SEEKS $10,000 DAMAGES - James Breeden of Woodstock fillSfl a suit for damages in the amount of $10,000 Friday against Joseph and William Brandlin in connection with an accident which took place September 17, 1939, on South street between Madison and Jefferson streets in Woodstock. The plaintiff charges that William Brandlin was driving a car owned by Joseph Brandlin on the date in question and that on this date the plaintiff was crossing South street when he was struck by the Brandlin car As the result the plaintiff alleges he received five broken ribs and other stock and Gordon Schwemm of Crys- serious injuries about the body. ita. LT aaVkAe against the TTKhiiKbAo^dAefaluii MMnoftrotrt * Express company of Chicago. A mixed jury in this case returned a verdict of $100 damages in favor of Thurow and $460 in favor of Schwemm. Bruce Paffchin of Chicago, counsel for the defense, moved for a new trial after the verdict was returned and the court granted the motion Friday. At the start of the trial Attorney Farkhill filed an affidavit asking for a continuance on the grounds that one of his main witnesses who had taken a statement in the case prior to the trial was unable to be present due to being in California. Judge Pierce ruled that the affidavit was insufficient at the time and overruled the motion for a continuance and ordered the trial to proceed. ' Friday in rendering his decision for a new trial the court said that as the trial progressed he became aware that the evidence of the missing witness^ ivas very important and for that reason he wa5 granting a new trial so in the next trial this witness can be present. Good Place to live K is decisions such as rendered by the two judges from this district that ma&es this country such a good place to live in. The court are places were people are expected to be given a fair trial. Both courts in these two cases decided after the trials were over that the defendants in both cases had not been given their just rights and without hesitation handed down decisions granting new trials although in both cases they reversed their own rulings.

On Friday of last week, the appellate court at Ottawa, rendered a lengthy opinion, in which they affirmed a decision rendered in Woodstock circuit court by Judge William L. Pierce of Belvidere, on the 25th day of October, 1938, the case being that of Daisy E. Davis vs. S. T. Oliver, deputy receiver of the United State Bank of Crystal Lake, Hie State Bank of Woodstock, as Trustee, and other defendants. The case was originally a foreclosure proceeding brought in circuit court by the late Lynn Richards as trustee, and the case just finished at Ottawa involved the title to certain lots in a subdivision known as Riverside Park, situated on the west bank of Fox river near Button's Bridge in the township of Nunda, which lots were formerly owned by John W. and Daisy E. Davis, but later by them conveyed to The State Bank of Woodstock, as trustee, in order that said bank might sell the lots and apply the proceeds on a large amount of indebtedness then owed by Mr. and Mrs. Davis. JANUARY MILK FRIGE VP III - CHICAGO AREA RECEIVE 2 CENTS MQ&E T PER HUNDRED N. J. Cladakis, federal market administrator, announced Monday that the dairy farmers in the Chicago milk shed are to get a blended price of $1.77 a hundred pounds (3.8 cents a quart) for milk delivered in January. This is an increase of two cents a hundred over the blended price for December, resulting mainly from an increase in sales of class 1 (fluid) milk, which brings a premium over other classes. Officers elected for District 5 of the Pure Milk association at a meeting held at Poplar Grove last Friday include Richard Hutchinson, president; Robert Mclntyre, vice-president and Julian Larson, secretary and treasurer. Seeks Base, Surplus Plan Representatives of the Pure Milk may ask Henry Wallace, secretary of agriculture, to include some sort of a base and surplus plan in the Chicago federal milk order, but will favor such a plan onlyrif it is made to apply to all farmers producing milk for the Chicago area according to a statement made by Arthur H. Lauterbach, manager of the PMA, at the annual meeting. The association will not press for such a plan unless producers show that they are not voluntarily regulating production, he said. His promise that the bases system, if brought back, would not apply to the PMA alone, as it did before September 1 last year, met with approval of the member* ship. A hearing on the federal order is expected during March. Back Federal Order Declaring his approval of the federal order, Lauterbach said: "It's too bad that the milk business has to be tied up with the political situation in this country. Some people are calling the order New Deal and un-American, Nazi, and the like." He cited the success of the order in other cities where it has been longer in operation. R. P. Alexander cited that "rumors are going around that the Pure Milk association is in poor financial shape." and in refutation gave figures showing that it has a net worth of $404,000. The sheriff isn't after as," he said. Alexander is comptroller of the association.

Buv vour Baby Chicks at the Farmers Mill. t)»e Home of Good Chicks According to the state truck regulatory law, all trades will be required to carry stickers proving that they have passed semi-annual safety inspection tests; they also must carry $5,000 and $10,000 worth of public liability and $5,000 worth of property damage insurance. This law will go into effect March 1. The new law is similar to lavriTin force in other states. Its purpose is to reduce dangers and hazards of every day driving by insisting that trucks be properly equipped and Covered with liability insurance to •neet liabilities that may rise through accideRts and fatalities. As stated in the new law, a truck is any machine from a truck as we visualize it, to a private passenger car used to carry merchandise, and a highway upon which these trucks must be licensed to operate is not limited to concrete roads between towns, but streets and even alleys within towns.

Lewis reported last Thursday. The figure was $607,000 higher than the previous record of $8,225,036 in January, 1939, and reflected a business turnover last Dei-ember in, Illinois of more than seven per cent above that of December. 1988. The January sales tax receipts are on December retail transactions. State treasury receipts last month were $25,359,168, compared with disbursements of $21,999,422. The favorable appearance of the comparison, however, Lewis said, was due in a large measure to seasonal income item's n*»t consistently reflected in monthly renorts throughout the year. The general fund has been used to supply deficiencies in relief funds since the legislature at its last session authorised expenditure of money for relief at a rate of $4,000,000 a month. Previously the rate had been $3,000,000 monthly. The one-third of the sales tax which has been diverted directly to relief has been insufficient to supply relief needs. Major disbursement items last month included $4,000,000 to the unemployment compensation account, $3,980, 955 for emergency relief, $2,- 857,683 for old age assistance, and $1,249,017 for common schools of the state.

Senator Tobey (Rep., N. H.), and other critics have urgeid elimination of many of the questions. "No person," the President said, "can be harmed in any way by furnishing the information required. The census has nothing to do with taxation, with military or jury service, with the compulsion of school attendance. With the regulation of immigration. or with the enforcement of anv national, state, or local law, or ordinance.
