Department 1.
Appeal from Circuit Court, Marion County; Percy R. Kelly, Judge.
Action by F. J. Lafky against J. H. Albert. From a judgment for defendant, plaintiff appeals. Affirmed.
Grant Corby and George G. Bingham, both of Salem, for appellant. C. M. Inman and John A. Carson, both of Salem (Carson & Brown, of Salem, on the brief), for respondent.
This is an action for libel. The defendant demurred on the ground that the complaint did not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. We have examined the record, and are of the opinion that the language used is not libelous per se; and, there being no innuendo, the demurrer was properly sustained.

The judgment is affirmed.
