SPENCER WINS CASE
AGAINST connolly
District Court Grinding Away With
Little Interest Since The
Above Case

The case OF o. o. Conley of At
lantic against r. C. Spencer of this
city was tried in the District Court
as we went to press last week and re-
suited in a victory for Mr.. Spencer,
the jury returning a verdict in his
favor Saturday evening, after having
deliberated less than an hour The
case grew out of the deal in which
Conley traded some Nebraska land
to Spencer for the old Cass County
Advocate plant and a difference of
$4,000 in cash, two years ago. Spen-
GER refused, to go through with the
deal and subsequently sold the print
ing plant to Claude Gates, who after
issuing one edition of the paper, sold
the plant to the Atlantic News Tele-
graph. Spencer claimed the land in
volved in the deal, and owned by
Conley, was not as represented, and
based his refusal to complete the deal
on that claim. Conley sued him for
specific performance of contract ask
ing for a judgment of $4,000, the diff
ference which was to have been paid
in cash.
At trial of this case little over
q year ago it was dismissed. to be

INFORMATION EASY TO GIVE
Daddy Happily in Possession Of
knowledge as to Where One Vac

The good man had just been In
formed by the only person who could
possibly possess the information that
he hadn't an ounce of sense, that he
had never had an ounce of sense. and
that there was not the remotest
chance that he ever would have an
ounce of sense.
Having been assured on these
points, the good man turned to his
paper, only to be interrupted by his
young son and heir:
Father" asked the boy, what is
a vacuum and where can l find one?"
MY boy" replied the good man. "if
we are to assume that your mother is
qualified to speak on the subject,

formation, it is situated just between
my collar and the glossy open space
where used to grow hair"

BIG INCREASE OF
FARM PRODUCTS
Province of Alberta Shows In
crease of Over 20 Millions.

Figures just compiled by the public
ment show that last year. notwith-
standing that quite third OF the prov
ince was affected by the drought to
very serious extent, the total value
of agricultural products actually pro-
duced in the province showed an in
crease of over twenty million dollars
over that of the previous year Al
though southern Alberta had bad
year agriculturally. the province as a
whole experienced a period OF great
prosperity, due principally to mixed
farming, which is becoming more gen.
eral with each succeeding year.
The value of mixed farming, in fact.
was never better illustrated than last
year as the value of the animals
slaughtered and sold alone equaled
the value of the spring wheat crop,
without taking into consideration the
value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul-
try, vegetables, and other by-products
of the farm.
Oats was the banner grain crop,
1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro-
ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or SO.15 to
the acre Sold at an average of SOC
per bushel, these yielded revenue OF
ST, 198,558. Comparatively little win
ter wheat was produced, the yield be-
ing little short of one million BUSH
els, but the spring wheat crop
amounted to 15.1O2,O83 bushels, the
yield per acre being 1926 At an aver
age of S1.35 per bushel, the value of
the spring wheat crop was therefore
$20,387,812 The total production of
barley was 7,847,6 $40 bushels. which. at
55c per bushel, yielded a revenue of
$4,316,2O2.
Other productions were as follows:
Flax, 207.115 bushels. $780, 72.0O; rye.
261, 843 bushels, $196,392.OO; speltz, AZ
707 bushels. $32,030.00; hay, 100000
tons, $2,5O000O; potatoes, four million
bushels, 100000; turnips three mil
lion bushels, $75O,OO0; carrots, 100000
bushels, $18O,O00 mangolds, 100000
bushels, $32O,OO0; animals slaughtered
and sold $2O,OOO,OO0; butter and
cheese, $1,50O,OO0; milk, 100000;
wool clip. 100000 pounds, 100000;
fish, $4,000; game and furs, $780,
900; horticultural products. $150,000:
poultry and products, $2,650,OOO
The total of the agricultural prod
ucts is given as $7S,516,S91, as COM
pared with s5S,098,OS4 in 1913.
The statistics also show that the
value of theAlive stock in the province
at the end of the year was $110,044,-
$50, this being an increase of $780,
845 over the previous year. There
were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine,

"TORPS" OF THE BRITISH NAVY

ssTorps" is the nickname Of the
torpedo lieutenant on battleship. Sir
Henry Jackson, new first sea lord of
the admiralty, is the '"Torps' of the
British navy, for he is unquestionably
its leading torpedo expert. His Sc
lection as successor to Lord Fisher is
recognized as most fitting, for Ger
many's naval tactics have forced Eng
land to admit the Importance of sub
marine warfare.
When Sir Henry entered the navy
in 1868 the world was still chiefly
thinking ABOUT tts crude spar" tor
pedoes which Gushing and other Amer
leans had used in the Civil war, with
the result that they were apt to blow
up the torpedoer as we'll as the tor

ship at Portmouth, as young lieu
tenant for, a course OF instruction.

VICTIM OF RACE HATRED

Sir Edgar Speyer, member of a
banking firm that has houses in Lon
don, Frankfort and New York, has
truly become victim of race hatred
generated by the war. Because he is
a native of Germany, his loyalty to
England, his adopted country, was
fercely attacked, and finally he re-
signed his post as privy councillor and
came to America He tried also to re-
sign his baronetcy, but found he would
have to remain a nobleman for life.
Sir Edgar has lived most of his
life in England and was made baro-
net because of his munificent philan-
thropies and his public spirit. Up to
the outbreak of the war he was one
of the most popular men in London,
and he remained popular until last
spring, when the undercurrent of Eng
lish resentment toward Germany and
Germans became vindictive. He was
attacked in the newspapers, and
despite a public assurance by Premier
AsQuith, long his friend, that he was
to place guard around his London
