new LAWS ADVOCATED
Commission Tells Congress Prac-
tice Should Be Forbidden.

Washington - Legislation requiring
operation of public terminal grain ele-
vators by railroad companies was re-
commended to Congress by the Fed
,eral Trade commission, in a report on
terminal grain marketing, which also
urged improved banking facilities for
the movement Of grain in the North
west. Elimination of the financing OF
commission houses by terminal eleva-
tors. improvement in the methods of
making up cash quotations and the
elimination or reduction Of so-called
insurance charges levied on country
shippers at Duluth, were among other
recommendations.
Regarding the practice of "scalping
cash grain, the commission declared
that "as conducted at Minneapolis, 1t
has been to a large degree at the ex-
pense of the consignment business and
OF the consigners, and recommended
that the employment OF the practice by
firms or individuals in any way con-
nected with the cash grain commits
sion business should be forbidden.
Some form of governmental super
vision of privately-issued country
price reports of wide circulation, 1t
was further asserted, should De
adopted.

Certain parts OF South America are
the habitat Of a large spider that
weaves its web around the telephone
wires strung on the crossarms Of poles.
The spider Is enormous and it's web Is
heavy and Of a thick texture.
The telephone companies were much
perplexed when In the late evenings
and nights frequent short circuits tied
up their lines. After a time they dis
covered that the trouble arose from
the heavy spider webs. When the sun
was out. the webs were dry and there
was no trouble; but at night when the
webs were covered with dew, short cir
cults occurred. The only remedy Ii
constant brushing away OF the webs
from the telephone wires.

This IL question that has often
been asked. but the explanation IL
simple.
Rays Of light. unless they enter the
eye, are not visible. Therefore the
rays from the sun that pass by the
earth are not visible to anybody on
the earth unless they are reflected
back into the eye from some opaque
substance In the sky. ~ the moon,

In addition to the direct rays OF the

AT THE STATION.
Copyright. io2s. by Edgar a. Guest.

Down at the station they used to wait
All lined up at the railroad gate
Mother and father and cousin Jane,
Searching the track for the coming train,
Grandpa and Grandma and all the pack,
Waiting TO welcome a wanderer back.
Then never one of us went away
In the summer time, for few weeks stay,
But when he sure of n rousing din
And a greeting warm when the train pulled in;
Oldest to youngest would be in wait
TO welcome him at the station gate.
I've stood in the line myself and know
The splendid thrill of that fine hello"
And the laughter glad and the rush to be
The first of that anxious flock to
The wanderer quitting the railroad train,
Safe and sound in the town again.
I've been the traveller too, and
Have seen the light in the mothers eye,
And the fathers smile. and the brothers grin
And his rush to carry my suit case in,
And know the depth of the joy it means
To play part in those station scenes.
Now the line has thnned and there's few to wait
To watch for me at the railroad gate.
But know day in the distant years
When my soul in the other realm appears
The oldest to youngest once more I'll see
Eagerly waiting to welcome me.
