Gets $4,000 by Court Rulina.

In reversing the circuit and sustain
ing a verdict in common pleas court
for $14,39614 in favor of the New
York Coal Co., which has offices at
the state capital, the supreme court
established a precedent which will
result in the local company receiving
about $4,000 in pending suits to re-
cover amounts it claims by contract
when leased mine yields do not equal
the minimum output as per contract.
The New York company leased a
mine to the New Pittsburg Coal Co.
of Pittsburg, with provision that 10
cents royalty be paid to the lessee
and that 100000 tons year be mined
The output for the year did not reach
100000 tons and the local company
sued for the difference. A jury in
Judge Biggers court returned yer
dict in it's favor Three similar suits
are pending in which the New York
company is plaintiff.

penses of the state leader and the

An Ohio farmer is solving the prob
lem of what to do with a wornout
farm in this interesting manner: He
owns an old homestead of 60 acres,
which he is desirous of keeping in the
family. He does not live on the
place, however, for the reason that
farming on it has of late years been
a decidedly losing proposition. He
has, therefore, decided to plant the
entire tract in trees. Already $4,000
Norway spruce have been set out, S1a
feet apart each way, on an area of
about IL acres. The trees will be
cut, as they become large enough,
for Christmas trees. Chestnut seed
lings will be planted in the space left
by the removal of the spruce, and it
is expected that these will come into
bearing by the time the last spruce is
cut. In addition to the spruce, hardy
catalpa black locust, elm, box elder
and sycamore have been planted. 1t
is planned to put the entire 60 acres
in forest within five or six years.

formally engrossed and signed by 11S
Of the delegates to the convention.
One name is missing, that of Delegate
Nelson w. Evans of Scioto county. He
declined to affix his signature on the
ground that the taxation plank is
wrong, that the only proper method
of taxation is classification of property
and that he could not afford to sign
his name to a political and scientific
heresy.
Captain Evans brought to the con-
vention at the beginning complete
state constitution and gave each Of
the delegates copy. 1t left the en-
| tire taxation question in the hands of
the general assembly with full power
to handle the problem as it saw
proper. The delegates did not take
| kindly to the Evans plan and no Sec
ton of it was enacted into the pro-
posed organic laws.
Secretary Galbreath was supplied
with seven assistants who will COM
plete the work of the office. They are
to be retained as long as required.
They will handle all matters ordered
by the committee on submission and
the detail of publicity compaign agreed
upon.
The session on August 26 was ar.
ranged for the purpose of correcting
the work accomplished in case any
serious flaw is discovered before that

Investiqate Farmer Company.


The Farmers Grain & Seed Co. of
Henry county is unique business
enterprise recently investigated by
representative of the college of agri-
culture, Ohio State university. 1t is
stock company of over 200 farmers,
who own an elevator and buy and sell
grain, coal, tile, fence posts, carbide
and fertilizers. The company was or
ganized year ago with capital
stock Of $4,000, the stock to be sold
at $25 per share.
All stockholders must be farmers
and no man can hold more than eight
shares. After the stock had been sold
an elevator was erected at cost of
$4,000, leaving the company with an
indebtedness of $4,000.
The first grain was received by the
new elevator August Z, 1911. Decem-
ber L dividend of 8 per cent was
declared on the capital stock. 1t is
estimated that they will have han
died during the year about 100000
bushels of grain.
Some of the corn purchased by this
farmers company is sold in carload
lots to inland points, but the bulk of
the grain is sold ON the four terminal
markets, Toledo, Buffalo, Baltimore
and Pittsburg. The success of this
enterprise has led to the formation
of ten other similar organizations in
Henry county. They are not vet in
operation, but expect to be in the
near future.

Great Interest in the Coming Of Opera.

as much interest in theatrical circles
here as the coming OF the Sheehan
English Opera Company for a per-
Torrance of Balfe's favorite operq,
"The Bohemian GIRL with a cele-

This Is no doubt due to the fact that
perhaps never before in America has
this popular opera been given with as
many celebrated artists as comprise
the all-star cast of the Sheehan Eng

the famous tenor himself. the cast in
