CHICAGO STREET CAR SERVICE
COMPLETELY TIED UP IN STRIKE

CHICAGO, June Chicagoans,
approximately 100000 of them,
walked, motored and used steam
roads to their work today. Strike
of $4,000 street car employees went
into effect at midnight last night.
Not a wheel on >the 1910 miles of
track of surface and elevated lines
turned after o'clock this morning,
when the last crews took their cars
into the barn. 1t was the first time in a
generation that all street car service
in Chicago was completely tied up.
The strike was carried without dis
order according to early reports. 700
policemen were on guard at the vari-
GUS car barns throughout the city to
watch property and to prevent crowds
from congregating. The men cheered
as they left their cars. Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young, superintendent of pub
lie schools, asserted that attempts
would be made to continue the schools
without interruption, although the
problem Of transporting 1000 teach
ers gave grave concern. Arrange
ments to furnish 5000 strike break
ers to operate cars were put into OPP
GRAFTON today. Agents of the two
electric lines had arranged, it was
said, to provide food and sleeping
quarters in several large hotels. En-
ployment agencies did record bust
ness in procuring. men for strike
work. Banquet halls, sample rooms
and even the roofs of large down
town hotels have been converted into
sleeping quarters for $4,000 persons
who will be obliged to live near their
places of business during the strike.
The demand for cots to be placed in
Office buildings was exceedingly brisk.
Thousand of persons have planned
to sleep in their offices. Managers
of theatres announced that they would
close unless the strike was speedily
settled Baseball at the National
League ball park, the only Chicago
club now on the home grounds, prob
ably will be postponed after today's
game.

REPAIRING TETER BUILDING

Floyd Teter has begun to tear down
and rebuild the upper walls Of his
building. A big job, of course, but it
is time that this building should have
something done with it. Had the in
surance companies acted on the square,
Belington would have had this restor-
ed to its original strength, finished
and beauty long ago. 1t is hoped
that the building can be REINFORCED
to such an extent as to make it safe
and useful.

THREE BOYS
From West Virginia Are Graduated
from the West Point Military
Academy.


WASHINGTON, d. c., June ID
Several Of the relatives of three
West Virginia boys who were gradu-
ated from West Point last week, are
staying here for a few days before
proceeding to their respective homes
in the state. They report that there
were more West Virginians present
at the West Point Academy COM
mencement this year than ever be-
fore, due to the fact that West Vir-
ginia never at any time had as many
as three of it's gifted and fortunate
boys to issue forth from the academy
into the army service, which was the
number this year
The three West Virginians, who
received diplomas are Karl G. Cor
man, Of Morgantown; Joseph Jesse
Teter, of Belington, and NJ. H.
Quesenberry, of Montgomery, all
three standing high in their aver
ages and high in the esteem Of the
faculty and the Student body. When
German stepped out of the line to
receive his sheepshin, he was given
an ovation by his fellow students
Besides being a first-rate student,
German was popular as an athletic
hero. Quesensberry and Teter were
of the .simmortals," the fellows who
constitute the "rear guard" and, ac-
cording to tradition, make the finest
soldiers.

Supreme Court Says State Owes the
Sum of S12,s9s,929.
Special Master Littlepage Upheld in
Every Particular Except One.
Litigation Is Over Unless Court il
Forced To Enforce The Decree.

WASHINGTON, June 14..-The
amount which West Virginia will have
to pay as its share of the old debt Of
the State Of Virginia when the state
was divided was fixed by the supreme
court of the United States today at
$l2,393,929, with interest at five per
cent, from today till paid. The prin-
cipal Of the debt was fixed in 1911 at
$7,182,507 Credits were today al
lowed on this amounting to SO ,966 900.
leaving the principal of the debt $4,-
'215,000. On this it was found that
interest should be charged from jan
uary /, 1861, at the rate of A per cent.
up to January l, 1891, from which
time till the present the rate Of in
terest was to be but per cent. In
terest from the date when it was held
that West Virginia's liability began
to run was arbitrarily fixed by the
court at per cent. From January
1, 1891 to the present the rate of
3 per cent, was fixed because that
was the rate Of interest paid by Vir-
ginia on its refunding bonds issued
about that date in settlement Of its
part on the debt up to today, part Of
the time at per cent, and the rest
at 3 per cent, amounts to $8,178,000,
bringing the entire debt with inter-
est up to the present time up to more
than $12,000,000 The report Of the
late Charles II. Little as special mas
ter, was upheld in every particular ex-
cept one minor finding. One item, re-
lating to Virginia's claim against the
United States for Idian lands amount
ing to about 100000, was found to be
erroneous. The report Of the master
in fixing January /, 1861, as the date
for valuing the liability, credits and
beginning Of net liabilities was upheld
by the court.
Justice Hughes announced the opin-
ion Of the court and said the decree
would provide that interest at the rate
Of per cent, would be charged from
the date of the decree until the debt
is discharged.
The case has been before the SUI
preme court for several years, the
original opinion as TO West Virginia's
liability being in 1911. At that time
the court made it very clear that, in
the opinion Of the court, some means
would be found to enforce it's decree,
should that be necessary. An effort
was made by the court to have the
two states agree upon the question
Of interest, but very early in the pro-
it was found this could not
be DONE
The reduction Of the principal was
] victory for West Virginia, much
more than offset by the opinion that
interest must be paid on the amount
'or which West Virginia has been
ound liable. There is no appeal from
he final opinion of the supreme court
# the United States and the famous
I'D case seems to be ended unless it
hould become necessary to begin
curt proceedings to enforce the
curtis decree.

MAKING THE MOST OF LAMB
tIousekeeper VIII Find This Arrange
ment a Help TO the Cutting OF
Her Bills

Every housekesper is on the look
out to save in these days OF high
cost Of living. especially in meats.
Here is one way to save mutton or
lamb. II, on Saturday a forequarter
OF mutton or lamb is purchased.
weighing from seven TO ten pounds,
II should be divided as follows:
Shoulder, neck, breast, French chops,
bones and trimmings The shoulder is
boned. pocket cut for filling, that
makes the roast; stuffed shoulder OF
lamb or mutton for Sunday dinner
and cut cold for Monday luncheon or
supper
Then the neck is boiled with the
shoulder bone and trimmings. max
ing two quarts OF lamb broth. TO be
used for soup for Mondays dinner.
The meat is trimmed from the neck
bones for lamb croquettes. meat salad
or loaf. The breast is stewed, OF
curried with rice. The choicest part
is left. that is. one dozen frenched
lamb chops.
OF course. you must be able TO tell
your butcher Just how you want II
cut and trimmed. The chops are
frenched. chine removed, but the
chops are not cut apart. That is left
for the housekeeper to do. cutting just
as needed The trimmings from the
chops are boiled with the neck and
bones, strained, and when cold all
fat is removed and clarified for drip
pings
From this forequarter you have the
following dishes, always for four per.
sons:
Roast stuffed shoulder, hot for Sun,
day dinner.
Roast stuffed shoulder. cold for
Monday. with soup 1.-TWO quarts for
soup stock.
Lamb croquettes or meat loaf for
Tuesday
Stewed or curried lamb for wednes
day.
Lamb chops which can be kept for
Thursday.

will run away from the building when
IL rains and leave a dry floor.
II the winters are cold, put up
few cross rafters under the roof and
fill this space with straw. This will
keep the moisture from collecting on
the walls and ceiling and dripping
down on the floor in zero weather.
Then put in roosts that can be fold
ed out OF the way or taken out in
cleaning, and nests that can be taken
out and cleaned once in a while. Cow
er up all the rat holes with galvan-
lied iron, and fix a muslin curtain over
the window. so that a good air circu-
lation can be maintained.
And then II there is any spare paint
about the place, give your poultry
house coat OF paint. II makes the
place look as though you meant busi-
ness. and that is a big asset in any
business.
A roll OF roofing paper. few nails,
some old boards, and a little enter
prise will turn the oldest and most
ramshackle poultry house into profit
able investment There is no excuse
for not housing your poultry properly.

POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER
BY the Use Of osalie Acid the Utensii
May Be Kept in the Best Of
Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance OF a
kitchen, as all housekeepers know.
The boiler may be kept in state OF
brilliancy by the use OF a solution
of oxalic acid and water. Five cents
worth OF the acid dissolved in a
quart of warm water win last
through many cleaning days.
Best results are obtained by apply
Ing the solution to a warm boiler.
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
q cloth wrung out in warm water
and then polished with dry cloth.
The best part of the process is that
no elbow grease" is required. In a
few minutes a dull. dingy boiler be.
comes bright and shining with but
little effort
All copper articles not having a
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution. and Il also serves
as brass polish.
Keep in a safe place, as oxalic acid
is poison.

should be fed in the proportion OF
one part OF the wheat bran TO six parts
OF the corn. This, with corn stover
as roughage and with an occasional
feed OF oil meal or a change 20 some
OF the concentrated feeds like clutter
meal, will supply a fairly balanced
ration and not costly one. Those
tho have to do with farm affairs are
coming more and more to figure out
these problems instead OF guessing at
what they should do or working on
the same plans they followed years
ago. when conditions were, perhaps,
much different This Is going In the
right direction and the ultimate re-
suits will not fail to be satisfactory.

and 1t pays excellently well for the
time and money spent, In fact, there
is no other animal which the man of
moderate means can raise that will
do the farm as much good and bring
in as much clean money.
Your sheep must always be well
cared for, summer and winter
Have place where they can get
under cover quickly in the event OF
sudden storms, which are likely at
this season of the year. A structure
OF this kind should be more than a
roof; 1t should be so deep that the
sheep can get far enough under so
that the storm cannot possibly reach
them. 1t should also be hooded
shed; that is, some provision should
be made for a low front that will
break the storm.
| II this is not feasible, a good way
Is TO build up a straw stack or stack
of cornstalks In the open In front of
the open part of the shed but several
feet away so that the sheep will not
feel they are penned In, yet can read
lily get in by going aground the stack
on the other side.
The floor should be dry at all times,
and II is an excellent plan to have
more or less roughage which the
sheep may MUNICH over to keep them
happy and contented.
It is not intended that this shed be
more than place of cover in case OF
storm. The barn or stable should be
the regular home and arranged for
comfort.
The subject OF marketing is one OF
the greatest importance and quite

THICK CREAM GAINS FAVOR
Colorado state Dairy inspector An

One Of the most common questions
arising among cream producers and
handlers OF cream is that Of how thick

Cream skinned so as TO test be-
tween IS per cent and 20 per cent IL Of
the most desirable thickness. Thick
cream keeps better than thin cream.
there is also not the waste in handling
a smaller bulk Of cream than there IS
OF larger amounts In the way Of
hauling and express charges. more
over the skim milk is kept on the farm
for feeding calves and pigs. II it is
too thick, there Is a loss in some Of
the cream going over into the skim

from the amount OF cream that viii

A uniform richness Of cream may

Exactly the same butterfat test

season
