TRYING NOT ENOUGH
Real Estate Agent Must Sell to
Get Commission.

Judge Kelly, in the district court
yesterday, handed down decision in
which he held that a real estate broker
cannot recover commission for mere
ly trying to SELF land which has been
placed in his hands for disposal. The
land must be sold before the broker is
entitled to recover commission.
The decision was on a demurrer in the
case of the Sherburne Land company
against L. E. Sells, suit having been
brought for a commission Of 50 per
acre on $50 acres of land in Polk coun-
ty, which the plaintiff never succeeded
In disposing of. The defendant decided
to try to sell his farm and listed it
with the plaintiff company for a period
of four months, from Jan. to May i,
1903.
The plaintiff contended that it ex-
pended money in advertising the land
for sale and should be entitled to it's
commission, but the defendant de-
INJURED to the complaint as not setting
forth a cause for action. Judge Kelly, in
sustaining the demurrer, says in his
memorandum:
From it's face the contract was pre-
pared by the plaintiff. 1t is printed in
modest type, on one side of a card
board, resembling in shape a postal
card. The complaint does not say that
plaintiff sold the land or could have
sold it, but for defendants conduct, nor
that it found a purchaser ready, will
ing and able to buy, who was rejected
by defendant. The sole cause of action
is that the plaintiff tried to sell the
land. The question is, does this en-
title the plaintiff to commission just
as though it had effected a sale.
'"The plaintiff claims that the words
-'or otherwise perform your part Of
the greement'-entitles it to 1920 for
trying to sell land. If this be true, the
agreement is strangely silent as to
what efforts plaintiff must make to
perform on it's part. AffiXing a sign
board with for sale upon the land is a
common method employed in trying to
sell land
$50 is an advertisement kept in an
newspaper for a time. Both of these
are inexpensive. Can it be that sane
man would promise to pay $500 for
such services? In its last analysis,
plaintiffs contention leads to just such
absurdity.
This is merely an agreement con-
shutting the plaintiff an agent of de-
PENDANT for definite time to sell or
find a purchaser for certain lands upon
certain terms and promising when
plaintiff sells the land or finds a pur-
chaser to pay a commission of 50 an
acre.
IF the words-'or otherwise perform
your part of this agreement'-ar am
biguous, they are to be construed
against the party proposing them, the
plaintiff.
mo ordinary layman would believe
on signing this paper that he was
obliged to pay commission, sale or no
sale. And If the defendant is held it
will be by a trick in words, which
should never be tolerated in the admin
istration of Justice"

WIN BORROW the Money.

AS soon as the money is secured by
borrowing it from one of the local
banks on a promise by the council to
insert the amount in the next budget,
DR.. Ohage will place contracts for the
complete remodeling of the present
hospital and the building of another
cottage, which will make three in all.
A barn is also to be included. A heat
ing and lighting plant and a sanitary
system of plumbing will be installed.
Will Accommodate Seventy.
The enlarged hospital, DR.. Ohage
says, will accommodate about seventy
patients. DR.. Ohage informed the
committee that, while handsome de-
tention hospital would be nice thing,
yet he did not believe tying UP lot
of money in a building that at any
time might be idle for the want OF
patients. The cost of maintenance
would also be heavy.
A meeting of the members of the
council, including the Commercial
club committee, will be held next
Wednesday and the matter of raising
the money will then be arranged. 1t
is to be borrowed and the budget made
to care for its return. This is being
done in order to get the buildings fin
ished at once, as there may be rush
of patients at any time.

An Example In seIf-controI.

Having given city daily some ideas
on the cost of mistakes, from which
reporter made halfpage article,
offered to give another daily newspa-
per In the same town some other ideas
on the same subject
The editor met my offer with skep-
ticism. cynicism and ill-will. My eyes
began to open and | was Just on the
point of offering the editor a deflni-
ton of his manners when I recalled
the belief for my private benefit that
1t is better for both to overcome evil
with good than for me to be party
to a bi-blunder. The one who gets
angry generally gets left. l declared
my earnestness aud insisted that my
subjects were mutually useful.
Then the editor called a skillful
writer, was introduced, an appoint
ment made, the interview given and a
very readable column prepared.
One of the best papers In New York
City reprinted the article and gem
eral passenger agent of a Western
railroad reprinted 1t for his employees.
Many OF my friends spoke about being
interested in 1t.
Newspapers here and there are re-
printing that article and individuals
are borrowing my copy to read. That
skillful writer clothed my ideas better
than | was able TO and | was in
structed on my own subject by read
ing my own ideas presented to the
public by the man whom the editor
called.
Is not all this better than criticising
a critic and leaving him in mutually
ugly manner? think it is because
believe in leaving people in a way to
go back to them without any hesitancy
any time wish to do so.

rms AnaeI Wilma Hat Girl.

We had picture frame which con-
tained a picture we did not admire,
though when purchased 1t 1t was
my choice of many. Sometimes pic
lures do not wear well. the same as
an ornament which you may have ad-
mired at first but soon tire of. In
selecting another picture for this
frame, a rural scene with many peo-
pie in 1t was chosen. One of the first
remarks of an observer was regarding
the hat of little girl which hung
down her back in way to resemble
an angels wing. The artist may not
have intended any such resemblance.

1t before l noticed 1t. When-you see
something useful or interesting and
new to you. please call my attention

Best wav to Find rrutb.

Babies are cared for in many cases
Just as well as the mother Knows how
to, yet in these very cases the babies
often suffer much. What should be
done? Good books on baby science
reach a few. Scattered articles in
periodicals reach many more. All
who read do not apply because they
do not see the practical side. Some
never think of putting into practice
the useful things found while reading.
Here Is one plan: First. want to
know more. Study self. study baby.
study baby's nest. clothes and sur
roundings. Do not experiment much.
but fall in love with taking better
care of baby" Tho next friend you
meet may know something of great
use to you and baby. but you do not
know what that information is; neith-
er does your friend. The only way
to find unknown useful truth is to ask
questions and exchange valuable
knowledge at every opportunity with

BOTH FEEL
What Proper Food Does for Both

Physical health, mental health. In
deed almost everything good on this
earth depend in great measure upon
proper food
Without health nothing is worth
while and health can be won almost
every time by proper feeding on the
scientific food Grape-Nuts.
A California trained nurse proved
this: Three years ago | was taken
very sick. my work as trained nurse
having worn me out both in body and
mind, and medicine failed to relieve
me at all. After seeing a number of
physicians and specialists and getting
no relief | was very much discouraged
and felt that l would die of general
nervous and physical collapse.
MY condition was so bad / never
imagined food would help me but on
the advice of friend tried Grape
Nuts. TIE first package brought me
so much relief that l quit the medi-
cines and used Grape Nuts steadily
three times a day. The result was
that within months | had so COM
pletely regained my strength and
health that | was back nursing again

why the sisters chanqed Seats.

Miss Little and her big sister and
their mother were near me at recent
evening service.
The speakers voice was not at its
best and his subject was heavy. Soon
Miss Little's head fell into her sisters
lap.
But the youthful brain rested about
as easily as the head that wears a
crown.
In few minutes Miss Little coaxed
her sister to change chairs with her
SO she could sit next to her mother.
Then the little brain found rest and
peace. and | caught an element of pop
ularity. and began analyzing condi-
tions.
The big sister was tall and slim and
had on no wrap, and she was more in
terested In the program than in Miss
Little's personal comforts.
The mother was large and heshy
and had on fur coat, and she knew
that the tired head would have been
better off In bed than there, but the
next thing to bed for Miss Little
was to be within the arm and against
the heart of her best friend.
Popularity is due to reputation,
physical stability and warmth, and an
interest in the personal comforts of
others. l know of elderly people near
whom | study to be, at every oppor-
tunity, because there is sunshine In
