PUBLISHING FIRM BANKRUPT.
Home and County Magazine in Court
Stock Owned by Women,

Cincinnati O., Aug. 19.-Suit was
filed in the superior court today by
the Farmers State Bank of Camden,
Ind, for the appointment of a receiver
for the Home and Country Publishing
Company, publishers OF the Home and
Country magazine, successor to the
magazine Men and Women, in Lincoln

1t is alleged that although the COM
panv is capitalized at s1.500,000 and
nearly all Of the capital stock has been
sold to women investors thruout the
United States a judgment for s459 for
the services of girl stenographers and
printers given in the municipal court
of this city in July remains unpaid be-
cause no leviable property possessed
by the company could be found in this
city. The petition asks that when a
receiver is appointed that he be au
thorized to collect unpaid balances on
the stock sold.
D. A. Fraser, manager of the Phoenix
| Club of this city, Is secretary of the
| company; F. x. Plat, of this city, Is
president, and S. H. Wyss, of Alton, H.,
is vice president.
The recent stock selling of the Home
and Country Publishing Company has
been almost entirely thru solicitation
by telegraph, and, according to the pc
tit.nn; has resulted in the sale 90 near
" the entire amount of 81, SOC, 900. Part
Of this sum, it is said, was subscribed
under partial payment scheme by
women Of wealth and social standing
IN almost every village and hamlet in
the United States. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 women are holders of
paid up stock certificates or stock In
stallment contracts.
Considerable surprise was caused by
the allegation In the petition that the
visible assets of the concern consisted
Of only few records tables. chairs,

concern occupied modest offices.
