A message was received at Mur ray yesterday announcing the death at the home of her son, Ray I. Davis, at Sterling. Colorado, of Mrs. An derson Davis, who for a long period of years was one of the best known and well beloved residents of that portion of Cass county. The death occurred Monday evening. Mrs. Davis was nearing her eighty fifth birthday and has not been in the best of health since the death of her husband in April, 1919. and since the breaking of the long and happy wedded life Mrs. Davis has been mak ing her home for the greater part of the time with her son, (). A. Davis and wife at Murray. In the middle of July Mrs. Davis departed for the west to visit her son. Ray, at Sterling and it was while at his home that she was taken with her last sickness. Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Davis had been visiting in Col orado also and had stopped at the home of the brother when the aged mother was taken sick, remained with her until the last act of the drama of life had been ended. The Davis family was numbered among the oldest in the vicinity of Murray, having located on a farm near old Maple Grove in the year 1S7S. when they came from Mills county, Iowa, and made their home in and near Murray ever since that time. There are few ladies who have possessed the love and respect of an entire community as has "Aunt Su san." as she was affectionately known by the residents of the com munity and her life beautiful and sincere is a monument that will live forever witrt those of her loved ones and friends and be an inspiration to them in their future years, when they will be deprived of a mothers love and counfel. To mourn the death of Mrs. Davis there remain I. M. Davis. Dr. T. V.

This morning the final chapter in the arrest of three of the young men of the city was enacted when Chief of Police Manspeaker deposited the amount of $13 with Police Judge Archer as the amount due the city from Dewey Hobson, on the charge of being under the influence of liquor. This case is part of the story of the arrests made by Officer Alvin Jones Sunday night when he took into custody Matt Liner and Louis Frady, who were also assessed fines of $10 and costs on the charge of being intoxicated and paid over the sum of $13 each. When question ed the young men stated they had procured the liquor from Louis Baum gart, who was then fined $100 and costs for his part in the matter. It would seem from the statements of police officers that the boys had only secured a small portion of liquor from Mr. Baumgart after much argu ment and with disastrous results for all parties concerned.

The evening was spent in visiting and enjoying a number of musical selections by Harold Fornoff, who is an accomplished musician and vocal ist, and who is active in the musical circles of his home city. At a suit able hour dainty refreshments of ice cream and cake were served by the hostess and the ladies of the party, which added much to the en joyment of those present. - It has been many years since the Fornoff famils resided in this city, and Mr. Fornoff left here as a very young man, and has during the in tervening years been with the South ern Pacific at Ogden, being foreman of the boiler shop of that railroad at their large shops in the Utah city.

DEATH OF LITTLE CHILD From Wednesday's Dally. The many relatives and friends in Cass county of the Henry Loutcn slager family, who for a number of years have been residing near Pocas set, Oklahoma, will regret very much to learn of the death of Freda, the twelve-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loutenslager, which occurred at the home on Tuesday, August 24th.

I'Vnm Wednesday's ToHy. In the effort to relieve the congest ed rail transportation from middle west farms to eastern ports. The American farm bureau federation has secured a cheaper rate by com bination boat and rail shipment to eastern ports than by straight rail for the shipment of grain. A revision of the new rail rate schedule now going into effect makes it cheaper by 2 1-2 cents to 3 1-4 cents a bushel to ship by boat to IJulTalo and from there on by rail. Word of thi.-s action Ijy the interstate commerce commis sion was received on the night of Au gust 2G. This new schedule of rail rate in creases will promote boat shipment and will relieve thousands of ears shuttling back and forth between Chi cago and Buffalo for other service To middle-dest farmers it should mean a relief of congested rail trans portation which has clogged elevators and in some cases stopped threshing ri.s for lack of storage capacity, par ticularly on tenant farms. Before the increase went into ef fect the rail rate from Chicago to IJulTalo was 3.S cents from Buffalo to New York. 10 cents, in spite of the fact it is 100 miles shorter haul in the latter. This was brought out be fore the interstate commerce com mission. The roads were evidently losing money on their service be tween Chicago and Buffalo and charg ing exhorbitant prices between Buffa lo and New York to make up the dif ference. This made it impossible for boat transportation to complete for business. Governor Harding of Iowa stated that sixty per cent of the con gestion on eastern shipment is caus ed between Chicago and Buffalo. His report showed that right now there are boats on the great lakes equipped to cany 122.000.000 bushels of grain per trip and that a round trip loaded both ways can be made in elevcy days. Following expressions of approval of the plan on the part of the com mission, the federation immediately took the matter tip with Daniel Wil lard. president of the B. &. O. rail road, and also pre-irlent of the com mittee of railroad executives of New York city. The railroads involved were asked to adjust these ex-lake rates voluntarily and their cheer ful acceptance of the plan exhibits a spirit of co-operation that is a source of pleasure to all concerned. In railway circles it is said that this is the first case on record of the rail roads' asking a reduction in rates for the purpose of stimulating ship ment by water.
