ord this fall and WINTER. SO far no
increase in potatoes has developed
from this source, but with the crop
cut short in many sections of this
country and the likelihood that no po-

present outcrop, the outlook for po-

it IS hardly probable that the har-

NO CREDIT GIVEN
WEST VIRGINIA
State Of Virginia Had $2A,5OO, 900 IN
vested In Twenty or More of
Them.

hi' II N'Nl', ' IL, August l9.-I nat
til" stat" of Virginia had So. SOC. .OOo
invested IN som" twenty or moro ra:l-
reads Ht the time the state was di-
Nrdcd and hat West Virginia had re-
cclvcd no credit for any part OF this
in fixing its part OF the state debt
VAS th" testimony Of G. w. Hillman.
before Special Master Littlciicld
ililiman is the chief accountant who
with nine assistants and the legal
help Of Robert l.. Gregory, has spent
several weeks going over the records
in Richmond, auditing the books AMI
verifying tn" claims of West Virginia.
lis testimony, based entirely on
public rcSordS, and verified as TO
every tatomcnt by references t1
volume and page, shows that the old
state Of Virginia made loans to Somc
railroads and bought stock in others
10 cnr0llrag" development; that tho
state was financially interested IN
One of these two ways in about
twenty railroads and that n portion
of state debt was incurred in order
to assist these roads.
They were all in what is now Vir-
ginia although the part that is now
West Virginia helped to pay for them
and received credit for no part Of tho
investment when the Supreme Court
fixed it's share Of the debt.
The testimony today shows that the
auditing Of the books not only sub
stimulates the claim Of West Virginia
that it should have credit for $20,S0O,-
900 Of railroad stocks and loans, but
it actually increased the amount orig
inally claimed by about $3,70O,000.
1t is believed the testimony OF ac-
countant IIillman will be completed
tomorrow. This places in the rec
ord Of evidence that is relied upon to
cut down West Virginia's part OF the
debt from more than $7,00O,000 to less
than $2,O00,OOO
IT is understood that Virginia will
demand that the value OF the stocks
bonds and other holdings OF Virginia
be HSccrtaincd as Of June 20, 1863,
the date when West Virginia was ad-
mittcd to the union, instead OF Janu-
airy !, 1861, the date fixed by the Sd
prcmc Court for the assumption by
West Virginia Of part Of the indcbt-
cdncSS.
AS the Civil War has smashed all
values by 1863, it would be disastrous
TO West Virginia if the court should
agree TO start the debt at one time

But don't let it run down through

When you feel the need of rest, do
your best to get it. When you find
your output of energy per day is

UP SIGNBOARDS
California Is Going After
Those Who Deliberately
Destroy Signs.

Los Angeles. Calf, Nov. ga cam
paign for the prohibition Of the use OF
firearms on public highways is planned
according to a statement by Fred L.
Baker, president of the Automobile
club Of Southern California
The destruction of signs and sign
posts erected on local highways by the
Auto club has led officials Of that or
ganfzation to the consideration of a
Campaign extending over the entire
state which may lead directly 10 the
legislature.
According to president Baker, the
matter has been precipitated by the
recent defacing of the transcontinentaI
metal signs in the Cajon Pass, where
motorists from the east will have their
first glimpse Of the southern California
roads which have made this part OF the
state famous. Bullet holes nave MADE
the signs illegible and motorists VIII
he given a bad impression Of the south
ern part Of California
For three years the Auto club mas
contended with the destruction and de-
facing Of sign posts, and this defacing
has been done almost entirely by shot
and bullets That the best way OF pre-
venting such destruction in the future
is by prohibiting the use of all fire
arms on public highways is the bel1e1
Of the Auto club officials
That the work Of destruction is done
for the most part by thoughtess van
dals is the belief of the club officers.
but they declare that in order to catch
the few who are thOughtlesss many mo-
florists must be debarred from hunI-

to ambIe across the race course at IN
frequent intervals.
Aiken had been sending ms car
along at high speed until he came 70
this street car track. He stopped MS
car. got out, walked ahead and looked
both ways to see if car was coming.
None in sight, he completed his lap
and then went to the officials with
complaint; 4.1,,
up there at the street car crossing
he asked .++.-
Nothing. only I don't take any

MOONLIGHT AUTO RACE
SUCCESS In ARIZONA

Tucson. Ariz.. Nov. 28.-The moon
light automobile race which was run
here was probably the most novel event
of its kind ever pulled off The course
was over a hill road into the Sans "a
Catalina mountains, a distance OF 81
miles, to the village of Oracle.
Two cars were entered, one urlVeh
by Rube Hopkins, a one legged G 76i1}l,-
feur. and another driven by DilIo1
Moore. an entrant in the Borderland
race from FL Paso to Phoenix.
Both cars We're equipped with hshIs,
but these gave out and they Were
forced to run part of the way by moon moon
light alone So brilliant is the slulI
furnished to Arizona, however thaI Ine
drivers had no difficulty in Keeping 70
the road It was like brilliant Whlte
ribbon, the drivers said. A.. =.
Hopkins lodged a pleasure car on Ine
wav back and ran into a SAND WASH
from which he had some Difficulty IN
Getting extricated. Moore won the race
for that reason, in two hours ana 40
minutes. although he came in on a rim
at 25 miles an hour The other car was
only five minutes behind. Both cars
had been in service a long time. Ihere
was a bet of 500 a side between the
owners Of the cars
