NV COURT
HANDS DOWN
-FOUR RESCRIPTS

: Four rescripts were handed down
by the law court Friday. two from
Cumberland county and one each
from the counties Of Aroostook and
Androscosgfn.<
Andreseossin Case
In the Androscoggin County. Case
OF the Empire Cream Separator Com
pany VI. George H. Curtis. the mo-
ton Of the plaintiff 10 overruled.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice Luere B. Deasy Of
Bar Harbor. is as follows,
The plaintiff corporation contends
that certain farm machinery shipped
to the defendant was sold to him I'M
condftionally. There was evidence,
however. tending to show a condi-
tiOnal sale and other evidence tend :.
ing to prove q CONSIGNMENT of the
machinery to be sold by the defend
ant on commission.
The jury were justified in finding
either theory to be the true one. the
order. given being consistent with
either.
The jury found for the platAtin for
the price Of machinery actually sold
and not for that unsold.
The verdict must be sustained.
Motion ovverruled.
Judgment for state
In the Cumberland County case of
State Of Maine Us. Robert Rogers,
the exceptions OF the respondent are
overruled.
The rescript per curtain is as fol-
lows:
Indictment for adultery. The res
pendent excerpts to the ruling of the
Court denying his motion for a d.
rected verdict.
The respondent and the wife of the
complaining witness were found to-
gether in a bed room under circum-
stances which. un- explained, were
SUFFICIENT to justify the jurys verdict
Of guilty.
The explanation offered is up-
reasonable and incredible.
Exceptions overruied.
Judgement for Respondent
Judgement for the respondent is
given in the Cumberland County
case. State Of Maine VS.. Eastern
Steamship Lines Inc.
The rescript. which was drawn by
Associate Justice 'Luers b. Deasy of
Bar Harbor. Is as follows:
1t appeared that men employed
upon ship as oilers had used the
| ship as place In which to conceal.
and from which to sell and deliver
intoxicating liquor. the ship was a
nuisance as defined by statute.
But an owner OF a vessel or build
| Ing used as nuisance, though he
be In possession does not keep and
maintain the nuisance and is not
criminally liable unless he himself
used the property for the illegal
| keeping or sale of intoxicants. or un-
less he knowingly permits such use
, OF his property to be made.
II the respondents responsible
| agents knowing that the ship was
being used in violation OF law, had
acduiesced in such use; If they had
INSTRUCTED the enforcement officers
or failed to render them assistance
when requested. or if knowing the
guilty parties. had continued to en-
ploy them. in either of such cases
permission might we'll be implied.
But in the case at bar no conduct
Of this kind appears. No express or
implied permission is shown.
The fact that the oilers were en-
ployees of the respondent does not
change the situation. They were
employed to handle oil, not alcohol.

Sugar cane was first grown in the

manufactured in this country. Until
that time the most of the strip OF

In the United States the first beet
sugar was made in 1880. but not un-

Talk Of racial superiority and

What mistaken people call
racial superiority applies to a
race that has had superior oppor-

in a climate more stimulating to

what misguided people call racial

solution of the farm problem
must come from movements such
as the association. rather than
from legislation.
To give the association an OPP
pOrtunity TO expand its opera
tons and meet the constantly
growing demands upon it, new
articles of incorporation, under
the new Standard cooperative
marketing law were adopted.
This Will enable the organization
to increase its capital stock. An
illustration of the need for this
REIMBURSEMENT is found in the fact
that while the association has a
capital of only S51. 600, its daily
turn over now is frequently
100000.
All members of the board of
directors were reelected, as were
members Of the administrative
committee. Mr.. Brandt will
continue as president, Henry
Arens of Jordan, first vice presi-
dent; A. l. Veigel of Mankato,
second vice president; H. b.
Nickerson of Elk River, secre-
tary; Isaac Emerson of Skyberg,
treasurer.
The Assn now has a men,
bership of $50 and the number
of creameries that have signed

Is growing constantly. The
membership increased AZ last
year. The net cost Of the associ-
alton last year was less than one
pound of butter fat per creamery
patron and for every dollar
spent, three were returned 10 the
