Moss then instituted suit against tho
 McIlhenny Company i1 the Supreme Court of Louisiana, asking for S5n. 000.00. The case attracted consider able attention, due to the prominence | of McIlhenny and the spirited prose
 cution of Mrs. Moss.
 Justice Land read the decision Of
 the Louisiana Tribunal in this case It was unanimous and among other things he said:
 Our conclusions are that the de- fendant had no exclusive right to thr use of the word 'Tabasco' as a trade
 mark; that the term 'Tabasco' bo-
 came public property in 1887, or the expiration of the patent issued in 1870; that the registration ia 1906
 was procured by misrepresentation Of
 the facts of the case; that tie do fendant acted in bad faith with tho intent to drive the plaintiff and otheV Icompetitors from the market, and that the plaintiff had not infringed on the good will rights of the defend ant"

ASK SOUTH RENDERS TO
"BUY A BALE OF COTTON"

South Bend has been asked to help
the southern cotton raiser financially
and an organization to be known as a
'Buy-a- bale -of-cOtton-club' may be
formed in the city in the next few
days. Word was received Tuesday by
the Chamber of Commerce from an
organization in ST Louis requesting
that a local movement be formed here
promoting a plan 20 purchase the sur
plus cotton crop.
According to the letter from St.
Louis there will be a surplus of more
than three million bales Of cotton
and the south will meet with a loss
Of $500, 100000 unless the crop can be
disposed. A plan has been started to
sell a bale of cotton to individuals
throughout the north, the cotton TO
be held until it can be marketed in
Europe. Pres. Wilson purchased the
first bale. The crop will be stored in
southern warehouses for the north
ern purchaser until it can be sold TO
the milling houses abroad which are
now closed because of the war.

RAILWAY MAN DECLARES
FOR NEAR SIDE STOPS
+. II. Hardy Says That Proposed
Resolution Would Eliminate Much
Danger To Traffic.

In all probability the city council
will soon pass a resolution providing
that street cars stop on the near side
Of the street 10 pick up passengers
instead OF on the far side as is the
custom at present The railway COM
pany favors the plan. 1t is in vogue
in practically all larger cities in the
country and Is proving successful. K.
/. Hardy, transportation superintend-
ent OF the Chicago, South Bend &
Northern Indiana Railway Co, said
Tuesday morning that he thinks the
plan a good one and it will go far
toward making traffic less dangerous.
Stopping on the near side OF the
street will also eliminate much un-
necessary delay, according to Mr..
Hardy. In many places the cars are
obliged to make safety stops and then
are compelled to cross TO the far side
Of the street TO pick up passengers
This neceSsitateS two stops at one
street. Another reason for the near
side stopping is that strangers coming
into the city from other towns where
they are accustomed to having the
cars stop on the near side. are given
much trouble here. BY putting into
practice the new method IL is thought
that many accidents can be avoided as
all cars will stop before crossing the
principal thorOughfares and not after,
thus giving drivers of vehicles an OPP
pOrtunity 70 see the cars before at
tempting 10 cross the tracks.
