ANACOSTIA AND VICINITY.

Several residents Of Anacostia spent
their Labor day at Piney Point, Md,
leaving last Saturday and to return to-
morrow. The party includes Mr.. and Mrs.
T. F. Williamson, T. C. Pollock, Ralph
Beall, Paul Green, w. B. Simpson, and
r. c.. Tilghman.
Rev. and Mrs. w. G. Davenport have
gone to Montreal, Canada, to spend the
remainder Of this month. Mrs. Davenport,
who is president of the Bell Home for
Children, has had a. strenuous time this
summer to look after the seventy children,
and the rest from her duties is expected
to strengthen her for the winter work
at the Episcopal Home for Children in
Anacostia.
A strong fight is going to be put for
ward by the people of Anacostia against
the Sunday opening of five-cent theater.
The churches have already started the
campaign. and others are expected to
join In. They claim that 1t is exceedingly
detrimental to the training Of the young
people when these places keep open doors
on Sunday.
Lee Bryan recently paid visit to his
home on Morris road, Anacostia. He has
been away for several years. and now will
go to South America, where he has a
position as mining engineer with large

and sales have been confined almost exclusively
TO its remarkable properties as an eczema cure;
IL stops the itching at once and cures the worst
cases In a few days. While the application of
poslam after shaving is one Of Its minor uses,

MISSOURI RATE CASE APPEAL
TO BE TAKEN TO THE u. S. So.
PREME COURT.
Differences Between Circuit Court
and Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Be Determined.

Although no formal conference Of the
interstate commerce commission has been
held since the PRONUNCIATION of the United
States circuit courts decision in the Mis-
souri, rate case, 1t has been determined
that an appeal shall be taken to the
United States Supreme Court as soon as
possible.
Members of the commission and law
yers attached to the body are convinced
that the circuit court failed to grasp
fully the points contended for by the
commission in the trial. So far as the
commission is concerned, 1t exercised in
the PRONUNCIATION of the order in the case,
only the power conferred expressly upon
1t by the interstate commerce act.
1t decided. for instance, that the rate on
certain shipments from New York city
to Kansas City, Mo-, was unreasonable.
That. 1t is contended, is a power clearly
within the jurisdiction of the commission.
The rate Is made up of sum of the
through rate from New York to Missis-
sippi river points and sum of the local
rates from these points to Kansas City.
Question Of Rates.
The through rate from New York to
Mississippi river points is considered
reasonable by the commission. but the
sum of the local rates from the Mississip-
pi to Kansas City, when applied to
through shipments. is considered I'M
reasonably high, and by the order of
the commission it was reduced.
In a nutshell, this is the substance of
the difference between the commission
and the majority of the circuit court:
The commission maintains that the pres
ent through rates are unreasonable. and
therefore reduced them; the court issued
the injunction because. in it's judgment,
the commission had interfered with the
commerce Of the localities affected by
laying upon them an artificial hand that
Congress never intended should be put
forth, and expressly says that it is not,
in the opinion handed down, dealing with
rate adjustments or rate reductions.
Judge Bakers Dissent.
In an opinion dissenting from that of
the majority of the circuit court. Judge
Baker said:
ssThe question is not whether lawful
power or authority has been shown to
have been wrongly exercised. but whether

with torches to light the wicks In the
pots, which, when they go at full blast.
VIII reduce the temperature at least ten
degrees and save the fruit.
This method has never been tried here
because there has never been q killing

stacks OF ''smudge pots and boxes Of
Wicks piled up In the stores, and they
Will De very generally used hereafter.
Their absence cost the farmers Of Fay
cite valley many thousands Of dollars
Fruit farming on irrigated land Is not
only the easiest form of agriculture, but
| under conditions that exist here 1t is the
most profitable. There are failures, of
course. The same percentage Of shiftless
and indolent men are found in the ORCH
ard business as in any other occupation.
They do not succeed any better out here
than they would anywhere else. but in
dustrious, intelligent and thrifty hus-
bandmen are able to buy pianos for their
wives and automobiles for themselves.
They send their sons to college and their
daughters to seminaries, and you find
evidences of comfort and culture in their
homes. The farmhouses In the irrigated
| sections are of q more expensive class
than those In the east, and are supplied
with more conveniences. Many of them
are lighted by electricity, and there are
$50 subscribers to the telephone COM
pany service in this valley for popula-
ton of about 1900 and perhaps 100
houses. There is photograph in almost
every house. With a daily visit from
the free rural delivery carrier and the
ability to call up neighbor on the tele-
phone every time they think of some
thing to say. life is more cheerful and
agreeable to the farmers wife than 1t
used to be few years ago. The farmer
has his daily paper and can get market
quotations every morning over the phone
from the commission men in town. II he
has a carload of apples to ship he can
notify the railway agent In a moment.
and If the -four, butter or sugar is out
the housewife need only telephone to the
grocery. and the wagon bring 1t the next
morning.
Farmers Buy Green Goods.
One would think that these farmers
spend altogether too much money at the
green grocery and at the markets It
seems odd to see farmers wife pay
| ing 35 and 40 cents a dozen for eggs and
/! % and 80 cents pound for chickens, and
| bordering vegetables at the grocery One
would think that they would have their
own gardens, dairy and poultry yards,
but, as rule. they prefer to buy but
ter. eggs, poultry and vegetables. They
explain that II is more profitable to spend
all their time and devote all their land to
apples and other kinds of fruit.
