place from which Phillips did not

Cigarettes To
Be Unrutioned

The shortage of cigarettes expe-
rienced throughout the country re-
fleets the bad distribution due to
war time conditions and the fact
that the armed forces are now
smoking a fourth Of the country's
total production, but no rationlng
OF them is contemplated, the Office
of Price Administration states. The
War Food Administration reports
that the number of cigarettes be-
ing manufactured for civilian and
soldier consumption is the greatest
in the history OF the tobacco indus
try. Only negligible amount Of
taxfree cigarettes is sent abroad
for consumption other than by our
armed forces. Black market oper-
atoms and boarding are also be-
lieved to be factors contributing to
the spotty distribution and civilian
shortages.

Soys Christmas
Tree Supply Ample

The supply of Christmas trees in
1914 will probably be ample to sat
isfy holiday needs of Americans
according to data given the Office
of War Information by, the War
Production Board, Department of
Agriculture and Office of Defense
Transportation. At the same time,
however, buyers are warned against
"over-zealous buying" as that might
create an artificial shortage fol-
lowed by waste of trees. In 1913
consumer anxiety about the family
tree, which began with slow de-
liveries to retailers, led to high
prices followed by glut of trees
near Christmas time. Many surplus
trees sold for practically nothing on
Christmas Eve and q sizeable left
over had to be destroyed. The 1914
supply should be about that Of last
year.

It is understood that a delegate

Three Boys Cought
Stealing Cos

On his way home Sunday night
Bob Baker had difficulty driving
up steep hill because of the newly
fallen snow. Leaving the truck at
the bottom of the hill, he returned
to town for help and while in the
city told some boys what he was in
town for Afterwards when Baker
and his son Jesse returned to the
truck they saw car parked not
far away and also noticed tracks
going to and from the truck.
Becoming suspicious Baker told
Jess to 60 on home while he would
sit in the truck to see what would
happen. In about Is or 20 minutes a
boy about is years old approached
the truck. Just then Baker step
ped out of the truck and stopped
the boy. 1t turned out there were
other boys with him but in the back
ground, probably on watch for APP
preaching cars.
Baker put the run" on the boys
but knowing all three of them, he
reported the incident to the police
The parents are all respectable cit
liens and the boys promised that
they would never commit a similar
or any other theft, and on paying
Baker for the gas he lost, the
boys were released but the sherrif's
office and city police will be on the
watch if the boys are again caught
they will have to stand trial IN
juvenile court.
Baker is wondering and says,
Did / do right or should | have
sworn out complaint and put those
boys in with a lot of criminals,
brought grief and disgrace to their
parents, or will this be lesson to
the boys and help to make men If
them?"

ALLEN COUNTY
Jury Awards S7,O98

A verdit in favor of the plaintiff
was returned by jury in the Allen
county common pleas court in the
case of Harvey Kessler against the
Union Service Corp.
The jury ruled that contract en-
tered into by the two parties in 1881
remained in effect until Kessler left
the company employment in 1888.
The ruling upheld Kessler's claim
for S7,09s in salary and interest he
held was due him from the corpora
ton for the 10-year period between
1888 and 1943.
Kessler testified that the company
had withheld SO per week from his
salary for the 10 years and he was
given to understand this sum was
being held and would be paid him
'1ater". However, he said he never
received an accumulated sum.
The defense held that the firm
terminated the salary portion of
Kessler's contract in 1888 when it
"cut" his salary SO per week with
out agreeing to pay this later. Kess-
Ter was manager of the Firms Lima
plant during the period in question.
