PASTOR
Returns To Cardington
From The Border

The first one of the soldier boys"
who enlisted for service along the
Mexican border and who did service
there, to return home, was Rev. John
w. Hickman, who was a member of
Co. A, 18th Regiment, of Cardington
He received his discharge papers in
Ell Paso, Tex, and came direct to this
place on Thursday. Other men in the
company were sent to Ft Wayne,
Michigan, where they were mustered
out, and all will probably be with rel
atives back home this week. Rev.
Hickman, in referring to his military
experience, is gratified to know that
he has been privileged to show his
willingness to respond to call to
defend his nation and the national
honor.-Mt. Gilead Register.

CONFUSING STATEMENTS
ARE Strengthened OUT
LORD EXPLAINS SOME THINGS
ABOUT COMPANIES

In the article that appeared in The
Banner of Feb. 27 in connection with
the Hope Forge & Machine company,
the Hope Engineering & Supply Co.
and the Harmon Coupler Company,
some errors crept in which have
caused confusion. In a conversa-
tion with The Banner, R. S. Lord, an
officer of all three companies, stated.
"These companies were organized
as separate concerns, have not been
consolidated and no such action is
contemplated. The Hope Forge &
Machine company, owning the local
plant, is simply a manufacturing con-
Germ. 1t does not take outside con-
tracts of any nature, and does not
manufacture pipe or pipeline. Like
other manufacturers, 1t has had some
slack times in its three years of ex-
istence, although now doing a good
business. The Hope Engineering &
Supply company is the contracting
company, carrying on work in various
oil and gas fields, and enjoying its
share of the present prosperity. al
though not to the extent the figures
in the former article indicated.
1.-THE bonus to employees mentioned
is not due to unexampled prosperity,
but to desire on the part of the or
ganization to give employees share
in any results Of the company's busi-
ness, 1t being their belief that the in
creased interest of the workmen
would justify such a plan"

Creamery in Receivers Hands

tu ftbSCtNSlo EldTuS-
While farmers up here in Morrow
county were last week wondering
from where was to come the money
in some thousands of dollars to pay
them for cream delivered to the
Edison Creamery Co., papers were
being made out in Columbus to throw
the plant into the hands of receiv-
er, although they had been given to
understand that no such steps would
be taken, it is stated, says the Mt.
Gilead Register.
In the offices of Hedges, Hoover &
Tingley, Hayden-Clinton building in
Columbus, on Tuesday, the Goth, was
given final arrangement to a petition
asking for a receiver. James A.
Hedges was the plaintiff in the ac-
ton and the Edison Creamery Co.
was made defendant. The action Is
brought, as the petition states, In or
der that the plaintiff may protect his
interests, he claiming that he Is an
accommodation maker of certain
notes held by banks against the
creamery and payable upon demand.
The petition claims that the creamery
is making no effort to pay off or dis
charge the notes.
1t appears that while the cream
check holders in Morrow county were
debating as to the line of procedure,
things were happening fast in Colum-
bus in order to button matters up
tight
The receivers were appointed in
Marion in the persons Of H. e. Stat
ford of Columbus and j. d. Vail of
Mt. Gilead, and notice has been CIV
en- that any persons having property
belonging to the creamery company
are to deliver the same at once. The
receivers gave bond in the sum of
$4,000. Attorney Olds appeared be-
fore the court in Marion on Tuesday
evening of last week, the same day
on which the receivership papers
were made out, asking for the receiv-
ers.
Receivers were given authority to
borrow $500 with which to operate
plant. ]. w. Glauner, r. G. Booher,
and J. Fl. Kelly appointed appraisers.
Receiver Vail on Thursday had
smoke curling from the factory stack
and hopes to make a sale of the prop
erty.
Before the action was taken by
members OF the firm to protect them
selves on notes for which they are
security, farmers in Morrow county
had held a conference in Mt. Gilead in
an effort to safeguard themselves
that they might at least recover por-
tion OF whst Is due them on the cream
checks, which 80 far have not been
konored. They ere still hoping that
satisfactory adjustment may be made.
