County Beard was In Session Yesterday.

The Board of Supervisors of Audubon
county was in session at the court house
yesterday. This meeting had been set
to advertise and prepare plans for
concrete bridges to be built in the county
this year. AS soon as County Engineer
Forsbeck can prepare the plans and
specifications bids will be asked for. It
is expected that all bids will be in by
June 9th and as soon thereafter as
possible, at least ten new bridges will
be constructed. A number Of Extra
people were before the Board yesterday
afternoon presenting their claims for q
good substantial bridge. It is more
than likely that the bridge at Extra will
be the first one to be built.

SUGGESTIONS ABOUT
DRAWING OF CHECKS


Though SO many people have bank
ing accounts nowadays, there are many
who are uncertain about the rules for
drawing and cashing checks. Here are
some OF them:
If you receive n check with your
name spelled wrong-Smyth instead OF
Smith. for instance-sign both the
name on the check and your own name
on the back.
The reason why checks are crossed
is to ensure their being paid through
a bank. Thus they can easily be
traced.
If check is crossed "a. C. payee, .
only the person to whom IL is payable
can get cash for it. and only from the
bank where he has an account.
IL the check is crossed with the name
OF the payee and the name OF his banl;
as well. this denotes not only the ac-
count TO which the check has to be
paid, but the bank where this account
is kept.
Crossing a check does not mean that
Il cannot be negotiated between one
person and another. To destroy its ne
gotiabiity you must write mot nego-
table" across II. II that Is done, no.
body has any title to the check except
the person to whom IL is payable.
These words provide a safe saard
against the check being lest or stolen.
A check to bearer" need not be inT
dorsed. check payable to order"
must be.
Take care in writing your check. II
YOU write IL carelessly or wrongly ana
Il dishonest person takes advantage of
this, or alters II, and 80 obtains more
money for IL than YOU intended, the
loss falls on YOU, not on the banker.

with Mr.. Roosevelt and with the dis
tinct understanding that he would be
bound i'm no way 10 take part in the
political activities of the administra-

Mr.. Stimson. 81 am now and always

IL am for Mr.. Taft because I be-
lieve he has faithfully carried out the
progressive faith of the Republican
party; that his administration stands
for orderly permanent progress in our
national governments and that to re-

Taft Is Progressive.
Mr.. Stimson said that President
