Temporary injunctions restraining

1 Temporary injunctions restraining from putting into effect its new g. cents-a7mile passenger rate or ak road over S5 miles long and 3 cents a mile on railroads under that length were granted in United States District Court to the St Louis Southwestern Railway. the St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, the Chicago, Rock Island x Pacific, the Pine Bluff, Arkansas River and the Warren & Ouachita Val ley Railway Companies.
 The restraining orders already granted in the United States District Court to the St Louis & San Francis co Railway Co, and to the Kansas City Southern Railway Co, against the enforcement of new freight rates by the Arkansas Railroad Commission were continued in force by order Of the three judges until December II.
 The action of the court means as soon as bonds to protect the State of Arkansas are filed and approved by the Court, four of the railways will be permitted to put into force Scent passenger rate and the Warren & Ouaehita Valley Railway Company may put into. effect 5-cent passenger rate. These rates will be in force till the final settlement of the case be- tween the State and the railways, which will be heard in St. Louis, De- cember II, that date having been set by the Court.
 The Court fixed the bonds of the railway cases to cover the excess Of the Scent rate over the 2-cent rate as follows: St Louis Southwestern. $30000; St Louis, Iron Mountain & Southern, s50,000; Rock Island, $30.- 0e0; Pine Bluff, Arkansas River Co. $5,000. The bond in the case of the Warren 6 Ouachita Valley Company. to cover the excess between Scent mile rate and the 5-cent passenger rate, was set at $5,000.

HINSDALE. N. il.
Bordeaux Mixture Saves Potatoes.

The state agricultural college extension
service has been of considerable benefit
to the farmers the past summer with
their demonstration plots of the various
farm products which have been located in
different parts of the state The most
important fact probably that has been es-
tabiished is that potatoes can be success
fully grown under very unfavorable wealth
er conditions
The blight which occurred throughout
the state thrived on the excessive wet
weather, while the tubers suffered CORE
spondingly The demonstration plots Of
potatoes, however, produced excellent
crops, due to spraying the plants with the
so-called Bordeaux mixture. No rotten
potatoes We're found in the fields so treat
ed, while in some of the adjacent fields
which had not been sprayed the rot was
SO great that it was hardly worth while to
harvest the crop.
The demonstration work was under the
direction of Prof. L. NJ Straight of the
state college, and it is thought that this
work will be made a permanent institu-
ton in the future

Of the towns interested, with the state
putting in what it 90 ID the worst
parts of thcroai could be eliminated
He pointed cut that Searsburg, with
its grand list Of less than $1,000, is
heavily burdened to maintain a road
With a surplus of only $92, 900 it can
not be expected that 100000 can be
on this one highway. It
must be fairly distributed throughout
the state. Someone had to pay for the
heavy expense of the Mohawk trail
which is said to have cost $345, 600.
The state has only so much to spend
and if more money than is rightly due
to this section of the state is to be
spent on this crossroad the towns in
terested must raise more.
He expressed satisfaction that men
large interests and all of
the southern part of the two counties
are asking for something. He finds
it easier to help when asked and when
the wants are specified.
In conclusion he said: "Take hold
of the proposition of raising more mon
ey for the Improvement of this road
