What Becomes of the Revenue De-

in Railway Rates

Since the recent order of the Inter
state Commerce Commission. author
izing the railways OF the country to
advance freight rates and passenger
fares. came only few days after the
award of the Railway Labor Board,
giTing increased wages to certain
classes of railway labor. there has
been a tendency in some quarters to
confuse the two. A few days ago

railway employees receive an increase
in wages amounting TO S625, 100000

ways meet previous Increases in

fact is that the Act says nothing about

Hundreds of Tennessee far

accordingly recommended to
the Division Of Extension of the
University, which in turn, thru
its county agents, advised far
mers thruout the State. Today
it is the leading variety in Tenn
essee and its use is increasing
annually. An increase of one

bushels more per year for the

increase of nearly that many !

appealing to their courage and

There are many other passions

None of these nor all of them

have a Power behind his own

most successful of our native play
authors, who, in AT 9-45" achieved
his widest distinction as a dramatist

tial elements of theatrical purposes
blend with pronounced nicely. This
is demonstrated by the way he man
aged to incorporate in the unfolding
of a tale which while having mys-
terry as the background is infused with
the comedy incidents to relieve the
general excitement aimed at. 1t is
a mystery play that keeps specula-
ton on the skip, hop and jump, and
leaves the solution in allegiance until
the climax of a capital story is
reached and then the audience Won
ders why it failed to guess correct
ly.
