JUDGE WOODS RENDERS OPIN-
ions AT SPECIAL TERM ON
TUESDAY.

An order was entered at special
term of the Jefferson Circuit Court
on Tuesday. allowing an appeal to
that Court from the action Of the
County Board of Review and Equali-
cation in placing a valuation OF
$3.50, 900 for taxation purposes on
the roasting plant of the Standard
Lime and Stone Company. The case
will be reviewed in the Circuit Court
on September &c.
Opinions and orders were entered
in a number of cases that had been
pending for some time.
In the attachment proceedings
wherein E. E. Allen, of Rippon
sought to collect claim from Theo-
dore Neikirk, the ownership of GER
tain saw mill equipment, lumber and
cross ties being involved, the court
held that most of the property levied
on under the attachment was not the
property of the defendant Neikirk,
but is owned by one r. ]. Funk
houser. A small pile of lumber and
portable shack were the only prop
critics belonging to Neikirk, accord
ing to the courts finding.
Permission was given James Nj.
Mason, Jr., to open certain streets
and alleys surveyed through por-
ton of Ransom north of the Belt
line. The land through which the
streets and alleys had been surveyed
had been enclosed for pasturage
purposes.
A written opinion was handed
down in the case of w. W. Kelly VS..
A. Snyder, appealed from magis-
trates court and tried at the May
term of the Circuit Court.
The plaintiff sought in this action
to recover from the defendant Sny-
der a house and lot at Shenandoah
junction and damages for withhold
ing the same from him. On the 9Th
day of September, 1919, the defen-
dant entered into possession of the
house under a tenancy which the
plaintiff says was from month to
month, and which the defendant says
was for year.
Both the plaintiff and his wife tes-
titled that they leased the premises to
the defendant by the month for q
iuOHtIiy lCutdl u llluC uOlldISt WIllS
the defendant and his wife both tes-
titled that the lease was made for a
year at the rental of nine dollars q
month.
A large part of the testimony was
conflicting. The court held that the
plaintiff had supported his conten-
ton by a fair preponderance of the
evidence and is entitled to a judg-
ment for the possession of the prop.
erty and damages for its detention
The defendant owes the rent tender
ed from February s, 1921, to April
8, 1921, at 5000 per month
amounting to $500 and from April
8, 1921 to this date, amounting to
$3.50 or $500 month. the evi.
dence showing that was fair rental
value of the property at the time
making a total of $3.50.

THE VANISHING MILLIONS.

Just now It seems as II nearly
everybody who made big money
cleanup out Of the war has lost or
II losing 1t. The way In which war
fortunes are slipping away Is strange
~ similar to the April wallet, with q
string attached. jerked away by a mis-
chievous boy Just as we reach down
10 pick 1t up. A leather company's an
nual statement shows that its 1920
deficit wiped out profits accumulated
In the last seven years. So with many
other corporations. Paper profits van
ished as the country returned to hard
pan. 1t L. the same with individ-
uals, says the Grand Rapids Press.
Any day It Is possible to point out an
individual on the streets as "one OF
the busted" He made a big stake
during the war and just after. but It's
all gone now. What has become OF
these near profits, or rather who Will
be the eventual holder when defiation
and readjustment have run their
course7 Wise business men say that
the government. through taxes, gradu-
ally will get back the floating war
profits. But the government must
spend this money to retire Its war
debts. Barring the great fortunes that
were salted securely, most Of the war
profits In the long run will filter back
to the public from which they came.
1t may take some time for the last OF
them, but the old adage, "shirt-sleeves
to shirt-sleeves in three generations"
still holds good.

TAXES WILL BE LOWER.

Taxes in every one of the five dis
tricts of the county will be lower this
year than last. The County Court
cut~the road levy in Shepherdstown
Middleway and Charles Town Dis
tricts under the published estimates
when the commissioners were in ses-
sion on Tuesday to take action on the
published estimates They reduced
the Shepherdstown District road levy
from 25 cents to 20 cents; Middle
way from rs to 20, and Charles
Town from 20 to 16 2-3 cents on the
hundred dollars.
Shepherds town District makes the
best showing in tax reduction over
the rate of last year. The rate over
there this year will be $1.451a as
against $1.82 last year. Harpers
Ferry will have rate of Sill "
this year against $1.94 in 1920.
Only a slight reduction has been
made for Charles Town District
where the rate this year will be
$1.401a. Last year it was $1.46.
A more substantial reduction was
effected in Kabletown District, the
rate there being cut from $1.49 in
1920 to s1.31h in 1921. Middle
way Districts rate this year will be
$1.35 ". Last year it was $1.40.
The Court allowed generations
to w. L. Erwin, Harpers Ferry, on
personal property to the value of
$4,000; to George Robinson, Middle
way on 500; ]. L. Currens, Charles
Town, $1,000 on personal property;

Ransom $3.50.

Cities have a work to do, but when
that work Ii done cities will cease.
Cities are schoolrooms through which
most Of the population Of the country
has been passed and the pupils get
out Of them again as quickly as they
can. says the Dearborn Independent.
The movement Of the country to the
city and the city to the country IL a
movement that will some day empty
the cities and transform the country.
In the cities men learned how to live.
and now that they are carrying that
learning into the country, the func-
ton of the city as place Of resi-
dence seems to be about done. As
central assembling plants and dis
tributing points some Of the cities
might continue to exist; but not as
living place for hundreds Of thou
sands Of people. The city had a part
to play In the civilization of mankind.
but that part has been played.

TIPSY cow STAGGERS HOME.
Sobers Up Over Night And Goes
Back For Another Jag Next Day.

Moonshine stills are reported to be
so numerous in certain billy sections
of the lower Shenandoah valley that
some farmers feel the necessity of
policing their pasture fields and
other grazing lands. Only a few
evenings ago another case of a cow
coming home "full as a goat" was
reported by Sam Lilly, of near Win
chester. He. found his "sookie" near
the barnyard gate, unable to move,
and, thinking the cow. had been
paralyzed, sent hired man post
haste for veterinarian who was un-
able to diagnose the malady. The
next morning, however, the COW was
apparently well and she was turned
into the pasture again. Once out
the yard gate, she made a straight
line to clump of bushes in the far
thest corner of the field. Lilly, his
curiosity aroused, followed, and as
he reached the bushes he found his
cow tapping up the dregs of tub of
"old hem, the local name of moon
shine liquor.
