Petitions Addressed to Service Com ' missions Being Circulated. vf ' Walla Walla, Jan. 13! (Special) A petition addressed to the Interstate Commerce commission of Washington, D. C, the railroad commission of the state of Oregon, and he public' ser vice commission of the state of Wash ington, is now being circulated among the dairymen and business men, of the state. v-. '. . : , The petition is being generally sign ed by the dairy interests, the com mercial bodies, and the business men throughout the important dairy sec tions of the state. The petition states the purpose is to equalize the express rates on butter and cream 'shipments to market centers. When the country 'was hew and undeveloped, the dairy herds' widely scattered and distant from the cities, the express companies put into effect a rate to induce the shipment of milk for city consump tion., ' Later : when creameries were started the same rates were applied to cream - shipments which have . a value several times that of a can of milk. h::. . A can of cream contained ' many pounds of butter In the nature of butter-fat, which is being carried by the express companies for less than one-half the rate that applied to man ufactured butter, This express rate on -cream is in many instances less than a third class freight rate. The result of this inequality on butter shipped by express, in ' cream, has been to 'build up central creameries in the big markets to the decided dis advantage of the farmers' local p'Sns: and the farmers' co-operative cream eries, it is declared. "' ':. ' ' "All these within the, great dairy sections ' have , been discriminated against, and in many cases, entirely rained and destroyed,' by unfair com petition," stated a creamery man yes terday. . "The petitioners are simply desirous of having the express com panies either lower their present but ter rate, so that it will be on the same basis as the rate on butter carried as cream, or to increase the cream rate to a point where it will be equal to the butter rate. s Some adjustment would only seem fair. ; , "If the farmers' creamery is expect ed to continue as one of the substantial-industries of the country, communities the express 'companies must so equalize their rates, that but ter cannot be shipped as cream at a less rate than it can be shipped man ufactured. The country community is entitled to some manufacturing en terprise. The local creamery is a dis tributor of many thousands of dollars monthly, and is always an important business factor in every farming com munity, and unless the public service commission gives the dairy interests the proper relief, the farmers' cream ery will soon be aa thing of the past; this is the way the matter is viewed dby the signers of the petition."

In Tueeany Evan the Peasants Indulge In This Pastime. , Visit the home of a peasant In Tus cany on wine winter's evening and you will be surprised and charmed, writes Mr. Metis rd Bauot In "Tbe Italians of Today." Gathered round tbe kitchen Are after the duy'a work la done, these peasants, fyjsh from tbelr rough labor In the fields and vineyards, vie with each other In reciting poetry and tell ing stories. Generally both are extem poraneous, and often they, buve a good dcul of poetic grace and Imagination. Tho Rift of reciting Improvised poetry Is not. however, confined to the peas ants in Tuscany.,, 1 know of an In stance thnt occurred lu my own neigh borhood not Hp very long ago that ccr-. talnly could not have occurred any where but In Tuscany. A local doctor was driving to catch a train at a sta tion a few miles from me, aud on his way be was accosted by a colleague who happened to be looking over his garden wall.. The colleague shouted out a line of Improvised verse to blm, upon which tbe other Instantly pulled up his horse and capped the line wltb another." ' :'.','.. .. ; Doctor : No. 2 responded, and for three hours the poetic contest was con tlnued without cessation. In tbe mean time the whole of tbe village bad turn ed out to listen and to make wagers on wblrb would be tbe first to tack on In spiration, it was only as dusk came on that doctor No. 1 remembered that he was on his wtiy to. eaten a train! , Whether a patient was expecting blm 1 know not, but I feel convinced that such n detail would not have been Allowed to Interfere with this war of i verses.
