V. A. Rail win, manager of the ()hi-j region of the railroad, in a statement said that the plan was adopted with the idea that "local conditions can best be appreciated and mo.-t intelligently met by. the Inowledge and interest of local su pervision and support." Much of the maintenance and construction work of the railroad had heretofore been done by contractors in communities through which the road runs, it was said. transportation act, it was pointed! cut as it is not a 'common carrier." Hence, members of the board said. its employes will not come under the I ; board's wase and rules orders. If: jthe roads follow the leasing plan j generally it will have the effect, a: .member of the board said, of re-' moving the shop crafts from the: benefits of the Esch-Cummins act.! He advanced the opinion that the. Plight of the Western Growers is Attributed to the Kigh Freight Sates on Their Produce board would have the right to con sider such a step a violation of the j law.

"Ii" it is dm to such an extent as to appear to be an evasion of the transportation act," the board mem ber said, "this board, no doubt will .take some action."

Bankers, economists and farmers, testifying to day before the interstate commerce commission, attributed the present plight of western agriculturists in a large measure to high freight r:ie on grain products and hay. The testi mony was presented in a case grow ing out of complaint against present rates ly th Kansas public utilities commission ani joined in by nine teen other state commissions and by various shipir.ers' and producing or ganizations. The hearing is expected to be concluded Fr'day, and argu ments will begin immediately there after. F. W. Peck, director of the agricul tural extension department of the University of Missesota. said that the fainter depended for his profit upon labor, and that grain producers now were receiving but 15 cents an hour on the average for labor. Any de crcae in freight rates would be add ed directly to this 15 cents an hour, he contended, and would materially increase the profit of the farmers. A decrease in freight rates of 2 cents a bushel would represent an increase of 22 per cent on this profit, he said. J. R. Howard, president of the American Farm Hureau federation, said that prices on grain were fixed where the surplus accumulates, usu ally in Liverpool, and that this price, less commissions and the cost of transporting the grain to the points where the prices are made, was what th producers received. Therefore, he added, any increase or decrease in freight rates was felt directly by the fanner. Pc-th Mr. Howard and Mr. Peck pr. -Rented figures intended to show that the actual cos-.t. of raising wheat and hay wiw greater than the price for which the commodities are being sold.

SURPRISE BIRTHDAY DIN NER ON SHERMAN COLE A n iimber of the relatives of Sher man Cole gathered at. his home last Sunday to assist in the celebration of his thirty-second birthday anni versary. The happy affair was a sur prise, planned by Mrs. Sherman Cole, wh' succeeded in preparing a. sump tuous dinner "behind her husband's back." When relatives from Lincoln arrived before noon, he was sonu wlint surprised but they explained that on account of the muddy roads hey concluded to stop at his home and 1hen resume tiire journey later in the day. He. .happily consented to that. Later other car loads of folks arrived and walked in on him and then lie realized that he was the vic tim of a keenly planned surprise. The long table was soon filled with every good to eat and everyone bus ily engaged in consuming the same. The centerpiece consisted of a large angel food cake" upon which was 32 tiny pink candles, surround ing the cake was a wreiih of green aspragas booths interspersed with pink sweet peas which produced a lovely effect. Just before the last course the candles were lit by the host and the room darkened and in the soft glow the guests resumed their feasting at the cloe of which. Sherman extinguished the flames with one "big blow. The remainder of the day was spent in music and vi.-iting. after which the. guests departed, wishing Sherman many happy returns of the day. Fairy Tale yAAKY GRAHAM BOWER. ORANG-UTAN. Tm one of the friendliest of crea tures," suid the Orang-Utan. "Of course, I belong to the great monkey family, nnd 1 have reddish hair and brownish skin. "My ears are small, whereas the ears of tho Chimpanzee are big and his hair is black. He came from Af rica to the zoo, and I came from Dorneo. "He is a much bigger creature than I am, too. lie knows a little bit more than I do, though I try to be as smart as I can be, for all of my family have been smart. "Still,. I must admit that the Chim panzee and all of his family are as bright ns can be. "I have a good many tricks which my keeper has taught me to do, and lmw the boys and girls do love to see those tricks. "In the first place, I can wear clot lies, and can put some of them on and take some of them off by myself. "Then I can eat with n knife and a fork, and several years ago I used to bo the host rt a party. "Yes, sir, every afternoon in the summer time, several years ago, the ;:. people used to have afternoon tea parties for us. "We used to sit up at a table. There were about half a dozen monkeys about that table, as I remember. And we used to eat just as nicely ns any body could, with napkins about our necks and bibs for the little monkeys. "You ought to have seen the crowds that used to cone and see us! Oh, they, did crowd to look at us. They f-ed to think we were very smart, nnd of course wo were, for the Orang utan family has always been bright ::i:d always will be bright. "At; 1 it is the same with the Chim 1 : :zoo family, ten. "We don't have those afternoon tea parties now, but we may again, some Time. I don't know whether we will or not. "Of course, we ret as much food as e s r. but we don't sit out about a ta Vo like that as we' used to, so the people could see what line manners wo had at table. 'I can't begin to tell yoir bow they UM'd to smile as they, saw us, and I', -v they chuckled with delight, and l.o.v much they cared for us. "Such a good time as we did have, :n d such a go. d time as we gave to the people who came to see us. I-'ac'i 3 "As Nicely as Anybody." day, more and more people would roni". They had heard about our inr ties from other people, and they want ed to see what we did when we sat at ar. afternoon tea table. "They saw that we bad excellent table manners and always wiped our mouths with our napkins and not with the backs of our hands. VXo. we didn't do that when we sat up so politely at the tea table. "I've been asked to tell the othqr monkeys in the monkey bouse about those parties we used to have, for pome of these monkeys were not here at that time, and, of course, all the monkeys couldn't be at the tea parties, for some of them were too young and didn't know how to behave well enough. They had to stay in their nursery cages and couldn't come to the big table. Hut some of them will be able to come if we have tea parties again. I have to have a game of sawdust playing with the keeper, and I want to pet him and tell him how much I love him." Then the keeper came to the Orang utan's cage and opened the door, and out came the Orang-Utan and put his arm around the keeper's neck, nnd the keeper bold him in his arms. "Dear keeper," the Orung-Utan said in bis monkey way, "how I love you. and bow good you are to me. We have our games and our fun, and we have just nice cozy times like this when we tell each other what good friends we are." And the keeper said to the Orang Utan, "You're the best animal I've ever known. Y'ou are the finest Orang-Utan I've ever known, and I've knowu many a fine one, too." So the keeper and the Orang-Utan bad a little talk and a little game as they so often had together. j Follow This Woman's Example and Equip Your Kitchen With Liberty Brand Twenty Year 1 Guaranteed Aluminum Ware Free Advertising is the life of trade.

MISSION FESTIVAL A SUCCESS many away who otherwise I have been in attendance. would I,ate Saturday evening a party of two gentlemen and two ladies came down from the metropolis up the river to spend a few hours here and enjoy a short outing, but the party had an untimely ending and the two male members of the quartette spent the remaining hours of dark ness in the city bastilc. where they had been placed by Officer Chand ler. The pleasure seekers had pro fetled nicely with their outing dur ing their stay here, and the only drawback was the fact that they re mained too long within the confines of the city. The party was appre hended out on Washington avenue, where they had been making more or less noise it. is claimed and which, attracting the attention of the resi dents of that portion of the city, led to the police being called to the scene and the four persons were taken down to the city hall to dis cuss the matter more fully. The two men were placed in the jail and the ladies allowed to go to one of the hotels to stay for the remainder of the night. Yesterday morning the members ot the party produced the sum of $30 for a cash bond and were released and returned to their homes in the hig town considerably saddened by their experience and convinced , that the joy riding parties are ; better without too much stimulant.
