A sTOCkHOLDER's REMEDY.
Must Appeal tn state Auditor in
BuiIdinS and Loan Litigation.

In deciding a question that arose i'm the
case Of the Huntington loan and Savings
Association against Mary Z Fulk the su-
preme Court held that "a Circuit Court has
no authority TO appoint a receiver for a
building and loan association at the suit
of "A stakeholder on the ground Of its in
solyency. without any action TO secure
such appointment having been taken by the
auditor Of state and the attorney general.
Especially is this true where the building
association has gone into voluntary Iiquida-
ton. The remedy Of a dissatisfied stock
holder is to petition the auditor of state
for an examination of the condition of the
association, Ming the bond required by
law, and then depend on that officer to
cause the appointment OF "A receiver If the
association is found to be insolvent.

for the defendant in the suit by Horace e.
Walker against Charles F. Wehkfng for

years ago. He fell from the third floor,
and charged that the contractor, his en-
plOycT. was negligent in sending him to a
dangerous place and then leaving loose
bricks scattered over the floor, which
caused his fall. The dpurt held that these
dangers were so apparent that the work.

Farm Notes.

Farms that have not been tile-drained
Will be two or three weeks behind in the
planting of crops. Cold soils cause the
seed TO rot in the ground, and are slow In
becoming sufficiently warm to produce
growth.

Sewer Must BE Repaired.

The Board Of Works will have TO order
repairs for the East ~Michigan-street sewer.
Several citizens living near the West drive
of Woodruff Place reported to the board
yesterday that about twenty-five feet OF
the sewer has caved in and that I5O feet OF
it is cracked. The cause OF the cave-in,
they said. was that the bricks were prob
ably full of moisture and that the earth
at the sides OF the sewer was not tamped
enough, thereby allowing the brick walls
TO bulge. The repairs will be made at once
by the contractor.

Alfalfa VS.. Red Clover.
Hoard's Dairyman.

f1OdTu > DdlTy mdn.
The Dairyman is coming to be a strong
believer in alfalfa. 1t believes that it is
a much surer crop han red clover, where
the farmer handles it with intelligence.
1t is a plant that has its W way Of
growing. A study of it's likes and dis
likes, and its habits of growth, must be
made. 1t will not do TO SOW it with rye
or wheat. early in the spring, as many
farmers have been accustomed TO do with
clover. 1t will not catch that way. 1t
must have a well-prepared, rich, deep
seed bed. 1t must have the best chance
possible TO establish a deep root growth
the first summer, or It will not survive the
following winter.
1t must not be pastured by horses or
cattle for 1t will not stand heavy treading.
In northern latitudes il must have a chance
to make at least a foot Of growth in the
fall, TO act as a retainer of the snow and a
cover to the root crowns.
Wherever water stands and ice forms
about the crown. the plant invariably kills.
There are lots OF points about it which
farmers should study, and which il will
pay big profit 10 study.
When its laws are obeyed it is more
hardy. and at least four times as lasting
as red clover.

Capitol Nationals suit.

The Capitol National Bank yesterday
fled suit against Macy w. Malott for $4,000.
alleged to be due on a note for $1,000. The
litigation grows out of MalO,t investing in
canned goods, particularly tomatoes, in
1s0l. when it appeared that there would
be a short crop. Malott gave as collateral
security warehouse receipts for the goods
he had in storage. The bank claims that
payments were made on the note. but that
there is yet $1,000 owing. MalOtt has a suit
pending against the bank for $4,000 dam
ages. alleging that the bank converted the
goods he had i'm storage to its own use.
