This report from the commission
is very encouraging to US, asserted
the mayor in commenting upon the
appraisal. ct looks as though there
was some water mixed in this thing
some where. The appraisal shows
about half the valuation claimed by
the Indiana & Michigan. OF course,
in fairness to the company. it prob
ably estimates the probability Of in
creasing business as one Of it's large
assets"
According to Mayor Keller. the

Pany is $5.4O4,OOO more than the
valuation set by the commission.
He said that appraisals Of the prop
erty are also being made by the
company and by a staff of consult
ing engineers employed by the city.
The mayor believes that the ap-
Praisal made by the commission
will prove the need OF a reduction
in rates for consumers and is con-
fdent that the commission will rec
cgnize this when the final fight

ISOLATION.

CHRISTIANIA, Norway, Dec. "a.
Henry Ford has abandoned his
peace party because of illness.
Mr. Ford was a passenger on the
Norwegian liner BergensfjOrd which
sailed for New York this morning.
Before leaving Mr. Ford said that
the peace expedition would continue
under the auspices Of the Women's
International Peace association. D..
Accompanying the peace apostle
was the Rev. Samuel :. Marquis.
dean of ST. Pauls cathedral of De-
,roit, Mich.
The departure of Mr.. Ford ended
his personal activities in Europe to
get the boys out of the trenches
before Christmas"
1t was known TO the American
pacifst's friends that he felt deeply
the fractional disputes that occurred
on the steamship Oscar II, and the
GOODNESS of the European newspa-
pers toward his mission.
The BergensfjOrd sailed from Ber-
gen. Mr.. Ford left this city for
Bergen at s o'clock this morning,
travelling incognitO.
The Bergensfjord is the last neu-
trail steamer. sailing for the United
States from Norway until Jan. Z.
DR.. Kuron, who had been treating
Mr. Ford, said:
The patient was not suffering
from any organic trouble. but he was
i'm urgent need of a rest.
The pacifst leader, before leav-
ing. told his friends that, if his
health permitted, he would join the
party later.
1t is regarded as practically GER
tain that Mr. Ford will be selected
a member of the neutral conference
on peace, no matter whether he is
in Europe or the United States when
the international conclave is held.
LONDON, Dec. 24-Copenhagen
dispatches received today announc-
ing that the peace ship oscar ii ar
rived at Stockholm last night, also
brought reports that the expedition
organized by Henry Ford would be
disbanded it's leaders having COM
pletely abandoned hope of arrang-
ing any conference Of neutral dele
gates that would have definite re-
suits.
The fact jhat many prominent
Norwegians who were asked to be-
come delegates declined, is said in
the dispatches TO have so deeply
disappointed the aggressive mem
bers of the peace party that they
would make no efforts at either
Stockholm or Copenhagen TO enlist
additional pacifsts.
Conflicting reports as TO the pres
ent whereabouts of Mr. Ford con-
tinued 10 arrive here. Some had the
Detroit manufacturer seriously i'll
at Christiania; others said that he
had gone to Bergen to sail for the
United States and one reported that
he had gone to a sanitarium in Nor
way TO rest until the oscar III could
reach Copenhagen.

Sermons
on Farms
"see that the vegetable, matter is

"see that the vegetable, matter IL
thoroughly incorporated with the
SOIL" says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture's office Of farm
ers' cooperative demonstration work,
to those who have used green cover
crops and wish to handle their land
for the succeeding crop In the most
desirable manner. II the farmer is to
expect good results from his cover
crop he must not act In q hurry and
neglect this important part Of the
work. The disc and smoothing har-
row should be used until the soil Is
well pulverized and the vegetable mat
ter mixed throughout the soil.
The state at which a cover crop
should be turned under depends upon
the soil, weather conditions and the
crop that is to follow. Where corn is
to be planted ON crimson clover land,
the clover should be turned under just
when the bloom begins to appear.
1t is sometimes advisable to turn
under earlier on account of the soil
being in good condition. whereas If
put off for few days or a week, dry
weather might prevent the work being
done as it should be.
When the cover crop consists of
rye or other small grain, it should
be turned under when about knee
high. II the condition Of the soil pre-.
vents blowing at this time, double disc
the crop a couple Of times and this
will prevent the further drying out Of
the SOIL
Never turn the clover or other crop
under without first thoroughly cutting
up with disc harrow, as the material
plowed under in a layer seriously in
terferes with the capillary action of
the moisture in the SOIL

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the inAamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process Of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that SCOTS Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.
