THOUGHT NINE PIGS
WORTH ANY OLD cow

A sort of sight trade got the
parties to it into Mayor Morrow's court
last Saturday, when VIM. Martz, Wash
ington township farmer, charged Carl
Miller with taking the wronT cow in
trade for nine pigs. Martz had two
cows, one valued at SOS and the other
at $50. Martz was not at home when
Miller delivered the pigs, and the latter
took COW that he thought was intended
in the trade-the $50 one. After hear
ing the evidence of several witnesses in
the case, the court decided in favor of
Martz and his sos COW.

.k|lRATES SURE TO Be
DELIVERED TO FARMERS
REPORTS TO CONTRARY PUR.
POSELY CIRCULATED
Charged That Selfish Interests Put
Out Word In Order to Sell Nj
trates at 500 Ton and Up.

Washington, March 2.-There
does not appear to be any founda-
ton for the reports coming to Wash
ington that the Government will be
unable to furnish nitrate of soda in
time for the spring crops.
Senator Simmons said tonight that
his information from the department
OF agriculture is to the effect that al
ready 1900 tons OF soda have been
landed at Wilmington and another
cargo is expected to reach that port
some time this month. The senior
senator says his information is that
every order placed with the govern
ment for this fertilizer will be fulfill
ed in plenty time to be used for the
spring crops.
The erroneous report originated
through the same source which has
been trying to convince farmers that
they will not get the nitrate of soda
In time for the crop this spring in
order that private concerns might
sell their supply to the people of the
South at from 500 a ton up. Abso-
lutte information has reached Wash
ington that private interests have
been circulating these reports and
it is more than probable that the
reports coming from Wilson that the
government will not be able to sup
ply the fertilizer, comes from the
same source.
The secretary of agriculture has
given Senators Simmons and Over
man and Representatives Robinson
and Doughton absolute assurance
time and time again that the sodas
would be delivered in time for use.
All Of these gentlemen tonight be-
lieve the contracts will be carried out
to the letter and that there will be
no delay in the farmers obtaining
whatever amounts they have asked
for. They believe the farmers need
have no fear that delivery will be
made promptly.

METHODIsTs GET VERDICT
Supreme Court Sustains Lower Court
i'm Insurance Case.

A telegram was received Saturday
stating that the supreme court of
Illinois had sustained the verdict of
the lower court which gave the
Dillon Methodist church a verdict for
$4,000 against an insurance com
pany for losses sustained in the fire
that destroyed the church three
years ago. There was universal re-
1oicing in Dillon when the good news
was received.
The insurance company against
whom the verdict was obtained
makes specially OF church insur-
ance. Rev. Mr.. Cauthen wrote the
company and asked if they would
take $4,000 on the church at a GER
tain rate. The company replied,
stating they would be glad to carry
that amount at a certain rate and en-
closed an application blank which
the church trustees were asked to
fill out and return. The application
was duly executed and mailed to the
company day or two before the fire
occurred. The company refused to
pay the loss, claiming the insurance
was not in force at the time of the
nre. Suit was instituted and the
lower court gave the church a YER
dict for $4,000. An appeal was
taken and few days ago the su-
preme court Of Illinois handed down
a verdict sustaining the decision of
the lower court.
