of the tremendous success with which

On 1wo.Cent Passenger Rates

both the State and the Railway Com
pany testified that the claims of the
railroad were sustained by the facts,
Two cents did not pay the cost OF
carrying passenger a mile. Inc
State, however, contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business to give a
fair return upon the capital used in
its passenger as well as its freight
business. For the purposes of the
case. the railroad did not deny this,
but held to its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing rate that would be
sufficient to pay the cost of doing
business and enough to give some
return upon the capital invested in
doing the business regulated. This
was the issue presented to the Su-
preme Court. It's decision responds
to the Judgment of the fair-minded
sentiment of the country. The Su-
preme Court says that, even though
railroad earns surplus on par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another
peEson or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com
pany. If the surplus is earned from
an unreasonable rate then that rate
should be reduced The State may
not even up by requiring the railroad
to carry other traffic for nothing or
for less than cost
The decision is wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules of fair dealing apply to railway
companies. The fact that one makes
surplus on his wheat crop you'd
never be urged as reason for com
pelling him to sell his cotton at less
than cost. 1t would not satisfy the
man who wanted bread to be told
that its high price enabled the cotton
manufacturer to get his raw product
for less than cost. In this case the
court reafiirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon its
own bottom"

Weeds-A Good Crop We DO Not Want

This is the time of the year when the

follows:
"The weed law, we have such law
ought to be put into effect Immediately
1t ccmpels the cutting of all noxious

but along the highways and even IN

AT meeting OF q number OF the

wick County Fair some time the latter
part of September the exact dates to
be determined by the general COM
mitt on arrangements where they had
had an opportunity to invesgate dates
OF the fairs to be held in other cou-

meeting that there was to be no shirk-
ing OF work but that every one was
expected to do his part toward max
. ing this fair success and not to
leave all Of the work to be done by
. few individuals.
The committee on general arrange

E. F. Clayton, B. d. Parker Jr., o. s.

committee have the right to appoint
any other committees necessary to
make the fair success.

to get into the game hard If the sue

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice of such a procedure was recently
passed upon by the Supreme Court
of West Virginia and the decision is
SO far-reaching that we have asked
L. E. Johnson. president of the Nor
folk and Western Railway whose road
contested the case to briefly review
the suit. Mr.. Johnson said in part:
Some ten years ago, passenger
fares were fixed by the legislatures
of a large number OF states at two
cents a mile. AS basis for such
economic legislation, no examination
was made of the cost OF doing the
business SO regulated, nor was any
attention given to the fact whether
such rate would yield to tho rail-
way companies an adequate or any
net return upon the capital invested
in conducting this class of business.
"Such a law was passed in West
Virginia in 1907. The Norfolk and
Western Railway Company put the
rate into effect and maintained it for
two years. Its accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the outofpocket cost and moth
ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested 1t sought relief from

An Interesting Letter From Italy

Mrs. Ida Zoppelli,

Dear Sister:
Your letter received and on no
ticing the date l see that it has taken
month to arrive.
On your question as to how the war
is progressing. l am afraid my an
swer is very different from what you
will notice the difference between the
reports of the Italian papers and those
of the Germans: or course it is ma
tural that each one should give as
much credit totheir country as pos
sible. =.
Here at Udine for the last two mon
lily that are conducting soldiers to the
front: They are of all ages from 10
years up. And if you could only see
. with what enthusiasm and JOY they go
to fight for their country. I'VE fight
for the greatness of beloved Italy. is
their cry.
AS fast as they go to the front in the
same way the hospital trains come
back loaded with wounded. And they
! all look out of the windows waving at
the people Some with their heads
bandagcd others with arms or legs
taken off and still they are as happy
as if nothing was The matter.
| The Doctors say that all they talk
about is getting well so that they will
soon he able to go again to the front
| and fight for the home country. They
are all positive that Italy will win.
| And certainly would not be sur
prised if she did win. AS on this sid
of Tineste they have already taken
several towns, on the other side it is
all taken and soon they will be at
Rovereto: and when all that couatr?
is taken the people might settle down
and there will be peace.

DEEP FURROw HOLDS SEASONS

RAIN-By CnarleS CTlStaOOTO
II you furrow your land II inches
deep. plowing or say discing shallow
at first before the rain and then after
the first rain driving the plowshare
deeply into the moist soil, you open
the mouth of the earth to abundantly
drink from the clouds. And the rain
fills furrOw and gravity takes 1t far
down into the earth, there to be stored
for future use. The saying that, What
goes up must come down." is reversed
for what water goes down in the earth
must come up again or 1t will be of no
service to the plant roots. So We start
in and trap the moisture from the
clouds. and once in the ground, the
trick the science Of good farming is to
brig it up again as far as the root in
fluence, and stop 1t there. Thus far
and no further The thirsty air blow
ing over the fields wants it, and were
crust formed upon the surface thrO-
ugh capillary attraction. would soon
draw it away. So If crop is to be
put in after plowing land summer fall
lowing be not employed. we start
capillary attraction by surface pack
ing the earth around the seed drilled
in. The packed earth connects with
the wet earth below and thus con-
tinuity is established, a capillary con-
duit established, with the water stored
below. The seed is snugged into firm
moist earth, when drilling follows sub
surface packing now having insured
the capillary uptrend of the moisture
&! from the underlying stores, the next
point is to see that the grain gets the
free benefit of such moisture, and we
nccomplish that when we break the
further capillary action by the mulch
ing of the surfce.
And we do more than that, especial
ly If we harrow the soil once or twice
even after the grain is up. we destroy
weed life and when we do that we pre-
vent the water-sucking and transpir-
ing roots and growth from dividing the
stored moisture with the grain roots
below. Hot winds and weeds will turn
sodden field, wet six feet down, into
patch of desert land as dry as dust
in an incredibly short period OF time
When a wise farmer harvests his grain
he will follow at once with the disc
and harrow and freshly break and
imulch his ground to retain. keep
stored any surplus moisture that
was left unused on the ground after
the crop was matured and harvest
ed. That's economic, scientific and
successful farming-the economic con-
conservation of the unused moisture
in the soil.
! If the land is to be summer fal-
lowed the subsurface packing may
:,e dispensed with, perhaps to th'-
greater benefit along the lines OF soil
bacterization. When we open up the
earth by plowing and mulch thesur-
face the land does not lie idle by
any means, even If it is summer fall
lowed and a crop be not drilled in.
