agree upon an arrangement which is a
partnership in fact. 1t is Of no impor-
tance that they call 1t something else.
Tor that they even expressly declare
that they are not partners. The law
must declare what Is the legal import
OF their agreements, and names go for
nothing when the substance of the ar
rangement shows them to be inappli-
cable"
Relative to discovery of a consis
tory will, executed by the late Charles
Fleming over twenty years ago, the
court says:
The Consistory Will.
"At the commencement Of this case
it was supposed said decedent died
intestate. but during the trial will
was discovered, produced and is now
pending for admission to probate. AT
present the will Is immaterial and may
or may not become Of Importance to
the parties in interest"
On the theory that her husband
left no will, Mrs. Anna B. Fleming
claimed, and is now entitled to "a
reasonable amount for her support for
the period of one year from the death
Of her husband. $500 and \one-half OF
the remainder Of her deceased hus-
bands estate"
Trial Of the case was begun before
District Judge C. A. Dudley Dec. H.
1916. It Immediately became apparent
that the outcome hinged upon the
validity Of the Fleming contracts.
Plaintiffs Contentious.
Plaintiff contended they should be
set aside, because
"a They were against public
policy, and therefore void.
(2) The contracts were testament
tary and not being executed in form
as wills, were void.
go Contracts were executed In an
attempt to do by contracts what the
law says can not be done by will. l. e..
deprive the widow of her tfistributive
share.
"a Contracts were In terms part
nership contracts with an attempt to
saddle thereon the essential feature OF
a joint tenancy, i. e., the right Of sur
yivorship as between the brothers to
the exclusion Of the widow and heirs.
The widow took the stand and re-
lated the circumstances OF the al
legged ordeal to which she was sub
jected when she was forced to sign
away her rights. The brothers. under
oath, denied her story from beginning
to end, and said they had naught but
the kindliest feelings for her.
A Consistory Will.
Near the end of the trial Mrs. F'lem-
ing's attorney produced in court a will
executed by her husband at the time
he entered the Des Moines Consistory,
in which ne bequeathed everything TO
his wife.
Robert Fleming had previously testi-
fled that Charles had left no will. Had
he left even so much as a scrap of
paper his wishes would be obeyed, no
matter at what cost" he had declared.
After the will was discovered Robert
was recalled to the stand and said. II
do not regard this Masonic document
as a will but merely part Of the
initiatory ceremonies"
The trial ended Dec. % with tacit
understanding that no matter what
decision Judge Dudley might make; the
case would be appealed to the supreme
court.

TRACTORS USED IN ENGLAND
American Machine Is Meeting With
Pronounced Favor and Many Brit
lsh Farmers Are Investing.

Intensive cultivation is not the
only thing that American farmers
can learn from others. In England
farmers are using tractors for plow-
ing, reaping, hauling and light
power purposes on a scale that puts
in the shade the country where the
best tractors are made, observes the
New York Commercial. In some of
the Canadian provinces the local gov
ernments have assisted farmers in
buying tractors. American consuls|
report that with British farmers,
usually the most conservative Of
mortals, tractors are becoming very
popular because a tractor enables a
farmer to do better work with a
smaller staff and it is adaptable to
various uses for which power is re-
quired on the farm.
Several American manufacturers
of tractors are well represented in
England and their sales are growing
fast. Demonstrations Of tractors in
operation stimulate demand and
country fairs afford good opportuni-
ties for this. Recently great plOw-
ing match for tractors as well as for
horse-drawn plows was held in con-
junction with the annual county fair
at Brantford, Ont, which attracted!
hundreds of farmers, and numerous.
orders were booked for deliveries to-
farmers clubs all over western On
tario.
