In every! pulpit extracts were read from (Mr. } Hoover's letter addressed .to the churches of every denomination in the United States in which he said in part: “The whole great problem of winning ‘the war rests largely on the loyalty and sacrifice ‘of the American people in the matter'of food. It is not only @ government’ responsibility, ui also the responsibility of each individ- ual. Every pound of food saved by each American citizen is a pound giv- en .o the support of our army and the allfes. Every pound wasted or eaten unnecessarily ‘is a ‘pound withheld from them. It isa direct personal ob- ligation on the part‘of each of us to someone in Europe whom’ we are bound, to help.” § A special appeal for food conserva- tion accompanying Mr. ‘Hoover's letter contained a request that everyone lim- ’ it the usd of. meat to two pounds per person per Week and’ also an’ appeal to’ all: those “circumstances permit to abstain from -wheat’ and‘:wheat pro- ducts until the next. harvest. «This ap- peal also has been made.to women’s clubs and fraternal organizations in the capital. city, . at a. number of these fraternities now are planning to Bind every *mentber by pledge to eat notmoré'than*two pounds of meat per ‘Week ‘aiid to’ dbatam* altogether from wheat; at: least until after the next harvest, >: ee This abstinence, 1% pointed out, ; cannat affect :the price of. wheat, ana there'is no danger of its cutting down the price of meat, as henceforth the * _ By Justice J.

Robinson had made the sale on the listing terms for which defendant had agreed to pay $1,200. As there was no bargain concerning the. amount of commission to be paid’ on the sale as mode, Reeds, thé owner of the land claimed. that he was bound to pay only a reasonable commission and such was the holding of our court. However; Justice Grace wrote a. dis- senting opinion of about 10,000 words in trying to maintain that on any sale to. which Reeds, assented he was bound to pay a commission of $1,200; that is if Reeds had accepted ana agreed to sell his land on five or, ten years’ time without any interest what- ever, he would. still “be legally bound, |.to. pay: his. broker a commission of $1,200, though he had not agreed to pay,i tunless the broker found a pur chaser. ready and willing to make j2 good cash payment and to pay 7 per cent. interest on..the unpaid balance. The. court. held. that in this case the commission broker was entitled to recover only a. reasonable commis- sion or what his services were reas: onably warth. In such a case. it’ ts) ‘hard to perceive any reason for a long dissenting - opinion.:\.the writing of which must have taken a week or more of the Judge's valuable time ana it.is all to no purpose as it cannot affect the result, and the chances are that it will never be read. We are living in an age of business» and) progress and we have no time for the reading of lengthy discussions which can serve no purpose, and that is especially true when the discussion case and to the statement of evidence and the copying of lengthy records which do.not interest the public. It is probably a mistake that so many ‘de- cisions are published at length. . In !regard to the length of written opin- ions edch Judge has an absolute dis- cretion which is often abused. Two or three years ago judges of this court often wrote opinions cover- ing forty>to eighty pages. The de- cisidns are of greater average length than that of any other supreme court of the whole United tates, and the court was*generally from one to two years behind ‘with their work. In his publicity letter, when a can- didaté for office, Justice Grace wrote thus: If elécted, I shall advocate cer- tain judicial reforms, among them ‘be- ing decisions which shall be clear and more concise. I am always praying for our judges to write decisions which shall be clear and more concise and to keep up with the work of the terest amounted to $700 or $800. ‘The owner of the land assented to the sale and: the broker ‘claimed $1,200 com- mission in the same manner as if he manty ‘sources. of informatio: average man. court: This they would have to do or auit their job were they writing decisions for any business corpora- tion.
