Reduced Freight Rates Considered by Interstate Commission
Kansas Attorney General Richard J. Hopkins reports the Interstate Commerce Commission is thoroughly considering a western grain and hay rate reduction. The case, filed by Clyde M. Reed for Kansas utilities, opened August 15 and runs into this week, with the aim to lower rates and remove barriers between producer and consumer while protecting railroads. Hopkins notes a recent 3 cent cut from Kansas to gulf ports, tied to competition from eastern reductions and Canadian routes, intended to realign traffic and aid producers.

Cold air well powers Mrs. Lowenstein home cooling
Newark, Sept. 5 A artesian well that ceased producing water now blasts cold dry air. Owned by Mrs. Jacob Lowenstein the well cools the refrigerator dries laundry and keeps coal dry in hot weather. Neighbors once tried to seal it but the strong current blew stones away. She capped the well and pipes to flood the house with cold air as desired.
