BEORGANIZE CHILDS' BUSINESS. 



The business of John Lewis Childs, 

 Inc., Floral Park, N. Y., of which Mr. 

 Childs was the active head until his 

 death four weeks ago, has been reor- 

 ganized. The new president is Mrs. 

 Caroline Childs; vice-president and gen- 

 eral manager, Arthur H. Goldsmith; 

 secretary-treasurer, Jay Lionel Childs. 

 All three of the sons are now in the 

 business and taking an active part. 



The oldest son, Vernon, has charge of 

 the packing department and rentals of 

 outside properties. Mr. Childs owned 

 two apartment houses, both of which 

 have a waiting list. Mr. Goldsmith, the 

 present general manager, is a brother of 

 Mrs. Childs and was formerly manager 

 under Mr. Childs, but left several years 

 ago to go into the real estate business. 

 Henry 11. Davies, who had been general 

 manager for the last eight years, re- 

 signed soon after Mr. Childs' death. 



PROTEST HIGH BAIL RATES. 



Nebraska Seedsmen Act. 



Not a few business men see in the 

 high passenger and freiglit rates lately 

 granted the railroads by tlie interstate 

 commerce commission a burden that is 

 seriously liandicapping many lines of in- 

 dustry. Among tliose wlio have ex- 

 pressed themselves strongly on this sub- 

 ject are the officers of the Western Seed 

 & Irrigation Co., Fremont, Neb., the 

 president and treasurer, Lowell Emer- 

 son, and the vice-president and manager, 

 William Emerson. This company, to 

 gain support in the rising ])rotest 

 against tlic higli rates, has sent out 

 tiie following letter to over 1,000 per- 

 sons in tlie seed trade, grain exchanges, 

 Chicago Board of Trade and commercial 

 clubs: 



We understand by the Interstate commorce rul- 

 ing that the passenger .and froiRht rates in 

 Nebraska must be increased apain, the increase 

 to take effect March 22. 1921. 



It seems to us the time has arrived when 

 tlie people of the fniteil States should rise up in 

 a lx)d.T and ]tr'>tcst to every representative and 

 every senator in Wnshingion against these con- 

 tinuous increases in passenger and freight rates, 

 also increased rates of all public utilities, sucli 

 as telegraph and telephone companies, electric 

 light, gas and pfiwer companies, street railways 

 and express companies. 



Is it not, therefore, time that some con- 

 certed action should l>e taken, when everyone is 

 trying to reduce the high cost of living, to 

 have a decrease in the rates to somelliing like 

 what they were in normal times and In keeping 

 with the reduced prices on nearly all commodities 

 at which the manufacturers and business men are
