Horback Fined for
Assault and Battery

Emilian Horback was sentenced
to pay a fine Of $40 and costs Of
$17.27 by Judge Atchley yesterday
morning for assault and battery on
Joseph Mantush. The fine was re-
mitted on payment of costs. Mike
Wolchoc was tried on the same
charge as Horback but his case was
dismissed for lack of evidence. Hor-
back pleaded nolo. All of the par
ties concerned are residents of Wa
terville or Winslow. Burleigh Mar
tin of Augusta represented Mantush
and Harold Weeks of Fairfield rep
resented Wolchoc. Horback had no
lawyer and did not testify in his
own behalf.
Emilia Sivinskz. Str nley Washuk.
and Mike Rustz testified for the
complainant. and Nantush also tes-
tilted.
From the stories told by the wit
nesses with the help Of two inter-
prefers it seems that Mantush went
calling last Sunday night at the.
homes of two of his friends. At
both places according to his story
he was assaulted by Horback. He
showed marks on his throat that he
claims were made by Horback. All
of the witnesses seemed to agree
that Mantush and Horback had
fought and it appeared that Horback
had started the encounters.
On Horback's plea of nolo con-
tendere Judge Atchely gave him the
alternative of paying the costs or 60
ing to Jail. The judge spoke briefly
to all concerned in the case saying
that there was too much trouble
he ordered everyone to leave Man.
tush alone In the future. He told
Mantush not to stir up any trouble
as he had been before the court in
the past.

suit. however, only Sis was available
in cash as a fund from which interest
could be paid on the investment in
farm land. The balance. 1927. was
represented by new machinery and
tools and stock purchased during the
year out of current expenses. This is
written off as net since it represents
an increase in investment.
The balance sheet shows that had a
fair salary been charged off by the
farmer for his work as manager, the
account would have shown a deficit
during the year. There was no method,
however, by which a determination
could be made of a fair salary nor for
the value of food and shelter Of the far
mer and his family. In this respect,
therefore. the picture presented is not
an absolutely accurate balance sheet of
the financial success or failure Of the
average farm.
More than 10000 farmers sent replies
to the Agriculture departments ques-
tionnaire on their finances. Only about
half. however. sent replies in such
shape that they could be tabulated and

DECISION IN CASE
0'lIMb0-STANH0PE

The decision in the case of Joseph
OLimbo against Harry Stanhope.
tried in the municipal court this
morning was reserved by Judge
Atchley until later in the term. The
amount sued for by Mr.. O'LimbO was
SO, for work that he had done for Mr..
Stanhope. cleaning and mendihg a
pair of pants. Mr.. Stanhope claimed
that the charge was excessive and
should have been about SIPS. Several
witnesses were introduced. Carl
ent and Lewis Levine the plaintiff.
There was another suit scheduled
for yesterday morning, Whitcomb
and Stanhope VS.. Joseph O'Limbo.
Whitcomb and Stanhope were suing
Mr.. O'Limbo for a 22-inch piece of
stovepipe that was. put in his tailor
shop several months ago. This case
was defaulted.
Mr.. O'Limbo testified first that he
conducted a tailor shop on Main
street and that he had done bust
ness off and on for several years. In
describing the work done on the par
!. ticular pair of trousers that Mr..
Stanhope had refused to pay full
amount for, Mr.. O'Limbo said that he
French cleaned them, fixed three
pOCkctS, put III d lIcW Scdl, uAcu tIlc
bottoms of the legs and darned sew
eral holes. He said that Mr.. STAN
hope had put in a peice of stove pipe
for him and then later had come to
collect the bill. He told Mr.. Stan
hope to pay him and he would pay
Mr.. Stanhope.
In the cross examination Mr.. o.
Limbo declared that he had fixed
trousers for Mr.. Stanhope before and
that was the regular price.
Bertha Mclaughlin of Fairfield
testified that she had worked for Mr..
O'Limbo for several months. She re-
membered that Mr.. O'Limbo had told
Mr.. Stanhope that he would pay him
if Mr.. Stanhope would pay Mr.. o.
Limbo.
Mr.. Stanhope testified that he had
dealings with Mr.. O'Limbo and that
Mr.. O'Limbo had often done tailor
work for him. He never charged Mr..
Stanhope over $1.20 before for such
a job. He had never received a bill.
In the cross examination he declar-
ed that the only work done on the
trousers was to patch the seat and
French clean them.
Gene Emery testified that he had
been a tailor in the city for Is years.
The average charge of tailors in this
city is IS cents for reseating trousers,
and IS cents for cleaning and press
ing. He had no idea concerning
French cleaning, and the charge for
such work.
No further testimony was introduce

Washington. May 9.-The average
farmer throughout the United States
is now able to credit himself with a re-
turn Of 500 per cent OH the money
which he invested in his property pro-
vided he writes off no salary for his
own work as owner-manager. His net
result for managing and working his
farm in 1922 was S1042 plus food and
shelter for his family.
These facts are derived from sur
vey of the balance sheets of 6094 farms
throughout the United States just COM
pleted by the Department of Agricul-
ture. At least one farm was represent
ed in the survey in every county in
which farming is carried on. The de-
partment's survey is in the form of an
average of the balance sheets received.
The average is represented by farm
of 252 acres in the official report. The
average investment in real property
was found to be $13.5S6 at the begin
ming of the year. Receipts averaged
S1972 and operating expenses $3.50.
