Pierre, Sept. 27-Recently rail-
way lines serving the potato produc-
ing districts in Idaho and Colorado
made a reduction of 90 cents per
100 pounds in freight rates on po-
tatoes shipped to various eastern
districts, including Missouri river
markets, Omaha, Kansas City, Sioux
City and other points.
According to the South Dakota
board of railroad commissioners, no
corresponding reductions were made
by the railway lines serving the
states of Minnesota, North and South
Dakota, with a result that potato
producers in these northwestern
states were unable to compete with
the western shippers except AT SUBJ
stantial sacrifice in prices.
The western reductions were to
have expired September 30 How
ever, advice was received of the in
tention of extending the reductions
for period of 60 days. On COM
plant of the shippers, railroad com
missions of North and South Dakota

mission, asking that corresponding
reductions be required from the
roads in these three states or re-
fusal to continue the reductions TO
western shippers
The decision of the interstate
body with respect to the request has
not yet been received.

come one of the best black bass
lakes in the state, providing the
sportsmen will not attempt TO fish

Mr.. Purcell took 500 two-year-
old bass from the hatchery on the
fair grounds and placed them in the
lake. The black bass lays between
10000 and 10000 eggs annually,
which will mean that these 500 bass
will lay over 100000 eggs next
year. 1t will be three years yet be-
fore the bass placed in the lake will
be of good size, while next years
Matching will make splendid game
fishing in about five years.

IMPROVEMENT NOTE
IN BUSINESS WORLD
COOLER WEATHER AND GAINS
In GRAIN PRICES GIVING
LIVELY TONE TO NATIONS
TRADE.

New York, Sept. 27-Bradstreet's
says;
Improvement is the key word in
the general trade and industrial sit
uation The use of this term being
more widespread than at any time
since early last spring. Cooler
weather, encouraging sales of heavy
apparel; strike settlement, benefit
ing business an dindustry in coal
mining an diron and steel centers;
reaching of a final decision on the
tariff question and activity in build
ing, with all that this latter implies
in the way of stimulating sales of
lumber, brick, hardware, paints and
allied lines, were all cited as causes
for the better tone of jobbing trade
advices, again at retail and a better
pace in industry.
A rally in grain prices, by which
wheat, corn and oats advanced to the
highest levels of the month, this lat
ter being mainly attributable to war
talk, has been a slight additional
stimulant. Then, too. the number
of advances reported recently in
many commodities, increases have
exceeded declines for three weeks
past and the food index has risen
for seven weeks past, have appar-
emily acted as spur to some buy
ing, although the effect of this has
been more especially notable i'm
wholesale and jobbing lines.

Finds Gold Ring in
Pair Army Trousers

Hudson, Sept. 27-Lloyd Jones,

Gently, purchased pair of army
trousers at an army store. Upon his
return to Hudson he donned the
trousers and in one of the pockets
found gold ring. On the inside
of the ring had been engraved the
words:
From Mother to George; Dec. 81,
1917"
An effort may be made to locate
the soldier who during the war was
the owner of the trousers, so the
ring, which must have been highly
priced by him, being from his moth
er, can be returned to him.
