,upreme Court May Have the Last Word ASHINGTON.-In a far-reaching decision vitally affecting railroad rate control In the several states, the Interstate commerce commission has held that New York state passenger farem are discriminatory because they are lower than interstate fares and esdering the Institution of the higher Interstate rates. The decision, the most vital since the celebrated Shreveport rate case as affecting railroad control by the in terstate commerce commission, means a 20 per cent increase in all passen ger fares In New York state, as well as Increases in baggage charges, milk and cream -rates and sleeping car fares.

AMES tf.I 1930, by McClurte N*ewplapr ksyadlcate.) When Beth Bedell came back to North Gilead, after two years' ab sence In the metropolis, the clothes she wore produced exactly opposite lm preselons in the minds of Hugh ilasby and Imogene Dart. Imogene, though she had but a fleet ing glimpse of Beth as the "jit" from Gilead snorted through the village, ex ultantly reported to Amy Austin that "Beth Bedell Is home, wearing about a dollar and a quarter's worth of dress and forty cents' worth, of hat !" Hugh, however, experienced a sud den sinking sensation around the heart when be made an erand over to the Bedells' that afternoon and found Beth looking, as he told himself, "like a mil lion dollars." Beth's face lighted as the tall young farmer came through the gate, and if Hugh had been leess stunned by the luxurious aspect of the homecomer he might have noticed that the rose of her cheeks grew deeper as she shook hands with him. What really absorbed Hugh's mind to most melancholy effect was the con viction that it had all worked out with Beth precisely as it always did in the Gilead theater movies--Beth had be come a regular fashionable city girl, quite unattainable for a plain fellow like himself. Why, her clothes alone must cost a lot more in a year than he could clear on his place even with the best of luck! Dispirited, vaguely but keenly dis appointed-for he had been thinking a deal, and with secret hopefulness, about Beth ever since be heard she was coming home--Hugh followed the well-blazed trail of Ingenuous youth In such case made and provided. He tadted, and his sulks took the guise of stiff formality. "Glad to see you home, Miss Bedell," he said solemnly. "Miss Bedell !" laughed Beth. "Since when? Don't be silly, Hugh. It's aw fully good to see you. Why don't you tell me Im looking well?" "You look mighty nifty, if that's -wBt you mean," replied Hugh with efiborate ungraciousness; "but you leeook like somebody else--omebody thht flies high. Guess you perch on a diferent tree from old friends nowa days, don't you? Your father in?" For an instant Bath stared amazed. Then the rose in her cheeks died till In either a tiny red spot remained. "He's out at the barn," she said, and without further word walked straight into the house. North Gilead was a very smail place. It beasee of only one rich man, and of him It boasted not greatly. Merton Phelps at twenty-five was a shade stingier than his father had been at seventy-two, when after a lifetime of mlserliness he left a trunkful of be loved mortgages and securities to his only son. Young Phelps dressed showily, if with infinite regard for a bargain. for he was vain. He cultivated the man ner of a village, beaun, for he had a, keen eye for feminine loveliness, but noeNorth Gilead girl could truthfully malint that Merton had ever spent a nickel on her. Still there is a certain glamour to a hundred and fifty thou sand dollars, and girls were not want ing to welcome his indxpensive and in sinuating flatteries. On the afternoon of Beth's home coming within an hour after Hugh's brief vilt, 'she met Phelps in the post ofiee. And when, spurred by the fas elatiemwo- eof-beauty exceptionally groomed and fetchingly gowned, he asked if he might "drop around aind set' on the porch" with her that eve whIg Sbe t emated- him the privilege with a condescension quite new to his experlences.

And when, next day, it transpired that he lad taken her to Lake Chemung and paid four dollars for something to eat at the Chemang pavlllon, the com: munity almost became speechless.

It was the morning after the orchids. Hugh was disconsolately going alhout his "chores" in his big hamrn when there came a light step on the floor and a laughing "Good mlorning, liugh." It was Beth. "Good morning. Isn't this a queer place for a city-" a "Now Hugh, you stop that," inter rupted Beth. "I'm not going to let you take that tone with me again. It isn't fair to me-nor to yourself. I've come to tell you something. Do you want to hear it?" It was the old Beth. He could see it now, even If there was something different about the clothes and tile way her hair was done, and such small matters. But it only made Hugh's sense of loss the more acute. "I'm mighty sorry, Beth," ht s,d, "that I wast-well downright nasty the day you came home. But I guess it isn't going to be easy to hear what you have to tell. Maybe we'd better take it for granted. I hope he'll make you happy. I honestly do." Then Beth laughed-a very real, hearty laugh, but with a little catch at the end. "Hugh," she sllld, "Mert Phelps is a horrible little cad. I wouldn't mar ry him if every dollar he has were a million and he'd spend it all as I wished. Listen to me, goose. I knew in a minute, that day, what was the matter with you. You thought I had grown luxurious and extravagant and so grown hopelessly away from homl ness and everything like-like this. And all because I had caught a little of the knack that so many city girls simply have to acquire--of making a lot of appearance on next to nothing. HIugh. I diln't succeed very well in town. I've had a pretty hard time. Right now I'm the most cheaply dressed girl in North Gilead. But I didln't like it anyway. I wanted home and the old folks. And I missed you, Hugh. I've never forgotten what you said just before I went away-and I looked forward to your liking me. And then you had to go and jump at the notion that I had gotten to he a swell -and would think only about loads of money for clothee.and things!" "Beth, I-" "Wait a minute, Hugh. Last night Merton Phelps offered to make over half his money to me, absolutely, if I would marry him. It made me a lit tle sick to make him make that offer, but I (lid-though he doesn't know I did. You know why I did, don't you, Hugh? So I could refuse It, of course, and then come and ask you how much figure you really think money and lux uries cut with Beth Bedell-you old slly." There were tears In her laugh ter now. "You chucked all that money-and came to me? Beth! Say, girl, I said you looked like a million. You're a million million yourself--of pure gold." And the tears that trickled through the laughter were dried on blue denim while more blue denim held her tight, MAN OF BUSINESS INSTINCTS Luckily for Bankers, All Customers Are Not as Shrewd as This Individual.

"Well, I have good security," said the stranger, "and I want to borrow Finally the banker, halt from fa tigne and half from amused curloslty, agreed to make the loan. When the note was all drawn and the interest of 35 cents paid, the stranger drew from his pocket $10,000 worth of gov ernment bonds and handed them over as security, Before the banker could express his astonishment, the stranger said: "Now this is something like It.

Rad ford, No. 185 Prairie avenue. Chicago. I.. and only anclose two-cent stamp for Winter is the time when farmers, dairymen especially, appreciate the value of a modern, weather-tight barn for their herds. For in the modern barn the animals are kept as healthy and productive during the cold weath er as when they are in pasture. They have fresh air to breathe, are warm and produce as much milk under the present-darmethod of feeding as they do in the summer. In years gone by any structures that provided shelter against the win ter storms and cold was considered good enough for the dairy cows.

Feed that formerly was utilized by cows to maintain their body heat now pro dunces milk. Drafty barns promoted sickness and loss of animals. Incon venient barns meant spending hours caring for the animals, while the mod erg barn cuts the work to a mini mum. For the reasons given, progressive dairymen look upon good barns as pay ing investments. Also barn planning experts have taken the results of _d entifie investigations Into considers tion and have designed dairy barns so that the animals are maintained In a healthful condition and by in creasing production In quality and quantity, more profits are returned.

The most borrible" sufferings and scenes -took place as a result of the ignorance of tle population In the care of the disease and prevention of its spread. Lepers were treated with Inhuman cruelty and driven with whips from town to town. They were ordered to wear a gray gown and ring a bell wherever they went, to warn pasers-by of their presence, As gar lie and leeks were suppoied to be benedal, they were forever eating them, and their presence was thus farther advertise St. Isero was their petron sait and fore that fe6t asme the name "sear," meaning aone dusses.

The borim 1.I set on a concrtte foul:lati,,n anr1d heIs a conlcrete tiuor in the staih. Th'e cut of the roof gives it a fine appearance. Adjoining the barln at the side is a milk house. while at the rear is a 14-ftet silo. The rmai:n 1 uildr!g is rectangular in shape, 36 fe4 wide and 76 feet 6 inches long. How the Interior of the stable is ar ranged and equipped is shown by the floor plan that accompanies the ex terior view. Through the center runs the feeding alley, with the cow stalls facing it. Along each wall Is a litter alley. Over the feeding and litter al leys Is an overhead track for the car rier, which takes the feed to the man gers at the stall heads and removes the litter. This feature alone saves at least two hours of labor a day. It will be noted by the dot-and-dash line that the carrier track connects all parts of the barn, so that feed may be loaded into the carrier in the feed room and transported directly to the mangers. The litter alley track runs out of the barn to the manure pits or sheds at the rear. Fresh air without drafts is another Important feature of this barn. On either side of the building there are foul air vent shafts near the stable ceiling. These tents are connected with the suction ventilators on the roof. The ventilators draw the foul air out of the stable without creating a draft on the cows. Set into the c< erete flooP are san itary steel stall partitions, swinging stanchions and manger lpartltions. The manger itself Is of concrete, with a slight pitch to one end, so that it may be flushed out with hose and kept clean. At the rear of the stalls is a concrete gutter sunk Into the floor. The gutter also is pitched to a drain for washing. Shown on the floor plan are cork brick floors. Cork bricks are made of cork compressed into the shape of a building brick. These bricks are laid into the floor and are desirable because the animals will not slip, neither will they cause sore feet or sore sides when the cows lay on them. Taken all in all, this is a most mod ern barn-one that will house the dairy herd comfortably, keep the cows healthy and increase milk production. Its size is such that the owner pays for no waste space, while at the same time there is plenty of room for the animals, and to do the work necessary In the most economical way. While building operations is the northern part of the country are at a standstill until spring comes, farmers who will need a new barn before am other year rolls around should begin to make their plans. By carefully con sidering the size of barn needed to ac commodate the dairy herd, plans may be secured and a contractor engaged so that the work of building can begin early in the spring. Building costs have been reduced materially during the last few monthe and, those in the business assert, will not be lower for a number of years to come. women were made to wear knee-high boots to prevent the rubbing of their limbs against chairs or benches where a well person migfit contract the dis ease.
