COURT KNOCKS
OUT PACKER PLAN

Washington, March 2,-The substi-
tute proposal OF Swift and Company
and Armour and Company, for the
sale Of their stockyard interests was
lisapproved today by Justice Stafford
in the district sIpreme court.
The court allowed 80 days for the
taking Of testimony as to the value
of the c3mpany's holdings after they
will be given an opportunity to offer
their stock for sale at the price then
fixed or the court will appoint trus-
tees to take over the stock as rec
commended by the department Of JUS
tice.
The court held that the plans pro-
posed by the two companies seem to
make easy a long period of continued
ownership on the part OF the defen-
dants and in the meantime, provide
TOO feeble a control on the part of

Justice Stafford said the defend
ants were willing to sell if they could
get fair price but that the ques-

COLUMBUS SCHOOLS WILL
ADOPT NEW SCIiEDt LIE

Columbus, O., Feb. 27.--The eight
hour union day has invaded the pub
lie schools acre, ami Superintendent
c. G Conicott has launched move
ment for an eight-hour day for stud
ents
His plan. however, does not con
template that children shall actually
attend school eight hours each day,
but that the time devoted to recita-
tions. school study and study at home
shall amount TO "A full working day.
TO further the plan, pupils have
adopted ,aily study and class pro-
gram. one copy of which will 20 to
the teacher. another 10 the parents.
The idea is that both parents and
teachers. with une daily routine of the
children before them, should see that
they rsrform all the tasks assigned to
them.
The schedule. when completed, will
show the hour at watch the pupil re
cites each subject, the amount of
time 10 be devoted in studying GER
tain subjects in school and the time
10 be devoted to certain subjects at
home. The pupil also will be re-
ouired 10 enumerate extra classroom
activities and the time devoted TO each.
The schedule was adopted to ana
pupils in determining how much time
should be- given in preparing each
gubject: what subjects may be stud
led with better results at home, ana
what ones in school and whether
teachrs are assigning lessons that are
too long.

W. F. FREEMAN IS
NEXT TO FILE FOR
OFFICE IN COMING
CITY ELECTION

Mayor Freeman has filed with the
secretary OF the county election board
for reelection to his present job with
the city.
This makes the race to date a
"double-barreled" affair. Kirk Dyer is
the other candidate who has announc-
ed on the democratic ticket and the
chances are good that the republicans
will have candidate i'm the field be-
fore the books close Friday at mid.
night.
There are nine candidates for chief
or police, one of which is "A republican,
and it seems that this will be about
the grist in that race.
Seven candidates for the office of
commissioner have announced, two of
which are republicans, but there will
be others before the time limit eX.
plres, up to date those who have an
nounced for this branch Of city govern.
ment are, j. l.. Wilson, present iucum-
bent, from the Third ward; George w.
Lewis and Tom Carter from the First
ward; j. Il. Stephens, democrat and
r. h. Roland, republican from the
Fourth ward; and w. c. Doak, demo
crat and Charles Wortham, republican
from the Second ward.
For the board of education four can
didates have announced. Frank Gates
ana j. b. Moore from the Third ward
and Guy i. Cobb and Mrs. Kenneth
Hudson from the First ward.
on account Of the proposed amend
ment to the city charter that will be
submitted at the primary election, the
candidates are rather up in the air il
the amendment carries asking for q
managerial form of government there
will be many who will have made the
the race in the primary for nothing
and for that reason the public at large
is not taking such a personal interest
in the various candidates as they usual
ly do in a city primary.

MOUNTAIN GOAT WAS READY
And Eagle Knew Better Than to Force
the Issue With Such an
Adversary.

"The writer once witnessed fight
between golden eagle and a full
grown mountain goat. This fight took
place on high divide in the Bull
river country in British Columbia"
says Charles s. Smith in an article in
Boys Life, entitled "The Rocky Noun
tain Sheep at Home"

for the purposes of taking some photo
graphs as close up as could get, and
was working my way cautiously from
rock to rock, keeping concealed from
the goat who was feeding on little
fiat space on the top Of the mountain.
AS I peered around the projecting
point Of crag I saw the goat sudden
ly wheel and look toward small point
sticking up on top Of the ridge and
there, coming over the top Of the
point was very large golden eagle,
flying just above the surface of the
ground and coming directly at the
goat. The goat stood with head low
cred and when the eagle came within
about ten feet OF him, 1t suddenly
swOoped into the, air about fifteen or
twenty feet high. turned completely
over and dropped like a plummet at
the goat. wondered what the goat
would do, but evidently he had It all
figured out, for as the eagle descended
he reared on his hind feet, stood
straight up and slashed his head from
side to side, his horns describing a
circle in the air. their sharp points up
ward; the old eagle evidently knew
better than to try to drop on a thing
Of that sort or to try to seize 1t, so
he caught himself IN his swift descent
and volplaned over the side Of the
ridge; here over deep, dark canyon
he circled several times, the goat
standing watching until he disappeared
over the shoulder of the mountain"

emphatically, and this time she smiled

turned around to put the red box back

facing the blackboard, reaching up to
write something. The chalk had
dropped from her fingers, ard he re-
called the frightened look on her face
as 1t dropped. But his deft hand
caught it in midair, and her bird-like
voice had whispered a thank you.
Now he leaned across the counter
with glowing face. "Say," he said,
you're Mamie Lane, aren't yOu?"
She gave him startled look, but she
nodded. "Nancy Lane, nOw," she
said.
Remember me?"
"Yes."

She dimpled little and nodded
again.

"Yes."

The disease attacks only the stems and
roots Of the tomato plant, causing
small warts; 1t probably does not re-
duce the yield Of fruit.
The Importance of the discovery of
the susceptibility Of tomatoes to pota-
to wart lies in the fact that affected to-

are susceptible to the wart disease, but
1t Is feared that such may be the case.
Other plants belonging to the potato

BILE to wart, and some Of these have
been tested, but with inconclusive re-
suits. These tests will be repeated.

'JIl take two-two pairs" he said,

youth flung himself out Of the store
without waiting for his change. He
told himself afterward that he needed

That night he tried on the socks and
found they were too small. He was

"You also forgot your change" she
said, taking some money out OF a

"Thanks," said Tom, dropping 1t into

She took down another box, picked

wrapped them up.
"Thank YOU" said Tom dizzily, and
walked out Of the store. AT his labora-
