c. E. ROBBINS, Auctioneer

The Christmas decorations in Har-
risonvillc were SO attractive they
were left in place for a week. The
plan OF decorating was simple. In
each corner of the courthouse yard.
there was placed a Christmas Tree.
All over the trees there were placed
red and green electric lights and tin
sci. Around the public square. the
regular globes inside the larger
globes of the White Way were re-
placed with red and green ones, and
the effect was beautiful.

Only One Bay State Town Has
Voted Dry

Somerville, Mass, December a.
Somerville, the last city i'll the state
to hold it's municipal election, fol.
lowed the example of all but one OF
the cities which voted earlier by de-
claring today in favor of the licensed
liquor saloon. The vote was: Yes
o7-7; no, 23oI.
1t was the first time since the To-
cal option system was instituted that
the city had gone wet"
The vote. however, will have no ef-
feet on the situation, as national pro-
hibition will become operative before
the the next leeal option year begins.

News Print Higher And Consump
ton Grows.

Washington. January Con
sumption of news print paper in the
United States during he last three
months reached record-breaking
point, along with prices, the Federal
Trade Commission reported in a
summary today. The average cost
of news print at mills at the begin
ming of December was $500 per 100
pounds, the commission reported, as
against $3.75 a year ago. In 1916 the
price was SI.8S, the lowest in several
years
High prices failed to cut down con-
sumption however, and the commits
sion estimated that in 1919 IA per
cent more news print was used than
in 1913. During the fourth quarter
of 1919. particularly, news print con-
sumption was running up, and the
commission said that the increase
then over similar period in 1913
would be between IS and 30 per cent.

LOSES SUIT FOR FEE TAX
Sums for Services Rendered" Not
Expenses, Judge Rules

Huge sums paid to individuals for
services rendered" in obtaining war
contracts may not be returned as "Op-
Grating expense" by corporations which
manufactured munitions during the
war.
This was the ruling made by United
States District Judge Dickinson today
in the suit brought by the Traylor En-
gineering Co, Of Allentown, Pa, to
recover $45 900 which the government
forced it to pay on the sum of 81 ,137,
500 turned over to General Henry G..
Trexler, Of Allentown, and James Phil
lips, Jr., of New York.
The two men put up $11O0 early
in the war to pay the expenses of
Samuel L. Traylor, president of the
company, on trip to Europe to get
war contracts. Trexler invested 5000,
and received back $3.50, 900, while Phil
lips advanced $500 and was given S4S7,-
800 in return. The only services they
performed besides loaning the money
was to use their good Offices in getting
the contracts and having the shells made
by the company tested.
