As matter OF fact farm products so

traded in, in All open market. Products.
such as potatoes, onions. beans and
cabbage are relatively higher than
grain. Contracts for wheat for deliv-

Similar premiums exist. althO not SO

County Court on Technically.
Special to Times- Republican,
Eldora, April 10.--In the case Of A..
H. Adams, Of Iowa Falls, against the
Illinois Central Railway Company for
alleged injuries received while working
for the company, Judge r. NJ. Wright
Monday morning sustained a motion
made by the defendant company which
defeated the plaintiff Mr.. Adams
asked $500 against the company and
brought his suit under the federal
statutes. The company asked the
court for directed verdict after the
plaintiffs evidence was all in on the
ground that il plaintiff had any case
at all it was under the state law. The
federal statutes seem to provide that
in such cases plaintiff must be EN-
ployed at the time of injury in inter-
state traffic and that the company's
train which brought about the alleged
injury must be similarly employed.
Judge Wright held that neither Adams
nor the train was engaged in Interstate
traffic at the time of the alleged In
jury, thus defeating plaintiff in his ac-.
ton to collect.

MANY WAR BRIDES.
Record Breaking Business at License
Bureau in CHICAGO.

Chicago. April TO-. Eleven hundred
and twenty six .126-young men Of
America, their country facing the
greatest crisis of all time, scrambled
TO the marriage license bureau yester-
day and got licenses to wed.
But they won't do it today.
And the reason why they won't do 1t
is because the marriage license bureau
will be manned by its regular crew OF
four clerks. The applicants for licenses
will take their regular turns. II it be-
comes necessary for them to wait a
month until that turn comes. wait a
month they will.
Many of yesterdays applicants were
men who either have made plans to en-
list or already have enlisted and are
marrying in order that their wives
may have government aid In case any
thing happens to them.
County Clerk Sweitzer announced
yesterday his disgust for the feverfsh
haste with which some Of the young
men are seeking the protection OF mat
rfmony against the call to arms He
said il he had his own way about 1t
he would suspend licenses, but being
guided by the law he said he would
remain within the strict letter OF the
statutes.
Yesterday he placed fifteen clerks in
| the license bureau to issue licenses to
the regiment o. applicants. Today there
will be just four. Applicants will have
to take their time. Even If the line OF
license seeking enthusiasts fills the
| county building and strings out into
Clark street they'll have to wait.
The crush of applicants was on even
before the wickets wore opened. Two
hundred young men, some OF them ac-
companied by their prospective wives,
waited for the first dip Of the ink.
In Judge Franklin's marriage court"
there were 142 ceremonies performed.
and Judge David was called upon to
| render assistance by marrying thirty
four couples.
The marriage market offered such a
promising field for runners OF various
sorts, justices of the peace. shops Of
many kinds. and dealers in fancy we'd
ding certificates that Sheriff Traeger
| felt compelled to detail twelve deputies
to keep the county building corridors
clear of the pests The deputies made
Inc arrests: they simply seized Offend
ers, punched them in the nose" and
booted them into the street. It was
sturdy justice, but effective. The run
ners behaved.
