We are not convinced by Mr. Harr’s logic and fail to see that his position is supported by the law. Under the rules of this jurisdiction governing the interpretation of contracts, “the intention of the parties is to be ascertained from the writing alone, if possible,” (section 13-705, R.C.M.1947), and the “whole of a contract is to be taken together, so as to give effect to every part, if reasonably practicable, each clause helping to interpret the other.” (section 13-707) “The words # * * are to be understood in their ordinary and popular sense” (section 13-710) with “particular clauses” being “subordinate to its general intent.” (section 13-716).
