made public decision revising trans-
portation rates. effective July /. The
reductions vary from IA per cent to
I12.5 per cent, and are intended to net
the railroads a return upon valuation
of 5.75 instead of six per cent.
The rate decision knocks about s50s-s

Based on d six per cent return on a
valuation of s1s.9OO, 100000 the rail-
roads earned a revenue Of $1.134.000.-
900.
Based upon a 5.75 per cent return Of
the same valuation as ordered by the
commission the return will be s1.0S6,-
900, 600. 8 =5s5 80 -
Returns from passenger fares are
not included in this calculation as the
commission did not change the pre-
vailing system OF charges.

JIM DOOEEY GETS
RED BUSH BRIDE
Advertisement in NEWS
Brings Bevy of Bellies
to Choose From.

It paws to advertise Again this has
been demonstrated and on test that
would seem severe.
Jim Dooley, who advertised in this
newspaper last January for WIFE
was overwhelmed with applicants and
finally chose Miss Osborne, of Red
Bush, comely maid of age 27. They
were married at Paintsville and went
at once to Mr.. Dooley's home in Ohio.
Jim really suffered from an EN-
bs.rrassment of riches as a result of
the advertisement, which accounts for
the delay in the happy elimination.
Forty five replies went to him from
the Charley postoffice alone and this
fact would justify guess of more than
hundred from an places. By pro-
cess of elimination Jim finally reduced
the lineup to three of the most de-
sirable. Then, after due deliberation
and closer inspection he pinned the
blue ribbon on Miss Osborne and
changed her name to Dooley.
Our congratulations are extended to
Jim, and the bride certainly has our
best wishes.
In this connection we believe 1t
would be interesting to publish again
the advertisement that has made two
souls so extremely happy:

AT THE TOP.

(The following poem by Edgar
A. Guest was clipped out of the Los
Angeles Examiner by F. NJ. Perkins,
candidate for Associate Judge Of
the County Court, and handed us
for publication. 1t is, in our
opinion, one of the best poems the
celebrated writer ever composed
Editor Missouri Herald.)
Whenever you see someone at the top.
Don't imagine he got there by luck.
For back of his glory lies many a
story
OF battle and struggle and pluck;
He may seem TO be taking things easy
today
And lodging the trials which irk,
But the years of his past, from the first
to the last,
Were a constant succession of work
Whenever you see someone crowned
Don't fancy he won it by chance;
Though he's walking today on an
easier way,
And you cannot behold with glance
The scars of his battle. just keep this
in mind
Life's laurels don't go to the shirk;
And If you knew his life's history
through
You'd know that he once had to
work
Success doesn't come to the indolent
hand.
With busy men life is concerned;
Be the man who he may, he will find
on the way
That it's prizes all have to be earned.
SO whenever you gaze on a leader of
men.
Up on top where the glory is fair.
You can know with his luck there
were courage and pluck
You can bet that he worked to ge.
there.

METHOD OF PAYING BONUS

In view of the fact that there Is
so much misunderstanding and con-
sequent dissatisfaction concerning
higher numbered claims being paid
than lower ones, We believe it would
be good idea to tell just how claims
are being handled, which is as fol-
lows
When claim is received, it first
IS numbered and card bearing the
same number is rrailed TO the appli-
cant. Then 1t is registered and Is
filed, awaiting its turn for the exam-
liners. So far. there is no break H.
the serial number. When a claim
goes to the examiner and found cor
rect, 1t Is sent to the Commission for
approval, and when approved, is
vouchered and check covering 1t is
sent out When no federal record Of
a claim is available it is put in the
suspense tray and Washington cor
respondent is asked for record
Sometimes, in addition to this, tho
applicant is asked to send his di +.
charge, or a copy of 1t, in order to
expedite, as 1t usually takes from
four to eight weeks to get retor i
from Washington. When the appli-
cant has failed to answer the ques-
tions properly, or has made other
mistakes in his claim, 1t is returned
to him for correction. All Of these
claims are placed in the suspense file
and Just as quickly as the necessary
data is furnished it takes its place
ahead Of all claims of a higher num-
ber.
In view of the fact that fully so
per cent of the claims are wrong in
some way, one can readily under
stand why claim No. 10000 might
be paid and claim No. 5000 is held
up. 1t would hardly be good sense
or efficient management to hold up
every claim numbered higher than
5000 until the data Is complete OIL
that particular claim. and for that
reason many higher numbers are
paid while lower numbers are wait
ing. One is assured that every man
holding claim that is less than
100000 will be surely be paid or re-
jected, and they will not help mat
ters a bit by writing and telegraph
ing and bothering with pleas TO-
hurrying them up.
1t is expected to complete the
work not later than September first,
but of course this is problematical
During the month of June little
better tina 10000 claims will be
paid.
