Fargo, N. D., Dec. 5.-Fargo is
nearer the point of consumption than
st. Paul on freight originating in
Chicago and destined for use in points
west of here and Therefore. as matter
of economy the carload rate from
Chicago to Fargo should diminish

Mr.. Gartner is counsel for the Fargo
tuted by that body to secure equaliz-
ed freight rates into Fargo.

licitor for the Northern Pacific rail
road as chief defense counsel begal
cross examination of Mr.. Williams.
Before closing direct testimony Mr..
Williams also declared California and
Montana rates to be discriminatory to

taken back across the river to Fargo
where the train is made up before 1t
again crosses the river and travels
east. = -
w. p. Chestnut, secretary of the

that Fargo has lost chances to secure

discriminatory rates and that the

here was kept from carrying out q
plan for assembling automobiles at
this point through the same reason.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
Lesson No. 68.

Lesson NO. %.
REMEMBER THAT Discharging
the storage battery to a point OF
exhaustion tends to cause sulpha-
ton of the plates and shOrtens the
useful life of the battery.
Telephone receivers are delicate
instruments and your scientifically
inclined friend who places his little
finger in the hole Of the receiver cap
in order to feel the diaphragm vi
brate may injure the diaphragm
and lessen the sensitivity Of the re-
ceivers.
Condenser knobs should be turned
slowly and not "twirled" Careless
manipulation Of the knobs may
cause the movable plates to hit the
stops at either end or the scale and
result in bent plates and short cir
cults.
The receiving set is not better
than the poorest connection in it. A
single poor contact in any part of
the receiving system may render
the entire set imperative.
The negative or minus side of the
plate of "B" battery should never
be connected to the plate of the
vacuum tube. Unless the positive
or plus side of the battery is con-
nected to the plate, no signals will
be heard in the telephone receiver.
The plate battery should never be
connected to the terminals of tho
receiving set marked "A battery"
SO. volts" or "Filament." This
