.AReE USE MADE OF. EXCHANGE


From March 18th to November 1st, a
total of $51, $50 worth of livestock was
sold through the farmers exchange
maintained by the farm bureau OF
Adams county. A car load Of pota-
toes was also shipped in and delivered
to the farmers through the exchange.
That the farmers exchange is prov
ing its worth can be seen also from
results in Appanoose county. where
two Car loads OF potatoes and two
thirds of a car of apples were disposed
of in October through the exchange.
In Cerro Gordo county five car
loads of onions were disposed Of in
October by the farm bureau, all Of
which graded as number one extra
fancy. The last three cars netted
$115 hundred, f. o. b. Mason City.
When local markets in Dickinson
county we're unable to handle all Of
the. potatoes and beans produced in
the county. a survey of the surplus
products of these and other commune
ties was made and plans put under
way by the exchange for disposing of
them. Five car loads of potatoes have
already been sold.
Z The use farmers make of the ex-
change can be seen from the Jasper
county exchange list for October that
included 81 entries Of articles for sale.
This consisted of 81 head Of pure bred
cattle, 100 head of grade cattle, 176
pure bred hogs, 81 head Of breeding
ewes, 800 cockerels, c45 bushels Of
seed grain, 40 bushels OF clover seed
and 80. bushels OF cane seed.

ED TO REIMBURSE CITY FOR
MONEY SPENT

Asking judgment for $625394, with
interest from the time various amounts
were paid until the judgment is set
tied, G. G. Pickett, city attorney, has
filed suit against the Aetna Accident
and Liability company of Hartford
Conn. with branch office at Salt
Lake, and will press the suit, which
he hopes will be tried at the June term
/ OF court.
The defendant company is the bond
ing company for the Byrd-Mendenhall
CONSTRUCTION company of Salt Lake,
Utah, which latter company paved the
streets of Moscow in the Main street
district The suit is brought on a
the Byrd-Mendenhall Construction
company, and a bond given at the
same time, signed by the Aetna COM
pany providing that the paving laid
by the construction company would be
maintained in good condition for five
years.
The bond provides that the surface
of the paving shall be maintained wa
ter proof, free from blemishes and in
as good condition as when completed,
for five years from March, 1914
The complaint charges that in the
fiscal year of 1914-15 the. city spent
$218355 for repairs to this paving.
During the fiscal year of 1867 the
sum of $518 was spent and the fiscal
year of 1917-18 the sum Of s30553S
was spent for repairs.
The court asked to grant Judgment
against the defendant company for
these sums with interest from the time
they were paid until relief is granted.
The total sum asked for is $6253.94.
The case is an important one and
City Attorney Pickett has prepared an
extended brief covering every detail
of the transaction. 1t is hoped to get
a favorable decision for it will mean
much to the city in later and future
