Court Held That Plaintiff Ia Combine

St. Louis. June 40 In the cir
cult court today Judge Ryan decided
IN favor OF a purchaser who contend
ed that he does not have 90 pay for
goods which he voluntarily bought
from a concern which he alleges Is q
member OF a so-ealled trust.
The Cahill-Swift Manufacturing
company had brought suit for s24O.-
SO against Joseph f. Walsh, a plum
Der. on the allegation that Walsh had
bought goods to the value OF the
judgment asked. and had refused TO
pay for them. Walsh acknowledged
that this was true. and stated he had
Installed the goods in Nat. His
counsel termed the company a
trust" and argued that the defend
ant did not have to pay for goods
bought from trust any more than
he would have to pay gambling
debt. Walsh's defense was based
solely on his antitrust argument and
the courts decision was In his favor.

Now that the state board of agri-
culture has been appointed by the
governor IL behooves Paducah's bust
ness men to "get busy" campaigning
to secure the next meeting of the
state farmers institute. This meet
ing brings representative agricultur-
lists from ali parts of the state for a
week and the leading government
and scientific experts on soil and
such matters as affect and interest
the farming community. Also the
state spends $4,000 on this meeting.
The institute must be held at Frank
fort every other year. so logically
the extremities of the state are enti-
tied to it alternately on off years. The
executive committee of the institute
by a majority vote favored Shelby
vile, admittedly because most of the
members live near Shelbyville. State
Commissioner Vreeland favors Padu-
cab and will exert every effort to in
fuence the board in favor of this city
providing. of course, that the citizens
show him they desire il and need it.
Local business men should get to-
gether and map out plan OF cam
paign and do II at once; for the board
will meet in few days and decide.
Then II will be too late. The whole OF
the Purchase should be enlisted in
this fight because the only objection
to Paducah Is its location in the west
end of the state. The way TO enlist
the section il for the business men
here to begin correspondence on the
subject, especially with the view to
awakening the press of west Kentuc-
ky to the necessity OF asserting our
demands. The Commercial club Off
GERS and committees and the county
farmers institute are doing their ut
most, but they must have the back
ing of the entire city TO exert the nee
essary influence. Merely urging the
expediency of bringing the institute
here will not suffice; the demand
must have compelling influence be-
hind 1t.

prettiest yard in the entire city, is

J. C. Rinkliff. president of the board
of public works, to make the deci-
sions.
The Sun is gratified with the in

offer. 1t has stimulated much inter
est in pretty yards. and one florist is
authority for the statement that he
has, with difficulty. kept on hand, a
stock of plants this season. attribut-

offer.
Nature has assisted this year. in
keeping the yards fresh and green
with a generous supply of showers,
followed by warm weather, and
there are more pretty yards in the
city now than has eSer before been
noticeable.
1t is time yet for you to get in the
contest, if you are not already.
