There used to be a well-grounded IL
ungrammatical conviction that eggs
is eggs," but an English magazine tells
a bit Of recent history which shows
how an impression was created in the
tight little isle that eggs were Rus
sian soldiers. A large provision
merchant in London was expecting
consignment OF eggs from Scotland
last summer Failing to receive them,
he wired to the agent in the Land of
Cakes: Have not received any eggs"
few hours afterwards came the re-

states have two cent passenger rate
and whatever loss is incurred is recov-
cred through freight revenue. The JUS
tice OF such 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 large number of states at two
cents a mile. AS a 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 a rate would yield to the 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. It's accounting during
these two years showed that two
cents mile per passenger barely
paid the out-of-pocket cost and moth
Ing was left to pay any return on
capital invested. 1t sought relief from
the courts. Expert accountants for

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 d passenger d mile. The
State. however. contended that the
railroad was earning enough surplus
on its state freight business 70 give
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 10 its contention that the
State could not segregate its pas
senger business for rate fixing with
out allowing a rate that would be
sufficient 10 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
prenre Court. Its decision responds
to the judgment OF the fair-minded
sentiment OF the country. The Su
preme Court says that. even though
d railroad earns a surplus on a par
ticular commodity by charging rea-
sonable rates, that affords no reason
for compelling it to haul another's
person or property for less than cost.
The surplus from a reasonable rate
properly belongs to the railway com
pany. II 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 a wholesome one
and demonstrates that the ordinary
rules OF fair dealing apply to railway
companies The fact that one makes
a surplus on his wheat crop would
never be urged as a reason for com
polling 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 reaffirmed the homely maxim
that each tub must stand upon it's
own bottom"

learned that this little girl knew q lot
She said that the habits OF the wild
fowls should be studied by those who
wish to raise them in captivity. They
ought to live in the woods and have
plenty of room The best brood she
ever raised was when she allowed a
turkey hen to conceal its nest in the
forest The hen brought home her
brood in splendid shape. Then the lit
tie girl summed up her turkey talk
with the statement that she believed
turkeys could be raised with profit on
any farm where there was a little boy
