GRAIN FREIGHT RATE SLASHED
J. c. C. Refuses to Modify Decision
Cut Effective December q

Washington, Nov. PA positive
order was issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission today requir-
ing railroads to put the approximately
16 per cent. decrease in hay and grain
rates into effect on or before next De-
cember 27.
The order follows up the decision
given October 20 by the commission,
which declared grain and hay rates
from the Mississippi Valley to the
Pacific Coast unreasonably high, but
did not carry compulsory orders.
The October decision instructed the
railroads to make the redution by No
vember 20, which was not done, be-
cause the railroads opened negotia-
tiOns with the commission suggesting
that 10 per cent. decrease in freight
rates on all agricultural products be
substituted for the larger decrease on
grain products and hay alone. The
commission, however, by the order is
sued today, disregarded the compro-
mise proposed and made the larger de-
creaSes on hay and grain mandatory
upon the roads.
The order issued made specific and
definite the hay and grain reductions.
The original decision said railroads
should reduce the rates on the pro-
ducts concerned by one-half of the in
creases given in 1920. The commits
sion ordered hay and grain rates be-
tween points in Mountain Pacific terri
tory not more than 1875 per cent
above the rates in effect before the
1920 increase.
Between points in the Western
group as defined in its decision where
40 per cent. increases were allowed in
1920, the commission ordered them
made effective at 20 per cent; between
other western group points the COM
mission held rates shall not exceed
17.5 per cen. above the old schedules
and between points in the Mountain
Pacific group and points in the West.
en group the increase above the ole
1920 schedules shall be held at 16 2-G
per cent.
The commission also reiterated its
decision requiring the roads to fix the
rates for coarse grain such as corr
at 10 per cent. less than the rates OF
wheat.

Mental Trouble is Not
Caused by Overstudy

Don't be afraid of thinking too
much. You can't. "The more the
mind does," said William James, "the
more it can do" A great Doctor
DR.. Boris Sidis-recently said: "In all
my practice as physician dealing
with nervous and mental diseases
l can say without hesitation that /
have not met a single case of nervous
or mental trouble caused by too much
thinking or overtstudy. What pro.
duces mental trouble is worry-emor
tional excitement-lacko of interest in
ones work"
So don't be afraid. Think. Study.
Plan. Train your mental powers.
You cannot overwork the brain as
long as you allow it time to recuper-
ate.
1t is worry that destroys the brain
worry and fear and bad feelings
and mental idleness.

WOMEN AND
THE NEWSPAPERS

"a New Jersey judge has ruled
that if woman doesn't read the pa,
pers her husband has a right to get a
DIVORCE" says the Beaumont Journal.
"But the women do read the papers.
Just let a store advertise something
that's been selling for So will be sold
for ten minutes on certain day for
S1.99, and the police reserves will bs
needed at that store when the appoint~
ed time arrives.
| MosU women are discriminating
readers. They unitedly favor sem
sible, informative, practical reading.
Advertisements are practical reading,
for they have to do with the expendi-
ture of money.
No woman who is the buyer for her
household can be a practical manager
of her department unless she keeps
herself informed as to prices. And to
do that she must read the advertise,
ments. What would we think of a
buyer for the hat department in a
haberdashery store, for example, who
never bothered to inform himself as
to quotations put out by the whole
salers and manufactures of hats :?
What would we think of the candy
buyer for department store who
was ignorant as to the ruling prices
on sugar? Or the feed buyer who
didn't keep posted as to the price of
corn? The newspaper is invaluable
to the careful and economical house
wife, for by reading it and buying in
accordance with the information
CLEANED from it she can save much
money and be sure of obtaining bet
ter values for what she spends Dali
