Following is an excerpt from the Hand
book Of Virginia" published at Richmond by
the State Department Of Agriculture:
"The 'One-Farm Exhibit from the Bell
wood Farm installed in the Agricultural
Museum Of Virginia Products at Rich
mond is beautiful illustration of the
versatility and high state Of fertility of
which these soils (Bellwood) are capable"
Bellwood Farm Products at leading agricul-
tural exhibitions, including the Panama-Pa-
cifc International Exposition were awarded
first premiums for variety and excellence Of
products. The products of this farm have
spread Virginia's agricultural wealth far and
wide.
Bellwood Farm Is served by the S. A. L.
and A. c. L. The Richmond Petersburg Elec-
trio Line and a Landing on the James River,
where shipping between Norfolk and inter
mediate points are possible at low freight
rates. A modern concrete pike facing the
farm is now under construction. These trans
portation facilities are exceptional, bringing
large markets almost to the Bellwood farmers
door.

coholic effect A grocer was tried
for selling lemon extract which it
developed was being used as a bever-
age. The supreme court says in the
opinion handed down that "alcohol
is none the less alcohol because it is
disguised by foreign flavoring,, and
it's sale is none the less unlawful be-
cause it is in quantities less than is
required to produce drunkenness in
the buyer" The fact is the grocer
in excess of that required for the

druggist knows when he is selling
patent medicine greatly in excess OF
the medicinal needs of the buyer.

Utilities Board Defers Ac-
ton Until Now Members
Can Study Petition
QUESTION UP AGAIN
NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT

Decision on the petition Of the VII
mlngton and PHILADELPHIA Traction
company for an scent flre within the
city limits was deferred for one week
by the Board OF Public Utilities Com
mlssioners at their meeting last night
Inis move was taken, President
Philip J. Isaac explained. because the
two new members OF the board. James
a. LeFevre and John c. Foote. did not
feel sufficiently acquainted with the
matter to vote intelllgently on the
question.
Prior to the meeting the members
Of the board held a secret session
that lasted from to 93O O'Clock. at
which, Mr.. Isaac stated the increased
rate petition Of the traction company
was gone over with the new MEM
bers.
Mr. Brlnton stated that the board
wanted an expression from all mem
bers before the matter is finally de-
cided
TWO protests were maSe 10 the
board against the proposed fare in
crease, one by L. Gruwell, In a COM
munication, and one by B. r. Gulick,
90a Jackson street. who appeared per-
sonally before the meeting.
Mr.. Gruwell set forth that should
the Increase be granted the trolley
lines would become a public burden
instead OF a public utility. The extra
fare would be q burden 10 those who
have 10 ride and would result In no
additional revenue for the company,
as many who ride now would walk,
Mr.. Orwell argued.
Mr.. Gulick protested against the In
crease, declaring the people do not
get needed transportation or nlcieut
