Supreme Court Deals Hard Blow to Violators of -Trust Law.

The 1 supreme court of the United States has decided that a conspiracy under the Sherman anti-trust law is a continuing offense. The trust attorneys had contended that the offehse was limited simply to. the formation of the conspiracy and that after the conspiracy was formed it was not an offense to operate under it. Had the opinion of- the trust lawyers been maintained it would have meant that there was a violation of the law when a conspiracy was formed, but that would be the offense, and after the organization was effected there was no further violation and the companies could continiie in business and maintain the trust which was in the first place illegally formed. Thf action of the supreme court will go a long way toward dispelling any doubt as to the success'of the Sherman anti-trust law in breaking up illegal trusts. The case decided charged Gustave E. Kissell, of New York, and Thos. E. Harned, of Philadelphia, with having conspired with the American Sugar Refining company to put the Pennsylvania sugar refining company out of business. It is thought the government will have clean sailing in the future in its prosecution of trusts. President Taft’s statement in his message that we do not need more trust laws, seems to be right. What we need is greater haste in the courts in the matter of punishing violators. And the government is after many of the big trusts with a sharp stick.

Put a Return Card on the’ Package of Christmas Presents.

If every person would place their 014® name and address plainly written or printed on the upper left hand corner of all letters and packages mailed through the postoffice they would be sure of one of two things. The letter or package would either reach Its destination and be delivered to the person it was intended for or would be returned to the person that* had sent it. The postoffice department at Washington opened its annual dead letter auction Monday. There were 7,500 packages, of which 1,222 contained books and 455 contained jewelry. Because they were not addressed in a manner that permitted of their delivery and could not be returned because the person sending them had not placed their name on the package, these packages were left as “dead” matter and the government sold them “without sight and unseen” to the highest bidders. About $12,000 was realized to the government, which is a smalLpart of the expense of maintaining the dead letter department of thfe U. S. mail service. Let all Jasper couAty people exer.cise great care in this matter. When’ you send your Christmas packages, either by mail or express, place your name and address on it. Then it will either reach the person for whom intended or* will be returned to you. Thousands of dollars worth of property is lost in this manner through the express companies each year.

5,000 Partridges to Be Turned Loose in State of Indiana.

George W. Miles, state fish and game commissioner, will this week receive a shipment of 2,500 pairs of Hungarian partridges for distribution throughout the state. Places have been selected for the entire number. The birds will come from Yardley, Pa., where the former birds released in the state were obtained. consignment will make approximately 6,500 pairs of the partridge released in the state. Under the present law, one-third of the money received from the sale of hunters’ licenses must be used in restocking the game fields of the state. Mr. Miles will seek to have the law amended so that the expenditure of the money will be left to the discretion of the commissioner.

A dispatch from Fort Wayne says:

“Fifty-three members of the Hay and Grain Producers’ and Shippers’ Association of Northeastern Indiana were made defendants in a suit instituted in the circuit court here today by Attorney General James Binghata, in which it is alleged that the association is an organization in restraint of trade, in that it fixes prices and destroys competition. “A restraining order was issued by Judge O’Rourke prohibiting the officers of the association from sending out the daily price lists and continuing any other work of the organization. Dec. 27 was fixed as the date for a hearing on the plea for a temporary injunction.”

Kentland Young Man Makes Remarkable Record in Corn Field.

Kentland Enterprise. A new corn husking record is made every year. Twenty years ago 60 and 70 bushels was a big day’s workrCdrn husking became a science, and today there are many of the young men around here who average from 100 to 140 bushels a day for the entire season. But Carl Bader, of Harrison, Ohio, who husked corn the past season for Mundy, west of town, has set a new mark that will keep the boys humping to reach. ' Tuesday, Nov. 22nd, he husked the enormous amount of bushels in 9 hours and 45 minutes. He remained in the field all the time, and stopped three times to eat, at 10, 12:30 and 3 o’clock, taking 15 minutes for each meal. The empty wagons were brought to him and the loaded ones taken away. The corn in the field averaged about 50 bushels to the- acre, and it is said that Bader husked the corn cleaner than the average husker, .picking “nubbins” and all. He rested the next fore nOon, but went out in the afternoon and picked 50 bushel^. It can be easily figured out about how many ears of corn the man handled that day, as the average num- ‘ - - of ears to bushel is about 100. Mr. Bader is a young man about 27 years of age and is over six feet tall, weighing in the neighborhood of 185 pounds.
