The first installment of Popular Talks on Law which the editor Of the News-Miner would have sup pressed in The Citizen on the ground that it will conflict with his busi- ness, will be found in this issue. You cannot find this series of arti- cles in any other paper in Fairbanks because they do not intend to give you your moneys worth as long as they can get your money for what they deal out to you. And you will get much less of them before you get more.

 In order to possess this quality of negotiability-to be able to pass from one to another by simple in dorsement. giving to the person re- ceiving it these superior rights-a note must conform to certain legal requirements. These are stated in the Negotiable Instruments Law. q uniform act which has been adopted in similar form by practically all Of the states. In general the note must be in writing and signed by the maker. Writing in it's legal sense includes printing. lithographs. etc. and the signature may be an abbreviation or a mark" Further to be negotiable it must contain an unconditional promise to pay sum certain in money. There must be no ''if' about the promise to pay Also 1t must be to pay money and not potatoes or nails If you are hay ing the house shingled and want to prevent the negotiating of note you may give so that no one may secure from it better rights than the carpenter to whom you give f. you may do so by stating in the note that you promise to pay upon condi- ton that the barn is shingled in accordance with the agreement. i To be negotiable note must be payable on demand or at fixed o' determinable future time Naming ! q future date for payment, of course. fixes the time. So too. it is regard ed as fixed time if payment s to i be made at the happen ngs of an event i hat is certain to occur. Slxtf days l f'om date is q determinab'e future time. Further, it must be payable to order or to bearer. thesn words of neg liability being necessary that the instrument may posses. that i qua'itE.

 4 note lacking the a0ove require ments of negotiabil.ty may still be d good contract enforceable between the original parties according to its terms. But if the note be not ne- E tiable and the man who made it has been swindled. he may make this defense against the person to whom he gave it.
 A person who intends to bind Il m- self by the note signs simply h s own name. But mistakes are made by agents who do not intend to bind themselves. personally, but only their i pI IliNl lpllS I'O HOl SlSH JOlln JOHtS, agent for Samuel Smith," for that will make John Jones personally liable; but sign Samuel Smith. by John Jones, Agent" A somewhat different rule prevails in the case of public officers for one acting in a public capacity may sign his own name as officer and bind his princi- pals and not himself
 The notes of corporations and partnerships are signed by an of f!cer or agent of the corporation or member of the partnership in the name of the company. A representa- tive or partner who is held out to the world as having authority to sign notes, may bind the company even though he may have exceeded l his authority So if you are a part ner, be cautious of the public auth ority that is given really or appar- ently, to a partner whom you do not trust absolutely.

White. of the White Horse Star tells of the stampede which he started in the klondke.
 It was like this:

The Man About
 own

Manager Bert Lang. of the Juven- ile Bostonians. has sense of hum which casual friends would never accuse him of. He can see thines at more dips and angles than any show man who has ever come North and is not backward about telling of the wonderful success of his com pany while playing in the Hub of Alaska. The following from the Juneau Dispatch will make good reading fir the people Outside when properly doped out to the advance agent:
 "A month ago today. on July 4th, the Juveniles were in Fairbanks. playing the most successful engage ment they have eyer played. Manag- er Bert Lang says:
 Rival creeks tried 10 get Us 10 play there. Ester creek did the thing up properly by buying every seat ill the Fairbanks opera house for one night, then locking the house tight. and transporting the whole C #mpany to the creek as the guest of the miners where the troupe sang a tune ful opera to the boys in gumboots. They served us with bacon and beans. and piled on all kinds of cheechaco trimmings, where they presented Us with all sorts Of souv- enirs from the dumps and sluce boxes.
 On one claim the owner gave the contents of a section of sluicebox to the girls and they banned the dirt, and made a rich cleanup. While they were banning l salted a tailing pile with phony nuggets of pyrites of iron which I got in Dawson from Tommy Firth, and then called George Bromley, the musical director. George fell for the game. and thought he was getting the real thing. Patsie Henry and Doris Garfield got tip on the strike, and stampeded. The three tore up 300 yards of tailings before they left, and each got handful of gold They still in sist it is the genuine article. but warn Juneau gold dust brokers against buying any dust from this trio.
 We also visited the experimental farm and saw the big turnips. the wheat and the hayseed in the mak- ing
 "On the Fourth Bee Myling rode a horse in the races, and won. Her nag fell in the third heat. but she escaped without scratch. and was awarded the prize. Stubby ran in foot race, and got the money.
 The story from Dawson that Stubby had lost her poke eff Klondike nuggets overheard when sailing touched the sympathy of the Panama miners and they made her up a purse of nuggets. One of the other girls nuggets also were in the purse and the loss hit both hard until the new paystreak began to yield.
 he merry-go- round at Fairbanks was without power, but when the Bostonians got aboard the long whisk- cred miners got in the harness and walked the sawdust ring for an hour, while the girls cheered the sourdough hearts with bright songs"
 The amount of talk about town regarding the Chisana the strike and the stampede reminds the Man About Town of the story that Stroller"

SUCCESSFUL FAIR
AT SFARCY CLOSES

Searcy, Oct. 4.-The third annual
White county fair closed yesterday at
the end of four successful days and
nights, which have marked on epoch
in the fair history of White county.
Exhibits in livestock, agricultural,
horticultural, girls canning clubs,
boys cotton clubs and ladies' depart
ments were the largest in the history
of the exposition. Racing this year
was far above the average, four pac-
ing and trotting races being given
daily in 1920 and 2:l2 time for a to-
tai purse of $3.50.
Brass bands from Judsonia and
Beebe assisted the Searcy band in
furnishing music for the four big
days. Weather has been ideal and
the attendance on the two last days
was estimated at 10000, as result
of reduced excursion rates on the NJ.
& N. A. and Rock Island railroads.

Camel PAGES FASTER
Than ORDINARY HORSE

Few people are aware of the fact
that swift camel can pace faster
than the ordinary race horse. The
Sells-Floto circus people did not even
know that themselves until one of
their men one day last winter hitched
Asia, the baby camel born to the
circus two years ago, to an ordinary
speeding wagon. 1t was a compare
lively easy task to break the little
fellow to harness and as the circus
was wintering at Overland Park at
Denver, he was logged around the
race-track.
1t soon became evident that "Asia"
was troubled with speed. In a coup
lie of weeks he could shuttle along be-
side the fast trotters when they were
jogging a pretty fair clip and one
day he was asked to go through the
stretch at speed. 1t is claimed by
those who saw the performance that
he completed the distance in thirty
six seconds, which is a 2:24 clip.
Just exactly what the limit if his
speed is, has not been ascertained,
because he is only two-year old
colt. He will be seen, however, both
in the parade and at each perform
ance of the Sells-Floto circus when
he will appear and give an exhibition
of his speed on the Hippodrome.
The Sells-Floto circus is billed to
visit Conway on Saturday, October
IL. The price of admission still re-
mains % cents. And there are seats
this year for over 10000.
