Credit" This was led by J. F. Ward.
of Clinton. You can not trade wlth
the mail order houses and continue the
old order OF credit" said Mr.. Ward.
Every man here can meet the prices
of the mail order house-all terms con-
sidered. But not one can exist II he
sells on cash terms and then fails to
insist upon the terms. Let service and
quality sell your goods, but insist on
payment according to the terms
agreed upon"
In the course. Of this discussion It
was pointed out that it was unfair for
the lumber dealer to be carrying ac-
counts of farmers, without interest,
while they, for instance, are holding
their grain for higher prices. Several
Of the dealers backing Mr.. Ward, said
that they believed that the volume Of
accounts and the general line OF credit
could be reduced II the dealers them
selves would only pay closer attention
to this end of the business

Mason City, Feb. PA contest
which has long been expected is now
on, and it may be years before the end.
At least 100000 is directly and indi-
rectly involved. and scattered over the
central and northern part of Iowa are
financiers. between 100 and 200 of
them. interested in the outcome Of this
litigation which involves the tina ncing
! Of the Colby Motor Car Company and
Wholesale borrowing from the Walch
estate.
WaIeh Left Large Estate.
On Nov. T. 1908, Sebastian Walch
died. He left in personal property con-
sisting of corporation stocks. notes and
bonds, something like $4,000. His
principal holdings we're in real estate,
and some nave estimated the estate as
high as $500, 600. He left his property
largely to his wife, one daughter and
four sons. The last will and Testament,
was read Jan. %, 1909. when William
Walch. one of the sons, was appointed
special administrator and later was
appointed executor of the estate. He
filed bonds in the sum of $4,000. In
this city the Colby Motor Car Com
pany was organized. and it appears
from the records that Mari Walch and
William Walch were very heavy lean
ers to this new corporation. Loans
were being made, as is now claimed,
so promiscuously and so recklessly,
that John Watch was appointed by the
ND 10 Of
mother, Mari Walch, and his brother,
William Watch.
Amount Of Loans Unknown.
Attorneys for the Walcil family say
that they have no accurate way o.
knowing the number of notes or the
value of the notes which have been put
upon the market over northern Iowa.
They have reason to believe that the
figure is close to 100000. 1t is stated
that most of these notes were made
payable to the Colby Motor Company.
ost of them for $4,000. and the names
of Mari Walch and William Walch at
tached. When they were secured on
account Of the financial standing OF the
Walch family, they were quickly picked
by bankers, hearing as they Gid inter-
est at the rate of per cent. On the
back part of these notes there is the
Endorsement: "Coiby Motor Company.
H. S. Murphy. treasurer; William
Colby"
Validity Of Notes Question ned.
The question as to the validity OF
these notes is what is to be tried out.
r. c. Lubiens. banker Of St. Ansgar.
holds $4,000 Of these notes. and he has
commenced action in the courts of this
county for collection. This will be re-
sisted by the attorneys for the Walch
estate. The defendants win endeavor
to establish, according to the report,
that when the notes were issued neith-
er Mari Walch, the mother, nor Will
liam Walch, the son, was sound enough
in mind to do business. Most of the
money was secured, according to the
story, thru the persuasion Of William
Colby. and they were not able to re-
sist his opportunities.
