BANKER SEEKS SEIZED LIBERTY BONDS'RETURN Head of Defunct Farmers’ Trust Asks Mandate of Receiver. Two witnesses were called today In the first round of the fight of Charles N. Williams, president of the defunct Farmers' Trust Company to force B. M. Ralston, the receiver, to return liberty bonds valued at $25,000. Williams alleged in his suit today that the liberty bonds, used by the bank as surety for the deposit of Marion county government funds, are his property and not that of the bank. He alleged that he merely had loaned the bonds to the institution and introduced an agreement between him and the bank to this effect, which was signed by C. A. Flock, the vice-president. Dunn Certifies Total Harry Dunn, county auditor, testified that a total of $40,000 in liberty bonds was deposited by the Farmers bank in the Indiana National bank, to be held in escrow as surety for the county’s deposit. Maximum to be deposited in the Farmers bank was placed at SBO,OOO by the county finance board, and $39,677.21 was on deposit when the bank closed, Dunn said. Williams’ suit alleged that on Jan. 23, 1931, he loaned the Liberty bonds to the bank to be used in the manner stated above and that without his "knowledge or consent” these and an additional $15,000 of Liberty bonds were placed in escrow with the other bank. Seeks Court Order He asks that Ralston be ordered by the court to take $25,000 from the cash on hand in the closed institution and buy replacement bonds these to be returned to him. Or, he asks, that the bank pay back to the county the money on deposit, thus releasing his bonds for return, or that he be paid in cash the equivalent of the value of the bonds. Ralston counters with the statement that Williams is not a special claim, but that he only is a general creditor and that for this reason, he should take his chances with the other depositor. Henry Dowling and Henry Hornbrook appeared for Williams; and H. Nathan Swaim for Ralston. CLUBS TO SEEK CURB FOR TRUCKS, BUSSES North Side Group Votes to Carry Fight to Legislature.

URGES G. OF ,C TO GET BEHIND TRUCKPETITION Support for Store Door Delivery Service Plan Is Requested. Support of Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce for motor truck store door delivery service in Indiana was sought in a resolution presented today to the chamber's freight and traffic committee by Bert O'Leary, traffic manager of Kiefer-Stewart Company. O'Leary is a member of the chamber's freight and traffic committee. Such service is a vital need of the Indianapolis shipper and Indiana merchant, who are suffering from competition with firms in bordering states which allow store door delivery, O’Leary contended. He pointed out to the committee that the 1925 Indiana legislature enacted a law "which had as its purpose the provision of dependability and responsibility for such service,” and added that only a small per cent of motor trucks serving Indianapolis shippers had been brought under that'law. One member of the public service commission recently turned against a petition of the Store Door Delivery, Inc., of which Tom Snyder, head of a trucking firm, is president, to begin service, but the commission as a whole has not acted on the request. O’Leary’s resolution asked investigation of causes that have deprived local shippers and merchants of the benefits of the 1925 law. and further asked an analysis of the disadvantage to the shippers and merchants of meeting bordering state competition. Any recommendation the traffic committee might make probably would not be acted on i ntil the next session of directors of the Chamber of Commerce later this month.

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home

For toughs due to colds, the best remedy that money could buy can easily mixed at homo. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-act-ing medicine you ever used. The way it takes hold of stubborn coughs, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any druggist can supply you with 2 V2 ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It’s no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of severe coughs and bronchial irritations. Do not aacept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.
