The following from the Stanton
Republican may be we'll for some
in the county to read and heed to
judge. from acts seen lately in our
town: When a man gets SO rich or
SO high in society that he is
ashamed of his bent old mother

lack of grammar. he is too snobbish
for honest men to trust out.

CALENDAR The
BIGGEST ONE YET
District Court Convened
Monday, Winchester
On the Bench

Court convened Monday morn
ing with Judge Winchester on the
bench. A. B. Anderson acted as
court stenographer the first day
during the absence of FL. Schnep-
per. This week no jury cases were
heard. but four days were taken
up in naturalizing aliens.
Court adjourned Thursday to
convene again next Monday when
the Jurors will be on hand.
The calendar is the largest it
has ever been and many attorneys
are in town preparing their cases:
r. N. Stevens, T. r. Mockler of
Bismarck; Robert Fraser Garrison;
j. Morrow, Denhoff; j. 7. Hoge,
j. G. Spicer, Underwood; III. r.
O'Hare, Garrison.
Since it has become known for
sure that there is a Sheridan
county there has been some doubt
as to the legality Of the jurors
from that county acting : in the
December term Of court in Nc
Lean county.
Judge Winchester and court
Stenographer Schnepper went to
Bismarck yesterday on court
business. They will return next
Monday.
A man who had applied for
second papers was asked: 'Do
YOU believe in the constitution? ?.
He said he did. He was then
asked: Do you believe in poly
gamy? He again said he did.
When he was asked what it was he
said; illegal partnership per-
tanning to matrimony."
Whilimon Baybazan Of Great
stone, seems to be having some
trouble in getting his secong pap
ers. When he was being examined
he was asked if he had ever been
arrested and he said he had not.
He passed the examination and
was told that he could get his
papers. That evening one of his
witnesses reminded him of the
fact that he had been arrested by
his wife's former husband. This
came out in court the next day
and the government denied his
petition. It is thought the u.
S. attorney will withdraw his
objection. Some time ago there
was two column write-up in the
Minot Optic about this same
Whilimon Bayabazan. It seems
that some months or SO ago a
Russian sent 1926. to the old
country for a wife, She wanted a
picture sent to her before coming
over. This Russian being tooth
less and not as fair to look upon
as his friend Whilimon, procured
Whilimon's picture and sent it.
When she arrived and saw her
future husband she refused to
marry him. They then went to
Minot to make out contract for
her to return the money, SO she was
led to believe. Instead, he told the.
Judge they wanted to be married
and he performed the ceremony.
On the return trip home he told
her that she was now his wife but
she would not live with him. She
had seen the original Of the
picture and went to hiA He,
Whilimon Baybazon gave the
Russian a bill Of sale for 1925 for
his wife, afterwards married her.
His matrimon troubles are now
II an end but he may still have
some difficulty il getting his
second papers.

Monday are the State ys Demitri

State ys Philip Boil for burglary.

1DON'TS'' THAT
SAVE WRINKLES
Postofice Hints Worth
Needing by All Who
Use the Mails

y '-'E7--7
Use the Mails
After Postmaster Wahl had read
the 4Don'ts From the Postofice"
in several papers, he said the most
important one was omitted and
that is to rail your packages early
in the day and not just a few min
utes before the arrival of the train
on which you wish your package
carried. Mr.. Vail will put on
two extra clerks during the Christ
mas season SO that all mail can be
handled quickly. For. the guild
ance of persons sending parcels
during the holidays this list of
'sdon'ts' is printed:
Don't do up a parcel with such
poor wrapping paper or in such a
aimsy manner that the wrapper
may easily be torn and separated
from, the contents.
Don't fail to put your name
and address, preceded by the word
FROM on the upper left hand cor
ner Of every piece of mail.
Don't fail to give the full adj
dress street and number, town,
city, county and state Of destina-
ton.
:'Don't mail parcel without
previously weighing it to ascertain
the amount of postage required.
Don't place hsa K efchiefs,
neckties or other articles Of mer-
chandise in packages Of printed
matter unless you prefer to pay
the higher rate Of postage on the
whole.
sDon't seal or wrap parcels in
such a manner that their contents
may not be easily examined, unless
you intend to pay letter rates of
postage.
Don't use l. and 2-cent stamps
for postage on heavy packages.
Use the larger denominations. It
saves you trouble in affxing them,
and saves time and work in the
postohce.
Don't deposit packages on the
tops Of street letter boxes, or they
may never reach the postofice.
Don't use tags or labels exclu-
sively for addresses, as they are
liable to become separated from
the packages. Write directions on
wrappers also.
Don't seal mp packages con-
tanning photographs or pictures,
Christmas cards, New Years cards,
and mark them photo only
books or printed matter as the
sealing will subject them to letter
rates Of postage.
Don't hesitate to write any form
of presentation Of Merry Christ
: mas, Happy New Year. 'Compli-
ments Of the season. or other
writing of that nature Of an inn
personal character with yonr.
name. tits encouraged and es-
pecially provided for in the postal
regulations.
Don't fail to register valuable
letters and packages. The govern
ment insures their safe delivery
and the extra cost: is but 8 cents.
Don't mail sealed packages OIL
merchandise to Canada and Mexico
and Cuba, The rates to these
countries for such matter are the
same as in the United States viz,
/ cent per ounce when unsealed.
Don't mail parcels Of merchan-
disc to foreign, countries except by
the parcels post system. The rate
Is 12centsa pound limit Of weight,

JAIL FOR SUPERVISORS
Who Fail to Do Duty Is Suggestion Of
Judge.

Judge.
ut might do some good for
better roads IN Butler county If
some of the supervisors who fail
of their duty we're punished un-
der the law and sent to jail, said
Judge James M. Galbreath from
the bench while giving instruc-
tions to constables to use vigil
lance in reporting sections of road
needing repairs.
The courts words are the re-
suit of the threat of the Postoffice
Department that unless more at.
tention is given TO the keeping of
roads in condition rural mail ser
vice will be dispensed with in
many parts of the county.
1t came to the attention of
Judye Galbreath that not IN a
single township in Butler county
have the road supervisors obeyed
the law by letting the contract
for the removal of the loose
stones from the roadways four
times a year-May, June, August
and October.

Loss on Postage Stamps.

The post Office profits slightly
by the destruction of stamps
which have been paid for, and the
treasury gets the benefit of bills
which are lost and never found.
A large source of irregular profit
lies in the failure of bondholders
to present their bonds for re-
demptlon. Unclaimed money in
the treasury due to bondholders
amounting to nearly a million
dollars in 1861, and the sum is
much greater now. OF a loan
which fell due in 1900, the sum
of thirty-two thousand dollars
remains unclaimed. Nearly a
hundred Thousand dollars are
still unpaid of the five per cent.
bonds whish were due in 1904.
This year over a hundred million
thlrty-year four per cent. bonds
came due on July /. Special IN
ducements were offered to secure
early redemption. Yet at the
end of the month thirteen million
dollars still stood In the treasury
on this account, although interest
has ceased. d.-The Youths Com
