Amos S. Musselman arrived late

caused a stir among the banqueters,
as 1t had been freely whispered about
that the banquet was his true coming
out" party: Appearing as the first

DAMN" NO CUSS WORD,
DECIDES A JERSEY JURY
Surrogate Who Told Woman She Was
That Kind Of Fool Acquitted BY
His Peers.

NEW YORK, March 25.-According
to verdict brought In by six men
sitting as a jury before Justice OF the
Peace James II. Belethe, in Norris
town., N. j., damn" Is not an oath. or
swear word" such as Is prohibited
by the Vice and immortality act or
New Jersey.
Surrogate David Young. who was on
trial for saying that Mrs. Nellie Fitz-
herbert of Dover talked like damn
fool" acknowledged he had used the
expression, but his counsel insisted
that such an expression was not
swearing. The jury agreed with him
and acquitted Young.
Mrs. Fitzherbert testified that she
was In Young's Office In Morristown
recently TO get a copy Of will in
which she was interested. She read
the copy and told the Surrogate that
1t was not true copy. He offered 10
bet her dollar that 1t was true
copy. She took the bet and put up her
dollar.
The copy was compared with the
original and 1t was shown that In the
copy the'word mot" was left out.
completely altering one of the provis-
ions fthe will. She won her bet.
Later Mrs. Fitzherbert visited
Young's Office again and tainted him
upon losing the bet. She told him
that he was all right, but in tho
wrong place." He became angry and
said:
"You talk like a damn fool"
Young said that he had great provo
cation and merely wished to add en-
phasis to an assertion. The express
sion was merely an adjective intended
TO convey the idea that Mrs. Fitzher-
bert talked not only like fool. but
like n very big fool-like very much
Of fool. He did not mean that she
was a condemned fool.

The Modern Test

The United States Government
is spending millions of dollars
every year in it's experiments to
ascertain that which will pro-
duce the greatest and best
growth in wheat, oats, barley.
corn and all the cereals, and
vegetables, as well as livestock.
It is we'll known that it costs as
much to raise q lot of scrub
stock, as the better bred animals,
and the latter bring much bet
ter price in the markets of the
world. So every thing is based
on what growth it will make, not
only in the animal and vegetable
world, but, also, in the world of
business. You will hear bust
ness men say my business has
grown from $4,000 to $40, 600
per year." as the case may be.
The population of county
grows. GROWTH IS THE
MODERN TEST. The growth
Iof the business of this bank is
something we are proud of. It
means that we are satisfying the
people. In the business world
it is a race to see who can salts
fy the most people. We are here
to give the people of Custer
county the very latest and best
methods of banking. We have
met with a hearty and cordial
welcome. Our growth has been
from few thousand dollars in
deposits to nearly one hundred
Thousand dollars in less than six
months. We take care of all
Legitimate business offered. To
attain this growth shows that
we are doing the right thing by
our patrons. We expect to con-
tinue to give the people only q
square deal. Start bank ac-
count, and then add to it as often
as you can, and you will be sur
prised at the growth it will
make. A good bank account in
your own pane, is the one alb
solutely, unselfish friend you
can have in a very selfish world.
It furnishes you food when all
other friends turn against you.
It sooths the wounds and sores
that you encounter with the
roughness of the world. It is 9
benediction. Make the start
now and get the habit, and We
invite you to start with Us.

Address ....
Commissioners Doinss.

The County Board has come
and gone, and did little business
of Importance. They postponed
opening the Will Leaton wagon
road across Salmon river in this
valley, and will consider this
matter at the April session.
At the April session they will
advertise for a steel bridge ac-
ross Lost river at Darlington.
They will replace the Jenson
bridge in the sweet bye and bye,
when it falls down with it's own
weight, from age.
They talked about holding a
county fair at Challis this year.
The county hospital contract
was given to DR.. Lynn for one
year for $500. DR.. Kirtley bid
81, $780,. and DR.. McComb bid
$500. But Board claimed that
the law did not allow them to
move the hospital. There is
no law against it. But they
claim they can move the county
printing.
The printing was given to the
Mackay paper for 1925. We bid
$50 to do the newspaper printing
but the County Attorney told
the Board that in his opinion"
our bid was not legal, as we did
not bid to do the election sup
plies. Opinions come easy, right
or wrong. But in this matter
we will take it up in another is
sue, later on.
There was a contest over the
appointment of a road overseer
for Dist. No. /. There were two
applicants, VIM. Chivers and
Chas. .Zilkey. The County At
torney gives another opinion
that because said Chivers lived
within an Incorporated town thai
he was not resident of sale
Road Dist. No. I. The Attor
ney General was 'phoned to, ant
he said there was no law to pro
hibit to appointment of Chivers
Thereupon said Chivers was ap
pointed to Dist. No. l. In Dist
No. 2, it was tie election be
: tween Tom Howell and Franl
