Slash in Freight on Wheat Urged Before Coolidge Senator Capper Visits White House and Declares Rail roads Can Afford to Cut Rates. Vnlvrri.nl hrrvlvr. Washington, Sept. 15.—Downward revision of freight rates on agricul tural products, particularly wheat, wag urged on President Coolldge to day by Senator Capper of Kansas as nne means of government aid to the farmer. The senator pointed out that the wheat growers of his state are now receiving only 80 to 00 cents a bushel for their grain, delivered at Chicago, out of which they must pay 22 cents a bushel freight charges. This is in contrast to the $2.26 a bushel they were receiving five years ago when the government guaranteed the price 1 and when the freight rate was only 11 cents r bushel. The Kansas senator answered that railroads engaged in carrying trade are getting in a more prosperous condition where they can stanr^ a reduction In freight rates that will enable the fnriners of the west to mihlmlze their crop losses. Coolldgc Interested. Senator Capper said President < 'oolidge showed a sympathetic inter est in the agricultural situation and expressed a desire to do whatever lie could to improve the lot of the farmer. He said the president talked par ticularly of the transportation and that he was confident there would be a Well-defined program W'orked out * . for submission (o congress this win ter, covering the agricultural trans portfition questions. He doubted that any effort would lie made to revive the United States drain corporation, ns has been pro posed in some quarters to solve the wheat problem. Senator Capper arfived in Wash ington today from Massachusetts, where he has been enjoying a vaca tion. He leaves tomorrow for Kan sas to jump into an aggressive two months’ campaign for re-election as senator. Me said he had already vis ited 42 counties in his state since the last congress adjourned and would go into all the others before the new congress meets. Content With Senate. The senator said he had not taken Seriously the recpnt suggestion of former Representative Campbell of Kansas, that he aspire to the vice presidential nomination as a running mate for President Coolidge in 1924. He declared his only ambition is to continue in the senate. Thus far, he said, he has no opposition for the senatorial nomination and is not an ticipating any. The eenator took occasion to com ment on the enthusiasm he found In Massachusetts for the new president and the gratification Massachusetts feels over the strong position in which it now finds itself with the president, cabinet member, speaker of the house, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and other positions of leadership, all from that state.

At least those are in this new importation from that famous Alpine canton in Switzerland where patient peasants work on gossamer bits of linen under a micro scope to make the fairy like embroideries of the handkerchiefs that you may buy at Thompson Belden’s for $1.50 to $6.
