CHICKEN AND WAFFLE SUPPER
DONATIONS ACCEPTED.

Due to an ever increasing expense
in answering out of town calls for
help, the Westminster Firemen find
themselves getting deeper and deep
er in debt and to meet this deficit.
they have decided to again ask the
citizens of Westminster and Carroll
county to come to their aid. In pur-
suance of that decision the firemen
are making arrangements to hold a
Chicken & Waffle Supper, Bazaar and
Dance. at their building in this city on
July 1. 3 and 4th, and hope sincerely
that their many friends will come
again to their aid and thereby secure
for the out-of-town citizens such help
as the firemen shall no able to rem
der in the future, as well as the imme-
diate help and service rendered at
all times to the citizens of Westmin-
ster and Carroll county will respond
Our farmers can spare a chicken or
two or some products which can be
left at NJ. E. Campbell's Meat Market,
opposite of the Firemen's Building.
On July 4th, at $50 p. m, the fire
men will make a run" from College

College Field between two well match
ed teams to which an admission of so

The ''boys" are ready always to re-
spond to calls for help and it is to be
hoped that the citizens of Westmin-
ster and Carroll county will resopnd
generously when the 'boys" call on
them for help in their labors of chari-
ty toward home folks, friends, neigh

and County Agent, Mr.. Fuller, both
prominent leaders in grange and
club work through the county, were
present and were called upon for the
first of the program.
Miss Everett gave most interest
ing and helpful talk suggesting vari-
Gus plans and goals for grange work,
thus making the entire surroundings
and home life on the farm more at
tractive and pleasant
County Agent Fuller then gave an
equally interesting discussion on the
various forms of lime and sorts, fer
tilizers and farm crops in general.
Both of these talks were much ap-
preciated as was evidenced by the
many questions asked by the grang-
ers.
Following was comic recitation
Aunt Melissy on Boys" by the lee
turer, after which refreshments were
served, consisting of ice cream, straw
berries and cake.
The Worthy Master was ably assisted
in entertaining the grange by Mr.. and

enjoy the social hour after a most
profitable meeting.
The Grange adjourned at a late
hour to meet TO rthe next meeting in

IMPORTANT CASE
DECIDED.

This week the Court of Appeals de-
cided the case of The National Dis
count Company of Cleveland, Ohio, in
favor of Jefferson D. Hooper, of this
county The suit was decided by Judge
Forsythe in the Circuit Court for
Carroll County, in Equity, in favor OF
Mr.. Hooper, and the National Dis
count Company took an appeal from
the decree, and the action of Judge
Forsythe was affirmed by the appel
late court. The suit grew out of the
purchase by Mr.. Hooper of truck in
Washington from an agent of the Chi
cago Pneumatic Tool Company, who
sold on credit terms when he had au-
thority only to make the delivery OF
the truck for cash. The agent took the
notes for the truck in his own name,
and discounted them with the Nation
al Discount Company to which he
transferred the chattel mortgage Civ
en- by Hooper to the agent on the
truck. The Discount Company claimed
to be an innocent holder for value,
and that the agent had the authority
to make the sale on credit. The Tool
Company made Mr.. Hooper pay it for
the truck. and then the National Dis
count Company attempted to enforce
the chattel mortgage it held against
the truck in the hands of Hooper. The
lower court held that the National
Discount Company took the paper
with notice that the agent had no au-
thority to sell and deliver the truck,
except on cash terms, and decided
that Hooper would not have to pay
again for the truck. The Court of APP
peals has sustained this view.
The Discount Company was repre-
sented by Charles o. Clemson, Esq,
and Jefferson D. Hooper by Bond &
Parke

sEABROOK RESUMES PRACTICE

When Edwin M. Mellor, Jr., Esq,
became Clerk of the Circuit Court, on
December 1st, 1921, William L. Sea-
brook, Esq, consented to act as chief
deputy clerk until such time as these
who would become the permanent de-
puties should become familiar with
the duties of the office. Mr.. Seabrook's
acceptance of the position was great
ly appreciated by the Court, the Clerk
of the Court, members of the bar and
the public, by whom it was realized
that; in view of the fact that lawyer
is prohibited by law from practicing
his profession while acting as clerk or
deputy. Mr.. Seabrook had accepted the
position at great sacrifice to himself.
Having fulfilled his duties, he has re-
signed the position, and resumed his
practice of law. at his Office No. 80
Court Street. Mr.. A Earl Shipley is,
new chief deputy and Court Clerk, and
is discharging all the duties Of the
office most ably, to his personal cred--
it and the interest of the public
