The parties entered into a contract in February, 1920, for the exchange of certain land and rights, each to the cther. By the terms of the contract, the plaintiff was to pay no money, but the amount of money to be paid to the | plaintiff by the defendant for such ex- change, if any, should be the subject | of future agreement. Said contract provided that if the parties could not agree within 90 days from the date of | the conveyance (which was in April, 1920) upon the price, then the same should be left to arbitration, and if the parties could not agree upon one arbitrator, then each party should select one arbitrator, and the two so chosen should select a third arbitra- tor. The plaintiff and defendant were unable to agree within 90 days from the date of the conveyance, and also were unable to agree upon one arbi- trator. E.
