facturers and merchants who hope for
a continuance of a large export trade
when the European war is over that
they will be Obliged to contend with
severe competition on the part of Jap
anese producers, who are initiating
German products and selling them at
low prices in Russia, England and
other countries "The Japanese manu-

already been clever enough to get hold
of any quantity of German samples in
various lines and they are initiating
these exactly and Offering them to
England at prices in many instances
as low as, or even lower than former

investigations of the Chamberlain
British tariff commission made a few
years ago developed the fact that, on
an average the wage scale in Japan
and other oriental countries was one
sixth that of England. And the Eng

And, there are other reasons
why you should do so among
which are the the fact that you
can get quickly unloaded and
promptly sold. Never crowded
and always have good light. In
addition we do not employ anyone
that speculates in Tobacco. Our
officers and help cannot buy your
Tobacco low so that they may re-
sell it at a profit. We do not per-
NIT that in our Houses. All Of
our efforts are given to the sellers.
We are just trying to sell Tobacco
and sell it well. Simply that and
nothing more, and we mean to
keep our business clean.
We invite Growers and Sellers
TO call at our Houses and see how
carefully we SORT and handle all
Tobacco and ask them to make
any suggestions that they think
win improve our methods We
are always glad to get suggestions
from Growers and Sellers. We
want the Maysvilla market to be
clean and satisfactory. We offer
no special favors to anyone and
play no favorites. We take the

in substance, that the public square
aforesaid has been used by the county
of Rock Island for a court house and
Jail for a number of years. 1t would
also be just as improper to discuss at
this time the merits of appellants case
as presented in his brief. The words
public square written on the map, as
aforesaid, is a clear indication that the
square is dedicated as public square
and to be used by the public for some
public purpose. The purpose may be
indicated by proof of custom or long
usage, but those words do not indicate
any certain or definite use of the square
in the absence Of such proof, and GER
tainly not for the definite use of main
tanning thereon a county Jail (Village
of Princeville " Auten, II III. $3.50 The
bill. on its face, states a good cause of
action. and IL it was lacking in any
formal matters pointed out on demur-
rer appellant should have had the op-
portunity Of amending it. 1t certainly
was possible to amend il to state good
cause of action, and therefore 1t could
not be finally disposed Of on motion to
dismiss the bill.
Appellee insists that no proper ex
ceptions were saved by appellant to the
ruling of the court In considering the
affidavits on motion to dismiss the case
and in refusing his motion for rule
on appellee to plead, etc. In chancery
it has never been held necessary, I'M
der our practice, to allege or preserve
such exceptions. Under the holding of
this court in Miller V. Anderson, 269
Ill. sos, no exceptions need now be al
legged or preserved in the record to the
rulings of the court in law cases.
Appellants contention that under
his bill he is entitled to insist on the
provisions OF the statute entitled 'Jails
and Jailers, approved June "a, 1915,
and providing. but il shall be unlaw-
full to build a Jail within 200 feet of
any building used exclusively for
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-25

In such case the preliminary motion
is to be decided upon the weight of the
testimony without accepting the an
swer as absolutely true. (Wangelin V.
Goe, so III. 459). For the same reason
that affidaVits are not received on mo-
ton to dissolve an Injunction before
answering or pleading to the bill, We
hold that they should not be filed or
considered on a motion for a prelimi-
nary injunction in any case. 1t is the
Office of an answer to deny the allega-
tons of bill in equity or to set up
some affirmative matter as a defense,
and it is the office of a demurrer to
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-25

The high tribunal in reversing the
opinion OF Judge F. D. Ramsay and re-
handing the case with directions.
pointed out errors which the trial court
made in the hearing. Counsel for the
appellant believe that the decision NAV
be preliminary to permanent order
restraining the county from proceed
ing with the erection Of the jail on the
court house square.
Ruling of the supreme court in de-
tail follows:
ON June p, 1915. appellant filed his
bill in equity in the circuit court of
Rock Island county against the county
Of Rock Island, appellee, praying for
an injunction TO restrain the county
from erecting a Jail on the public
square in the city Of Rock Island. The
bill alleges that appellant is the owner
in fee Of lots I. and in block II,
in the town of Stephenson, (now city
of Rock Island, and that he holds
e,,ch lots in trust for tho Roman Gath
ole church; that on said lots is built
q church known as St. Joseph's Roman
Catholic church, and south of the
church on said lots, and fronting east,
is school building known as St. JOS
eph's Parochial school; that said
church and school buildings are. and
have been for many years. occupied
and used as a church and as a school
for said church. and have been erected
and maintained at great cost. and are
8dyantag eousIy located by reason OF
said lots fronting and abutting on the
public square in said city: AYERS that
the county commissioners Of the county
of Rock Island became owners in fee
of the lands on which the town of Ste
phensOn was surveyed and plated. and
that they surveyed and plated said
town, as such owners, July TO- 1885
and that on the plat Of said town as
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-04-25

school purposes can not be sustained
for want of allegations that said school
building was used exclusively for
school purposes, and that when built
the Jail on the site wherein it is to be
built will be within 200 feet of said
school house. Whether or not appel
liant might avail himself Of such de-
Tense is therefore not before us.
For the errors indicated the decree
of the circuit court is reversed and the
