N. D. Body Opposes
Potato Rate Change

A petition Of intervention has been
filed by the North Dakota railroad
commission in the complaint of the
Platt River Valley Potato Growers
Marketing company, of Torrington,
Wyo., which attacked the carload
rates on potatoes from the Platt River
Valley to numerous southern and east
ern destinations as being unreasonable
and discriminatory in favor of rates
from North Dakota to the same des-
tinations.
The North Dakota commission plans
to appear In opposition to any increas-
es in potato rates in the state when
the I. G. G. sets hearing for the case.

absolutely prevents night coughing.
It gives the same speedy relief for
sore throat too. Safe for the whole
family-guaranteed no dope. Money
back if not satisfied. 35c. At your

Most of the firemen from up the
State mOtoTed down on north side

to South Bowers. The 1iremen upon
arrival assembled along the water
front, fought Mosquitoes and were
entertained for over an hour by

real musicians and singers. The Odd
Fellows Quartet of Milford sang a
number of selections and Dick

Following this part of the program,
the firemen filed through Sergeant
POwell's store and home for a buff
fet luncheon.
