could not operate under its provisions
and make reasonable profit. This is
what the courts have held in similar
cases. Unconstitutional in part does
not mean. of fact, that the entir.
law wo III be so held.
Nov as to the Senate bill, IL any
trunk line could prove that a short
line could operate and make a reason
able profit at two cents per mile the
discrimination between the short lines
and the trunk lines, would in my opin
ion be held as an arbitrary classic
cation, and such classification would
be clearly unconstitutional
If the views of the lawyer quoted
are correct, an unconstitutional fea.
ture Of the Senate bill is found in the
case of the Wheeling Terminal. The
mileage Of this road in West Virginia
is about eight miles. yet its income
per mile is greater than any line in
the State. Under the Senate bill the
Wheeling Terminal would be permit
ted to charge passengers In excess Of
two cents per mile, whereas roads Of
greater, but much less profitable mile
age, must keep within the two-cent
rate. a condition of this kind would
be termed arbitrary classification and
according to the Charleston lawyer
would make the Senate bill CLEARLY
unconstitutional" If the Senate bill
is unconstitutional the railroads fond
ness for the measure and their hostil
ity to the House bill are easily under
stood.

AGED CITIZEN
OF TAYLOR DIES
AlorPHus ARMSTRONG PASSED
AWAY SATURDAY NIGHT
AT GRAFTON. 4
Day Judae John W. Ma.on.,

=
Alolphus Armstrong, one of the
oldest and best known citizens of Tay:
lor county, died Saturday night, Feb.
ruary 9. 1907. at his notel in Grafton.
He had been sick for several days,
but his death came very Unexpectedly.
No one realized until near the end
that he was so dangerously I'll.
For more than 60 years Mr.. Arm.
strong had been one of the notable
and most prominent men in the coun.
ty. He was eighty.three years old
at the time of his death.
Taylor county was created by an
act Of the general assembly of Virgin.
ia on the 10th day of January, 1881,
and was organized by appointment OF
officers as directed by the law at n
meeting held at Abraham Smith's
house on the Thursday after the sec.
ond Monday In April, 1914, at what
was then known as williamsport. now
Pruntytown. Among the officers ap.
pointed at that meeting was Edward
]. Armstrong, as clerk Of the county
court, and in May following. he was
appointed clerk of the Circuit Court
by Judge Duncan. The new clerk at
once sent to clarksburg and secured
the services Of Alolphus Armstrong
who was then boy engaged in the
clerks Office at Clarksburg.
His experience, in the Office at
Clarksburg made him valuable as.
sistant; in fact he was the only per,
son in the new office who understood
the business.
In September. 1913. E. j. Armstrong
resigned the Office OF clerk. and Adul.
plus was appointed. He was elected
clerk of both courts in 1859. and re.
elected to both offices Cor recorder in,
stead OF clerk of the circuit COURT un,
til the general election of 1873.
He was regarded as one of the most
competent clerks in the State.
In addition to his official duties he
engaged extensively In private bust.
ness, and acquired great wealth. He
never married, and his property is no
doubt disposed of by will. In politics
he acted with the Wing and Republi.
can parties on all national measures,
but was quite Independent in county
matters, but never neutral. He mad
decided views on all local questions
and never hesitated to assert them.
Mr.. Armstrong was for many years
one of the most picturesque charact.
ers in the state. He loved his friends
and was kind and generous toward
them.
Very few men. indeed, If any, ever
approached Mr.. Armstrong and asked
favor within his power which was
not granted. Taylor county will seem
unlike itself without Adolphus Arm.
strong.
His funeral services will take place
at Grafton, Monday afternoon. and the
interment at the Pruntytown cemetery
the same evening.

More Hog News

The hog industry bids fair to
make the Western farmer indie
pendent, and he is realizing the
fact by stocking up with good
blood. 1t has been demonstrated
that the west is the best section
of the United States in which to
produce pork, protitably, for the
reason that out here in the pure,
invigorating atmosphere, hogs are
immune from disease and the de-
mand is always greater than the
SUI ply, which fact insures a good
market. On our cereals and alfal-
IA we can produce as good bacon
hog as that of England and Cam
ada, which have world wide rep
utation. Those who have market
ed hogs during the past few months
have received as high as S7.25 per
hundred, which is making money
easy and fast. A farmer living
in Burlington, Colo, is the owner
of thoroughbred brood SOW which
raised 33 pigs within eight months
and these pigs sold for 1924.
Senator Ammons, of Littleton,
has six ordinary brood sows from
which he sells more than ST. 600
annually.
The sooner the western farmer
turns his attention to hog raising,
the sooner will he swell his bank
account.-R Ranch e. Range,

0Iee Raising in the Valley

The San Luis valley in south
central Colorado is one of the most
fertile spots in the state, and is ad-
mirably adapted to hog raising,
lamb feeding. sugar beet growing,
small grain growing and various
other lines of agriculture. 1t is
especially noted for its pea-fed
mutton. but in recent years farmers
there have found that hogs are
more profitable than sheep for
them, aud so there has been a de-
cided change in the operations of
the valley. Most of the farmers
begun to prepare for hog raising
and feeding. For this industry
they have many prime advantages
such as freedom from cholera, pure
water and market that pays a
premium for San Luis valley hogs.
1t is said that the finest pork that
can be produced is grown on peas
in the San Luis valley. There is
no better climate than that in this
irrigated country. Its people are
hAlthy, its stock is healthy, its
farming lands are low in price COM
pared with desirable lands in other
parts, and farmers who want to
make good investments or establish
homes in favorable section should
investigate the San Luis valley.
Now is the time to act. Land
values are appreciated. The coun-
try is being settled up with good
class of farmers from the Miss
issippi valley states. This means
good meighbors.- Chicago Breed

Mistakes of Women

One of the mistakes of women
is not knowing how to eat. If a
man is not to be fed when she is
she thinks cup of tea and any
thing handy is good enough. II
she needs to save money she does il
at the butchers cost. If she is
busy she does not waste time in
eating. A man allows nothing to
interrupt him when eating, and he
is right. A woman will choose ice
cream instead of beefsteak, and a
man will not. Another of her mis-
takes is not knowing when to rest
If she is tired she sits down, but
she will darn stockings. crochet
shawls, embroider doilies. She
don't know that hard work tires.
If she is exhausted she will write
letters or figure her accounts. She
would laugh at you if you hinted
that reading and writing could
fail to rest her All over the coun-
try women's hospitals flourish be-
cause women do not know how to
rest.-Center Dispatch.
