Traer, March 5.-The roads in the

have been such that transportation
has been nearly suspended. Business
men are learning by experience that
improved highways are primarily es-
sential to uninterrupted trade, and u
their commercial. prosperity.

The suit involved is that in which
the Dexter Savings bank has sought
to be given preference on its $4,000
claim against the Glazier Stove Co.
The claim is based on a loan origin
ally secured by a Glazier note, put
this paper was later taken up and
replaced by five separate $4,000 notes
signed by the directors of the stove
company, all of whom were members
of the Glazier family When the
crash came they were worthless,
whereas the original Glazier note
would have stood a chance of settle
ment out Of the assets. The bank
sued TO have the debt declared that
of the stove company itself.
The decree directs the trustees of
the defunct concern to pay the Dex-
ter institution $4,000 out of funds
heretofore ordered set aside for use
when needed, upon the signing of the
banks waiver OF its claim.
