In the course of a camgaign

that her baby sister was the best bait
she had found. This is regarded by
Worlds Work as Joke, but it has
most serious side. The baby attracts

Wins Case For Adams seed 60.
The Adams Seed Co. was plaintiff
in a case in the Winnebago county
court at Forest City last week, be-

Of this city. The case involved the
liability Of a company for seed sold
which failed to grow, or rather
whether the buyer was compelled to
pay for poor seed or not. Seed houses
usually sell seed under "a disclaimer
which does not guarantee germina-
ton or growth, and such was the
case in this instance. 1t was a jury
trial, and the jury said that the buy
er would have to pay for the seed.
