A suit of more than usual interest
to Aroostook people has recently
been brought against the r. 7. Prem
tiss Co., corporation dealing in fer
tilizers and potatoes, with agents in
various parts of the county. The
nominal plaintiff is Guy Hammond of
Easton, formerly of Houlton, but it is
stated on good authority that many
farmers living in different towns have
combined to bring suits against the
company to recover damages for
breach of contract of sale. 1t is
claimed by the farmers that the Prem
tiss Co., sold them fertilizer warrant
ing it to be high grade and first class (;
that it was, in fact, inferior in quality
deficient in plant foods and that as a
result they got no crop and lost the
use of the land, labor and seed. Hon.
R. w. Shaw, attorney for the farmers,
when seen about it admitted that such
suit had been brought and that
other suits were to be brought but
declined to discuss the matter.

KING EDWARD WARS
ON TIPPING PRACTICE
Many NobIemen Induced to Quit Civ
Ing Servants Unearned Gifts

LONDON, Jan. His majesty the
king by no means approves of tipping,
says a writer in the World and His
Wife, and does his very best to suppress
the practice.
In fact, he has induced several Of his
subjects to take steps in this direction.
For instance, Lord Carysfort, who owns
some of the best shooting in Ireland,
has had a box put up in the hall at
Glenart castle. In this the guests are
requested to drop their tips, and the key
is kept by the owner of the mansion.
And this plan is pursued in several
other big houses, notably at Croxteth,
the home of Lord and Lady Seton, and
at Wynyard the residence of Lord and
Lady Londonderry. Indeed, at these last
mentioned houses notice appears in
each bedroom that no tips are to be
given to the servants. This is, of course,
a heroic remedy, and means higher
wages to the entire household. 1t is
worthy of note that not only King Id
ward, but other members of the royal
family have shown their dislike to reck-
less present giving.
