ExnIorer,s Remarkable Feat.

Sir James Barrie's affection for ex-
plorers is no new thing. All who know
his edinburgh Eleven" will remember
the eulogy of Joseph Thomson, the
Dumfriesshire Scot, who did pioneer
work of the Livingstone kind in At
RIGA. 1t is fine pen picture of dour,
brave man, but it has flashes of the
early Barrie. This, for example:
perhaps his most remarkable feat
consisted In taking a bottle of brandy
into the heart Of Africa and bringing
1t back act."-Glasgow News.

The proposed eight-hour law, it would
seem, will not receive the support oil
the farmers OF the state, neither will it
receive the support of the small ranch
ers who hire one or two helpers. l..
C. Crow, President Of the Farmers
Union, told Spokane reporter few
days ago that the eight hour law is
being urged by the Socialists and the
I. w. W." THE Farmers Union, -
said Mr.. Crow, has not indorced the
eight-hour bill. 1t would be almost
impossible for farmer in the summer
season, when the crop work is on, to
comply with the provisions Of the eight
hour BILL"
The small ranchers throughout the
state are declaring against the bill,
claiming that hundreds of them are in
the small gardening business. Their
competitors are the Japanese and the
Italians. The foreigners work fourteen
to sixteen hour day. II the Ameri-
can rancher were permitted to work his
help but eight hours day he would
soon find that his foreign competitor
would be able to put him out Of bust
ness. 1T would simply mean," said
one small American truck farmer, that
we would be compelled to go out of
business and be satisfied to lease our
land to the Japs and the Italians. )"

When the inside of q silver teapot
starts to tarnish the following idea Is
very good to make it look like new:
Put large piece of washing soda into

Then boil 1t for one hour over a spirit

better than a bank account.

In suit involving the specific per-
Torrance OF a contract to convey real

pany against the Assets RealisatiOn Com
pany and others that such an action
may be brought In the courts OF this State
by one foreign corporation against an
other where the real property II situated
without the State. provided the cause
OF action arose In this state.
The court also holds that when title
to real property Is taken and held by
two individuals as joint tenants, who are
officers OF IA corporation and are desig-
mated by the corporation to hold the title.
the corporation Is a proper but not n
necessary party defendant to an action
against the individuals for specific per-

titled can be obtained against the individ-
ual defendants alone

the Echo Investing Corporation sued
William Washington Cole for the specific

the Fifth Avenue and Twenty sixth Street
Company. which subsequently assigned It's
contract to the plaintiff. agreed on
February Is. 1918. to convey the property

Cole for 81 Union square and 10. 81 and
"a East Sixteenth street, the Twenty-sixth
street property TO be encumbcred with
first mortgage for s1.300,00o
In An opinion giving Judgment for the
plaintiff, the court says that the property
was to be improved by the erection of a
twelve story offco building to be erected
before September 1 last, and that deeds
were to be exchanged September 2 last,
At which time tho defendant agreed to
lend the plaintiff $4,000 and take Q
a. security. The defendant was to exc.
cute to tho plaintiff or It's assisnor q

order to relieve himself OF the raepun.
sibility Of handling the property. The
sum OF e2b0.000 was fixed - liQudated
damages for defaulting tho performance
Of the terms of the lease.
A disagreement subsequently arose be-
tween the parties over the interest rate Of
the i,So0,000 mortgage, the defendant
contending that under the contract tho
interest rate was to be 8 per cent. until
the building WAS completed, and 6 per
cent. afterward. while tho mortgage
which the plaintiff offered fixed the sub
sequent interest at ~, per cent. The
defendant then contended that there had
been a breach OF contract BY the plaintiff.
The plaintiff then sued. and as one Of
the defences Mr. Cole alleged that the
court could not enforce the performance
Of the agreement because an integ grail pa rt
Of It was the loan OF $780, 900 to the
plaintiff.
As to the contention that the court
could not decree specific performance OF
contract to lend money. Justice Lehman
says that when such an agreement forms
part OF a contract for the exchange Of real
estate the court has Jurisdiction, and for
the purpose Of giving complete relief has
the power to order the lending OF money
and should exercise II. The court said /:
The contract was made by two adults
OF business experience, In full enjoyment
OF their faculties. without fraud or undue
influence or mistake Of fact. and the court
should not lightly declare such a contract
negotiable"
