by the crown prince in duel,

necessary to threaten severe pen

THE PRESS IS DOING IT'S BIT


The newspapers are not seeking
any particular credit, says the
Birmingham News. for what they
have done, are doing and expect
to continue to do to help win the
war They have very ably and
very fully press-agented the ac-
tions Of others, most Of whom de-
served the praise
They have told the public re
peatedly what this or that man,
this or that organization had
done, but as a rule they have kept
pretty quiet about what they
themselves have been doing along
patriotic lines.
Most Of them have told the
public frequently about the pa
triotism Of their employees. Many
of them carry service flags at the
mastheads on their editorial pa
ges. Nearly all Of them have
boastcd about how much their
employees had given to Red Cross
and Y Nj G. A. and how many
Liberty bonds they had bought.
But. after all, that showed
nothing except that the atmos-
phere around the office was
right, encouraging employees to
do their part.
This editorial is written with
the idea Of taking off the mask
Of modesty for the moment for

STOCK MARKET

New York. July 12-Shippings and specialties imparted some degree of strength to the general list in the early dealings of today's stock mar ket. Marine preferred gained almost a point, with Atlantic Gulf and Su- natra Tobacco rising two points. In- dustrials showed perceptible improve ment under lead of United States Steel and Crucible Steel and equip ment were fractionally better. Most of these gains were extended materi- ally in the course of the first half hour.
 Trading settled down to it's recent sluggish cousre after the early de- mand had been satisfied, subject to variations in some of the more specu- lative issues. For example, Sumatra Tobacco's three point gain was fol- lowed by reaction of that much, and other specialties yielded some of thei1 advantage. United States Steel fea- tured another moderate advance in the second hour with shippings American Woolen, American Can and United States Rubber, but another set back ensued at noon on the heavines of Reading.

The supreme judicial court of Mas sachusetts held, in the case of Com monwealth vs. Gallata, that where a landlord terminated tenancy at will of city lots, the tenant was entitled to growing crops as against the landlord and subsequent lessee with knowl- edge of the first tenancy.
 The court said; "The general prin- ciple is that where a person is in pos session of land under title that may be determined by an uncertain event not within his control, 1t is essential to the interests of agriculture that such a termination of his lease shall not prevent him reaping what he has sown and we see no reason why a tenant should be denied the right to emblements by the act of the land lord where the crop Is raised on a city lot rather than on q farm"
