Five committee meetings are to be

Solon Who Introduced
Helpful Bills to Help
Koiner.
Many I
Mr.
!
.
Farmer* throughout the State re- •
Joiced Friday when they learned of the
appointment of State Senator John J. 1
Owen to the position of assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture.
Since he first entered the Legis
lature Senator Owen has worked un
falteringly and assiduously in the In
terest of the agricultural element of j
the State, and the farmers feel that
no better man could have been se- •
lected for the place.
Senator Owen will remain a mem
ber of the upper House of the Leg
islature until January. 1812. but he j
probably will not be seen In the leg- ,
islative halls again.
The appointment of Senator Owen •
to the position was in accordance with !
a bill passed by the last Legislature t
and endorsed by the Hoard of Agri
culture.
All Outside Work.
His duty will be to look after the
outside Interests of the Department of i
Agriculture. It is Improbable that he
will spend more than half his time In
Richmond. Since Commissioner Koi
ner started hts first farmer's institute j
train through the State their number |
has Increased steadily every year, and |
this outdoor campaign for better
farming and more of It, soil Improve
ment and Intensified farming has be
come a most important feature of the
department Because of the popular
ity of the trains and the great in
terest manifested in their operation.
Commissioner Koiner has felt it his
duty to go out With all of them. This
has taken a great deal of his time,
which he could 111 afford to spare from
his executive office. In addition to
these frequent important trips, Mr
Koiner has been called to various parts
of the State to give the farmers point
ers on avrtous crops and other sub
jects. and compelled to make a num
ber of trips to the Department of
Agriculture in Washington.
Appreciating the difficult.' experi
enced by Commissioner Koiner in
keeping up with his office work and
currying out his campaign to make
Virginia one of the foremost agri
cultural States in the Union, when
called upon to make so many trips
from Richmond, the Legislature au
thorized the appointment of an assist- i
ant. and the Hoard of Agriculture,
under whom Mr. Koiner works, heart-j
ily approved of this action. The new |
position Is not an office, and Henator
Owen consequently will not be called
upon to resign his seat in the Sen
ate.
Mr. Owen "ill take up practically
all the outside work ol the Depart
ment of Agriculture. He is a practi
cal farmer of wide experience and
popularity. Having been the patron
of a great number of agricultural bills. I
he is thoroughly familiar with the ,
projects already under way. and will j
be of Inestimable assistance to Mr. .
Koiner.
Pntroned Many Bills.
Senator Owen had been In the Leg
islature many years. He served five
terms in the House of Delegates, and
when Judge Mann resigned the State
senatorshlp to make the campaign for ,
Governor he was chosen to represent
the latter's district in the upper House
of the Assembly. Mr. Owen Introduc
ed the bill which created the Dairy
and Food Department, the measure
providing for le tter seeds, tuberculine
teats for cattle and several other im
portant bills. He was also the au- ;
thor of the condlmental stock and '
poultry bill, and the measure provid- ,
lug for inspection of fertlllxer
Senator Owen is a graduate of the
agricultural department of the V. R
1. He was chairman of the House
Committee on Mining and Agriculture
three sessions. )
Delegate Haul McKay, representing
Cumberland and Buckingham coun
ties In the House of Delegates, has
announced his candidacy for the son
atorship, which will be made vacant
by Senator Owen's resignation on Jan
uary 1, 1812. cine of the counties in

Fidelity and Casualty Co. of Xew
A ork Flashes Technicality
on AY. II. Taylor.
The story of a sick benefit that j
failed to benefit was revealed In the
«'tty Circuit Court Friday In the suit i
of \V. If. Tayloe against the Fidelity |
and Casualty Company, of New York !
for $700.
Mr. Tayloe says he took out an ac- j
ctdent and health policy with the
company in 1904. the arrangement
being that In case of Illness he was 1
to receive a weekly compensation un- ’
til his recovery.
At the time he signed a. statement
describing his health, in whtch he ;
said he had not been under the care :
of a bhyslclan for several years.
It was necessary to renew the pol
icy annually, and the company dupli
cated hi* original statement as to his
not having been 111 or under the care 1
of a physician at each renewal.
In 1907 Mr. Tayloe was under the
care of a physician. In 1908 he was
111 for more than six months. He
was treated by physicians of the com
pany. but the company refuses to pay
him the $700 whtch he thought due
him. on the grounds that In his re
newal It was stated that he had not
been under the care of a physlciah for
a certain period of years,’ and this
statement was untrue.
The question devolves Into a fine 1
legal technicality, the settlement of
which Is problematical, A verdict Is
expected late Friday afternoon.
