of comfort apparently being the chief
matter of observance on the part of
everyone who has to do with the club,

further continuing in the meat market
business for a period of five years.
Decision was given for the plaintiff
company.
According to the testimony ad-
jduccd the Smith Company recently
bought out Pouttu's market in Union
jtown, the transfer having been made
iby means of a written contract, and
'in accordance with a custom not un
; usual in such matters, the contract
contained a clause that Pouttu should

Pouttu did start up, however, and
then the action was brought to re
strain him. '

none forgot to say the friendly and
pleasant word that was indispensable
in the light of the entertainment that
was afforded by .the club and its offi

clause was read dealing with his re
tirement from the meat business here
fry five years Pouttu said, "Strike th it
out," and that Mr. Smith had agreed
to strike it out.
For the defense this was denied and
the instrument as it stood was up
held. Mr. Smith, head of the meat
company, testified on the stand yes
terday, having come down from Port
land for that purpose.
