COMMISSION TO
DECIDE ON RAIL
hike IN FALL
Clash Marks Preliminary
Hearing on IS Per Cent
Increase.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, July 24-Deci-
sion Of the interstate commerce
commission on the railroad IS per
cent freight increase plea now is
expected early in october.
AS the shippers prepare to pre-
sent their opposition in hearings
beginning Aug. 10, they are anxious
that their stand shall not be inter-
preted as an effort to block the way
OF the carriers toward better times.
An illustration of this was fur
nished in an hitherto unreYealed in
cident which occurred during the
hearings on the railroads side Of tie
case.
Fairman Dick. New York invest
ment banker, was the witness. j. F..
Finerty, representing shippers of
copper, lead, tin and zinc, was ques-
tioning him.
Wrangle Half Hour
Finerty was trying to get Dick to
admit that the commission, If con-
WINGED higher rates would not bring
greater earnings to the roads, should
partially deny the general increase.
They wrangled for thirty min
dtes. The witness gestured with
blue handkerchief he was using to
wipe a perspiring brow. The men
seemed ready to fly at each others
thorats.
IF I was convinced" Dick said,
rthat the regulating authority had
kried to realize fully the situation
End made whatever qualifications
were unavoidable, my confidence
would be greatly restored and
would spread the news broadcast to
my clients"
Arguments Over Nation
It developed after their exhibit
tion OF the morning that the men
went to luncheon together and dis
cussed the question In a friendly
manner.
The shippers argument will be
heard in Washington, San Fran
cisco, Kansas City. Dallas, Salt Lake
City, Atlanta, Chicago. Portland,
Ore, and some New England city.
The hearings probably will be con-
cluded by the second week in Sep
TENDER. Oral arguments will be
heard later in that month and a
few weeks later the decision will
be rendered.

CHURCH SURVEY
TO Be MADE BY
LOCAL CHAMBER

Wednesday. November IS, is the
date which has been chosen by the
Ell Centric ministerial association
ter church survey of the city &C
cording to Robert Hays, manager
Of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, which is sponsoring the re-
ligious canvass. The chamber staff
is districting the city in order that
each church may take a definite
territory for which it will be re-
sponsible and the members of the
church will then divide that terri
tory into blocks, each worker TAX
ing one city block in which to make
/ house to house canvass.
The canvassers will have cards to
fill out at each house, giving name,
address, number in family, church
membership in FL Centric or else
where or church preference and
Sunday school attended by the
children of the family. In addition
they will have mot at home cards
giving name and address of resi-
dent with a notation of where and
at what time he can be reached.
With the entire canvass carefully
planned in advance by the cham
Der of commerce staff, it is expected
that the survey calls can be COM
pleted in one day, and in many
sections will be completed by We'd
nesday noon.
The work of these local canvass
ers will be greatly facilitated if the
residents of FL Centre are prepared
to give the information desired
when the church members call at
the individual houses and in this
connection Mayor H. w. Fawcett
has made the following request of
the people of FL Centre: "On be-
half OF the city of FL Centre would
ask that these canvaSSerS be given
every consideration. The success of
our churches is very vital to FL Cen
tres welfare and the important
work which these canvaSserS are
undertaking is of very great value
to our community
When the canvass is completed
the cards will be sorted according
TC clurcQ membership VI prefer tlICc
and turned over to the pastors OF
the individual churches. A similar
canvass was conducted under the
sponsorship of the FL Centre Cham
Der Of Commerce several years ago
and it was of great assistance in
building up the church attendance
and helping the ministers of the
city make personal contacts with
local residents, especially newcoms
ers. 1t is expected that the forth
coming church canvass will have
an equally satisfactory result in
helping new residents become &C
auainted and building up the local
churches, so necessary to the well
fare of the city.

r. j. Little, game warden, at the FL
Centre Chamber CT Commerce

Coed news has been received at

district freight and passenger agent
Of the Southern Pacific company.
announced that the Southern Pa
cific Company, through his efforts,
is throwing open all Unbiased South
ern Pacific lands fringing the Sal
ten Sea to the general public for
hunting during the duck season.
The days for shooting in Imperial
Valley are so limited this year that.
according to Donohue, his company
is going to grant hunting privileges
to Imperial Valley residents and
their friends from outside cities.
Dcnohue or the local agents of the
Southern Pacific Company, will issue
hunting permits to all who apply
fer them and these permits Will
grant the holder the right to shoot
on all Unbiased Southern Pacific
land in the Salton Sea area. AS
very little land is leased, practical
~ all the odd numbered sections
in that locality will be open to per-
NIT holders.
The Southern Pacific Company, s.
stated Donohue to Hays, feels that
it is an Imperial Valley institution
and its desire is always to cooper
ate in everything for the betterment
Of Cur communal life here. We in
tend to file criminal complaints
against unauthorized squatters on
Southern Pacific lands who endeaY-
or to collect any hunting fees from
these permit holders. To that end
we ask that any one who is stopped
from hunting on Unbiased South
ern Pacific land Immediately tC
communicate with the office of the

Christian Science

"Mortals and Immortals" is the
subject of the lesson-sermon on
Sunday in all Christian Science
churches, branches of The Mother
Church, The First Church of Christ,
Scientist, in Boston, Mass.
One of the Scriptural selections
in the lesson sermon presents a
portion of the PsalmisC's prayer,
LAS for me, 1 will behold Thy face
in righteousness: l shall be salts
fled. when l awake, with Thy like
ness; and another citation includes
Paul's words: "For this corruptible
must put on interruption, and this
mortal must put on Immortality So
when this corruptible shall have
put on interruption, and this mortal
must put on Immortality. So when
this corruptible shall have put on
interruption, and this mortal shall
have put on Immortality, then shall
be brought to pass the saying that
is written, Death is swallowed up
in victory"
Among the passages from Sci
ence ana Health with Key to the
Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy,
are these sentences: when the IL
fusion of sickness or sin tempts
you, cling steadfastly to God and
His idea Let Christian science,
instead of corporal sense, support
your understanding of being, and
this understanding will supplant
error with truth, replace mortality
with Immortality, and silence dis
cord with harmony
