TOBACCO BUYERS
SUE FOR DAMAGE
a. SUITS RANGING FROM 500 To
$500 FILED IN OHIO CIR
CUT COURT.
PREPARING A PETITION
Buyers To Ask Enormous sum From
Other Buyers For Alleged In
termeddliug.

Barnes & Smith, representing tho
Ross- Vaughn Tobacco Company. and
Woodward & Kirk, acting for j. y.
westerfeld. have filed forty-two dam
age suits with Circuit Clerk A. c.
Porter against tobacco growers OF
Ohio, Dayiess and Mclean counties
for alleged contract breaking. The
buyers concerned claim to have ie-
gaiiy bought the defendants tobac.
CO and state in their petition that the
tobacco has since been sold to other
parties the defendants thereby fall
ing to abide by their contracts and
causing the plaintiffs damage.
The Ross-vaughn company and
Westerfield bought several Thousand
pounds of tobacco In this and adioin-
ing counties in the fall before prices
had advanced 20 the present high
point. Some form of written contract
was signed by the grower whereby
he agreed To deliver to the purchaser
at stated prices. When prices adj
yanced It was temptation 10 the SELL
er and II is claimed that many of
them sold their tobacco elsewhere,
Where deliveries were made the pur
chasing companies in many instance :
paid more for the weed than origin
ally promised.
The damage asked by the plaintiffs
ranges from $500 to $500. depending
upon the size of the crop. The result
of these cases will be watched with
interest as there has been some Ques-
ton as TO whether or not the con-
tracts would be held binding. The
attorneys representing the plaintiffs
are confident that the contracts are
legal.
Mig Suit To tie Filed.
The Republican has information
that damage suit involving large
sum OF money will be filed by certain
tobacco buyers against certain other
tobacco buyers today or tomorrow Ia
Ohio Circuit Court wherein the
plaintiffs charge intermeddling with
contracts. No names would be Civ
en- out but from the best Information
obtsinable It seems that the suit Is
the outgrowth OF the alleged broken
contracts referred to above.
II is said that the question invoiv-
ed has never been decided by the
Kentucky courts and II is certain that
the case will be bitterly fought.

These disclosed that all of the Is diff

Then Doctor Whitaker designed
a fountain which throws a slautiug

HOW MUCH ARE YOU WORTHY
Salary of $50 Week is Same as In
come at Per Cent on an in
vestment of $4,000.

What are You worth? Have You
any idea? Did YOU ever capitalize
your wages and figure it out? This
is the way to ascertain how much
your labor is really worth.
For instance, a man who has saved
100000 and invested it at 5 per cent,
receives an annual income of 81, 900
a year, or about $50 a week.
The clerk in the office or the work
man in the factory who gets $50 a
week. therefore, receives the income
at 5 per cent on an investment Of
$4,000.
He is a $4,000 man, that is, he is
getting as much, week by week, as
the man with $4,000 who depends
solely upon the income from his in
vestments and who does not work for
living.
The man who earns $40 a week
has about the same income as the in
weston with $4,000 put out at in
terest at per cent.
So labor is capital. 1t has a mar
ket value. 1t can be called com
modify because it can be sold by its
owner the same as any other posses
sion he may have.
These are simple facts. The dema-
goguc who breaches unreason and
unrest and who s0ws the seeds of dis
content and unhapPiness among the
working masses of the country
should now and then be reminded OF
them.
What is he worth to you?-John

Bread is one of the items most
commonly wasted in many AmerI-

Agriculture. The waste Is probably
due to the fact that many house
keepers do not think of bread as
costing much and are careless about

Toast is another form in which
partly stale bread can be MADE at
