of name or personnel in the firms
must be registered within fourteen
days. Various penalties are imposed
for failure to register or for furnish
ing false statements. In addition to
mourning heavy penalties by way Of
fine, a firm or person that makes de-
fault in registration may lose their
civil rights of enforcing contracts en-
tered into during the period of default.
Regulates Business Station
Furthermore, every individual or
firm required by the act to be regis
tered must state in all trade cata-
logues, circulars, showcards and bus
mess letters the following particulars:
present and any former names of the
proprietor or partners, their national
ity if not British, and (if their ma
tionality is not the nationality of orr
gin) their nationality Of origin. These
particulars. however, need only be
stated on trade catalogues, &C., which
are issued or sent "to any person in
any part Of his Majesty's dominions''
not on those sent to foreign coun-
tries. Noncompliance with these pro-
visions is punishable py fine.
Lastly, there is a provision enabling
the registrar to refuse to register any
firm name containing the word Brit
ish," if he is satisfied that such name
is misleading by reason Of the nation
ality of the persons owning or con-
trolling the firm. There does not ap-
pear to be much necessity for this
clause, seeing that in any event such
a firm would have to register and so
disclose the names and nationalities
of the partners.

RUPTURE

trunk several years ago. Doctors
said my only hope of cure was an OPP

Finally got hold of something that
quickly and completely cured me.
Years have passed and the rupture
has never returned, although I am
doing hard work as carpenter There
was no operation, no lost time, no
trouble. I have nothing to sell, but
will give full information about how
you may find a complete cure without
operation, If you write to me, Eugene

 RRIDGING SALINE
Half Dozen Merchants at Conference Display Gen
 erOus Desire to Aid.

Something more than $500 was pledged yesterday afternoon at a con- ference at the chamber of commerce rooms, on the subject of raising the fund of $1,000 cash donation and $1,000 with which to purchase Cleve- land county scrip at par for the pur- pose thus of aiding the erection of a steel bridge over the Saline river, near Poole, in Cleveland county.
 There were only a bare half dozen of the larger wholesalers present at the conference, but the matter was the subject of considerable enthusi- astic discussion. and the impression was generally held that there is no doubt the local portion of the big fund will be raised without difficulty. Dur ing the session one local wholesale house which was not represented sent word tha tit would donate $50 to the fund.
 It is believed that in less than 10 days Pine Bluffs full share of the fund will be ready. the $1,000 cash dona- ton and the second $1,000, which is to be used to float a $5,000 issue of Cleveland county scrip, ordered issued for the purpose of aiding in the con structiOn of the bridge.

 Merchant and Planter.

A deed was filed in the circuit court yesterday as result of the closing of a deal whereby w. w. West of Wabba- seka purchased from Louis Altheimer of Little Rock a 950-acre plantation near Wabba seka for a consideration ipproximat;ng $50,O00.
 The plantation purchased yesterday by Mir. West immediately adjoins a tract of 750 acres owned already by him. and which is in cultivation. He also owns another tract of about 450 acres near Wabbaseka. and it is his plan to place in cultivation, as rapidly as possible, his entire holdings.
 The tract transferred yesterday is part of the old Joe Merrill plantation and consists of $50 acres, 75O of which are under cultivation, and 200 acres are in virgin timber.
 The property, which was formerly known as the Jim Collier deadening" !" was purchased in 1884 for $10 per acre, 8 price considered eXorbitant at that time, timber land at that tune bringing from $2 to $5 per acre. The property was later known as the Cole tract. For mile and quarter it fronted on Wabbaseka bayou.
