his relation to man and God, that
the way is open through the church.
The church is the open door into a
genuine, unapologetic life and SER
vice for God. Church utilization is
not optional with people. The union
service is at our church next Sunday
evening.
1t was the pleasure of pastor and
congregation at Crown Chapel to

like way. All business of the church
should be closed by September LIST

Plaintiff complains, in effect, that
there has been breach of the con-
tract on the part Of defendant, in re-
spect to that provision of the con-
tract, wherein the city undertakes
to furnish pump with 100 gallons
per minute capacity to be used IN
it's deep WELL If there has been a
breach of the contract on the part
of the city, a court of equity is not
the place for relief. If that issue
should be presented in a proper case,
between the parties, it would ther
become a most serious question for
consideration. While it Is contend
ed that the evidence shows that the
capacity of the pump is sufficient,
and that the fault lies in the made
quacy of the water supply in the
well, of which the plaintiff assumed
the risk, it must be borne in mind
that the pump to be furnished by
the city was to be "of 100 gallons
per minute capacity" when used in
pumping water from the city deep
well into the stand pipe" and the
evidence shows that it has not the
CAPACITY to pump 100 gallons per
minute from the we'll, and this is
not because of any fault or failure
on the part of the plaintiff, but in
my view, it is not necessary to de-
termine that question in this action.
1t cannot be seriously contended
that a party to a contract may pro-
coed to perform the same on his
part notwithstanding breach by
the other party, and, on that &C
count, successfully appeal to a court
of equity to set it aside, or to, in ef-
feet, make a new contract for the
parties.
The petition of the plaintiff in this
case will be dismissed for want OF
equity, but the right of the plaintiff
| to pursue such course as it may
elect, with reference to it's claim of
breach of contract, on the part OF
the defendant, will be fully reserved
to the plaintiff, and no adjudication
of such rights made in this action.
1T IS THEREFORE, ORDERED
AND ADJUDGED, that the plain.
tiff's petition be, and the same is,
hereby dismissed, and that the de-
fendant have judgment herein for
costs. Nothing herein, however,
shall be construed, as an adjudica-
ton between the parties as to the
plaintiffs claim that the defendant
has failed to keep and perform the
written contract in question on it's
part.
To all of which both plaintiff and
defendant except.
The defendant in one of it's plead
ings has set up a counter claim
against the plaintiff, wherein it
claims damages in case the court
should cancel the contract. This
disposition made herein of the case
necessarily disposes of defendants
counter claim, and the same is here
by dismissed.
Signed this 14th day of August,

Romans will be the study for the ev-

come. The meeting hour is eight
o'clock.
The service at the Presbyterian
church next Sabbath evening will be
next to the last of the union services.
The sermon by Rev. B. F. Jacobs on
last Sunday evening at the Method
list church was we'll put and timely.
There is feeling current that one
hasn't SO much responsibilities be-
cause he has refused to ally himself
with the church. This is not true,
for the responsibilities for further
ing the things for which the church
stands rests upon the shoulders OF
everyone. One may accept or re-
ject membership or work in the
churches, but not with equal ex-
pediency. Those who stand aside
and criticise or are Indifferent are
causing the boosters and those faith
full in these things to carry double
burden.
The Sunday school contest stands
with Blues STA points and Reds 917
points. The Blue side gained Sc on
the lead of the Reds last week. Two
Sundays more for your side to win
or lose. Be sure to be on hand ev-
cry Sunday at 9:45.

been preached for the Junior con-
gregation. The honor roll is as fol-

C1antOn-Tiedje.

A very pretty quiet home wedding
the marriage of Miss Leila Merl
Clanton to Mr.. Herman ]. Tiedje,
was solemnized at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. F. l..
Clanton of Van Vert, last Sunday
afternoon at o'clock in the pres
enee of few relatives and intimate
friends.
Just before the appearance of the
bridal party, Miss Alma CARRIER, of
Des Moines, sang the effective and
ever beautiful solo,"O, Promise Me"
Miss Josephine Blair accompanied
her at the piano.
Then as the strains of Mendel-
sohn's wedding march were played
by Miss Proda Sconce, the young
couple attended by Mr.. Leon A. Gar
Der and Miss Alma CARRIER, took
their places beneath a canopy Of
pink and white creation, and before
an improvised altar of ferns, where
they were met by Rev. A. B. Cornell,
of the Christian church, who, in a
few well chosen words, performed
the impressive ceremony which
made this twain one.
L. A. CARRIER sang II Love You
Truly" while congratulations were
being extended.
A delicious four course luncheon
followed, the pink and white color
scheme being carried out in the
menu, and prevailing in all other
appointments throughout the house.
Miss Ruth CARRIER of Des Moines,
dressed in dainty pink and white
costume did the serving. She was
assisted by Miss Edith Tiedje of
Davenport, sister of the groom.
The bride wore becoming gown
of white crepe de chine with lace
trimmings, beautiful in its simple
| ity, and carried shower boquet of
brides roses.
Miss CARRIER, the attendant, was
dressed in simple white frock with
trimmings of small pink rose buds,
and wore a corsage of pink roses.
Both the bride and groom are
we'll known, and very highly respect
ed in. the vicinity where they live,
and are deserving of the high esteem
| in which they are held.
For the present they will make
their home with the brides parents.
May much happiness and prosper
| ity attend them through life.

THOS. l.. MAXWELL,
Judge District Court

Leon Electric Co. vs.. City OF Leon.
The plaintiff brings this action Tor
tho purpose of having cancelled and
set aside a certain contract made
and entered into on the 29th day OF
August. 1913, by the terms of which
the plaintiff undertook to pump de-
PENDANTS water supply from its deep
we'll to it's standpipe. The original
netition seems to have been based
largely upon the claim that the de-
PENDANT city had failed to keep and
Derform it's contract on it's part. An
amendment to the petition asks LOT
cancellation of tho contract nrst on
the ground of mutual mistake, ano
second, on account of the frauduleht
concealment of material facts py the
city authorities.
A careful consideration OF all OF
the evidence in this case falls 10
convince me- that the plalntln is en-
titled to a cancellation OF the con-
tract, either on the ground OF mutu-
al mistake, or fraud. The contract
was entered into after weeks, ana l
think, months of negotiation, anu
deliberation with reference TO tne
various phases of the TRANSACTION:
The then president of the plalntlH
company was an experienced cleo
trician, and was familiar with pow
er plants, and reasonably well IN
formed as to the character and con-
dition of the deep we'll from which
the defendant obtained it's supply OF
water. A court of equity is always
ready to relieve a party from lnJur-
ious consequences of. contract,
which was entered into by mutual
mistake, or was procured through
the fraud of the party against which
complaint is made. But in my judg-
ment. the evidence is not sufficient
to Justify this court in granting re-
lief to the plaintiff on the grounds
above named. l see no evidence
whatever of any fraud practiced on
the plaintiff by the defendants Of
Ulcers or agents.

POISONOUS WEED
KILLING CATTLE
Appeals Made to State Col

cause of Lack of Funds.

State College. y. NJ. Feb 27-The
following statement has been issued
by president Geo. E. Ladd, Of the State
college:
Since early last fall livestock on
the ranges of New Mexico, to the value
of many thousand dollars, have died
from poisoning. The State College of
Agriculture has received many appeals
from ranch men for an investiga ton
of the cause of these losses which ap-
pears to be a poisopOus weed not hith-
erto known. We have no funds what
ever for such an investigation, but have
trespa ssed on our inaCeQuate mainten-
ance fund for field trips for infOTma-
ton on the basis Of which we could
establish a research project for this
coming summer.
I'VE have similar demands made upon
us for the suppression of hog cholera,
and this past year have again Overbur-
dened our small maintenance fund for
use in stamping out epidemics of this
disease. These costs ought not to be
charged to the maintenance fund even
If it were adequate, as these projects
are properly a part of our cooperative
research work

livestock in the state through the above

'ature Of the state making an Oppro-
IIiatlor Of $4,000 per year for the eE-

PANHANDLE MEN SELL
UNBORN CALVES AT $50

Amarillo. Texas, Feb. 27.-The sale of
1900 unborn Panhandle calves of the
crop of 1915 for fall delivery at $50
each, the highest price ever paid for
calves in advance marks the opening of
deals in futures in the range cattle
industry in the southwest. A. B. Echols,
owner of ranch near Matador in
Motley county, Tex and J. E Martin. a
rancnman in the same vicinity are the
sellers. Mr.. EchOls expects to have a
crop Of 1000 calves. Mr.. Martin con-
tracted 400 head. In both these con
tracts delivery will be made in Novem-
Der.
The cows on the Echols and Martin
ranches are high grade Hereford bred
to registered bulls, which Ensures a
high class of calves. The cows have
been well wintered and as there is a
promise all over the Panhandle terri
tory Of early grass, the calves should
have a fine start
