DO NOT COME WITHIN
PlRNIEW OF SElEION FL

My conclusion is that inasmuch as
the defendants in running their We
hiclcs on the streets of Richmond do
not make use OF the streets in way
similar TO the use made OF the streets
by the various enterprises designated
in section 124 OF the Constitution, and
in clause Of section 12a4-b. and clause
OF section l294-i Of the Code Of Vir-
rinia. they do not come within the pur-
view either OF the constitutional or
Legislative provisions requiring them
to obtain the consent of the municipal
authorities before running vehicles
along the streets OF the city.
eff by reason Of the more continual
and constant use or the streets and OF
tho number Of motor vehicles the gen
cral public is incommOded. or incon-
vcnicnccd in the ordinary use OF the
streets to which the citizens OF the
state arc entitled. this is Il matter that
calls for regulation by the municipal
authorities ana is not sufficient to call
into action the judicial department. Of
the government"

this action November IA. 1914, and six
days aftcrward the Supreme Court re-

The Saturday morning and after
noon sessions of the vocational in
stitute, held in the basement of the
Methodist church, closed the three
days session of what Supt. Snow con.
siders one of the most successful in.
stitutes held during his term of of.
| flee.
In the morning, the classes in ag.
riculture considered the subject OF
potatoes, discussing the varieties
the best sizes and shapes to be used
as seed potatoes. Potato experts tell
us that potatoes with few and shall
low eyes are the most economical
and produce the best results, also
that in shape, the fiat, oval potato
proves most satisfactory for seed.
The size of the potato desired should
be considered in selecting the seed
potato. Well drained, fertile, sandy
loan with southern slope is pre-
ferable for a potato field. Rotation
of crops applies to potatoes as we'll
as to other farm products. Incident
ally the teachers were told that the
common practice of rotation in Iowa
is corn, oats, clover. Also that
mature potatoes are always the best,
both in flavor and food value.
Hammer and saws did rapid work
in the manual training department
in order that four nail boxes, two
corn trays to be used in corn judg-
ing, and the school work bench
could be completed by closing time.
This work bench is to be kept in
charge by Supt. Snow and will be
sent to the various schools for the
boys of the school to copy in the con-
struction of their school work
benches and tool chest, as the lower
part is utilized as a tool chest and

Three ladies were chosen to decide
upon the merits of the nail boxes
