Struck BY Lightning
The residence of Samuel Walker,
located on Dyes fork of Meigs
creek about two miles north of here,
was struck by lightning and badly
damaged during the electrical storm
last Thursday night. Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Walker who reside with Mr..
Walker, were shocked to some eX-
tent. The plastering was nearly all
torn off the room in which they were
sleeping. The building was insured
in the Ohio Farmers.
The corn in this section is not all
planted. Some farmers are planting
the second time, the first planting
having rotted in the ground. 1t be-
gins to look like high priced corn
for next fall, since considerably less
acreage will be planted, and unless
we are favored with a late fall, there
will in all probability be some soft
corn that will not mature.

WINS RATE CASE
Substantial Cut Secured Ihrougn
Joint Rates On Federal Valley
RailpOad


.saint Rates On Federal Valley
Railroad
A complete victory for the ONO
IN Bureau has recently been Sc
cured before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. 1t means a sub
stantial cut in freight rates to pat
rons of the Federal Valley railroad
in Athens and Morgan counties, and
brings to a close a case lasting many
months.
History OF The Case
In Athens and Morgan counties IN
the southeastern part OF ONO the
Federal Valley railroad extends from
Palos to Lathrop. At Palos, which
is the northern terminal of the Fed
eral Valley railroad, it makes con-
nection with the K & M. branch of
the New York Central, formerly /.
G o. C. The total mileage of the
Federal Valley is approximately l6
miles and the road operates through
a very hilly section of the state.
The total population of the Sec
fion known as the Federal Valley is
approximately 10000. These indi-
viduals are engaged in farming, min
Ing, and other agricultural activ1-
lies. There are also several business
houses and organizations located
within the territory.
History OF Complaint
The complaint as prepared by G
s. Long, traffic manager of the Ohio
Farm Bureau Federation, alleged
that the rates being charged from
and to points on the Federal Valley
railroad were on combination
lasis. Under that arrangement
hipments moving to points on this
soad were rated to Palos, and from
here TO destination another local
rate was added The combination
Of these two rates was so high as to
be prohibitive. This fact was also
aubstantiated at the time of hearing
various business men from that
lcrritory, including some banking

Commerce, and various individuals, |
all of whom testified that the pros
perity and continued welfare OF that
section of the state depended almost +,
entirly on their success in obtaining
a reduction in these high rates.
Ordinarily, shipments moving over
more than one road in interstate or
intrastate traffic are rated on what is
known as "joint through rates" by
that is meant a through rate is pub
lished from point of origin to desti-
nation and the various roads over
which such shipments move make
proper division of the entire amount
of revenue so obtained. 1t will be
noted in this case that no through
rates existed, which was principally
the basis of argument.
Division OF Revenue Involved
The defendant road filed an inter
vening complaint stating in their pc
tition that the division of revenue
allowed them on through shipments
from and to points on other lines,
was not sufficient to pay the cost OF
operation of their road. This COM
plicated the case considerably and
for that reason the decision was not
rendered for period of more than
one wear after hearing was held.
The hearing was conducted jointly
before the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Ohio Public
Utilities Commission at Columbus.
O., under date of April 6, '23. Later
on both commissions, together
with H. S. Ballard, attorney for the
federation, held a joint conference
at Washington, D. c., and the final
decision in the case was rendered
May 20, 1924.
Digest OF The Decision
The commission has ordered the
carriers to make adjustment of the
division of revenue and the Federal
Valley is allowed larger percent
age than heretofore. In connection
with the Farm Bureau complaint
for reduced rates based upon the
''joint through rate" basis, the com
mission states that the rates from
and to points north of Palos shall be
not more than the rates to another
point in the same territory, which is
Albany O., a point farther south on
the New York Central railroad.
In connection with shipments
moving from and to points south or
Palos, O., it is ordered that the rates
ent rate applying to or from Albany.
This decision is based upon the fact
that rates to other points in the
same territory are considerably low
er than those to and from points on
the Federal Valley The commits
sion specifies only class rates when
making this decision. However,
they provide that the carriers will
grant reductions on the same com
parative basis, providing it is neces-
i sary to do so on such rates. The
\ Ohio Public Utilities commission has
taken no definite action, but it is as
sumed that an order will be issued
by that body, making the same pro-
| vision for reduction of intrastate
] rates as that applying on interstate
| rates. The typical example of how
this is effected by the decision rem
dered is quoted below:

Detroit to Palos, first class rate,
! 7712c; Palos to Amesville, 32c,

 THROUGH MILLING
Vital Minerals Removed in
 Process Of Refinement

New York, Dec. 26--MineraIs may be vital to the worlds food supply, according to report to tho 1 American Chemical society of re- searches now in progress in tho laboratories of the Kentucky agri- cultural experiment station at Lex ! ington.
 "The conclusion has been reached" said Dr. j. $. McHargue, in charge of the investigation, that copper, iron manganese and zinc perform more important functions in agriculture than is generally recog- ni2ed."
 Experiments, thus far have been made on Kentucky bluegrass red clover alfalfa, white and yellow corn. wheat, rice pollshings and polished rice showing that iron pre- dominates, with zinc second, man gancse third, and copper fourth.
 "Tho germ of wheat" says the report lis q rich source of an un- identified Nitamin factor. The as sociation of relatively large amounts of copper, manganese and zinc with this substance, rich in vitamins, is coincidence of striking interest.
 Ut was found that when rice is polished. nearly all the copper, iron, manganese and zinc are removed in the polishings. Consequently when pigeons were confined to Q diet of polished rice they soon developed rolynouritis, whereas pigeons fed on unpublished rice maintained a nor maj condition. Apparently the compounds of copper. iron, man. Ganese and zinc contained in the pericarr and germs of cereals are important factors in nutrition.
 Fertile soils, 1t is shown, contain small amounts of the clements, cop per. manganese and zinc. Plants grown in the soil absorb small amounts of these elements, which are stored in the leaves and In the poricarps and germs of the seeds.
 "Whcn the cereals, corn. wheat and rice are highly miled the re- sul'ing degcrmed corn meal, patent flour and polished rice are deprived Of the greater part of the com pounds of copper, iron. manganese and zinc, which appear to be fac tors in animal nutrition.
 Tn practical agriculture. depleted soils may require the addition of available compounds of copper, manganese and zinc in order to re- store and maintain productivity and 10 produce a food supply containing the vital factors in normal propor- tion."
 A research problem of fundamcn. tai importance in agriculture today, the report declared, is to ascertain which of the elements that occur in soils, plants and animals are neces- sary and what are their functions,
