The German law of libel is a curiosi-
ty. An editor recently said in his pa
per that certain gentleman was an
unmannerly boor," in consequence of
which a libel action was brought
against the paper. The evidence given
seemed to show that the only fault
with the expression was that it was not
strong enough. The case was taken
from court to court in the usual way
until it reached the highest tribunal
The final decision was that the editor
would have been perfectly justified If
he had said that the plaintiff had act
ed like an unmannerly boor," but since
he had said that the plaintiff actually
twas an unmannerly boor' he had
committed libel. In Germany 1t is H.
belous to call man pig or an ass
hut IL you combine the two and call 4
man pig ass then there Is no libel, be-
cause such an animal does not exist.
The favorite combination among Ger
mans Is, we believe, pig dog-schweine-

Furthermore in the continental coun-
tries the cities are under the direct con-

they are not allowed TO 20 deeply into

fact that great cities everywhere ac-

BROOM CORN CENTER.
Small Illinois Town Handles Most of
the worlds Product.


Arcula, HIS. with population of
1900, proudly steps to the front with
championship claim. Situated in the
heart of the richest agricultural dis.
trict of the rich state of Illinois. 1t
leads the world In the broom corn In
duStry and has no close rival for sec
oni honors. Douglas county, with some
assistance from Coles on the south,
Moultric on the west and Edgar on the
east, produces and supplies the world
with cc-fOurths of the broom corn
used. OF all the brush raised in the
four counties mentioned e-fourths
of the product is handled through Ar
cola brokers and shipped to all points
of the world 10y the broom corn brokers
Of that city. The two banks of Arcola
pay out annually more than S1.000,000,
and the brokers of Arcola alone handle
thrce-fourths of all the broom corn
raised and shipped from the central IL
linois district. Arcola Is not a manu-
featuring town, and this industry,
which is carried on in strictly agri-
cultural center, is probably without a
parallel in the history of the country
when the same conditions are consid-
cred. Arcola not only supplies the
world with three-fourths of its broom
corn, but it is the recognized center of
the industry and practically quotes
the price of the commodity to the whole
world.
