Spencer, Jan. 29.-The jury In the
case of the Klrchner estate. of Peter
son. VS.. the Peterson Power Company,
rendered it's decision Saturday in favor
of the Kitchner estate. allowing $4,000
damages to land caused by the raising
of the power company's dam forty five
inches above the ten-foot level. or the
level Of the old dam. or this amount
SI5,164.S2 was allowed Gus kirchner
for the damage done eighty-seven acres
of his 239-acre farm; $4,965.64 was al
lowed Mrs. Lettie Kirchner as dam
ages for thirty acres Of her 309-acre
farm.
This case has been up twice before
but satisfactory settlement has never
been reached and therefore, 1t attracted
considerable attention at this term of
court. The sheriff of Clay county has
at two different times selected ten dis
interested parties in the county to APP
praise the damage done the land-bas-
ing their decision on the testimony of
the engineers hired by the power COM
pany to get accurate data on the mat
ter, and testimony entered pro and con
iii regard to the nature Il the land be-
fore the dam was raised, but. both
times the value at which. it was APP
praised by these men was unsatisfac-
tory to the Kirchner estate. The ten
men were also taken overland in order
to ascertain for themselves the value
of the land. s@Rhs -" ~
The testimony entered for the plain
tiff placed the value of'the land at all
the way from $780, to $1S5 for the en-
tire tracts, while the testimony of the
defendant placed the value of the land
at $S5 to S125.
Jury Determines Damages.
! After the arguments were completed
Judge Lee instructed the jury to not
give individual estimates on the land
and divide the amount by twelve but
for the entire jury to get together and
consider all the testimony entered very
carefully and to be in no hurry about
making decision.
The probabilities are that the power
company will appeal the case as the
decision does not meet with their APP
prevail No certain amount of dam
ages was asked by the plaintiff. but
this was left for the jury to decide.

GERMANS EXTRACTING

BERLIN. May 10 (via London).-If,
against all German expectations. the
war should continue next year, there
will no longer be that dearth OF oil
which causes the despair Of house
wives and restaurant keepers at pres

solved so many knotty problems
within the last three years, has at
last discovered that oil can be ex-
tracted in large quantities from grain.
BY a process called Determination,
a small germ resembling very much a
hens egg in its composition, and fur
nishing food to the young plant, II
extracted This germ distilled yields
very good table oil and at the same
time a raw product for margarine and
an albuminous powder. which latter
contains three and one-half times the
nourishment OF meat. Twenty grams
OF 1t are as nourishlng as one egg. II

been largely used as q substitute for

In recognition OF the growing i'm
portance of Japan as a market for
American merchandise and in order
TO foster and promote more intimate
trade relations between the United
States and the Far East, Frank RuI.
ter, late assistant chief of the Blu :
reau OF Foreign and Domestic Com.
merce, was recently appointed com
mercial attache to Tokyo. The early
departure Of Mr. Rutter to the Far
East directs attention anew to Japan
as Q market for American merchan
disc and especially the need OF closer
and more intimate relations between
the two countries. Japan IL not
only one OF the FIRST powers OF the
globe, but in q commercial and in e
dustrial sense 10 "a wonder OF the
world" In respect TO record achieve
ment and general progress. This Is
mAnifestly true when II is considered
that fifty years ago the empire was
q comparatively obscure principally,
whereas today II IL a great empire
with an aggregate OF foreign trade
reckoned by hundreds upon hundreds
Of millions. Indeed, In this respect it,
record OF Advancement is not to be
approached by any other country in

Is strikingly attested by the extent

Bonds or Income Tax.

There is every reason why the
American public should invest In the
Government loan but IL any man Is
selling his securities in order to OBJ
tain the cash for buying the Liberty
bonds merely on the theory that IL Is
the best way he may help the Gov
eminent, he would do well to bear
in mind that he may help the Gov
eminent just as well, and in many
instances better, by holding his Sc
eurities and paying the tax on his
income. Government bonds are ex-
empt from taxation, Under the pro-
posed increase in the income tax a
man with an income of 500, 900
would be required to pay a tax OF
S14.22o. II this investment, say, Of
$4,000 900 Is now in stocks and bonds
yielding 5 per cent, his net income
after the deduction OF his income
tax OF S14.220 would be $50, $50.
whereas II the same amount were
placed in the Government bonds IL
would net him only $4,000, or a
net loss OF S1b,7S0. Even with his
state and municipal taxes the Gov
eminent would fare better from
this sort of investor than IL he should
liquidAte his securities so as to be-
come q subscriber to the war loan.
which would give the Government
capital. but upon which Il would be
compelled to pay interest.

Big Bookings Of steel.

The tremendous foreign as well a.

undated. and the pressure for deliv-
cries Is about a. great now as at any
other time this year. The Govern
ment's orders, OF course, take prece-
dence. 1t IL estimated that the or
ders already placed by the Govern.
ment total 10000 tons. The largest

Germ involves 5000 tons, for the Bald

usual query OF the week is for 1900
tons of wire nails for the allies. a

plies for Burmah, India. IL OF interest
to the trade. Adding to these actual
sales the large Inquiries which have
not been closed and the fact that the
movement, according to several al
thorities, Is approximately 5000 900
tons behind that Of last year, leads
the casual observer to the Conclusion
that an easier steel market Is hardly
in sight
