$4,000 Damage
Suit Heard By.
Bingham Today

Asking for 5000 damages, the
suit of August H. Ohms against H.
L. Moore, charging misrepresenta-
tion on the part OF the defendant
in regard to the value Of 105 acres
Of land located near Broadacres,
was commenced this morning be-
fore George G. Bingham Of De-
partment No. 2 Of the circuit
court.
Ohms alleges that Moore mis-
represented the amount of timber
on the land and that a reasonable
value fthe tract, for which he
paid S125 per acre, was SIS per
acre. Dut to representations OF
Moore, Ohms claims he was dam
aged in the sum of S5,267.50. The
purchase price of the land ac-
cording to the agreement was
S12,750 of which, according to
Moore, the plaintiff only paid
81, 600.
DR.. Giesy of Aurora was placed
on the stand by the defendant s
attorney this morning, and testi-
fled that some time before the sale
was made, he, with Zeno Schwab,
cashier of the Aurora State bank,
had appraised the property for a
loan, and had placed the value
Of the land at $125 per acre be-
cause of the amount Of cord wood
on the greater portion.
The testimony of Schwab, who
was later called to the stand was
along the same line. ~
II is probable that the case Will
be taken under advisement ana a
decision rendered as soon as pos
sible by Judge Bingham.

PLANS FOR
BONUS ARE
COMPLETE
Perfected Bill Will Be
Presented to Full
Committee for Action
Tuesday

Washington, March 3.-The
working out of details Of the COM
nromise soldiers bonus bill was
completed today by the special
subcommittee of the house ways
and means committee republicans
and it was announced that the re-
drafted measure would be present
ed to the entire committee mem
bership, republicans and demo
Gratis, next Tuesday.
The perfected plan will be sub
mitted to the majority membership
Monday. Chairman Fordney and
other members said they did not
think it would be necessary tc
present the bill to a republican
congress but added that the meas
ure would not be reported to the
house for ten days or two weeks
SO as to give members ample time
In which to study the compromise
Certificate Plan Changed.
One important change in the
original adjusted service certifi-
cate title was made today and
members estimated that this
would reduce the total ultimate
cost Of the bonus by perhaps as
much as half billion dollars. I'm
der this change the face value OF
the certificate would be the sum
Of the adjusted service pay, plus
rs per cent, instead Of 40 per cent
as originally proposed, plus inter
est at the rate of AZ per cent a
year, compounded annually.
The maximum interest rates
which banks could charge in max
ing loans to holders Of the certifi-
Gates was fixed at the amount OF
the rediscount rate charged by the
regional federal reserve banks,
plus two per cent.
Forfeiture Provided.
Under a new provision is serv-
ice man defaulted in payments OF
the bank and the bank made de-
mand on the government at the
end Of three years for the amount
due, the government, instead of
taking over and carrying the loan,
would cash the certificates at its
then value.
If all Of the service men took
maturity twenty years after their
maternity twenty years after their
issue, it was estimated that the
cost Of the bonus to the govern
men would be approximately $4,-
0O0,00O,O00.
1t was figured, however, that
through borrowing and forfeit
ures, this cost would be reduced
by something like a billion dol
lars.

BIG GRAIN
POOL PLAN
PERFECTED
Pooling of All Wheat
OF State Associations
Provided by Terms of
Agreement

Denver, Colo, March "a fed
Grafton Of all the state wheat
growers cooperative societies on
the 100 per cent pooling plan to
be known as the American Wheat
Growers, associated, resulted from
series Of conferences here which
ended today.
The membership represented in
the organization controls between
rs, ,090, 600 and 100, 100000 bush
els of wheat, and this control will
be further augmented as various
states, now either in the process
Of organizing or contemplating
organizing, complete their work.
Closer Union Secured.
In addition to the formation of
this gigantic pooling plan, for
controlling the flow Of wheat from
the producer to the consumer, the
conference resulted in removing
the antagonism that has been
growing between the various state
organizations and the United
States Grain Growers, Inc.
The details Of the federation
provide for the establishment of a
coming system for the handling of
wheat. The federation will fuction
as soon as one more zone consist
ing of two or more states in one
locality have perfected their state
organizations. The Northwest

organized and has been operating
for two years.
State Units Free.
Another detail of the organiza-
tion provides that each state Or
ganization will retain its individ-
ual organization, the national
federation being pledged not to
absorb the growers Of the various
states. The national federation,
however, will centralize the activi-
ties Of the various state societies
and would handle all details OF ex-
porting grain and finding foreign
markets for the wheat growers by
the members Of tue society,
In addition, the national fedora
tion would supervise the work OF
securing funds for the various
state organization members, would
maintain statistical department,

available to all members, and
would work out a coordinate sys-
TEN for grain marketing the

Association Also Fights
Proposed Bonding of

an invitation to speakers from the

relative to the Shrine convention
to be held In n.washington next June.

After discussion. the association
opposed the plan to compel automo-
bile drivers to give a bond of $4,000
before being permitted to drive In

District Commissioners.
Upon reading of communica-
tion from the Masonic headquar-
ters. requesting permission to send
speakers to the associations next
members, at least half a dozen
members rose in protest. This is
a civic organization and there Is
no need for any fraternal order
to ask us to assist them" was the
argument of those opposing the re-
quest.
Opponents Win by 3 Votes.
They were Immediately answered
by others who declared that de-
spite the civic nature of the or
ganization there were no reasons
why the request should not be
treated with courtesy and the order
Permitted to send speakers. By
majority of three votes. the re-
quest was refused
