FATHER AFTER
TW0OFF|CERS

Fred Gilman, father of Leslie and
Pearl Gilman, has retaliated
against the activity of the proba-
ton officers in the matter of the
conduct of his children by demand
ing an order of court restraining
the county commissioners, auditor
and treasurer from further paying
the salaries of the probation Off
GERS, B. G. Peters and Mrs. Hilda
Rihard, on the ground that they
are not entitled to draw pay under
the law. The complainant alleges
that Officer Peters and Mrs. Rihard
have failed to take an oath of office
or file a bond and hence are not
duly qualified officers. 1t is further
held that the probation law con-
templates the service of probation
!. officers without pay and that the
county commissioners, in allowing
salary for the positions. have VIC.
lated the law. The compensation
of Peters is 1920 annually and
that of Mrs. Rihard $1,000.
The probation office and the Oh.
man family have been clashing for
months because of the insistence
of the probation officers in looking
after the conduct of Pearl Gilman
who is held to be a juvenile de
linquent. The girls has been ar
rested a number of times, has
broken Jail once, and is now out or
bond of $1,000, furnished in pro
ceedings instituted in the superior
court. Her brother Leslie is also
under bonds in the superior court

= A CLOSE SHAVE
Many of Them Happening Every
Day but Soon Forgotten.


Close shaves would be of more
frequent occurrence but for the
tender faces of many men which
will not permit of shaving often.
Heretofore, nothing has been said
in these columns about poslam,
a new skin discovery, in connection
with it's use after shaving. It's pub
licity and sales have been confined
almost exclusively to it's remarka-
BILE properties as an eczema cure,
it stops the itching at once and
cures the worst cases in few days.
While the application of pOslam
after shaving is one of it's minor
uses, such as for pimples, the com
plexion, etc, shavers will find it a
revelation, as it does for abrasions
roughness and severe scrapings
what it does 70 rail- manner of skin
difficulties-heals and cures In a
few hours. 1t is the only article
possessing real antiseptic and cura
tive value that has ever been ex
plotted for this purpose, and will
soothe and tone up the skin as nc
toilet preparation could possibly
do.
Poslam can be had for so cents
at any reliable druggists, particu
larly Murgittroyd's and Ritter's
who make a specially of it. Or the

ceuldn'. Fool Him.

A Morris River oysterman attended n band contest one winter night in Morris River. The contestants blew into their great horns as If to burst their lungs The drummers banged their drums with might and main. Cheeks were red and round like ap- ples. Eyes almost started from their sockets The oysterman enjoyed ii all But his attention was distracted by deaf old gentleman who in the pianissimo passages put large silver ear trumpet to his ear. Whenever he did this the Oysterman sneered. And at last his honest hatred of anything approaching sham oyercame the mans reserve. He clbowed his way to the deaf old gentleman and said:
 Look here; that don't go here Ev- erybody knows you can't play that with your ear Put 1t away. mister. You cant fool us."--Los Angeles Times.

"Yes. l know that certain passen gers object to tipping on principle: but speaking for myself. 1 believe in it, '' remarked a ruddy faced old man in the corner of third class smoker. ''It is only right to reward courtesy. and always make i, point of giving the guard of this train sixpcnce when he comes to see if I'm all right, although I'm only poor man."
 The other passengers, not to he out done. thereupon dived Into their pock. cts, and when the guard popped his head inside the door a few minutes later he found himself overwhelmed with silver coins.
 An hour passed, and the passengers got out one by one until the old man was left facing n spruce commercial traveller. who leaned toward him con. fidentislly and asked him how he could afford to give the guard sixpence ev' cry time he took journey.
 "Oh. don't worry yourself about that" responded the old man. "1 dare say shall get it back with interest"
