DECISION IN LAND CONTRACT.
iowa Falls Sentinel

iowa r ais SSHiIuci.l
a farmer in northwestern Iowa
bought a farm from a man in South
Dakota paying $1,000 to bind the bar
gain. When the time came to complete
the purchase and receive the deed the
Iowa farmer found that he could not
raise sufficient funds 70 carry out his
end of the contract SO he notified the
South Dakota farmer ard asked that
the $1,000 paid TO bind the bargain be
refunded 70 him. The Dakota man re-
fused TO pay back the $1,000. He said
that 1, was gwen him to bind cAe bar
gain and inasmuch as IL was not his
faul, that the deal did not go thru he
did not think he ought TO pay it back.
The Iowa man sued him and when the
case came up In court the judge de-
cided that the $1,000 should be paid
back. He said that the contract for
the sale of the land was practically a
deed and as such it required the sig
nature of the wife OF the man making
the sale and inasmuch as this was not
in evidence the contract was not bind
ing. The judge held that the owner
of the land still held title thereto and
in view of this fact ne had no claim
.non the intended purchaser.

AUTOMOBILES FOR EVERYONE.
IDe0 Moinea Capisal.l

In It's statement accompanying the
new draft OF street car franchise
submitted to the city council tho
chamber of commerce predicted that
in three years we will see on the
streets good automobiles costing $500.
II was used az an argument against
attempting to secure cheaper street
car fares than six for a quarter.
s1o.th OF Inc auto
mobile industry has been one OF the
industrial wonders of the twentieth
century. On July !. 1911, there were
$4,000 automobiles, motorcycles and
dealers registered in Iowa The regis
tration today shows $4,000 owned in
the state.
This growth in itself Is sufficient to
bring the cost OF the machine within
the limits of the man of moderate
means. But on top of that we have
an unusual export trade due to the war
in Europe. According to a report OF
the department of commerce just made
public, the sales to Europe in the year
ending June 80 have increased 100 per
cent over the year previous. Export
Of trucks has increased from 7s4 to
InSa.iv 1lnha The total exnorts fo,
the year amounted to SCI. 900. 900.
Time was when an American made
automobile was looked down upon In
Europe. One Of the results Of the war
will be to firmly establish European
demand for the medium priced cars
of this country. All Of which VIII
tend toward lower-priced automobiles
for the American trade.

 "Will you kindly answer the ques- tion asked?" struck in the irascible lawyer.

 "What have the little beggars been up to now," asked the father, looking up from his newspaper.
 "Why, they've made mess of my sewing room," explained the wife. Needles, reels of cotton, scissors everything has been hidden away in the most unexpected places. It is really exasperating."
 Her husband laid down his paper and smiled benignly.

A Louisville attorney and railroad man who has his "stopover" here went to theatre the other night. The railroad man saw a flashily dressed redfaced sportylooking individual sit ting in one of the boxes.
 "Who is that tough person sitting in the box" the railroad man asked pleasantly. "He looks like a drunken gurglar."

 The railroad man gasped a couple of times before he could get a grip on himself. Then a smile spread over his face as he remarked

P. f. Fallon, of South Ampoy, can
didate for the nomination upon the
Democratic ticket for the Board of
FreehoIders, needs no introduction to
the voters of Middlesex county. They
all know Patsy they know that he
is as square as die and that he is an
advocate of the "square deal" in bust
ness as well as in politics.
His friends have urged him to get
into the race this fall, and he has ac-
quiesced to their wishes, for he believes
that the present board has held the
reins Of government long enough to
make the county taxpayers wish for a
change. They have served for six
years, and since the county Democratic
leaders had promised some time ago to
support Mr.. Fallon in the race this year,
the South Amboy man is making an
active campaign to supplant one of the
present Office holders upon the ticket
this November.
Mr.. Fallon has been engaged in the
contracting business for % years and
he believes that he has some practical
ideas along this line that would benefit
the county should he be elected to the
board OF freehOlders. His knowledge
of street conditions and other construc-
tion work in which the county is often
engaged is just the kind that should be
instituted in the county's business
plans and this is why he is asking the
earnest support of the voters at the
primary.

Washington, Sept. 20:-Unless i'm
pending battles materially change
the status of Carranza and Villa, the
formers regime will be recognized
by the United States, as a provisional
government. Then CarranZa will re-
tire and a new president will be
elected with the moral support of the
American and many other govern
ments.
Former President Cara of the
convention, was due here today or to-
morrow to oppose Carranza's recog-
milton. General Angeles and Villista
secretary of the state Lombardi were
expected during the week. 1t was
understood Carranza also was send
ing a deputation. All will meet Oc-
tober 8, when the next Pan American
peace conference is settled.
Privately the authorities say that at
this time 1t looks as If the Carranza
government was entitled to recognition
by the United States and the other
American powers.
The conference In New York of the
American diplomats strengthens
this view, and it is known they are
agreed that some government must be
recognized soon Carranza seems to
be the only leader In a position to de-
mand recognition.
Recent advices to the state depart
ment indicate that the Carranzfstas
have been making great progress In a
he
On the other hand, 1t is claimed that
the Vilnstas are gradually losing
strength and that when the time
comes on Oct for the next pan-Amer-
lean conference to resume considera-
ton of the Mexican affair Carranza
will have gained such position Of su-
premacy as practically to force the
American powers to recognize him.
Some officials suggested today that a
radical change In the situation might
be affected within the next three weeks.
Fighting Near Mexico City.
A dispatch In which mention was
made of a battle between CarranZfstas
and Villistas eighteen miles from Mex
leo City was commented on. Officials
conversant with Mexican affairs sug-
gested that the presence of Villistas
in such close proximity to Mexico City
tended to support the contention that
Carranza has not gained the headway
that has been represented in his behalf.
Vnlistas here dwell with emphasis on
the fact that Carranza has not estab-
lished his headquarters In Mexico City
as he announced he would weeks ago,
Nevertheless agents here of the Con
stitutionalist government insist that
the first chief will soon be recognized
and this view is shared to some extent
in official circles.
That the Villistas are still active in
the field is indicated In q dispatch re
ceived from General Maytorena, dated
Mt Nogales, Sonora, reporting a Car
rama defeat 1t says that three officers
and ten troopers were left dead or pris-
oners and adds:
"a force Of our cavalry has already
blown up the bridge east Of Santa
Cruz, cutting off use of the enemy's
trains. Our casualties are one colonel,
two other officers and a few soldiers
