The case of Joseph West VS.. The
- San Juan Realty and Improve

.THE case of Joseph West VS.. The
~ San Juan Realty and Improve
ment Company and W. W. Lee-suit
to recover damages claimed by reason
of alleged misrepresentat ton of prop
erty purchased by West through said
company and Mr.. Lee as its alleged
agent, has been on trial before Judge
Joiner in the superior court this week.
Plaintiff alleges that he bought the
property after visiting it in company
with his uncle, Mr. Lee, whom he says
pointed cut to him boundaries which
included tract of eighteen acres Of
bottom land, cleared anC under culti-
walton, which tract, belonging to
Thomas Ackley, was represented to
him as part of the place, and in fact
the most valuable part; that he un-
derstood Mr.. Lee to be the duly au-
thorized agent of the realty company,
through whose manager, Mr.. Gar
rett, the purchase was concluded;
that he would not have bought the
property if the eighteen acre tract re-
ferred to had not been represented to
him as part of it, and by reason of
such alleged misrepresentation he
asks damages in the sum of $3.50.
Mr.. Lee swears that he indicated
the boundaries to Mr.. West precisely
as they were shown to him and Mr.
Garrett by Mr.. Armstrong, who con-
veyed it to L. B. Carter, and who
swears that he pointed out the actual
boundary lines to these gentlemen as
closely as possible from the several
positions on the place where they
went when the inspection was made,
and just as he described the lines to
Mr.. West when he first visited the
place after the purchase. He further
swears that two or three days prior
to the sale Mr.. Carter telephoned
for him to come to Mr.. CARROTS Of
fee, which he did, and that Mr.. Gar
rett then told him that West would be
here within few days, when as
matter of fact West was already here
and was at that very hour on his way
to visit the property in company with
Lee.
The defendant company contends
that Mr.. Lee was not it's agent and
that even if the boundaries of the
property in question were misrepre-
sented by him, through misunder-
standing on bis part, or otherwise,
neither the company nor any individ-
ual member of it is responsible.

The Food Value of
a Quart Of Milk

Much attention is now being paid
to the selection of feeds for our farm
animals, and but little heed is given
to the comparative value of foods for
the human family. We quote the
following paragraph from Prof. At
water:
IA quart of milk, three quarters OF
a pound Of moderately fat beef, sirloin
steak Cor instance, and five ounces OF
wheat flour, all contain about the
same amount of nutritive material;
but we pay different prices for them
and they have different values for
nutriment. The milk comes the near
est to being perfect food. It con-
tains all of the necessary ingredients
for nourishment, but not in the pro-
portions best for ordinary use.
Scarcely any Of us realize what a
valuable food milk is until we COM
pare 1t with something else tnat we
considered very good and are accus-
toned to paying rather high price
for. Three-quarters of pound OF
sirloin steak sells for about IA cents
and quart of milk for from 8 to !
cents
It is not customary for the Ameri-
can people to look at the nutritive
value Of foods, but they purchase the
foods that suit them, regardless OF
the amount Of nutrients they contain.
If more attention we're given to the
purchase of foods upon the basis OF
nutriment, more milk would be used
and less sirloin steak. Hoard $

day afternoon Judge Joiner declared
the bond of John Kelley, Jr., for $500,
forfeited, he having failed to appear
for trial on the charge Of robbing

Judge then directed the issuance of a
bench warrant for Kelley and ordered
the sheriff to arrest him if found at
any time within the jurisdiction Of the

he will be required to give bond of
1000 for his appearance for trial or
be confined in jail in default of such
