SERIouS ACCIDENT

What might be called a "head-on collision" between Johnnie Easterwood and Joe Cosner yesterday morning, caused much pain to both boys and gave pr. B. B. Mouer an extra busy hour. The boys were playing ball on the public school grounds. just before the last bell sounded, with Joe pitch ing and Johnnie behind the bat. The latter knocked the ball in the air with the landing place about midway be- tween the boys. Both made a dive for it, but the ball got away and after the shock both boys lay in heap and had to be picked up. Johnnie had to be taken home and was delirious for an hour. The physician found it neces- sary to take one stitch for gash on the left side of Johnnie's nose, and two stitches for cut just under Joe's left eve. While the accident was unfOr- tunate and painful. nothing serious is anticipated. The public school team are hard workers and have not been defeated this year.

NEW RACE OF o @

At the Illinois station a series of ex-
perirnents. now In the final stage, aims to
increase gains at decreased cost, recog
nizing the fact that large gains are not al
ways inexpensive. The work, which will
be bulletined shortly, is being carried on
for the benefit OF a new race of pork pro-
ducers occupying small farms. equipped
with building requirements and other APP
~purtenances and pushing the breeding
herd to its full capacity by raising two
crops annually. 1t means abandonment
OF the practice OF using young gifts for
breeding purposes and letting them run
with fattening hogs during the period Of
growth and CESSATION, a practice largely
responsible for small filters. All through
this work nothing but pure-bred stock has
been used, a practice that will be urged
on the hog specialist OF the future. as by
following that method he can breed up
by the process OF selection.
There never will be a scarcity of pork
in this country" predicted Professor Diet
rich, who is in charge OF the work. be
cause the possibilities OF expanding pro-
duction are so great. When the new sys-
tenn Is worked out / am confident hog
growing will become an attractive propo-
sition where the squeal OF swine is now
scarcely heard. We have known SO little
about the hog in the past that the infor-
nation about to be published will be a
veritable surprise and II Is fitting that Ill
inois. essentially a pork producing state,
should be responsible for the era OF en-
lightenment." Z

JOHN DIS LAWYERS
file ADROIT REPLY
IN BIG OIL SUIT
Contest Right of Government
to Take Case to the
Supreme Court.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 12.-Counsel for
the Standard Oil company of Indiana,
in an answer filed today to the petition
of the governments attorneys for the
rehearing of the appeal from Judge
Lands judgment filming the company
$29, 240, 900 for violations of the anti-re-
bate laws. upheld the decision of
Judges Grosscup, Baker and Seaman OF
the United States circuit court of APP
peals. reversing the judgment and lift
ing the burden of the enormo fine, as
good law amply justified by the rec
ords In the case.
Point by point. the answer takes up
the arguments OF the petition for re-
hearing, which set forth the alleged err
rors, and asserts that the suggestion Of
the governments counsel that a re-
hearing be granted in order to certify
the question to the federal supreme
court Is not a proper one because there
was no division of opinion among the
judges OF the reviewing court.
In the petition for rehearing the re-
viewing judges are charged with as
Stunning hat Judge Lands attempted
to try and punish the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey in the original
proceedings, which were against the
Standard Oil company OF Indiana. On
this point the answer declares II to be
a matter OF no consequence whether
the trial court referred to the New
Jersey company or the Indiana COM
pany as not "a virgin offender"
1.-The real point is.' say the an
swer, did the trial court. in imposing
punishment, take into consideration the
relation between the Standard Oil COM
pany of New Jersey and the Standard
Oil company OF Indiana, and did it base,
it's fine upon the wealth Of the Stand,
ard Oil company of New Jersey and It's
ability to pay. instead OF upon the
wealth of the Standard Oil company Of
Indiana and it's ability to pay?"
To determine this question the Stand
ard Oil attorneys assert that a few
sentences extracted by the government
counsel from the words of Judge Lam
dis are not sufficient, and quote at
length from Judge Lands opinion to
show that he referred to the New Jer-
sey corporation as the real defendant"
and to the Indiana company as the
nominal defendant"
On the question Of knowledge OF the
rate on the part OF the defend
ant shipper. which was m of the
points on which great emphasis was
laid in the petition for rehearing, the
answer asserts nat the exceptions OF
the governments counsel are based on
a misapprehension Of the opinion and
record of the case.

the question of intent are discussed in
detail. 1t Is asserted that the reviewing
court was justified in the ruling which
It made.
On the point of the number OF Of
fenses which the petition for ~rehearing
asserted was obscure In the opinion Of
the reviewing court, the answer con-
tends that the governments counsel
has raised a cloud where there was

values which will spring into being n
der the Republican policy of dealing
with the west, and how these values
when once created are solid and real,
can be incorporated into the endur-

may begin to estimate properly the
measure of responsibility which rests
upon this nation and its chosen rulers.
This is not merely to preserve I'M

erty which leaves the individual citi-
zen free to do his share in work OF
development, but to adopt such meas
ures as will prevent the waste Of nat.
ural resources, clear the way of
progress and promote the final triumph
of civilization. The record of the Re-
publican party is one of progress.
Judge Taft not only knows and
loves the west, and favors developing
it to the maximum limit, but he also
knows Japan, China, the Philippines,
the South Sea Islands and all the
South American republics whose shores
are washed by the expansive Pacific
ocean and whose products are destined
to augment the commercial supremacy
Of our Pacific coast cities and the
trade centers on all the transconti-
mental railroads. His w%ell-known pol
icies provide for the west as well as
the east. the north and south and far
away possessions.
Looking at the great War Secretary
from this viewpoint, is there any won
der that the west is for Taft and Sher-
man?
