THIS IS A DISPUTE IN MATTER OF REFRIGERATION. Against the Traffic Association, But the Commerce Commission Says the Shippers Had the Right Idea. Topeka, May a case coming up from Kansas City, the inter. state commerce commission has rendered a decision in the matter of vestigation and suspension of advances in refrigeration charges between points on the Kansas City Southern railway and Topeka, as well as other points: in this section. The point in controversy between the railroad and the Topeka Tariff association was a rule in the tariff of the road which read: "When shippers cannot avail themselves of the regularly scheduled refrigerator-car service, refrigerator cars will be furnished, provided 10,000 pounds or more is loaded therein at the less-than-carload rates.

Under such circumstances no charge will be made for initial icing or re-icing." This rule had the effect of making the charges on certain shipments of freight lower than figured at the less than carload rate than if computed at the carload basis. The Kansas City Southern attempted to cancel this rule some months ago, but their effort was suspended by the interterstate commerce commission 1111- til May 10, and in the meantime an investigation and hearing was held. In the commission's opinion it holds that while the construction placed upon the item by the Tariff association that the rates should be lower is correct, yet the revenue derived under this basis was unremunerative and the carriers would not be required to continue its application. "As a result of the complaint made by the Traffic association the railroads have reduced the rate on strawberries from the Ozark country to Topeka from 59 cents to 44 cents a hundred pounds," said H. D.

Driscoll, commissioner. "They have also readjusted the refrigeration rates on all fruits and vegetables from the Ozarks to Topeka. While this new basis will yield the railroads a larger return than under the application of the rule in question yet it also places the Topeka fruit dealers in a much better shape than formerly. "The Traffic association is satisfied with the decision of the commission inasmuch as it confirms the tation on past shipments and will have the effect of securing early settlement on several pending claims." THE INDIGNANT FARMER. "I'm just as mad as I can be!" An angry farmer said; "Those early strawberries of mine Desire a folding bed! "And my potatoes have declined To ripen underground, Unless, to keep dust from their eyes Smoked goggles I have found! "The cabbage heads, among themselves, Indulge in secret chats; But I.

have overheard them, and They vow they'll have straw hats! "Such foolishness I cannot stand; And now just as I fearedEach single stalk of wheat demands A barber for its beard! "The squashes, too, are getting proud: It almost makes me smile; They want the very finest neckwear, of the very latest style! "But now the very limit's reached! I learn, with stifled groanEach ear of corn insists upon A private telephone!" -Harper's Magazine. TENTH LESSON IN COOKING. What Is On High School Bill In Domestic Classes.

LITTLE GRUMBLES. (By Dodd Gaston.) Generally speaking, it is the man who has lose who is afraid he is going to be deprived of it. A woman is pretty nearly always willing for her husband to play poker if he divides his winnings with her. Anybody can pitch with two down. The acid test is pitching with the bases full and nobody out.

The longest journey a man can make is the trip from his own office to that of the dentist across the street. So many women go to the hospital nowadays that it no longer is much of a distinction to have had an operation performed. A good deal of bad management is excused on the ground that it was the Lord's will. The reward for the carly bird is no compensation for the effortr involved. The early bird, you will recall, gets a worm.

"QUEEN OF MAY" FREE, $1.25 IN GROCERIES MANY RETAILERS GIVING CRICK. ET CASH DISCOUNT STAMPS. Housewives All Over the City Are Saving Money in This Paper's Great Home Trade Campaign Which Is Under Way. Over twenty merchants have joined the Cricket's great home trade campaign and are now giving a Cricket discount stamp with every 10c I purchase. The grocers are especially being benefitted by the plan.

Every grocer who has used the stamps for three or four days has reported new' customers and an increase in business. Last Monday only four grocers were giving stamps, but Friday night eight others had commenced. The object of this campaign is to induce Kansas City, people to do all of their trading at home. As soon as possible after a grocer commences giving the stamps the Cricket sends a solicitor to call at every home in that neighborhood to tell the people about the saving to be made by trading at home and giving them the name of the grocer in their neighborhood who gives the stamps. By this method the people are shown that it is to their advantage to do all their trading on this side, besides building up the trade for the grocer.

The stamps represent a 3 per cent cash discount on every purchase. Books are furnished free by the stores in which to save the stamps. These books hold 500 stamps (reprosenting $50 in purchases) and when filled entitle the holder to $1,50 in merchan dise or $1.25 in groceries at any store giving the stamps. Every reader of the Cricket should ask for the stamps on every purchase. If your dealer does not give them, he can get.

them for you. We offer to let him try the plan free of charge, so that he may decide whether it wlil pay him to give the stamps or not. This is certainly as liberal an offer as any merchant could ask for. A complete list of the merchants who give and redeem the stamps will be found on another page in today's issue, also a coupon entitling you to twenty extra stamps free. Mr.

and Mrs. James Marshall Nicklin have assumed invitations for the marriage of their daughter, Miss Mae Agnes, to Mr. John Edward Carlson, which will take place on Saturday evening May 17th, at the home of the bride's parents, 739 Barnett avenue. Mr. and Mrs.

C. K. AND STATE SMILING COUNTRY WELL SOAKED IN LONG SLEEPY SUNDAY. Still At It Today at Noon and All Over the Country as For West as Ellis, Wheat Is Saved. Kansas City, and all Kansas, as well as Oklahoma, Nebraska and Missouri, looks like one big youthful and well-fed smile today.

The country was well soaked with rain yesterday and the weather forecast indicates that more moisture will come today. The precipitation averaged from one inch to eight inches. Reports from the extreme western part, in Ellis county, say that from six to eight inches of rain fell and that two miles of Union Pacific track is flooded and a bridge washed out. Slight showers were 1 reported over the Santa t'e lines from Dodge City east to Kansas City and south over the entire Oklahoma division. Herington, Holton and other stations on the Rock Island division reported rains averaing from one to two inches last night.

Probably the heaviest rains in the state fell on the Union Pacific terri tory west of Ellis, and moderate precipitation was reported all along the line east of Ellis and Oakley. According to the indications reported from the weather stations in the state there will be but few places that did not receive some rain out of yesterdaf's general disturbance which extended from the panhandle of Texas up through Oklahoma and Kansas. Unlimited good was done to all crops, especially the wheat, the reports say, and prospects now look brighter than ever for the farmers. In most places the rain was just enough to wet the ground thoroughly, but not to give an overabundance of moisture. In only one section, Ellis county, was the rain very heavy.

The precipitation came as a blessing for the truck gardeners and their vegetables that are about half grown should shoot up in quick time now. Topeka received .88 of an inch of rain and the wind, barometer and sky indicated last night that more moisture was to come today. With the rain came the predicted drop in temperature. The average temperature during the day was considerably below the normal, but on account of the high temperature Friday night and early Saturday morning the official report for the day showed it to be two degrees above normal. The maximum of 71 degrees was ten degrees lower than that of Friday, and the minimum of 55 degrees was six degrees lower.

Contrary to the general rule of the weather the maximum came in the morning yesterday and the minimum in the afternoon. Today will be cool and cloudy the forecast says.
