An Interesting CASE

About six years ago Martin
Paulson, a real estate broker at
Wyndmere, brought an action in
the district court of this county
against j. A. Reeds to recover the
sum of $4,000 which he claimed
was due him as a commission on
the sale of tract of land belong
ing to Reeds. In due time the case
was tried and Paulson recovered
verdict for $665.OO Judge Allen
presided at this trial. From this
judgment Reeds appealed to the
supreme court and that court re-
versed the judgment and sent the
case back to be tried again. In
course of time the case came on
to be tried second time. At this
trial Judge Pollock Of Fargo pre-
sided. The second trial resulted in
a verdict and judgment for Paul
son for the sum Of $4,000 and
interest. Reeds again appealed to
the supreme court and in an opin-
ion just handed down the supreme
court has again reversed the judg
ment and order the case to be
again tried
Tt is safe to say that before the
litigation is finally ended the ex-
penses will amount to more than
the sum actually involved.

What one man did when he discover.
ed his capital was shrinking is told in
the American Magazine:
"a friend let me into secret Of his
financial economy which strikes me as
valuable. He is Of middle age, with a
small family, and has an income of
$500 year. He has put by few
thousand dollars. His investments are
in gilt edged securities.
"At the end Of every six months he
figures out exactly the value Of his
property. Each share Of stock, each
bond Il reckoned at its present market
price, and the sale value of his house
is placed at the lowest figure. To the
current value Of his estate he adds his
life insurance. The result is the CAPT.
tai which would be available for the
support of his wife and children should
he suddenly die.
"At the last three reckonings ~
friend found that his capital was
shrinking. There had been declines in
certain stocks and bonds and a falling

THOMPSON YARvs SELL 20
SlL0S On ONE DAY

Thompson Yards, In, advertis-
ed their Special Introductory Of
fer for 1915 in this paper in con-
junction with other local papers
;; on January Goth. This ad was fol-
lowed on January 9th with a
smaller ad. In both ads the an
! nouncement was made that the
sale would begin on Tuesday morn
ing, February list at 8 o'clock.
The company had decided to put
up 200 silos i'm 1916 and the loo
al managers were Informed in adj
vance that the demand was so
great that it was advisable to tele..
graph their requirements in On
February ist. BY noon the COM
pany had received orders for over
$50 silos and before the following
morning all Of the 200 silos had
been taken by customers. Over
S8O,00O.OO worth of silos had
been sold in less than 12 hours.
fThe company has right to be
proud of its record which was new
er before equalled in the silo bust
ness.
1t is also interesting to note
that the local papers were used
exclusively to advertise the offer
and that only two ads were used.
There is certain evidence that the
local newspaper is read and that
the announcements that appear
in tut are carefully needed. Many
other important announcements
will appear in these columns dur
ing the coming season and we
predict that the local paper will
not be found wanting in any OF
them.
