Judge Smith said. provided for 10
days notice.
Attorney George B. Gillespie,
council for the city of Chicago, said
the effect of the courts ruling
would be to send the fare on the
surface lines back to what it was
before the commission granted the
increase.
A companion case, in which the
city is fighting an increase to s
cents, granted the elevated lines, is
pending, but arguments have not
yet been heard and its disposition
will be indefinitely postponed.

Refusal of the commission to
grant the city OF Chicago time to
introduce evidence relative to the
valuation of the surface line hold
ings and expenditures, was given
by the court as the reason for the
seversal.
The main point at issue, Judge
Smith held. was whether a rate in
crease was warranted in view of
the income of the company and its
expenditures and not because of
the fact that an increase in wages
was granted the surface line en-
ployes.
Only Two Days Notice.
Only two days notice was given

ion that the coming few months will
see an unprecedented outpouring OF
aliens from the upper peninsula coun-
ties. He believes that as many as

make them independent in their native
countries for the remainder OF their
days. lie instances one application at
the Office in which the applicant show

who enjoyed the fat OF the highest
wages while the men in khaki were
prepared to give their all for their
country, should now be replaced by
returning soldiers who desire to enter
the employment through which they
have profted so greatly. There is
! surely only an elementary justice In
this, and as long as there are aliens
who did not offer to fight in Jobs which
the returning soldiers want II should

fault to find with this solution of thu

MEETINGS PROVE INTERESTING.
Different Phases OF Agriculture Dis
cnssed and Program Outlined.

II the meetings held last week at
Crystal Falls and Iron River are in
dicatiye of the spirit of the farmers
In Iron county we can count on sure
agricultural progress although it may
not come IN leaps and bounds. The
purpose OF the meetings was to get
discussion as to what the leading
line OF agriculture should be in Iron
county, and the ways In which farm
ing can be made more profitable here
Practically every farmer present
took an active part in this discussion
II was agreed upon that livestock
farming, in general, is the foundation
OF our agriculture in this section. In
connection with this point II was
brought out that we should work for
better stock, as it costs practically
no mCre to keep a good producer than
scrub. The elimination OF a scrub
sire is necessary for this, the farmers
| declared.
In the discussion of feeds. ii was
| found that barley has proved very
valuable with farmers here, and the
opinion was that much more of this
grain should be grown We should
| try to raise as much OF our livestock
feed as possible. In the matter of
getting the beat varieties OF different
grains, etc. the practice OF having
standard demonstrations throughout
the county to show the relative mer-
It's OF the different varieties was
heartily approved.
Especial interest was taken in re-
gard to standard potato demonstra
tions which will be run IN the county
next summer over forty farmers
have ordered small quantities OF a
desirable strain of Green Mountain
stock. They will grow this variety
alongside OF their regular ones SO
that fair comparison as to growth
rlpening, yield, etc, may be obtained
The following is the list of points
endorsed by the sixty farmers present
as important enough to be part oi

) They are worth considering by every
farmer in Iron county.
