Drawn.

Clinton, Feb. 2.-Frank W. Leedham
wins the Rogers will case. After de-
liberating only few minutes the jury
In the interesting and holly contested
action returned a verdict finding for
the prepayment. Their sudden return
to the court room Indicated that the
jurors must have voted unanimously
on the first ballot.
By the finding of the jury Mr.. Iced
ham proves his CLAIM, as beneficiary
of the late John Rogers, who died in
the poor farm at Charlotte. leaving a
small home property in Lyons and
some money in local bank, the whole
estate having been valued at some
thing like $1,000 or $3.50.
After Mr.. Rogers death in Decem-
Der two wills were filed. One made
Mrs. Jennie Madden the Beneficiary

ecution transferred the property to

Basis of Contest.
The contestants attorneys endeav-
ored to prove that on Sept. %, 1913,
the date of the Leedham will. Rogers
was an inmate Of the county poor farm
that he had been taken there early
In the same month and consequently
could not have executed the will.
In submitting his instructions to the
jury Judge Barker reminded the jurors
that they We're the sole judges of the
credlbility of the witnesses. 1t was for
them to say whether or not Rogers
was in Lyons on Sept. %. 1919. and
whether he signed the will, and it was
properly Witnessed. These. he said,
We're the only questions for them to
determine. The wisdom or justice of
the bequest was not for them to de-
eide. If the jury decided that Rogers
was in Lyons on that day and signed
the will, they must find for Mr. Iced
ham no matter what they might think
of the wisdom or justice Of the docu-
ment.

BUSINESS IS IMPROVING
Certain Lines Of Trade Net Showing
Advance They Should, However, Ae.
cordins 20 Review Of Iowa National
eank-Deereased Purchasing Power.

Special to Times-Republican,
Des Moines, Feb. 2.-The February
letter on trade conditions from the
Iowa National Bank, complied as of
Jan. 20, insists that business is still
improving" but not as strong as it
should be, tho activities are increas-
Iing daily in numerous lines" An in
teresting clause relates to gold ship
, ments as follows:
Ihe gold movement for the month
of December was 100000 in our ia :
lVor. indicating that our floating debt
to Europe has been paid Of offset and
that the principal European countries
VIII either by shipping gold &c us from
this time forward or be borrowing
money from the people IF this coun-
try. One such direct loan or credit
has already been negotiated and Rus
STA is settling for goods purchased in
this country by giving her notes for
the amount. These notes must be paid
within few months, either with i'm
ports from Russia or with gold or
American securities"
Ihe most encouraging feature of the
letter relates to the cash value of farm
crops and farm products, and after
stating this it is said:
Taking into account the demon
strated purchasing power Of the far
mers of this country. the cash pay
ments of the belligerent nations for
things which We produce and consid-
erins in this connection the unusually
small stocks in manufacturers ware
houses and on retailers shelves. we
have an abundance of reason for be-
lievins that general business will in
crease materially during the current
year The manufacturers who first
take care of home merchandise demand
will be building business which they
can hold after the close of the war but
over-eXpansion of manufacturing ia
cities should be avoided in caring
for the demands of the nations now
at war or even of the. neutral nations.
When peace comes the nations of Eu-
rope will not be slow in raha bilitating
themselves and in attempting to re-
gain the commerce they have, at least
temporarily. lost.
Even now, we are importing at least
S2,O0o,00O worth of goods every day
which we can supply for ourselves and
1t is this business particularly which
we must get and be sure of holding
before the war ends and before we
again have to meet the competition of
nations which are older, better in
formed and more stable in their bust
ness procedure than is our own coun-
try We are rapidly developing new
independence and new understand
ing and it is generally recognized both
here and abroad that the stability of
American business institutions gen
orally and of American business meth
DDS has been enhanced by the Euro
pean conflict
