Woman Wins Land Suit.

Jefferson City.-In the delivery OF
opinions by the state supreme court
en- banc was one by Judge c. B. Faris
affirming in part and reversing in
part the judgment of the lower court
IL the case of the Morgan County Coal
company versus Haldeman. This case
involved a deal in which the sale of
Sill acres of land in Morgan county
figured.
The land was sold by Mrs. Anna 3.
Haldeman of Versailles to the coal
company for $55 an acre.
The. purchasing company paid a
part of price and gave notes for the
remainder. After a lapse of several
years the company brought suit to an
null the contract under which the land
was bought, OF the ground that Mrs.
Ha1deman. had misrepresented the
mineral possibilities of the tract.
Judge Faris directed a judgment Of
s81,92O in favor of Mrs. Haldeman
and affirmed the validity Of the con-
tract. The purchasers waited too long
to institute their action to annul the
contract.

FIVE FUNDAMENTALS
OF THE CURRENCY BILL

the government, based upon notes
and bills representing commercial
transactions and backed by a gold
reserve. The new currency Is ex-
pected to contract and expand to
meet the varied demands Of trade.
Concentration Of the bank 10
serves of the country in regional
institutions capitalized by the
banks Of the country and con-
trolled by directors elected by the
banks.
Creation of a market for the ne
gotiabIe commercial paper which
forms the bulk of the assets Of the
banks, where, in time of stress,
those assets may be easily and
without loss transformed into cash.
Establishment of from eight to
twelve great regional banks
throughout the country, which will
issue currency, rediseount paper
and c%entraIize and mobilize the re-
serves of the local banks.

BRIDEGROOM Sues for charivari.

Worth.-Because he wanted 10
treat members of a charivari party on
candy instead of cigars those who had
gone to help Marvin NJ. Pigg celebrate
has wedding last week ducked the
bridegroom in a nearby pond. They
now are facing a lawsuit. o
Pigg treated the ~serenaders courte-
ously, offering them candy.
They would not accept it, telling
him to set az tie cigars This he
good-naturedly refused to do, and
when members of the crowd suggest
ed ducking him in the pond he
thought they were joking.
At their invitation he accompanied
them to the pond, not thinking they
would carry out their threat, He was
completely immersed in the almost
icy water.
In addition to injury the cold bath
may do his health, Pigg charges his
expensive wedding suit was ruined.

LUMBER MEN
WANT NEW TRIAL
ELEVEN AGAINST WHICH DECREE
is ABSOLUTE SEEK A
MODIFICATION.
JUDGES ALL OF ONE MIND
Some Of the Companies Think the
Fines Are Too Large and Cite
Standard Oil Case as Prece-
dent for New Hearing.

Jefferson City,-The next move of
The big lumber companies, IL Of
which were ousted absolutely and Is
conditionally, and n of which was
penalized by fine, will be to file a
motion for rehearing, which they must
do within 10 days.
The companies absolutely ousted
will file a motion for modification of
the custer judgment and reduction of
the fines imposed and, with this, sug-
gestions touching the charges of con
spiracy against them.
The companies conditionally ousted
will file a motion for a reduction of
the fines imposed. Both are likely to
make comparisons with the fines lev
fed against the Standard Oil company
and its subsidiary concerns, which
were regarded as the most fragrant
yiolators of the antitrust laws Of this
state yet proceeded against.

Der corporations vas 81 pages Of

longest opinions ever handed down by
the court.
Because of the length Of the opin

handed down before it was made clear
just which companies were ousted and
to which the option was given to re
main if they paid up and obeyed the
law. Early reports were incorrect il
this regard.

Button Industry IS prosperlna.


Jefferson City.-Pearl button fac
tories, located in La Grange. Canton.
Louisiana and Memphis, all flourish.
ing Missouri manufacturing centers.
during the fiscal year which the 1913
Missouri Red Book covers, manufac-
tured pearl buttons and other orna.
ments TO the value of S339,470. accord
ing to the bureau of labor statistics.
Of the seven factories which report
three are in Canton and two in La
Grange, Lewis county; n in Louisi-
ana, Pike county, and the seventh in
Memphis, Scotland county.
Millions of mussel shells are used
to produce the output of S339,470 Of
pearl buttons and ornaments. It Is
stated that the number of buttons
turned out was 1873, 4 1926, ranging in
size from those with a diameter of
two inches down to those with a diam
eter of a quarter of an inch. h.
One Missouri factory has shipped
its output as far east as Germany and
England, which fact speaks highly for
Missouri pearl buttons, as further
east there are many such factories.
In former years a goodly portion of
the shells used by the Missouri fac
tories anne from the bed of the Mis-
sissippi river north of the mouth of
the Missouri, but now the state must
depend upon the mussel diggers OF
the Wabash, Black, White, Cumber-
land, Tennessee, the Illinois and 9TH
er streams for their supply. Shells
are still obtained from the upper Mis-.
sissippi, but not in the quantities of
former years. For 1912 the crop, &C
cording to the federal authorities,
amounted to 10000 900 pounds Of
shells, worth 1895, 900.
The pearl button industry of Mis-
souri, will last as long as mussel shells
can be readily obtained. The federal
authorities are now wrestling with the
problem of artificial propagation, but
laws are needed to protect the mussel
clans. The factories in which the
blanks and the buttons are made are
all we'll built, generally Of brick, and
are full of intricate steel machinery
The workers are skillful and vel
paid, their occupation being far from
monotonous. owing to the active lives
they lead and the many interesting
stages each shell passes through be
fore it finally appears as a string o.
lustrous buttons of varying sizes
ready to be sorted and stitched on tx
cards for the market.
