LIABLE FOR CAR UNDER RE-
PAIR.

A case recently was decided in
which the plaintiff delivered his ca"
to a dealer for repairs. While ne
gotiations were pending regarding
these repairs the owners chauffeur
presented written orders for the
car, signed by the owners daughter,
took The car out and while on
"frolic OF his own" the car was
wrecked. The owner, claiming the
dealer h&i no authority to deliver
the ca to his chauffeur, sued for
damages.
Evidence was introduced to show
the daughter had no authority to
give a written order for the car.
The defendant there rested its case
on, the claim that there existed a
custom permitting garage keepers
10 deliver the owners car to his
chauffeur en- demand unless express
~ enJoned against doing so, this
N0ii'eIG DeluS recognized as ueliN-
cry to the owner Such custom
would become a part Of the contract.
In this case the owner was ont Of
the city in another state and did not
ATTEND that the car should be de-
hVered 10 his chauffeur. Hence the
court held the custom did not ap-
ply, saying the distinction is obvious
between the ordinary use and opera
ton OF car in commission and a
car left for more or less extensive
repairs t. be fixed by agreement
with the owner after examination.

LIABILITY OF NOTE.

Winters and Sprang wanted to buy
a car. A sale was affected and the
dealer TOOK in payment a note sign
ed by Winters with the name of
Strang placed on the back Of the
note. The dealer expected Strang to
sign as a maker of note and made
out the note TO read we promise to
pay" etc. However, no objection
was made to the manner of signing
the note. When the note became
due ana remained unpaid the dealer
brought suit against both Winters
and St-ang. Looking at the note
alone, Strang's name appearing on
the bacG If the note in blank made
him IN epdorser. But the dealer
did not SO regard Strang and did not
give him notice of dishonor.
From the facts it would appear
that Strang was one Of the purchas-
ers of the car and as such should
have been one of the makers of the
note. However, the note itself
shows he was not maker but an
endorser and as such entitled to
notice before he could be bound.
The question arises, May parole
evidence be had to show that Strang
signed in sny other capacity than en-
dorser?" The court decided it could
not be had, but under the statute
parol evidence was admitted to show
in what character he endorsed,

performances. A demonstration like

ing and servicing tractors than the
gigantic affairs like Wichita.
Whi,o &he whole demonstration is
carried ont on businesslike basis,
it is especially noteworthy to watch
the observers. They are pretty
| much on the job and see to it that
the rules are not misapplied. Each
| machine has it's observer, and the OBJ
server knows exactly what to be on
the lookout for. Thus there is no
skipping :or the field, no machines
plow faster than the advertised plow-
ing spaed. There is no playing to
the grandstand. All the tractor men,
farmers accessory men, in fact, the
whole crowd, is out for the good of
power fafming. 1t is only natural,
of course during the private DEM
onstrations which take place from 3
to daily on the test days, that the
makers CT dealers try to impress up
on the crowds or individuals the
merits OF their machines But when
the pubic demonstrations are on the
men WHO entered the machines stay
behind the sidelines and the two doz-
en- or more machines work as a unit
to spread the gospel of motorizing
the farm;
Right to Spread Tests.
The Department of Agricultural
Engineering is doing exactly the
right hing in spreading the tess
over a considerable portion of Ohio
rather than holding weeks test or
so at one more Or less centrally To-
Gated spot. Four demonstra tons at
four oo:nls in the state mean more
people ere going to see them. Be-
sides, It brings the tractor into prom
inence in sections of the state where
tractors are at present not so abund-
antly used. Small demonstrations
and many of them is good slogan
for any state to adopt, providing
there is a potential market for
tractos-
The demonstrations yesterday and
today were held on the Channel and
Becker farms, about miles south
of the city. Here is another point
for those who intend putting on trac-
tor demonstrations. Do like the
Ohio state officials did--locate your
grounds SO they are easily reached.
Both tests held this week were on
locations right on the line of the
electric railways, and, az the fields
did not have to be so very large for
the purpose the selected farms could
be located quite close to the cities.
There s;a great deal in getting a
tractor demonstration located so you
can get there and back easily.

HOLD On TO YOUR GOVERNMENT
INSURANCE.

In the joyful transition from army
to civilian life, the Importance OF
keeping. ur the government insur-
St. Tammany farmer. [volume] (Covington, La.) 1874-current, 1919-08-16

ance, Is apt to be overlooked, and g
special effort is being made, by the
Government Insurance Officials, to
see that every soldier carries a little
insurance. Many conflicting argu-
ments are heard regarding the gov
eminent insurance, but talks with
several expert insurance agents, who
boost il for all it is worth, assures
one that he should freeze on" to it..
Government insurance is claimed
to be the safest insurance that can
be carried, because it is backed by
the Uu:ted States Government. 1t
is also the cheapest, because no pri-
vate concern can give the same policy
at so low rate. In changing into
the different policies, no medical ex-
animation is necessary and it is free
from al restrictions as to travel,
residence or even war.
Premiums may be paid monthly,
quarterly, semi-annually or annual
ly, and should a premium be missed
it is very easy to renew it. A dis
ability benefit is offered, that be-
comes GOOD regardless of age or Of
risky occupation. Amy person who
is physically or mentally impaired,
to the extent that they are not able
to earn a living, is paid sufficient
sum from his insurance, each month,
to live upon.
In case of death the insurance is
paid, 50 much month, to the bene-
ficiary instead in a lump sum, and
when It is known that the proceeds
from so per cent Of all insurance
policies are squandered within six
years after payment, this plan should
appeal tc everyone. The new insur-
ance will be protected from claims
of cred TORS, and neither will the
holder or the beneficiary be able to
pawn it.
Every soldier, sailor and marine
is urgeI to take long look into
the future before dropping his in
suranee One insurance company
has ordered it's agents not to accept
applications for policies from men
have been in the service until they
have taken the full amount Of the
new government insurance to which
they are entitled.

foot; no l. w. w. or other danger
Gus elements connected with the ex-
plosive vehicle. According to the
best information we were able to
get the nitro was brought here from
ElDorado for the purpose of dis
placing a lost bit in the bottom of
the Traders oil test west of Liberal.
And not only is the oil well in
for Shooting" but the new water
we'll being drilled for the city will
get jolt also as soon as the neces-
sary explosive arrives.
The rotary bit has gotten into a
bed of large gravel which makes
progress extremely slow. There
fore a charge of dynamite will be
used to clear the hole so the rotary
may go on down. The dynamite is
on the way and as soon as it arrives
work will be resumed on the well.

COMMISSIONERS ORDER A
FORDSON FOR ROAD WORK
Business Men ami County Board
Discuss Road Situation and
Make Plans.

Fifteen or twenty Liberal busi-
ness men held a conference with
the County Commissioners Monday
afternoon regarding the roads of
the county.
AS a result the commissioners
have placed an order for a Fordson
tractor to be used in dragging the
roads of the county. This is an eX-
pertinent and if it proves successful
two other tractors will be purchased,
one for each township.
One of the most important argu-
ments made in favor of tractor
dragging was a statement read by
Mayor Griffith showing the cost of
dragging the streets of Liberal the
Fordson way.
According to figures prepared by
the city the cost of dragging the
streets was trihe over so cents
per mile.
An order was also placed for
some government trucks to be used
in road work, two for each town
ship. All these will cost the county
is the freight, but it is not definite
ly known just when they may be
secured.
The business men thru the Cham
Der of Commerce are cooperating
with the commissioners in every
possible way to secure good roads,
and it is hoped the two bodies may
succeed in improving the roads of
the county.

CITY COUNCIL CONTRACTS
MUCH ADDITIONAL PAVING
North Kansas, Lincoln, and Several
Connecting Streets
Contracted.

Instead of finishing for the year
as seemed likely, the work of paw
ing has just started in earnest.
The paving of Kansas avenue is
no longer in doubt. A satisfactory
arrangement has been reached by
the countcil and the property own
ers, and an ordinance has been
passed for the work.
This street will be paved from
Fifth to the north line of the city.
The ordnance also provides for
the Lincoln avenue paving. This
extends from the railroad to Eighth
street.
First street from Kansas to Lin
coin, and Third and Fourth streets
from Kansas to Lincoln were ord
cred in, also Seventh from Kansas
to Sherman.
In all this makes 91a blocks of
paving contracted at the last meet
ing of the council.
The paving on Kansas avenue will
be 40 feet. On the block between
Fifth and Sixth a retaining wall
will be built on the east side of the
street to take care of Can Greek
until such time as it can be per
manently taken care of.
The Lincoln avenue paving will
be 46 feet wide to Fourth street
and 30 feet wide the remainder of
the street
First street from Kansas to Lin
coin will be 40 feet wide Third
from Kansas to Lincoln will be
As feet and Fourth from Kansas to
Lincoln, 30 feet. The three blocks
on Seventh from Kansas to Sher-
man will be 30 feet wide.
The idea in paving cross streets
is to facilitate travel without the
necessity of coming clear back to
Second street in order to keep on
the paving.
In addition to the additional paw
ing new bridges of reinforced con-
crete will be built across Can
Greek at Fourth on Sherman, Fifth
on Lincoln ana Sixth on Kansas.
These will be so constructed as to
be in line with the permanent i'm
provement of the creek.
The James Stanton Construction
Company will receive the work on
the additional contracts. Those
qualified to judge say this company
has given us an excellent job an
the paving already laid and they
deserve the business.
