EXPECTED UPOII JITIIL CASES Supreme Court Has Been Considering Litigation of Great Importance. , (National Ksws Association) WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. II. A abject of much discussion la WashIngtbn Juat now is the possible consequences, financial. Industrial and political, of the several important decisions that' are expected to be handed down at an early date by the Supreme Court of the United States. The decisions In which most interest is manifested are those in the cases of the cotton pool and the anthracite pool, both of which call for the interpretation of the important phases of the Sherman Anti-Trust act. A third case of Importance before the court has to do with the constitutionality o fibe Initiative and referendum. The three cases have been before the highest tribunal since early in the October term, and the three weeks' recess which expired today la believed to have given the court time to prepare the. lengthy decisions required. While the court has vouchsafed no Intimation on the subject it is generally supposed here that one or more of the decisions may be handed down by the court Monday with the others to follow on the succeeding Mondays. The Trust Cases Up. The greatest interest centers in the trust cases, as throwing further light on the court's elaborate Interpretations of the anti trust statute contained In the voluminous decisions on the Tobacco and Standard Oil cases. The suit against the anthracite pool was brought In the spring of 1897 and the Intervening live years have been spent In taking testimony before an examiner and In the hearings In the United States Circuit Court at Philadelphia, from which court the case came to the Supreme Court. The defendanta In the case Include the three Reading Companies, Lehigh Valley railroad and coal companies, Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad, Jersey Central Railroad, Erie Railroad, New York, Susquehanna and Western Railroad and numerous Independent coal companies. In the original suit the Government contended that all the defendants had long been parties to a general combination and conspiracy which stifled competition and obstructed trade and commerce among the States, in anthracite coal and that they monopolised the trade. The court was asked- to enjoin, the defendants. from continuing the contract by which Independent companies sold their coal to the carrying roads for 65 per cent of the price received for It by the railroads at the water,' and to declare null and void the acquisition of stock of coal companies by the large coal-carrying roads, "tfvi.; , ; . In the decision of the United States Circuit Court vbat tribunal adjudged the Reading Company and a number of railroads through the Temple Iron Company were In conspiracy and Issued the Injunction sought. The other charges, involving practically the whole trade In an enormous combination, were dismissed. Both the defendants and the government appealed from tils -'decision to the Supreme Court of. the United States. The cotton pool suit, the second of the anti-trust cases In which a decision Is expected soon., was brought by the government against James A. Patten, Eugene C. Scales, Frank B. Haynes and William P. Brown. The Circuit Court for the District of Southern New York sustained demurrers to the more Important counts and the United States sued out a writ of error. : Excess of Prices. The sustained demurrers had to do with the charge that the defendants possessed a controlling power, enabling them to charge excess prices, monopolise the trade and the charge that they did create a "cotton corner" on the New York Cotton Exchange resulting In restraint of Interstate trade. The case has acquired added Interest from the Democratic protests againat the Government's suit against a bulling combination while transit movements are left unmolested. The battle for the initiative and referendum, the foundation stone of the Oregon primary system, was fought out before the court last fall. The case hangs technically upon a claim by the State of Oregon to recover $10,000 in license fees from the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Company. The license tax law was enacted on a vote of the people on June 4. 1906. The defendant company in appealing to the Supreme Court from the State Supreme Court, argued that the Oregon provision violates the Federal Const!itnEUHATisri EASY TO CURE Leo H. Fine guarantees RHEUMA to banish rheumatism or money back. That's why he sells so much of It. People are coming for miles to get It, because they know it quickly stops the torturing pains, relieves at once the intense suffering nnd drives the poison from swollen Joints. It's a wonderful remedy. Is RHEUMA; a splendid doctor's best prescrl p 1 1 o n ; you dont have to take It a week and then wonder whether it is doing the work or not. Start to take It today RHEUMA wont waste any time; It will start to act on kidneys, liver, stomach and blood today, and tomorrow you'll know that the poisonous uric acid is quitting yon forever. Use RHEUMA for rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago, arthritis, neuralgia and kidney disease. It surely does the work bottle for only ft cents. Hall orders fined by RHEUftk Co. Jiffs Wk n. t.

But there was a return to the three-men idea when Harry .Askin took over the management of the La Salle in 1910. Three men wrote "Louisiana Lou," which will be played by . Mr. Askln's special company on tonight in the Gen nett. The authors of "Louisiana Lou" are Addison Burkhardt and Frederick Donaghey, who wrote the play and songs, and Ben M.

SHAVING IS NOT FATAL Barbers Nowadays Do Net Use Himt mers and Celd Chisels. In reply to a correspondent who says he yearns to have his flowing beard removed and yet lacks the Spartan firmness of the early martyrs to face the ordeal and makes a pathetic appeal for advice the alfalfa editor of the Emporia Gaxette unfeelingly remarks: "The alfhlfa editor can offer no advice or encouragement to such a trembling souL It seems probable that be has worn his whiskers for many years.

It Is no longer necessary to strap a patient down in the chair before shaving him; neither Is It necessary to administer anaesthetics to his whiskers.

4 9. J AT THE GENNETT A SHORT TALK TO BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. When February puts in appearance, it never seems long until spring arrives. It is at this time of year that the city man who has been cooped up all winter, feels more than ever the prison-like atmosphere of his existence, and those who have found it impossible to turn a deaf ear longer to the call of the soil, and have planned to seek their fortune in contact with mother earth,, begin to get restless. They are eager to take up this new life where they can feel the free lance spirit, and their enthusiasm in regard to the independence of the agricultural pursuits over-shadows many things that should be considered in connection with the new undertaking. We do not wish to discourage any one who has become convinced that there are excellent opportunities on the farm today for the man of intelligence; but we would like to have a little talk with them so that they will not give up in despair, as some have done, after one season's experience nothing would please us more than to see a great exodus from the city to the country this spring. Those of you who have lived on the farm before, and are now intending to go back to that life, should not expect to find conditions there as they were when you left, even though you have been away from the farm only a few years; because one part of the world does -not stand still while the other advances and the agricultural sections are not exceptions. The farm life today is not the farm life of yesterday, and the farmer of the present is not the farmer of the past. He may be the same man, but his point of view has changed. Therefore, this fact should be taken into consideration; and, in planning what you are going to do out there on the farm, be sure to look to the conditions of today instead of that time when you were on the- farm before. Remember that the agriculturist of the present Js more of an executive than he was when you knew him before, and that the man who now attains the highest prominence in the farm world is the one who applies as great business sagacity and just as great scientific principals to the business of farming as the city executive does to his business. No longer is the modern agriculturist contented with scrub stock and low crop yields, and be is putting forth greater efforts to improve the quality of the farm animals and to raise the average yield of crops per acre. He is taking greater pride in his farmstead, and it now presents a more clean cut, thrifty appearance. Not only have the methods of handling the farm changed, but the social side Of the life has changed as well. Do not expect, then, to find the same conditions existing there now along this line as they did when you left for the city. When you take up the country life once more, be prepared to adapt yourself to the new social life, and make up your mind to fit into it the same as you determined to fit into the city life when you came to the city. It is sometimes difficult to view a place and the conditions . there other than they were when we last saw them. Of course, when we stop to think of it, we do not like inertia and should not expect it in any place that Is at all desirable in which to live. Those 'who have never lived in the country and are now arranging to move to the farm in the spring will find what we have just said to the city man who has lived on the farm before, worth considering; because most of you; no doubt, have obtained much of your impression of farm life from the country-bred city man. In connection with the farm work let us say that it Is no harder than work in the city If we go about it in a reasonable way. In fact, the man who has been engaged In brain, work solely in the city, win find the muscular exertion connected with many of the farm operations much less tiresome than the brain work and when he lies down to rest at night his sleep is refreshing. It is, true of course, that when the man who has been accustomed to the sedentary life enters an occupation

TONIGHT. "THE CITY FARMERS" which requires much muscular activity, he finds that his powers of endurance are not as great as he had thought, and it does not take much manual labor to fatigue him. This fact should be kept in mind by those who are going to take up the farm work. j The writer speaks from experience in this matter, and more than once during our first year on the farm we thought that we could not endure work another day; but as time went on and we stuck to it, we could see that it was our own weakness and not so much the work that caused us to become fatigued. The city man taking up the farm work can quite easily overdo just the same as he can overwork the horses when beginning the spring work. In our eagerness to see what we can accomplish we are quite apt to try to do two day's work in one. Of course, this spirit will wear away in time, and we will learn for ourselves what is best, but these things are worth thinking about beforehand. Try to always hold a little strength in reserve. If the city man In taking up the farm work will go about it in the way that the horses are handled when they begin the spring work, he will accomplish more, and will also become more quickly accustomed to the new work. When the horses start working in the spring their muscles are flabby we farmers say that they are soft due to. their idleness during the winter months, and they' are not in a condition to stand very much work; but as the work sprogresses they become less soft, their muscles harden, and the chances of overwork ing them are lessened. It is well, then, to bear two things in mind: work the horses moderately when starting the spring work; also work yourself moderately. When a horse is overworked his efficiency is reduced, and this means a decrease in the farm's products, and when you overwork yourself you lessen your efficiency and the chances of making a success on the farm; because on the farm, one requires physical as well as mental ability. There are so many different phases of the farm work that it seldom becomes monotonous something new presents itself all the time. In connection with this we might say that by the time a certain set of muscles have become accustomed to the strain on them from one job. another job must be done to bring into use other muscles. Practically all of the mus cles in the body must be brought into use in doing the farm work; therefore, the occupation from a physical culture standpoint is almost ideal. Because of the activity connected with the farm life our powers of endurance and of disease resisting are greater than those of the city man. Make up your mind not to become too easily discouraged because the weather is either too dry or too hot, and do not expect all of your crops the first year to be like those illustrated in the seed catalogues. Experience, of course, is the best teacher, and after your first year's experience you will see many things in a different light from your present impressions At Fecatslns & Eteowhcre Ask for if Tfc Crlshd tzi Csssis HALTED ttlLK Tfc) FcsMtA far 3 Ajp.

o which you have, no doubt, gained mostly through reading. This does not mean that you should not read; be cause that is just what you should do. The theoretical must go hand in hand with the practical. You have, no doubt, decided on the branches of farming that you will pursue; and if you have not already done so, it will pay you to send to the United States Agricultural department for bulletins on these branches. Keep these bulletins where you can refer to them when you become puzzled as to what you should do under certain conditions. The information from this source will often times be of greater value than the information you might get from a neighbor. It is not advisable to try to do everything that others say you should do. If you attempted to do all that reform writers and otuers say should be done on the farm you would not have very large net profit for your effort at the end of the season. The best advice is to go slow feel your way, that is, unless you have plenty of money and wish to make a show merely for appearance sake. A very large majority of the failures in any business are due to the fact that those who engage in the business are like the man who tries to live a mil lionaire's life on a tramp's income. It is customary for the city man to try to make the farm look like a park the first year, and he spends more time at this than he does in his crops, consequently, he finds at the end of the year, that his bank account is con siderably reduced, and the proceeds from the crop does not come up to his expectations. Then it is that he gives up in despair and goes back to the city. We all like to have our farms present a refined appearance, but we must have crops too, and these should come first, no matter what our city friends will think of the beauty of the place when they come out to see us. When you start in to be an agricul turist, make up your mind to win out and then go at it with a determination to produce results, just the same as you went after the city job. Take care of yourself in doing it, and take care of everything else accordingly, and you'U be successful.

OHIO POLITICS IS

AT BOILIIIG POIIIT Visit of Roosevelt to Colum bus Wednesday Starts Many Rumors. (National News Association) COLUMUS, O., Feb. 19. "It will be the inauguration of his active cam- j paign for a third term." "He is going j to begin the fight against Taft in the j President's own state." "He will take up the control of the Ohio insurgency recently dropped by La Follette. As a result of the announcement of Col- j onel Roosevelt's invasion of Ohio next i Wednesday to address the Constitu tional convention, which has been in session here for the last five weeks, hundreds of the foregoing rumors, theories and "positive fact" statements by "men who are in a position to know" have caused theOhio politi cal pot to become heated to the boiling point. Ex-President Roosevelt's acceptance of the invitation to deliver an address before the convention, coming as it did, upon the heels of a conference of eight governors and delegates from twenty-eigth states, which was held in Chicago about a week ako and resulted in the appointment of a permanent committee to push the candidacy of Roosevelt for the Republican notmination for president, is looked upon as a significant sign that the Colonel is about to come out in the open and begin an active campaign against Taft for the 1912 nomination. Since the collapse of the LaFollette boom, Taft has been regaining some of the lost ground in his native state. This fact has caused grave fears in the Ohio insurgent camp, and this element is trusting in Roosevelt's visit as the inauguration of his campaign for the nomination. They also believe that should the Colonel announce his willingness to carry the party standard, the majority of the Republican leaders in the state would immediately desert the Taft band wagon. Whether the Colonel mentions anything about his own candidacy or not, It is expected that he will at least take this opportunity of making a definite statement regarding the assertion of William B. McKinley, who is managing the President's campaign for the nomination, that Roosevelt is in favor of a second term for Taft.
