charges in said editorial were false
and defamatory.
Mr.. Barker charges that an edi
torial appearing on October 80
charged him with making brutal as
sault, meaning to convey the idea that
he brutally assaulted C. o. Broxon Oh
October 27 and that he was also re-
ferred to in that editorial as thug
and liar"
He charges upon information and
belief, that in "furtherance of said
conspiracy" the paper published an
editorial in which reference was made
to his alleged unfitness for office and
referred to him by associating his
name with Allen, "a confessed de-
faulting ex-state treasurer. now an in
mate of the state prison" and tina;
said editorial intended to create the
impression that the same or similar
reasons existed for the reputation of
the plaintiff by the Republican state
central committee that existed for re-
pudiating Allen, this editorial appear
ing on October 20.
Quotes Another Editorial.
He complains of the editorial of
October 30 in which appeared, among
other things: He" (meaning Warden
Snook) and Secretary of State George
k. Barker stood near the private en-
trance to the office of the secretary
of state in semi-darkness for several
minutes awaiting the favorable oppor-
tunity for Shook to jump upon his in
tended victim, and after he had made
his cowardly assault and had his vic
tim unconscious upon the floor and
had stood over his PROSTATE body de-
livering blow upon blow without dan
ger or harm to himself, Barker stood
at safe distance begging, Give him
some more, John. he hasn't had
enough"
There further appeared in said edi-
torial, il is charged, the following
words: Can the Republican commit
tee do less in case where one of its
candidates stands convicted of most
cowardly aiding in assisting in the
commission of a crime against the
laws. which has brought disgrace upon
the state? The people should demand
the reputation ~of Barker"
Barker Mentioned Again. Z
Charge is made upon information
and belief that the defendants, ''in
furtherance of said conspiracy" pub
lished October 81 an article purport-
ing to be a speech from the governor
containing, among other things. these
words:
Just think of a penal institution
being in charge of thug who uses
brass knuckles to assault the private
secretary of your governor in the state
capitol of this state said article con-
tanning the further words: The gov
ernor told how, months ago, he asked
for report of the penitentiary and
its affairs and that he was overruled
by the prison board, of which Bar
ker is a member. The big audience
sat motionless and almost breathless
while the governor spoke of the das-
tardly and cowardly assault made by
the secretary of state, Barkers and
Warden Shook upon the governors
private secretary
Further complaint is made OF an ar
ticle appearing in the evening paper
October 81; of an editorial November
:, and of cartoon appearing Octo-
er 81. Originals of all the editorials
and articles complained of are at
tached to the complaint. J. b. Ed
ridge brought the suit as attorney for

Appropriations are running low at

INTEREST, IN TIME PAYMENT PLAN FOR
 AUTOS INCREASES
New Corporation Formed for Pur- pose of Loaning Money to Those Who Would Buy
 Automobiles

More than the usual amount of interest is being manifested in the newly formed Guaranty Securities corporation of New York since it became rumored about that it's proposed time payment" plan for automobile dealers had attracted the at- tention of bankers and financial experts whose names are linked only with big operations
 The time payment plan Is not new to the automobile industry, as several manufacturers already have completed arrangements with their dealers whereby they can operate on a deferred payment basis But today these people are pre- dieting the announcement of a sensa- tional plan that will virtually revolu- tionize the marketing of motor cars.
 Therefore when the gossip first began to spread about financial circles that a new plan was under way that would af- feet the future methods of buying and selling automobiles, it created nothing more than the usual comment.
 They base their predictions on the fact that this new company is capitalized on the basis of handling $5O,000,000 worth of automobile paper this year. This. to- gether with the prominent men who are said to be associated with the company, has created the impression that the new selling plan is to become one of the big factors in the automobile business.
 One of the features of the guaranty se- curities plan Is that it embraces dealers handling various makes of cars. It is not limited to any one particular class. On the contrary it is said to be uniform fOI all and national in its scope.

Rec Engineer Says Present Prices Are Result of War and Will Adjust Them selves
POINTS OUT THAT THE COMPARATIV EPRICE IS LOWEST ON RECORD
Cost Per Mile Is Less Than One-Fifth of One Per Cent Per Passenger

q can't see the reason for all this ex- citement about the price of gasoline, says Horace T. Thomas, chief engineer of the Rec Motor Car company, nor can l understand why some folks who ought to know better, take the matter so se- riously. .e
 "Of course, if there were the slightest chance of 4o-cent' gasoline in the near future, or even chance that the pres ent prices would continue, it would be different. But anyone with even the most superficial knowledge of conditions knows that is impossible. "No one worries about the price of sluminum-though that is now twice its . normal price. Nor brass, nor lead. "The price of steel is high, but mo- body supposes for moment that those prices will obtain after the European war is over.

BETTER BUSINESS
 DEPARTMENT TO BE
 USED BY CHALMERS
All Dealers Will Have Advantagt of Expert Advice On Business
 Problems of Every
 Nature

With the announcement by c. A. Pfef- fer, vice president and assistant general manager of the Chalmers Motor Cal company, of the Chalmers better busiI ness department" a topic of vital inter- est to every automobile dealer in the country, has gained renewed prominence
 Until recent years, the motor car dealer whose business was run on systematid basis, was the rare exception. He solo cars easily for cash and turned over hi; capital many times during the course ol year. If he boasted 8 bookkeper at all that dignitary was probably salesman who put in his spare time on the books With the cutting down of profits ano the keen competition that has entered into the sale of automobiles, many deal CTS have found their expenses running away with their profits. To help the dealer remedy this condition Is the pur- pose of the new Chalmers plan.
 "The better business department of the Chalmers Motor company is an effort to incorporate the same business principles in the automobile industry that have brought successful results in other lines, i said MT. Pfeffer yesterday. Statistics show that a large percentage of fall
 ures among automobile dealers are due to poor business management caused by incomplete and insufficient records. One
 of the first aids sent out by tho new department is greatly improved sys- tenn of accounting, which will enable Chalmers dealers to locate leaks in their business and decrease expenses.
 "The, system as devised and sent to all Chalmers dealers is intended to meet the requirements of dealers handling up wards of 100 cars annually, and can be modified to meet the needs of the dealers in all sections of the country has been considered, and we feel confident that Chalmers dealers will rapidly adopt our
 suggestions"

Literally Swamped

Writers of all kinds. especially news paper reporters frequently make use of the expression "swamped by mair'; car- toonists, too, dearly love to picture per- sons buried chin deep in mail of all de- scriptions. But in reality such happen- ings are rarity.
 Yet an actual occurrence of that phe- nomenon has been taking place in Toledo for the past few weeks postal authorities of that city declaring that they are liter ally buried under the tremendous amount of mail being sent broadcast by the Will lys-Overland company
 Each day load after load-veritable mountains of mail-are sent to the Toledo postoffice on Overland trucks.
 On Friday. February 25. a new postal record was established when 96.426 pieces of mail were sent out of the Overland plant. Of these but 40000 were folders clr culars and catalogs. The remainder was composed of letters to all parts of the globe on Overland business.
