TO FIGHT'THE!I.TR I
Retail Implement Dealers Organize
"a for Their Protection.
PROPOSE 10 BUILD 4 FACTORY.


Joplin. NO., Sept. T.-There was Q
meeting In Joplin Tuescay that may
have the effect Of changing the manu-
featuring implement business Of the
country. The stockholders OF an organ
ization Of the retail dealers Of the four
states Of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas anu
Oklahoma met with the object OF man
ufacturing their own goods. This is 9
fight on the trusts, which II is claimed
by the retail dealers have put the re-
taller In q position that Is unbearable,
The retail dealers OF this ofganiza+
ton represent sales to the amount OF
s15.COO,OOO annually and they
will capitalize for 100000, No re-
tail dealer viii be allowed 70 take more
than $1,000 q stock and It e tie plan
to take 1000 stockholders Into the or
sanl2stlon. They will begin the build
ing for factory In the near future. but
the city wherein It will be located has
not been selected. lNeosho. Mo-. Par4
sons, Kan. Columbus Kan, and Au1

the work under way they will begin to
manufacture other lines of goods. 1t is
explained by the stockholders Of the or
ganization that they will be able to put
goods down to the consumer as cheaply
as any house in the country, as they
will not be under the necessity Of pay
ing for goods that are sold them by
jobbers and wholesale houses that have
had to keep men on the road and other

Agents Rights in the Matter Of Com
fninaions Deferred.

AAAAAoASAN 2gNANeeNs'
Real estate agents have become 80
numerous in Dickinson county, and 90
many sales OF land have been made
recently, that the, question Of On
agents right to commission on sales
has become 0 matter Of common in
terest. In the case Of Hooper vs.
Parks. recently tried in the district
court, the courts instructions to the
jury announced the law applicable to
such causes. Some OF those instruc-
tions are as follows: t.
Where q real estate agent is en-
ployed by an owner Of real estate to
bring him purchaser for the own
er's land, and such real estate agent
brings the owner Of the land and o
purchaser together, and a sale is made
and completed upon terms agreeable
and satisfactory TO the owner Of the
land, the real estate agent would DO
entitled to the reasonable and ordi-
nary commission for the sale Of said
real estate" aA = s. \
z "Whef6 q real estate agent Is mere
ly authorized to find and introduce q
person, with whom his employer may
effect an exchange Of his property,
and he is not authorized to fix the
value Of the property. or agree on any
Of ito terms, then hie right to a COM
mission is not affected BY his also re-
ceiving commission, or acting % the
agent Of the other party also"
1.-THE fact that q real estate agent
is acting for one party who desires to
buy farm will not prevent his re-
covering commissions from another
who employs him to effect an exchange.
Of property, which the agent does by
bringing the parties together and let
ting them make THAR own bargain.
without practicing any deception or
fraud, or taking any advantage Of
his position as agent for both parties,
and in such case, it would make no
difference II the real estate agent, at,
the request Of the purchaser, made an
advance payment upon the land" \
1.-THE law does not pc. nit the agent
of one party to become the agent Of
another ~OonE the same subject mat
tor, Ia the making Of the terms Of q
contract, either with or without COM
pensation therefor"
1t would appear that an agent does
not have to work very hard to earn o
commission on real estate sale, pro-
vided he does not practice any fraud.
Under certain circumstances he may
even get two commissions, one from
the seller and one from the buyer.
