with without putting on special train,
which would involve extra expense. This,
II was contended, amounted to taking
property without due process of law
The commission justified it's course on
the ground that compliance with the order
was necessary to accommodate large
part of the public. The supreme court of
North Carolina held against the railroad
company and its decision was affirmed by
today's action of the Supreme Court of the
United States on the ground that the order
of the commission does not affect rates,
but is proper act of state regulation.

 During periods of anxiety and unrest the president and his advisers are ap- pealed to from all quarters with suggest ed remedies for existing evils. Some are worthy of serious consideration. but many, very many, do not fall within that classification. A case in point are the suggestions of various kinds that are now made for currency reform. This subject is one of great concern to every citizen, and it must have the fullest and most careful consideration. We must not be hurried into i'll considered legislation. Panic in legislation is worse even than panic fin business for 1t strikes at the foundations of the government. r''+ In the great field of legislation what we need are fewer and better laws and bet ter enforcement of them.

 The dairy is always open to visitors but one class of persons is strictly barred. That is, people afflicted with tuberculosis in any stage. Equal care is taken.to guard against the milk product being contaminated with the germs of any other disease.
 When milking time comes a little army of men in white duck suits seize milking stools which have been scrubbed and steamed, Their white duck suits are laundered every day and are used only for milking. The milkmen are provided with bath rooms and must bathe before begin ming to milk. The cows have already been eurried and brushed until their coats shine.
 Immediately after the milk is milked into patent buckets which will admit no dust, 1t is taken to the pas teurizing department. where it is treated and bottled ready for the con- sumner.
 One of Mir wllletts' employees roughly figures that. counting in the value of the dairy buildings. which cost half a million dollars. the cows which cost for $500 to $3,5O0 each. and all the labor and other expenses. the milk he has sold has cost him about S10 gallon.

exercises of your tenth anniversary was accepted some weeks ago. Much has happened since that time. We have learned some things by experience. re- gently by a very trying experience for many of you, but one from which I hope you are even now rapidly recovering, Experience is of value to us only as we profit by it. Let us hope. then, that in what we have just been through we have all had that kind of experience. Among other things, we have learned what it means to stand steady in times of storm and stress. We have learned, too, more fully perhaps than heretofore, the value of credit in the business world and have had brought home to us anew the fact that 1t is a most delicate part of a most. delicate mechanism. We have learned where weak places were. where improper practices obtained. We have learned again the value of cooperation.
 In some directions what was weak has been strengthened. and. what is all inn portant, if any man has been guilty of a violation of trust that makes him amenable to the law we may feel conf- dent that its processes, in orderly manner and regardless of sensational indictment for or against him. will be evoked in the interest of the public.

  The financial institutions of this great city have had during the past three weeks one of the severest tests they have ever undergone. and when the people of the country realize. as those of us who are familiar with the conditions realize, what they have done to stay panic and re-estab- fish confidence the measure of public ap- proval of their service will be large indeed. Other great commercial and industrial cen- ters have co-operated. ia d back of them all has stood the government as representing all the people. seeking to aid only legiti mate interests and to render assistance to every state and every section.
 Now that the financial storm appears to be sibsiding we should turn our atten- tion more and more to the relief Of the country at large. In the south and west and on the Pacific coast and in other sec tions there are heavy demands upon all available funds for the movement of our crops. for the continuance of other mer- cantile undertakings and, what we must not for a moment forget. for the employ ment of labor.
 It is a time when every citizen should assume his share of the burden.

TO CLOSE COSTLY DAIRY.
Decides That Selling Milk at Sixty
 Gents a Gallon Doesn't Pay.

After investing fully a million dol lars, to show the world just how a dairy ought to be conducted, Howard Willetts, the famous sportsman and Whilte Plains millionaire, has decided to quit fancy farming and dairying. Not only is he going to give up pur- veying milk to those who can afford to pay 15 cents quart, to be sure it was milked by man in white duck suit who has first washed himself and bathed the COW, but he is going out of the horse business, the prize pig business, the fancy chicken business and all the other lines of breeding which have made the White Plains farm noted.
 Notice was served on the hundred or more employees of the Gedney farms. as the Willetts place is known, the first of the month that their ser vices would be required no longer than December 1. The high priced superintendents- the various assist ants, tie farmers. foremen and all the other men who have helped make the place known the world around, will all go..
 Although Gedney farms was the breeding station of Hetherjlcom. champion high jumping horse of the world and of prize winning horses. chickens. pigs and cattle without num- meF. it was the dairy farm which made 1t famous.
 The farm has been visited by learned bodies from all over the world. Boards of health the world around have pointed to it as the model milk producing establishment. Milk producers have been urged Co adopt MT WiIlett's ideas. regardless of the fact that few milk raisers are miIli0naires.
 Mir Willetts is millionaire q half dozen times over. The tiedney farm is one of the historic spots in this ueighborhood- It was the hpadqulT- ters at different times of lyoib the American and British armies during the revolutionary war.
