairman Edgar E.
Clark, of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Mr.. Clark says:
Il wish it were possible for me to
write encouragingly in reponse to your
letter of the 3rd instant, but | cannot
see what | can add to what | said in
my letter to you of December % on
the same subject, to wit, the probabil-
lty of reduction in freight rates.
The situation is not so good now
as it was in December. There has
been quite substantial falling off in
general traffic. The average opera
ting ratio of the railroads of the
United States is something over 90.
That means that for every dollar that
the railroad earn they pay out in op-
Grating expenses more than 90 cents.
Due to the narrow margin between
revenue and operating expenses and
fixed charges and good many are not
earning their operating expenses. I'm
der these circumstances it is difficult
to lind an argument in favor of reduc-
ton OF rates unless in instances in
which it can be shown that the rates
are sitting the traffic and that lower
rates which would still be compen-
satory would effect movement from
which there would be some return
Il have just been going over some
figures on the shipments of fruits and
vegetables from Florida for the season
OF l920-2l as compared with the sea-
son OF 1920 These figures show

that from November LIST, 1919, to Feb
rutry %, 1920, both dates inclusive,
the number of carloads of fruits and
vegetables shipped from Florida by
rail was 26,S86 as compared with 28,-
420 carloads during the same period in
the season of 1920-21."
1t is contended by Senator Harris
that the railroads and the public are
both suffering from the very high
rates, which would be partially re1iev-
ed if rates were reduced and traffic
would naturally increase, providing
more revenue for the roads in the ag-
gregate than now afforded.

~Red RAD to a Bull"


II is probable that the expression y
red rag to a BULL" signifying some
thing which arouses wrath, has been
imported from Spain, where red cloths
are used In the bull rings, in order to
infuriate the animals before the mata-
dor makes his appearance. But bulls
are not the only animals affected by
red. Many horses, especially stations,
are irritated by red; and turkey-cocks
attack wearers of red most ferocious-
ly, as do ganders. Physiologically,
red is a color which irritates and
fatigues the optic nerves; and SO 1t
arouses temper and produces a Quap
Selsome frame of mind.
Proper Ambition.
It Is very sad for a man to make
himself servant to thing, his man
hood all taken out Of him by the hy-
draulic pressure of excessive business.
I should not like to be merely great
doctor, a great lawyer, great minis
ter, a great politician should like to
be also something of a man.-Theodore
