Testimony Of President William Sproue and Chief
Counsel William F. Herrin of the Southern Pacific and
Of President Wheeler Of the San Francisco Chamber Of
Commerce, before the California Commission at the
time this sale under discussion to the effect
that the proposed transfer could be made without detr
ment 70 the public interest and with vast benefit to the
Southern Pacific and the territory served by II. Pres
dent Sproule who IL surely qualified to speak authorta
lively on this subject, especially emphatic in
serting that the change in ownership Of the Central
Pacific would not affect adversely either passenger or
freight traffic. would not give the Union Pacific
dominant position would active competition with
effect rates and service and would be high
H beneficial to the Southern Pacific in relieving It Of the
obligation Of furnishing tens Of millions Of dollars for
bettefments and Improvements Of the Central Pacific,
besides enormously heavy fixed charges, bonded in
debtedness ETC. Chief Counsel Herrin was no less en-
phatc In declaring his opinion that the proposed sale
would be TO the benefit the very large benefit Of the
Southern Pacific Company and the benefit Of the terri
tory we serve"
Yet today, when the Supreme Court by its decision
Of last May orders the thing to be done which the
Southern Pacific officials were desirous Of doing In
1918 those same officials. and Southern Pacific propa-
Sandsts and advocates generally arise in furious re-
ssance and claim that the proposed separation of the
two roads would be little less than national calamity
and would be attended by the most disastrous conss-
quences to the roads Themselves and the territory they
serve No new perils menaces have arisen In this
situation since 1918. psrils did not exist then-and
the Southern Pacific stouty maintained that they dA
not-they do not exist now.

Other Fears Equally Croundless :

The allegation or fear that an increase of passenger
and freight rates would be made necessary by dsmen
berment also received attention when the proposed sale
was under consideration In 1918 1t was refuted BY
President Sproule them and II has basis warrant
now Through PASSENGER and freight service would not
be disrupted affected In injurious way bv the
separation which the Supreme Court has now ordered
nor would rates be increased BY carrying its decision
into effect.
Opponents Of Acknowledgement have sought to throw
doleful light their picture by del!nca.ing the in
convenience and discomfort to passengers through be-
Ing compelled to change (perhaps in the middle Of
tween California. Ogden and Oregon delays at termin
as while waiting to be switched to other lines; dis
mantlng Of shops and altering Of freight and passe
ger runs 30 as to necesstate change Of residence By
employees: and the innumerable other adverse con-
dtons and readjustments which an active or playful
imagination conjure up To all such apnrehensions
the testimony OF President Sproue Of the Southern Pa
cfc in 1918 administers an effectual quietus He al
that time declared that the change of ownership Of the
Central Pacific would affect the passenger in any
way; that the Southern Pacific would not be brought
by any means IN the lions nav Of the Union Pacifc
that the separation then proposed would improve both
the service Of the Union Pacific and Central Pacific BY
creating connection which always improves services"
that IT would result In increase In rail facilities In
the State OF California that the business of all the roads
affected would be benefited the great new expenditures
necessary for the Central Pacific shifted to new should
ers the Southern Pacfcs treasury thereby enriched
OIL Of which reasons warranted him in affirming that
the Southern Pacific would gain BY the senaration
This brings the discussion back to the
original proposition: II separation was not
only feasible but desirable in 1913 when
Il was voluntarily proposed and negotiated
by the two roads most vitality concerned, Il
cannot consistently be opposed a. imprae-
ticable and disastrous in 1922 by one Of
those Same roads, especially when the SUI
preme Court Of tho United States has dc.
cided and ordered that it be done.

Court Decision Guarantees
Ample Protection

The fear 10 expressed today by Southern Pacific
epokesmen that compliance with the Supreme Courts
ACKNOWLEDGMENT decision would wreck and ruin various
parts Of that sysem in California by leaving them with
out connectons-in the air" to speak. This fear Is
pictoraly presented In Of the maps circulated in
connection with Southern Pacific recent publicity But
had just as much foundation in 1918 has in 1922
In fact It had more foundation then than now; for
whereas the negotiations for the sale Of the Central Pa
cfic to the Union Pacific at that time came to naught
because Of tho California Commissions insistence ON
certain joint requirements which both the Southern
Pacific and the Union Pacific were disncned to APP
prove the Supreme Court Of the United States in s
decision Of May &c. 1922 affords protection of the most
ample and explicit kind to the Southern Pacific after Il
shall have dvested itself Of the Central Pacific On
this point the language Of the decision leaves nothing to
be desired by Of defining the scope and cearness Of
the courts intention Says the court:

PARTITION OF FARM,
SCENE OF MURDER,
ASKED BY EATON MAN

EATON, Ohio, Feb. 23-The farm
on which Robert Marshall, of Camden,
a deputy state game warden, was shot
down from ambush and killed instant
ly about a month ago, will be paru-
toned by the courts if the prayer of
petition filed by Harry c. Gail is
granted by the courts.
Gail filed the partition action We'd
nesday in common pleas court, naming
Ernest Line and his wife. Mary d.
Line, defendants. Gail claims half
interest in the realty. He AYERS he
derived title by a certain conveyance
executed and delivered to him by Mary
D. Line on Feb. 8, 1922. Gail is said
to have sold the farm to the Lines
and to hold a mortgage against it.
Farm Near Camden
The farm contains ia acres and is
situated near Camden. Some days
ago Gail filed a petition in common
pleas court asking for receiver for
the farm, upon the ground that it was
being subjected to injury by unknown
persons since the murder of Marshall
had taken place on the farm. Records
of court do not show a receiver has
been appointed. Notices warning
people to keep off the farm have been
posted, it is said
Ernest Line is an alleged fugitive
from justice. His whereabouts have
been unknown since the murder Of
Marshall and he is under indictment
for robbery Lines name was linked
! with that of Eli Benton, alleged slayer
of Marshall. Benton was tenant or
/ the Line farm. He disappeared. after
the murder and no trace of him has
been found. There is a reward Of
$500 on his head, offered few days
after the killing.
Believed Two Together.
Immediately after the murder o
| Marshall, and for several days, belle
was strong that Line was on the farm
at the time of the Staying and that hi
and Benton escaped together
County Prosecutor Ralph Sever, &C
cording to a statement by him, nov
inclines to the belief that Line wa
not on the farm wh.n Marshall wa!
killed. The prosecutor says he ha!
gained reliable information that Ben
| ton and Line were not on good terms
and had not been for some time. Ben
ton at one time, before the killing o
Marshall, threatened Line with a gul

each year just a little different from
that of the previous one and in that
way furnished something new at all
times.
There are nine township high
schools in this county and the domes-
tic science work in these high schools
is taught by a special teacher under
the direction of the county supervisor.
In some of these schools the special
teacher teaches some other subject
and remains in the school the full
time.
In other places the teacher will d.
vide her time with two or three of the
schools. We are sorry that credit to-
wards graduation is given for only one
years work in the high school. Be
cause of the limited number of refer
ence books, it becomes almost neces-
sary to divide the work about equally
between the study and preparation of
foods and clothing
The girls, under the direction of
well trained teachers, are proving
themselves to be capable cooks. In
several places they are planning and
serving meals and managing school
cafeterias.
Demonstrate Activities.
In some instances it has been nee
essary to demonstrate to patrons the
necessity and value of home economics
, work. We think we have convinced
these doubling Thomases" and it is
certainly a great pleasure to go into
these particular schools and note the
interest taken by the pupils. At one
place we were told that the girls did
net want the work.
We obtained a very capable teacher
for the school and soon afterward We
found the girls working diligently al
the noon hour because they were sc
interested in the work The teacher
often reported that if anything unus
ual took place at schools the girls
would say they hoped it would not in
terefere with their domestic science
lesson.
Each year we plan to have an an
nual exhibit of the work done in the
various schools of all the townships
| This is held in the courthouse the first
week in April so that we may have
/ one full week for the exhibit and ther
iplenty of time to get things packed
/ and back to the girls before the schoo
closes the last of April and that ne
articles are misplaced.
Many Visitors.
Guests attending this exhibit como
from all parts of the county, including
! schools, patrons, business people an(
school people from nearby towns ans
counties. Oftentimes the entire schoo
will come in body, the trustees hav
ing arranged with the school truci

orlVer Tor the transportation OF the
classes to the county seat.
Here they get to see how their work
compares with that of other classes on
the same project and oftentimes coIG-
ments are made on the good points in
certain things, or how others might
have been improved with a few
changes.
Last year Trustee ]. o. Edgerton
assisted in making this trip to the
exhibit not only trip of interest in
home economics, but also an impor-
tant lesson in civics, in showing the
country pupils over the courthouse
explaining about the different rooms
Offices and duties of the Gals
Many had never been in the building
before
1t must be said that several of our
men teachers who at first thought il
almost an impossibility to teach do
nestle science, under the leadership
of a supervisor, soon found the work
so interesting that they themselves
wanted to do the work they were haN-
ing the girls do, especially when they
were considering the selection of furni
ture as supplied for the home. The
results obtained in the sewing classes
under the direction of men teachers
are very satisfactory.

1t is the plan of the supervisor t
visit every school about once eac]

| Assists Clubs
| In addition to the above work, tn
| county supervisor often meets wit
the various women's clubs of tn
county, assisting them in many way
with the different pIob!ems that the
have under consideration in their NEE

teaching is not confined to the fou

ITCHING ECZEMA
DRIED RIGHT UP
WITH SULPHUR

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying little Men
tho-Sulphur, says noted skin spec
ialist. Because of it's germ destroying
properties, this sulphur preparation
instantly brings ease from skin irri-
tation, soothes and heals the eczema
right up and leaves the skin clear
and smooth.
1t seldom fails to relieve the tor
ment and Disagreement. Sufferers
from skin trouble should get little
jar of Mentho-S Sulphur from any good
druggist and use it like a cold cream.
