Brings Suit Against Midland Cattle
Company.

Storm Lake, Ia.-Suit has been
filed by Charles Schmitt of Maple
Valley township against the Midland
Cattle company, ]. V. Karlson, j. A.
Brewer and Ed Schambler, asking
that certain moneys and promissory
notes given by the plaintiff for stock
in the company be returned to the
plaintiff.
The petition alleges that he has
paid money and given notes to the
company for $4,000 worth of stock
which was sold to him by Mr.. Karl
son, who misrepresented the PROPOSE
ton to him. The plaintiff alleges that
it was represented to him that the
company would be able to secure
money from the Federal Reserve
bank at three per cent and that the
profits of the company would run as
high as 40 per cent. The petition sets
forth that he originally bought $10,-
900 worth of the stock and that later
when it was represented to him that
If he would take $40, 900 more stock
the salesman would resell it for him
before the notes came due at not less
than 125 per share, or profit of
$50 per share. The plaintiff alleges
that the representations were, 'in
the purpose of defrauding and de-
ceiving," and that the company was
not legally Incorporated and organic
ed to do business in Iowa.
1t is expected that the matter will
come up for hearing at the term of
the district court which opens on
with Judge d. f. Coyle pre-
siding.

Won't Sting Them Again.

About two years ago a well-dress-
ed, money-spending, smooth-tongued
man dropped into a small western
Iowa town. He was a good mixer and
for more than week did nothing
but look around and spend money.
Then after sizing everything up he
began to sell stock in the Pan Motor
Co. Business fiourished. Rumors were
swept aside Many turned over their
Liberty Bonds for stock, expecting tn
get rich quick. The salesman impress
sed every man he sold shares to that
he was one of the favored few. About
$4,000 was taken out of this COM
munity in less than two months.
The smooth stranger vanished. To-
day the stocks are worthless, and the
stock holders realize they have been
stung. A man now would need. to
wear a coat of iron IL he went to that
town and tried to sell stock Of a
speculative kind.

New Check Forging Stunt.

Report comes from Anamosa that
one evening last week man called
up several stores in that place, and
said that he was Mr.. Conklin, AMI
to know if they would cash check
for his hired man. He was told that
they would. A little later a follow
called at four different stores and
cashed checks calling for various
amounts, one for $3.50, which was
cashed at the Mills & Hoffman stores.
The checks were drawn on the Niles
& Waters Bank, and when they were
presented for payment the cashier
informed the parties who cashed
them that no such person by the
name of w. r. Conklin had a credit
at the bank. The men who cashed the
checks supposed that it was w. p.
Conklin of Newport, whe had called
them up, and of course his check is
good. But Mr.. Conklin never knew
anything about the matter and II
looks as II some of the Anamosa
store keepers have had some expert
ence for no one seems to know any
thing about the fellow who pulled
the deal.-Dyersville Commercial.

of butter, eggs and chickens have
been marketed by Mrs. John Jensen

Machine to Shock Small Grain.

A machiAe that shocks small grain
is one of the features to be seen in
the Labor Saving Exhibit at Iowa
State College. This shocker is at
tached to any grain binder and col
lects two bundles at time from the
machine until twelve are together.
A string then ties them all together
and they are set off on the ground
ready to be capped.
With this attachment an extra
horse is needed to draw the binder
and some expense is incurred in the
Irvine used. However, the time that
is saved is the most important feat
IRE when harvest labor is so scarce
and expensive at present.
The first machines out were made
to pick up each bundle as it came
from the binder but that method did
not leave sufficient time for the band
to be placed around the twelve bun
dies, and jam always followed.

that is drab, uninteresting pro-

Eddy estate is far from that.
Mr.. Eddy knew the value of
bottle of good wine. Included in
the estate are 500 bottles of
choice wines and liquors, on
which the State cannot collect
any inheritance tax because
wines and liquors possess no
legal value.
The list of the beverages stored
in the Eddy house reads like the

town of Hadjin (Hajin) has been cap
tured by Turkish Nationalists, who
have massacred the inhabitants. num-
bering 10000, according to despatch
to the Armenian bureau in London.
These Armenians had been holding
out against the attacking forces since
March last.
Dispatches from Constantinople on
July l last said that all Americans were
then safely out of Hadjin. Later re-
ports indicated that Hadjin was between
the fire Of the French, who had evacu-
ated the city. and the Turkish National
lists, and that shells from the guns Of
both armies were falling in the place.
Hadjin has been menaced by the
Turks since early this year. Following
the massacre in Marash in February
Turkish forces were reported concen-
trating in strength IN the mountain re-
gion of Cilicia and threatening many
towns and cities, including Hadjin.
Zeitun and HUNT. At that time appeals
were sent out by the inhabitants OF
Hadjin asking aid. and the Armenians
appealed to President Wilson to send
American naval forces to Baum and
ammunition to aid their cause against
the Turkish Nationalist.
A despatch to the London Times from
Constantinople dated March IL. said
that alarming messages were being re-
ceived there from HadJin to the effect
that the remnant of the population,
about TO- 900, the majority Of whom were
women, children and aged men. were
terrified by the menacing concentration
of bands of Turks in that neighborhood.
All the ablebodied men had left Had1in
and joined the Armenian forces, and 1t
was feared that there would be whole
sale slaughter of the defenceless inrabi-
tants of Hadjin should the Turks take
the place.
At the same time reports said the
Turkish Minister of the Interior in Con-
stantinople had frankly confessed his in
ability to do anything to aid the peo-
pie of Hadjin or those elsewhere in
Cilicia.
Negotiations were then opened ii -ect-
ly with the commander of the Turkish
Nationalist forces in Cllicia. with Il view
to saving the Armenians there from a
general massacre at the hands OF the
Turks He promised he would spare
the Arrnenians if he took Hadjin.
Subsequent dispatches have indicated
that the situation in Ciicia was going
from baS to worse, and that unless the
French undertook the relief of Had1n
excuses. possibly a massacre. were to
be expected. 1t was with this knowl-
edge of the situation that American
relief workers in Hadjin were ordered
out of the place.
Constantinople dispatches. dated July
u. said that Miss Edith Cold Of Cleve-
land. Ohio; Miss Mary Super Of Mar
berth, Pa, and Miss Katherine Bre-
demus OF Canada had got out of Hadjin
safely and had arrived in Samsun, on
the Black Sea. A previous despatch told
of Miss Alice Clark of Evanston, ILL.,,
having got away safely from there.
