filed by defendant, said de-
PENDANT shall be deemed to haze
brought an action against the
plaintiff as to the matters in

2. f the countercLdim is &C.
componied and supported by an
affidavit of merit, the plaintiff
must plead to said counter claim
and the said plea Cor ple0s) must
be supported by an affidavit Of

In the case of Klotz VS.. Pres
cott-White Corp, Inc, At Law
No. S2911, the plaintiff brought
suit against the defendant on a
note and subsequent agreements
thereon. After a demurrer to the
declaration was overruled the de-
PENDANT filed a plea entitled
"counterclaim or set-off." The
said plea of "counterclaim or set
off" was accompanied by Par.
ticulars of Demand and an affi-
davit of defense. Though the az.
fidavit is entitled affidavit of
defense" it in fact sets forth an
affirmative claim and concludes
with the required phrase in an
affidavit of merit exclusive of all
set-offs and just grounds of de-
fense). To this plea the plaintiff
filed a joinder of issue.
The defendant moved to strike
the joinder of issue and prayed
for Judgment against the plaintiff
under the 73rd rule, contending
that joinder of issue is improper
to a defendants plea of counter
claim and that judgment should
be granted against the plaintiff
for his failure to file an affidavit
of defense to defendants counter
claim.
The cause came on for hearing
before Mr.. Justice Proctor on the
above motion.

Action Sustained

The mere fact that plaintiff
filed an affidavit of merit with
his declaration is no reason why
the defendant should not file an
affidavit of merit in support of its
counterclaim, for, as we have seen
in the above case, a counterclaim
puts the defendant in the same
position as a plaintiff as to the
matters set forth in it's counter
claim. See sections 1865 and 1867
D. c. Code.
Again we have seen in the case
before this one Gin this column
counterclaim is always construed
to be in the nature of an original
action and the defendant is en-
titled to support the same by an
affidavit of merit under the
seventy third rule.
The counterclaim clearly shows
that the facts therein set forth
arise out of obligations entirely in
dependent of the plaintiffs cause

periods, according to officials.
Fourth period sales increased
30.6 per cent over a year ago,
against an increase of 28.1 per

The fourth period increase was
the best since recovery began, with
the exception of the second period
of this year, whose gain of 57.3
per cent compared with the 1888

While the drought has undoubt-
edly reduced sales in the areas
worst affected. detailed sales fig

indication as to just what volume
of sales is being lost for this rea-

While the drought area, COM
