Road Contractor
Gets Judgment

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, March S-Judg-
ment in the complaint of William Red
dington, Greensburg road contractor,
against the Board of Shelby County Com
missioners, has been given for the de-
PENDANT in the Johnson Circuit Court
where the hearing was held on a change
Of venue granted the plaintiff. The court
refused to annul the contracts awarded
Mr.. Reddington for the construction of
two Shelby County roads. An appeal
probably will be taken by the plaintiff.
The contracts for the roads were award
ed in 1913 and the grade of the Mckay
road in Liberty Township and the Nj
gent road in Hanover Towr ship were
partly completed when work was stopped
and an appeal was filed by Mr.. Redding
ton to be released from the contracts,
which he stated could not be filed at
the pre-war prices on account Of the ad-
vance in the cost Of supplies.
The commissioners Of Shelby County
refused TO grant the petition on the
ground that Mr.. Reddington had made
no effort to complete the road before the
advance in prices and when he had an
opportunity to do SO at the contract price
and realize a reasonable profit.

PUT MUCH FAITH IN ACORN
In England 1t Is Looked Upon as
Protector Against Lightning, and
as Love Charm.

From Druidical times the acorn has
been held to be sure protection
against lightning, as the tops of many
flagstaffs, the end Of cOrnice poles,
umbrella tassels and blindcords still
attest. Even to this day, in English
rural districts, when thunderstorm
threatens, farm-laborers and others
will HE them to the nearest oak tree,
gather an acorn and carry it about
with them till the sky clears. In many
parts of Great Britain IL girl Tilted by
her lover will seek by the light of the
moon for Il dried acorn beneath an
oak tree. This She will burn at mid
night in candle flame, reciting mean
while the following doggerel: "'Tis not
this acorn | would burn, but my true
loves heart that | would turn. May
he no joy nor profit see, till he comes

hold that to plant an acorn brings
