FARMERS,

You probably saw that hogs were
selling in the Chicago live stock
pens at $9.O5 a hundred for the best
quality.
This means that hog meat will be
very high all year.
What are you going to do about it?
Grow all the chickens you can.
Get some good cows, and have
good pastures for them.
Get good, broad sows now, and be
ready to fill your own smokehouse
next winter.
The more vegetables you have, the
less meat you will have to buy.
Get good garden seed, then, and
plant a garden.
Also, get some early corn.
Corn on the cob is most nourish-
ing food.-Memphis Commercial Ap-

But as l moved on with my caddie

WINS RAILROAD CASE
COMMERCE. COMM SSIoN CAN d.
RECT DISTRIBUTION OF CARS
illinois Central Refused Injunction
Prohibiting Enforcement of
Commissions Order.

Washington-The supreme court of
the United States Monday decided the
case of the United States vs.. the Illinois
Central and other railroad companies
doing business in the Illinois coal mining
district in favor of the government. The
case involved the right OF the Inter
state Commerce Commission to direct
the distribution of cars in the interest
of independent coal companies, and the
power of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was upheld in a sweeping de-
cision, which was delivered by Justice
White. In effect the court held that the
fuel cars of other companies were to be
counted in the quota of each particular
mine.
The decision is regarded by the gov
eminent as most important, in that it
upholds the powers of the commission,
and it is expected to have an important
bearing upon the rate cases still to be
heard by the court.
In announcing the decision of the
court, Justice White considered two OBJ
~jections to the delegation of power to the
commission, the first being that 20 such
delegation had been made by the in
t~erstate law in the matter of
the distribution of company fuel cars as
a means of prohibiting unjust prefer
ences and undue discrimination, and the
second that even if such power should
be delegated, the order ~enjOined by the
court below was beyond the authority
conferred by the law.

public. Bundles and parcels all
gave evidence of opening and hasty

being unable to reconcile them

were inspecpted. Many a man had

individual came in wrapped to the
ears in a muffler, with possibly a
new pair of gloves on his hands
and If his necktie showed, the evil
dences of brand newness were not
lost there. Children with dolls and

dence. and so were a few of the
