SHARP REDUCTION
IN FREIGHT RATES
DECREASE OF Is PER CENT ON
FARM PRODUCTS ON INTER-
LINE MOVEMENTS
And on Stock Shipments as Wen;
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 a proceeding involving all carriers
operating in Montana, for the pur-
pose of having established a lower
basis of freight rates, both class ano
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 a result of this proceeding Mon
tana now has a comprehensive rate
adjustment on an interline basis. Eff
fective as of September 1, 1928, the
following interline basis will apply:
1. Standard class rates of fourth
class and higher go 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 Is 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
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 Is 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
the 5000 page transcript in that case
has not been finished by the report
ers.

Ballad of the LazyJ
BY GEORGE HENRY ELLIS

a
(Farmers in the northern part OF
Montana are catching grasshoppers
and drying them for winter chicken
feed. One man has shipped a 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 ].
Till finally, we tried a plan,
We had so much good hay,
We turned a herd of grasshoppers
On the range of the Lazy J..
We rode a 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 J..
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 J..

HOME COOKING LESSONS
APPEAL TO HOUSEWIVES

With the passing of much that vas
romantic and picturesque about the
old pioneer days when Montana was
in it's frontier epoch there has also
passed a 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
SClGHCG uGpdIlul6nt vi LuG OdIIldIlOn
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-
of the wide contact and cores
pondence she has with women ali
over the country she is able to act
as a 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 a 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 n of the factors which
helps prevent provincialism in Amer
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
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 whim she has correspondence
or who are studying her cooking les
sons, while IN the other hand many
OF the short cuts and favorite meth
DDS of women from other states, as
well as the practical experience OF
MRS. Blake herself, are placed at the
disposal of the cooking enthusiasts
of this community.

FRIEDA'S
FOLLIES
BY Nj. E.

There had been a rare bit of gossip
About her
But her fiance was yet in ignorance
He, poor fellow, had had a hard time
Deciding between the two bellies of the
season
He at last picked her
Some women just naturally
Perturb one
She had always missed seeing me
Upon all occasions
am such a chatterbox
And I hope, like a mariner,
hnow my course -
To reach certain port
And he was the port
Believe me the gossip
Made safe landing
But 1t did not alter
The wedding, the church or the groom
The only change that was made
Was the brides
