Progress In Valuation.
with respect to the hours of serv-

Attention is again directed to the
fact that great diversity OF opinion
prevails among the courts as to the
proper penalty to be assessed for vio-
lAtion of the hours of service act, PEN
alties ranging from 1 cent to $3.50
having been assessed in actual cases.
The commission therefore respectfully
renews the recommendation made in
previous reports that the penalty of
not to exceed $500 be supplemented
by q provision for a minimum penalty
OF $780,"
In a review Of the valuation work
the commission reports that good
progress is being made, but that 1t
will be four years before the valua-

Local light harness horsemen are now
on the first lap of 1915. They know
where they are going and they are on the
way
The start was made last Tuesday even
ing at one Of the best attended, and by
far, the most enthusiastic meeting Of
men interested in the light harness horse
in this city within the last ten years.
The District of Columbia, Maryland and
Virginia Breekers' Association has be-
come an established institution. and there
is every reason to believe that it will
grow in strength and produce important
results.
On Tuesday evening last, a definite
step was taken to enlarge the usefulness
OF the association. Two stakes were
added to the former list-a three-year-
old racing stake and a four-year-)lds trOt-
ting stake. There is every reason to be-
lieve that breeders and horse owners will
generously respond to the call. and that
when the youngsters are lined up some
time in August for the final test that all
interested will be proud Of their efforts.
1t should be the endeavor OF all per
sons interested in these stakes to have
them raced of at as early date as pos
sible. 1t is the long preliminary trials
that play havoc with young horses. Too
many good youngsters are killed of be-
fore they get to the races. Our experience
in this respect is too recent to have es-
capped the observation of men who have
watched closely the development Uf
horses of tender years.

ways in danger of exacting too much
from his colt
On the other hand. We in this section
| have always been too tender with our
| three and four year Olds. AS a rule very
few of them are raced. and they become
bill of expense to their owner. There
should be a speedy revolution in this re-
spect. Moderate racing will make better
| horses of them. and racing associations
If encOurag aged by entries will always be
glad to give them space on their cards.
Breeders and owners of light-harness
horses should bear in mind that, owing
to the almost universal use OF motor
cars, the sphere of the weIl-bred harness
horse is limited to the race track. If he
fails in that field of action hard work in
other fields is his portion.
As a road horse he is a thing of the
past, and there is not single sign that
he will ever return to his former sphere
OF usefulness. The sooner this important
fact is realized the better. We live in A
rapid age. We do business on the jump.
from the going up ~ the sun to its going
down. and time is precious if one expects
TO compete with ones fellOw-men in busi-
ness. Besides. why should one breed for
speed If the horse so bred is not to he
tried out on the race track? If he fails
in the purpose for which he is bred. the
sooner the fact is discovered by his owner
the less the expense involved. We hope
that this year owners Of three and four
year olds in this section will revise their
tactics.
Where we shall race off our stakes in
1915 is another important question. II
the Montgomery County Fair Associa-
tiOn will deal with colt owners as lib
orally as We have reason to expect
they will, and as liberal as the asso-
citation should, under all the circum-
stances. there is every reason to be
lieve that we can draw an attendance
TO the fair that will fully compensate
the association for its pains and eX-
pense. We need not go before the
members of the association in a beg
events of public interest. Give us what
is fair and we will do the rest.
The stakes close March l. and every
person interested in them must be on
hand with his entries and money or
remain out. The fees are only $3.50
per month. and the final payment on
the day of the race is only S1J. The
terms are so easy that no colt owner
who has in his veins the red blood
of a sport can afford to remain out. We
are Sanguine enough to believe that
the entries this year will break all pre-
vious records. Public interest was
never as high. and at no time were
there as many highly bred and prom

From the Cincinnati Enauirer.


 What has become of the old-fa shioned red and green glass jars with the lights behind them that used to stand in the windows of the old-fashioned drug stores There are other disappointments in life. But the big disappointment comes when you try to judge a woman by her tele- phone voice.
 When bachelor has lived 30 years he is 30 years old. But when a single girl lives 30 years she is 22 years old.
 The lad who gets black spots in front of his eyes from overeating always pities the lad who gets pink snakes in front of his eyes from overdrinking.
 About this time of year some of the June brides are wondering how the ani- mals they married ever managed to dodge the dog catcher
 When we do not like a man we always tell other men about 1t. But we never think of telling the man himself.
 The man who isn't afraid of his wife either isn't much of man or he hasn't much of wife.
 Judging from the summer coats the girls are wearing the Society for the Suppress sion of Useless Noises must be on va cation.
 The man who carries the butt of a Flor de Glue factory cigar into a street car is the same lad who gets mad because he has to sit beside a man who is carry Ing home mess of limburger cheese.
 A thin girl is just as fond of nice sill, stockings as corn-fed girl because the thin girl realizes that lots of men do moi care for veal.

Public Sale of Shorthorns

In all the wide range of farm di- versification no branch of husbandry has made more progress in Alabama within the past two years than live stock and especially the breeding and fattening of beef cattle. In several counties this industry ranks first and in many of them it will soon have first place.
 For the purpose of emphasizing the importance of the cattle industry in Alabama public sale of shorthorn and Angus bulls and heifers from Sumter county will be conducted on the capitol grounds at Montgomer-- tomorrow under the auspices of the Montgomery Chamber of Commerce. Governor Henderson will preside and the members of the legislature will attend.
 This event should attract farmers from different sections of the state.

celebrated English actor, Cyril Maude, as the star.
 Three years ago George Arliss broke all records there with his famous run In "Disraeli," which lasted one en- tire season and Hangover" This season Granville Barker and his Lon don company, liberally backed by a number of wealthy business men who aspired to act as patrons of the drama, presented at Wallack's his idea of the thew art" of the theatre to New York.
 The career of Wallack's theatre be- gan with the engagement of Lester Wallack in 1882, when "The School for Scandal" was presented by the Wallack stock company. John Gilbert was Sir Peter and Rose Coghlan was Lady Teazle. During MT. Wallack' s control of the house many prominent stars appeared there. Kyrle Bellew made his American debut at this play house. In 1888 A. M. Palmer took charge of the house, calling it Pal mer's theatre, but when he surren- dered the lease in 1896 to Theodore Moss the former name was restored
