SHARP REDUCTION
In FREIGHT RATES
DECREASE OF Is PER CENT ON
FARM PRODUCTS ON INTER
LINE MOVEMENTS
And on Stock Shipments as Well;
Movement Was Started by Mon
tana Railroad Commission to This
End Last January.

In January of this year the Mon
tana Railroad Commission commenc'
ed proceeding involving all carriers
operating in Montana, for the pur-
pose of having established lower
basis of freight rates, both class and
commodity, applicable on state traf-
| fic moving over two or more lines
of railway, and lower than the COM
bination of the separately establish
| ed local rates. Agricultural commo-
dities, the board alleged, were en-
titled to special recognition in inter-
line traffic. Where all previous eff
forts, both formal and informal, had
failed, the present effort succeeded,
after prolonged insistence of the
board. This rate victory is of major
Importance to Montana shippers.
AS result of this proceeding Mon
tana now has a comprehensive rate
adjustment on an interline basis. Eff
fective as of September /, 1928, the
following interline basis will apply:
1. Standard class rates of fourth
class and higher 80 per cent of each
local factor MISREPRESENTATION of
10 per cent.
2. Standard class rates lower than
fourth class, IS per cent of each fac
tor Involved reduction of 15 per
cent. These reductions cover every
commodity moving interstate in Mon
tana on class rates.
Additionally, the board insisted on
special treatment for commodities
shipped by farmers, ranchers and
stockgrowers. AS a result the new
interline rates will be constructed
on the basis of IS per cent of each
factor involved, for the shipment of
horses, mules, cattle, sheep, goats,
hogs, potatoes, grain and grain prod
ucts, hay and straw, and alfalfa,
ground or chopped. This is a net re-.
duction to the farmer and stockgrow-
er of 10 per cent on all interline
movements.
A careful survey of joint rate
bases in effect in every state in the
Union shows that the new adjust
ment puts Montana shippers on a
very favorable basis. Shippers de-
string special technical information
with reference to the application of
the new rates should write the board
at once.
The reductions secured in this case
were not involved in the general rate
hearing held in April and May of this
year, as the joint rate subject was not
touched upon in that hearing, and |

Ballad of the LazyJ
BY GEORGE HENRY ELLIS


(Farmers in the northern part OF
Montana are catching grasshoppers
and drying them for winter chicken
feed. One man has shipped con-
signment of the dried grasshoppers
to a large chicken ranch News
Item).
The price of steers went down so low
We could not make it pay,
And things were looking pretty blue
For the Boss of the Lazy j.
We studied in the clubhouse, till
1t seemed the only way;
To all come down to herdin' sheepi
Us boys of the Lazy j.
Till finally, we tried a plan,
We had so much good hay,
We turned herd of grasshoppers
On the range of the Lazy ].
We rode night-herd every night,
And cut to feed each day,
And watched them grow so sleek and
fat;
The pride of the Lazy J.
And so we drove them to the train,
Ten millions, Bill did say,
And every hopper in the bunch
Bore the brand of the Lazy ].
And, when at last, the check came
back
The world seemed bright and gay,
AS we toasted our heels by the winter
fires
OF the ranch of the Lazy ].

HOME COOKING LESSONS
APPEAL TO HOUSEWIVES

With the passing of much that was
romantic and picturesque about the
old pioneer days when Montana was
in its frontier epoch there has also
passed measure of hardship and pri-
walton which was endured by the
early settlers and prospectors. No
longer is the daily fare limited to
bacon, sour-dough bread, beans and
black coffee. Modern methods of
manufacturing and distributing all
kinds of foods have enabled the Mon
tanan of today to enjoy meals similar
to those eaten by residents of New
York or San Francisco.
| Not only have these manufacturers
of modern foods prepared and pack
ed their products so that they reach
the user in perfect condition but
some of them have gone further and
have provided expert advice and as
sistance so that the housewife may
know just how to use them to get
the most satisfactory results.
An example of this service is the
series of Home Cooking Lessons by
Mrs. Mary Blake of the domestic
science department of the Carnation
Milk Products company, now running
in this paper. Not only does Mrs.
Blake impart the results of tests and
experiments of her own department
IN the preparation of foods but be-
cause of the wide contact and CORES
pondence she has with women all
over the country she is able to act
as sort of clearing house, through
which their experience is passed on
to others who are interested in cook
ing.
While such departments as this are
conducted by the manufacturers from |
a commercial standpoint with a view
TO increasing the knowledge of and |
the demand for their product, they |
also have very important effect on |
home and community life by helping
the wives and mothers to prepare
better and more wholesome meals at
a less expenditure of time and labor. /
They are one of the factors which 1
helps prevent provincialism in Amer
lea, giving one section of the country
the benefit of the knowledge and ex-
perience of another.
Thus, through Mrs. Blake's depart
ment, local housewives who have 4
some favorite dish can pass their
knowledge on not only to the other
women of Montana but to the many
thousand women all over the country
with within she has correspondence
Or who are studying her cooking les
sons, while on the other hand many L
II the short cuts and favorite meth /
DDS OF women from other states, as
we'll as the practical experience of
Mrs. Blake herself, are placed at the
disposal of the cooking enthusiasts
If this community. II

Value Of Building and
Loan Associations in
Pointing Way to Thrift
By SAMUEL c. BABBLE
Secretary, Mechanics Savings and Building Loan

Building and loan associations offer
the solution 10 this problem; they
are legally restricted in their in
vestments; their purpose Is to as
sist the person Of limited means
evntually TO own his own home and
TO occupy that home while he Is
paying for It.
Building and loan associations
start many persons. and especially
young persons. on the way to thrift,
from which regular financial insti-
buttons ultimately reap a big re-
ward. The community association
sends its members into homes and
solicits accounts and start many per-
sons on the road that leads TO COM
Tort and independence in later
years. They start the habit of saw
ing and when this habit becomes
well established in the Individual.
a bank account Is one of the re-
suits that is sure TO follow.
The neighborhOOd and industrial
plant association makes q strong
appeal 10 those who have never
saved, for the reason that the funds
thus collected are invested in homes.

and he or she IS in a position TO
know at all times how honest, how
capable and how well qualified in

whom the management of their
funds have been entrusted. The as
ISOLATION member also gets a feel

the fact that as a stakeholder he
gets all his investment earns. usual

voluntarily follow. An important
point to keep in mind IS that saw
ing should be on a small scale and
continuous rather than on a scale
that will prove burdensome to the
extent of sooner or later causing the
saver TO withdraw his funds and
give up in disgust. Saving 10 be
efficient must be continuous. In
promoting thrift the big problem is
to interest and set right the many
who are not inclined 10 save. those
who think they have nothing &C
save. that Il IS difficult and do not
realize that pleasure can be derived
from saving as well as from spend
ing. An actual case OF this phase
Of the work was brought to the at
tention OF a local association MOI
long ago. A man made application
for twenty-five shares OF stock. He
said that up until two years pre-
vlous he had thought he could
meet only current obligations. He
then bought a second hand car on
which he agreed to pay twenty-five
dollars monthly for two years. He
met those monthly obligations with
out any great hardship for two
years and having learned that he
could set apart that amount month
ly and yet meet fixed expenses he
shifted this monthly payment into
building and loan shares.
This being thrift week In the
State OF Delaware there is a duty
that every thrifty person owes 10
one or more persons not aware Of
or not needing the importance OF
saving. and that is TO suggest a bit
OF kindly advance that may lead
such persons into the ways of thrift.
No normal person can be comfort
able and happy unless those about
him or her are comfortable and
happy. and while money in the bank
or building and loan association is
no guarantee of either comfort or
happiness. in a great majority OF
cases It is a powerful contributing
