I. C. C. IS FLAYED
WASHINGTON, Feb. lv A
complaint against the lntantate com
merce commission for allseed failure
to meet DromDtJr and DroMrtr r-
qiiiremeiAtH of agricultural interest In
railroad rate making was made today
before the Benate interstate coinr
merce committee by Governor Clyde
IM. Ked of Kansas, tile cited particu
larly the aituution aa to rates on ex
nnrt wliAat from tiouLh western terri
tory, which he said had to meet the
price competition in world markets
from Canadian wheat, thouch he de
clared that Canadian wheat waa being
moved to export at rates half aa bitch,
distance considered, aa the mil
charges on the southwestern product.
Governor lteed appeared fir his
state, and aa spoken man for all of
the larger farm organization In the
region, in a bearing on a resolution
Eroposed Dy senator tapper, repuu
can, Kannaa, touching the grain ex
port rail rates. He said that the com
mission, in Drevioua responses to
congressional inquiry on the export
grain levels in the United Butea and
Canada, ezpreaaed the conclusion that
grain rates on this side or uie inter
national border could not be reduced
to the Canadian basis.
"The Interstate commerce commis
sion ignored some important factors
that In all fairness to the people of
this country should have been discuss
ed In its report," Governor lteed said.
"In stating its conclusion that the
northwest railroad rates on wheat
and other commodities could not be
reduced to the Canadian lovel, the
commission referred to the well
known difference in taxes accruing
against the Canadian railroads and
the United States railroads. It entire
ly Ignored the equally well known dif
ference In fuel costs as between the
Canadian and our own railroads. To
discuss one important fact, that of
taxes, where the advantage lies with
the Canadian railroads and to Ignore
another factor, namely, the coat of
fuel where the advantage lies with
the American roads, lacks the candor
and fairness which the people of this
country are eiiLitled to have from
their public servnnts."
As to southwestern territory, whpre
h declared the export rates on grain
moving to the Gulf of Mexico were
on a basis almost twice as high as
0n.li- rates. Governor Reed said
railroads were In extraordinarily good
financial circumstances.
Canadian roads may have been
aided in construction by public appro
priations ,he -ifd. but added that a
numbnr of western roads In the Uni
ted Slates were financed by rifta of
public land. With the cheaper fuel
snnly, and other considerations more
valuable to the United States car
riers, he argued that the commission
could require them to better meet the
renadian rata levels.

to the railway shops where he started
as an apprentice,;' went on Mr. Scott,
s railing over the recollection. "A you
know, Chic la famous for his long
, hands and arms. When he first camo
to work in the shops, his arms were
o thin and he seemed so frail that the
foreman waa almost afraid to let him
do anything. He said he waa afraid
Chic would break one of his arms."
Though somewhat handicapped for
heavy machinery work, Hale stuck to
the shops and in due time became a
master machlnbrt. At this stage of hU
career, Chic was greatly interested In
fighting cocks, ana his greatest ambi
tion waa to own a champion rooster.
"One dny Chic brought his best
rooster down to the shops a he was
foing o enter him In a local cou
ps t said Mr. Scott "He lft the
rooster in a small cage In a corner of
one of the rooms aud went about his
regular business. While he waa gone
several of the boys took the rooNter
out of the cage and left an egg in its
i lace. When ( hie came buck for hit
Ighting cock all he found was a very
peaceful egg where he had left his
fighting rooster. Chic spent most of
the rext of the day hunting fur hi
rooster."
All of Rale's character are taken
from actual people whom he knew as
a boy," said Mr. Scott. Wit en about
35 years old Knle made his first Hp-
fearance on the stage, lrapersonting

a school entertainment, and 1 'hic'i

What early training In dramatics
he obtained he got from his older

'"Chic never made tbi people he Im
personated look ridiculous because It
as always done good nnturedly and
In good taste," declared Mr. Scott,
"lie tin- always mnmtained the stan
dard of dean, hiith elna entertain

owes his pucceaa. This is shown from
the fact that although he Impersonat

CHANGES IN CO-OP
Recommendations that the present
rebels system of the University ot
Oregon cooperative store be abolish
ed, that a price reduction on foods be
installed, and that the management
work toward departmentalization so
thst profits and losses may be more
easily determined, were made by a
committee of the Associated Htudenta
to the sLaudent council at the Uni
versity of Uregon Wednesday eve
ning. The committee, consisting of two
students, Itoy iierndon of Freewater
and Italph Ueyer of Burley, reported:
"The Co-operative store is efl
dentiy managed. It has shown consist
ent and healthy growth since its be
ginning." However we feel that these
two recommendation should be adopt
ed because the rebate is not consid
ered to be of any great importance by
the student body st lange. Students
do not bother to save the tickets from
their smaller purchases. The greater
percentage of the discount tickets
presented are those given on larger
sales, such M those of expensive text
books, on which no profit can be
made because of the high price lists ot
publishers, and the cost of roil trans
portation." Greater benefit will be given to the
student body if a noticeable reduction
is made upon articles such at note
book paper and ink, which every stu
dent must buy, it was stated.
The other suggestion about depart
mentalizing Abe store will require con
siderable expense but the committee
feels that only after this is done can
it be satisfactorily determined defi
nitely where the profits are being
made, where the losses are being in
curred, and the amount of these prof
its or losses.
The committee compered It with
other stores and consulted Spencer
K. Collins, certified public accountant,
who has for a number of years audit
ed the books of the Oo-op.
The total net earnings since the
foundation of the Co-op in 1U20 have
been slightly over $a7.000. Of this
$12,700 has been returned to students
in form of refunds. The remaining
$24,300 In earnings represents the
present net worth of the store and
takes the form of a more complete
and extensive stock. The store was
berun with borrowed capital only.
The report said about the manage
ment: "In fairness to Marion McClain.
manager of the Co-op. who has held
this position since the beginning of
the store in 1920. we wish to say that
our study of ths organization which
be has been Instrumental in building
n" hes satisfied us of his efficiency
and business ability

Glance at a chart of the United States show
ing all of the fruits and vegetables with ths
time whan they com on tha market, and you
will be amazed at how many long months
there are that art almost completely blank.
This of course means that during those
months the sun goes south for the winter. It Is
the concern of every man, woman and child to
ea that health does not go south with the sun.
Viewed In this true light, the canning factories and sugar refin
eries of this country extend the season of fruits and vegetables
into the winter. They place the health-giving fruits and vege
tables, together with their acids, minerals and vitamines, in
protecting cans, and place these in every grocery store through
out the United States where ws can buy them with almost no
difficulty at all, and the sugar refineries produce the sweetening
to make these healthful foods delicious to the taste.
During the long months of winter (very meal from breakfast
to dinner may well contain some health-giving canned foods.
Csnned fruits, jams, jellies and preserves for breakfast, and
canned fruits and vegetables for luncheon and dinner.

Unnecessary Expense
There is a physical limit to the amount of food we
can eat and the amount of clothing we can wear.
Beyond this limit, the expenditure is a waste or
luxury. The same is true of dental plates. When
they are comfortable, nntural-appcaring and serv
iceable there is little left to justify
Paying More for Teeth

Beware of Colds
NOW.
whether you've had
the FLU ... or not
This is the lime of year when serious cold troubles, such as
deep chest colds, bronchitis, and pneumonia are always at
their worst ,
Just now, with so many people in the weakened condition
that follows a flu attack, it is more important than ever to
heed every cold as a danger signal and check it promptly
before complications can set in.
Quick Direct Treatment
At the first sign of a coid, melt some Vicks in a bowl of hot
water and inhale its healing vapors. Also place some up each
nostril and snuff well buck. This quickly opens tne air
passages.
At bedtime, rub Vioks vigorously over throat and chest and
cover with a warm flannel. Most colds yield overnight to
Vicks two-fold action:
Acts 2 Ways at Once
(1) Its medicated vapors, released by the warmth of the body,
are inhaled direct to the inflamed air passages, loosening the
phlegm and easing the difficult breathing.
(2) At the, same timo, Vicks acts through tho skin like a
poultice, "drawing out" tightness and soreness, and thus
helping the vapors to break up the congestion.
Mothers especially appreciate this simple ex
ternal treatment because it cannot upset child
ren's delicate stomachs, as too much, "dosing"
la so apt to do.
