sources and financial strength Of the
two States at the time the dissolu-
ton was made. But the problem was
more difficult when IL came to con.
slider the matter of credits claimed by
each Commonwealth and as to the
question of interest which the State
of West Virginia repudiated.
The commissioner was sustained by
the court as to practically all of his
findings. The fact having been de-
termined that West Virginia should,
In good faith, pay interest. the court
was confronted by a delicate prob
lem OF fixing the rata to he imposed.
Justice Hughes. who read the opin-
ION. held that West Virginia could not
be expected TO assume the burden of
interest upon interest. or of the re-
funding operations of the State of
Virginia after the separation oc-
Cured. But by a system of allow
.ances he reached the conclusion tina.
the State of West Virginia should pay
four per cent on the principal for the
weriod between January /, 1851. and
July, 1891. and three per cent there
after. computed up to the time the
decree becomes effective. and there
after the rate shall be Ave per cent

|, Contract of Separation.
The contract Under which the
States were separated provided that
West Virginia should assume her
equitable proportion of the public
debt" Many exceptions were filed
by the two States, West Virginia
tried to make the claim that interest
should run only from the date when
the separation actually became ef-
fective, July i. 1863. instead of the
date of the agreement, January /
1851, but the Supreme Court upheld
the decision of the master who took
the testimony in the case. The court
approved the finding that West Vir-
ginia was entitled to credits amount
ing 10 about $4,000, 900, which rep
resents the enhancement In value oil
bonds and securities, and the inter
est and other appreciation of the
sinking fund held by the old State OF
Virginia to pay the public debt. The
State of Virginia wanted to shut out
the offspring from participation IN
any Of. the increment that followed
the separation.
The decision involved some fine
bookkeeping methods and the appll-
cation OF original methods of deter
mining values of securities held by
the State of Virginia in 1851, and at
subsequent times.

Dye Situation Sad.

The immense bulge in the ron and
steel business, in the textiles, in evely-
thing affected by war orders, has
spread to every industrial section Of
the country. Cotton mills in the
South are as rushed with orders as
are cotton and wooden mills in the
North and East The dye situation is
very bad, good many orders having
been refused because particular cOlors
could not be turned out. The vast
fluctuations in the price of cotton in
the last year are reported somewhat
20 have added to decentralization in
this trade.
Some mills stored immense quanti-
ties of cotton around Z cents; now
they are in position to make profits on
it; while concerns that did not buy re-
serve stocks then, are today reluctant
to pay Is cents, and then have their
product complete with that of the Z
cent fiber.

Those who give satisfactory evidence
of having read intelligently seventeen

Mr.. Foght says 1.-The greatness and
future of the American nation depend
on the prosperity of its rural communi-
ties. The 5O000,000 men. women and
children who live in the open country
and in villages and small towns must
have more adequate opportunity for
wholesome and renumerative living.
This calls for a new leadership which
can come to rural communities only
through the highest degree of educa-
ton of a cultural and practical kind.
The vital factor in education is the
teacher The rural school teacher
means more for rural education and
rural life than the city teacher can
mean for urban education and urban
life
Therefore we must look TO the coun-
try teachers and their preparations.

everywhere The danger of an era of
speculation is regarded as very great !;
and it is iii anticipation of just such
a condition that the board has recently
authorized the emphatic declaration
that there ought to be gold stock of
a billion or even two billions of dol
lars at the instant command of the re-
serve banks, instead of the $3.50, 000,-
900 or Whereabouts that they now hold.
The board is urging that the reserve
banks need not worry about unem-
ployment of some of their available
money stocks at this time; they may
need these much more insistently la
ter on.
The tendency to speculation, and to
extrava gance, on the strength Of the
big crops and general industrial &C
tivity, is indicated in many sections

belt it is reported that many planters,
