HIGHWAY OVER
LAND DOES NOT
VITIATE SALE;

According to an opinion by Judge
A. P. Barker of Davenport a s25,-
600 farm deal cannot be Cancelled
because of a dispute over the ques-
ton of a public highway taking up
an acre or more of the land in
volved.
Judge Barker ruled in favor OF
the plaintiff in the case of Hans
Dierksen against Otto PAIL, an ac-
ton to force the defendant to com
ply with the terms of a contract
calling for the purchase OF the
plaintiffs farm.
PAIL and Dierksen made the deal
over a year ago, PAIL moving onto
the farm and tilling the land a
year. He sought, to have the con-
tract Cancelled on the ground that
Dierksen could not give a clear til
tie because the public highway
which runs through the property
acted as an circumference.

is becoming a topic on nearly

Anyone familiar with the LIE OF
p T. Barnum, the great show
man" knows that the bringing OF
Lind to America was one OF the
greatest things he did in life that
was full of wonderful accomplish
ments, and, as a forerunner or pre-
paring the public to receive the
greatest singer Of that time, or any
time. he was a pioneer whose
methods have never been surpass-
ed. But Barnum never fooled the
public. He always delivered the
goods for what he knew they were.
That is why today the coming OF
Hempel as prototype of her illus
trious predecessor, and chosen
above all other modern sopranos to
impersonate Jenny Lind can have
but one meaning-unsurpassed
