would tackle Benny for his crown

better that the two part.
Then Benjamin fell in with Demp-

He kept on fighting, but not too
often, since strict training was not
suited to his temperament, which is
sunny, genial and carefree.
In appearance he is one of the Car

The writer sees no reason why he
should not realize his ambition-if he
will seriously work for it.

Maine Farmer Sign
Now AdOrns Outside
Historic Manley Barn

Years ago the owners Of the Maine
Farmer. we'll known State agricultural
newspaper which discontinued publica-
tion the latter part of July after life
Of SO years. had a sign made. This
sign was q large reproduction Of the
papers heading and adorned the pub
licAtion's office.
When the Gannett interests discon-
tinued the Farmer. they presented this
sign to Samuel C. Manley. whose faith
GRAND grandfather. as we'll as himself,
were at various times part owners Of
the publication. The Manleys were as
ISOLATED with the Maine Farmer from
1858 until 1911.
Mr.. Manley has had the sign hung
on the front wall of the Manley barn
built by Joseph H. Manley in 1897.
which barn is on the exact spot where
the Rev Daniel Stone built his barn in
1877. At that time the Rev. Stone
owned all the land from the Range
way Pine" on the Cony road to the
Kennebec River.
When this old structure was taken
down in 1897, Mr.. Manley took large
beam from it and built into the new
barn; an appropriate inscription was
cut in the beam. 1t seems most ap-
propriate that the Maine Farmer sign,
thu appearance of which has been
known to farmers Of Maine for nearly
a century. should find a final resting
place in such historic surroundings,
and in a building owned by the family
80 long connected with the publication.

AUTO DEALER
GIVEN DIRECTED
VERDICT IN SUIT

(. A verdict for the defense was d.
rected Saturday afternoon at the
Kennebec county superior court py
Judge William H. Fisher in the case
of Ernest Cote of Augusta vs.. CHI
ton r. Shaw of Augusta. In THIS
action Cote claimed that he had pur-
chased a Willys-Knight automo oiie
from the defendant and that the
car which he had received was not
in proper condition. He also claimed
that he had contracted for car OF
1925 model and manufacture ana
that the one he had received was
manufactured in 1924.
Cote testified that he had signed
the order for the car in February,
1925. about ten o'clock one evening
and had taken the 1850 train from
this city the same evening to 80 to
Boston to get the car In question:
He had driven 1t over the ROAD TO
Augusta, being held up near bow
doinham for few hours when the
car became stuck in snowdrift.
On the trip to Augusta the car nao
developed considerable noise IN the
rear axle and as q result OF this
noise he had spoken to Shaw and de-
clared that he did not think the axle
was in good condition. Shaw had
told him to bring 1t to the garage
and he would see that 1t was f1xed.
It had been necessary to take the
car to the garage on three occasions
for the same trouble and Shaw had
finally said that he would put in a
complete new axle assembly, minus
tires and wheels. The plaintiff had
left the car which he had received
from Shaw, at the Shaw garage, and
had asked for his money and for
two automobiles which he had
turned in toward the new one, but
had received neither the cars or the
money.
Earl Packard, a mechanic at the
Shaw garage at the time the car
was brought in by the plaintiff, tes-
titled as to the mechanical defects
he found in the rear axle Of the au-
tomobile, but upon cross-examtna-
ton 1t developed that the complete
rear axle assembly had arrived for
the car within three months of the
time 1t was purchased.
Upon conclusion of the testimony
by the plaintiff Attorney B. F. Ma
her appearing with Attorney Bur-
leigh Martin for the defense, asked
for directed verdict, on the grounds
that the allegations of misrepresen-
tation had not been proved. and that
the defendant had shown a desire at
all times to place the automobile in
f1rst-class condition. The motion
was granted. Attorney Herbert
Locke appeared for the plaintiff.
