Recorder Rush Makes Annual
RepOrt.--Other GIGanings

Judge Blair on Friday rendered a
lengthy opinion in the action of An
drew d. Welker VS.. Calvin Sapp and
others in which finding was for the
defendant.
The action concerned itself with
the boundary line of certain land in
Howard township which the plaintiff
sought to enjoin defendant from en-
tering and cutting down trees.
The plaintiff based his claim on the
fact that the eastern boundary line
has for 40 years been determined by
fence and that the western line was
also determined by this adverse pos
session. This means Of fixing the line
would extend plaintiffs western boun-
dairy line nearly five rods beyond the
call of his deed.
Four surveyors have gone over the
disputed lands with four different re-
suits.
The plaintiff claims five rods fur
ther south than called for in his deed
and as he claims, includes only total
amount called for in his deed.
1--WE know of no rule Of law" Judge
Blair states, that will permit the
quantity of the land to control the
distance as given in the deed" Ac-
cordingly, judgment is given defend
ant.

What is the best thirst-quencher on
the march? Weak tea and sterilized
water are the beverages officially rec
commended by paternal Army Coun-
Gil wherewith to fill water bottles,
though the soldier is urged to drink
as little as possible lest he merely ag-
gravate this thirst. Most old soldiers
have their own pet theories on the
matter of thirst-quenchers, and offer
them freely (and generally in vain)
to recruits.
One sergeant of wide experience is
ready to stake his reputation on the
soothing effect of Tangerine orange;
another will chew liQuorice or tobac-
CO. But there is a reader and cheaper
way. A small, smooth stone is select
ed and steadily sucked on the march
to keep the tongue moist. The re-
cent loss of favorite pebble, his
friend on many a long march, has
greatly saddened "a certain company
sergeant major, and he still nurses the
firm and unshakable conviction that it
was surrepticiously borrowed and
swallowed by greedy platoon ser
geant.
