For rester A: Company, of Walnut grove, a few years ago gave the Logan viile Banking Company promissory notes for loans total ing $7,000, from which interest at S per cent had been deducted, the notes being secured by a deed to 277> acres of land. In March, 1011, the Messrs. Forrester and R. A. Forrester & Co. filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, a homestead was set aside, and tlie claim was made that the deed given the. banking company was void, in that usry was practiced in the collection of S per cent in terest in advance. In other words, the Messrs.

The merchant who wishes to reach 10 000 waste baskets into which his advertisiiiv circulars fall must pay some one . for their writing, printing ai d posting, and as the New York Herald—one of the ablest ex ponents of business principles in the country- says: “The waste basket cannot read circulars and is unable to buy any of the things that they seem to exploit.” Our esteemed contemporary is sur prised to know that men of sup posed commercial acumen spend large sums each year in the fu tile effort to convert the waste baskets of the country into cus tomers, while neglecting the ad vertising columns of publications j that are not thrown into the waste baskets. —Leslie’s.
