PETITIONS FILED

Fargo, July 29.-Petitions asking
for suspension Of new increased
freight rates on grains, scheduled to
come into effect On Aug. 10, and
hearing of their case, have been for
warded to the interstate commerce
commission by several organizations
in North Dakota. The increased
rates have been established by the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern
and Minneapolis, St. Paul e. Sault
Ste Marie railways.
The petitions have been sent to
Washington on behalf Of the Farm.
ers' Grain Dealers association, Far
80 Commercial club, Interstate Seed
and Grain company, Manche ster Bis
cult company, Magill and company,
and the North Dakota Farm Bureau
Federation, N. f. Williams, traffic
commissioner of the Fargo CONNER
cial club, and Karl Knox Gurtner,
attorney Of Washington.
Rates Unjust
This step follows the laying of
complaints by the above organiza-
tions against the present rates,
which are claimed to be unjust and
too high. 1t is also taken to ensure
some measure of relief from an in.
crease in the present rates such as
has been asked by the railways. ac-
cordine to Mr.. Williams The in
crease asked for amounts to- IL
cents on flax and millet seed, one
cent on wheat, flour, corn, oats and
coarse grains, all between Fargo and
Chicago, and l2 cents on flour
from Beardstown, Ill.,, to Fargo.
These rates are per 100 pounds in
carload lots, according to the first
petition.
In the secO,d application rates for
which suspension is asked affect
grains between points in North Da-
kota on the one hand. and points in
Minnesota and South Dakota on the
other. also from Fargo to Minneapo-
lis, st. Paul, Duluth and Superior,
Wis. The increases in this latter
case are from l-2 cent to 1-2 per
100 pounds.
Increase Unwarranted
The petitions state that the in.
crease is wholly unwarranted and
that no showing of any kind has
been made by the northwestern lines
that would warrant such action, and
that the present rates are even un-
just, unreasonable and dlScrlmlnatO tOry
as compared with grain rates from
Minnesota points to the same ter
minal markets.
The statement that immigrants of
high type are now going to Canada,
owing to the greater latitude allowed
them by the Canadian railways, is
also made.
Included in the applications are
statements to the effect that North
Dakota is the principal flax produc.
ing state; the second largest wheat
producing state, and that corn, oats,
rye and barley are also grown in
large quantities, making the state
one of the largest customers Of the
northwestern lines in the matter OF
grain shipments.
Carriers Not Shown Cause
1t is also stated that the railways
have not shown that present rates
are too low or that the proposed
| ones are just. The Hock-Smith reso.
luton of the United States congress
is mentioned as being in direct con
flict with granting the increases ir
such manner.

THE following is the dedication
that Jerome X. Jerome wrote to
his book "Stageland": "To that highly
highly respectable but unnecessarily
retiring individual Of whom we hear
so much but see so little, The Earnest
Student of the Drama
Max Adeler, author Of "Out Of the
Hurly-Burly," writes in that work: II
resolved 70 dedicate this book TO
humorist who has too little fame to
the most delicious, because the most
unconscious, humorist; to that widely
scattered and multitudinous comedian
who may be expressed in the concrete
as the intelligent compositor."
"Take it all around" says Mark
Twain, in a predatory note to "Rough-
ing It." there is quite a good deal of
information in the book. 1 regret this
very much, but really it could not be
helped; information appears to stew
out Of me naturally, like the precious
ottar Of roses out Of the ottar. Some
times it has seemed to me that / would
give worlds il could retain my facts;
but it cannot be done. The more /
calk up the sources, and the tighter
/ get, the more l leak wisdom
Bill Nye's dedication of his book,

wife, who has courteously and heroical-

up and agitated successfully the flag

has courageously held my coat through
this tr7ing ordeal, this volume is af-'
fectionately inscribed by the author"
To ascertain the age OF a horse, IL
not too old, it is usual to examine its
teeth. TO tell the age OF a fish, no
matter how long it has existed, you
look into its ear.
In the internal ear Of fish there
is a little bony pocket. In this pocket
is a tiny atone called an otholith,
which rolls about as the fish tips this
way and that and so helps it know
il it is right side up. As the fish
crowns older, says o writer in English
Mechanics" the otholith increases in
size and the age of the fish may be
determined from the dimensions Of this
curious little object.

Their plea must be judges on a strictly
practical basis.
Can or cannot the unframed woman
over 80 make good?
Sometimes she can make good.
Many a woman has started at 80 and
adapted herself successfully to the
business world.
But its a hard drag and the odds
are Overwhelmingly against her. The
best that most women over 80 can
hope to attain is a clerical position

She hasn't sufficient self-control.
Self-control didn't matter greatly
when, for the major part Of the day,
she dominated. She could cry or fret,
be lazy or irritable, postpone and abb

can't do that in the business world.
She has acquired the wrong perspec-
tive. She sees things too personally.
