XMAS CLUB IDEA
COMES TO YALE
Will Be In Charge Of The First
National Bank

The Christmas Club idea is new here
and the First National Bank is the
first to take advantage of this novel
savings plan. 1t is an easy way to get
Christmas money and a sure way to
have it. Anyone can become men,
Der, it costs nothing to join, Just go to
the First National and if you do not
fully understand the idea the officers
will gladly explain all the details.
There are six different plans of pay
ment. The first where you pay two
cents the first week, four cents the next
week and add two cents to each sue
ceeding weeks payment. Then there
is the five cents week payment, adding
five cents to each weeks payment. You
can pay fifty cents straight each week
or dollar week.
At the end of fifty weeks or about
two weeks before Christmas you will
receive every cent you deposited plus
the regular interest providing your pay
ments are made promptly.
That is all there is to it, it is simple
and it is easy, nor red tape or condit'
ions. The majority of the members
will have money at Christmas and they
will hardly know where it came from
because small amounts accumulate
rapidly in spite of you.
Are you going to be ahead at the end
of the year or are you going to be just
where you startedy DO you spend all
that you earn, or do you lay aside a
little each week? This Christmas
savings club offers you big opportun-
ity, regardless of your earnings, and alb
solutely proves to you that you can save
a goodly sum in a short time by mere
ly depostins few cents in the bank
each week. We all know how hard it
is around Christmas time to remember
all our friends and relatives. These
are the things that make Christmas a
happy and joyful time of the year.
You can enjoy Christmas to the utmost
if you will join the Christmas savings
club which is now forming at the First
National Bank.
Try this year and you will be among
the first to join next years club. Go to
the bank and join. Get your book
one has already been laid aside for you.

Judge Mccarthy issued writ by
which the money was retained in Mr..
Hawley's hands until Judge Mccarthy
could nass upon the law as to whether
a lien could lie AGAINST JUDGMENT for
the state. When that point of law
cison Judge Mccarthy rendered the
in the hands of the surety company
had been performed by him for the
valid lien against the judgment, upon
the proposition of the law that the
state cannot be sued. The case was
cision by Mr.. Coffin to the supreme
now only upon the law point, as to
whether Judge Mccarthy was right in
determining that the lien could not lie
against the Judgment. If the supreme
court shall hold with Judge Mccarthy,

At no time it will be seen, has the

X POLITICAL NOTES. >
4 Il Il Il 4 \ 4 Il Il \

Please don't criticize the Demo-
cratic party 1t hurts and embarrasses
them to refer to their violated plat
form pledges.
The Democrat politicians claim the
right to criticize is vested in them
selves-but claim that all persons are
outlaws and immoral who criticize
them So the kings of Europe once
claimed and got bv with it for many
years, until the people got wise.
Have YOU observed that just before
adjourning and. just before election,
the Democratic congress repealed the
stamp tax. That is for the purpose OF
catching votes--a nice. soothing opiatc
preparatory to the big operation in
November.
Let us all help the Democrats to
keep theid pledge of 1912, that the
Democratic president shall have but
one term-by voting for Hughes.
Deliver US from the second coming
of Moses (Alexander)-that modest,
unassuming statesman-who speaks
of himself as THE Governor of Ida
ho," who advertised for votes as he
does for business-who plasters the
state with circus posters for himself,
as he plasters barns and bill boards
with advertisement of mems cloths.
Truly it pays to advertise ones goods
but is it hot hunliliating to citizens
who respect their state?
When S. D. Simpson was pardoned,
the present national administration
did an objectionable thing in setting
aside the findings of Federal jury
without Just cause.
The south is in the saddle with the
present national administration. If
you don't believe it, read up on COM
mite heads in congress and look up
the state of the cabinet officers.
Wonder il Alexander knew when he
publicly advertised that he had offered
his son to the militia that the son
could not pass the medical examina-
ton. We do not hear him say that his
son did not go to the border.
So Wilson kept us out Of war. did
| he? What war? We could not fight
Germany, because Germany can not
get across the ocean. 1t is not con-
tended that war with England or
France threatened. And who is there
to fight in Mexico but half civilized
nation without money or army?
One may get through life without
standing for your rights, but you will
be sure to get your nose pulled and
your face slapped. OF course it would
not be manly or honorable. but what
is manhood and honor as compared
with peace and animal safety?
| Suit has been filed against w. T.
Dougherty. Democratic candidate fol
secretary of state, calling for writ oil
mandate to compel him to allow the
taxpayers of the Richfield Highway
District to examine and audit his
books.
1t is stated that Dougherty has beer

to Coffin for his services for the state.
Mr.. Peterson stated that Mr.. Coffin
had been seven months in the en-
ploy of the state since the time he had
resigned as assistant in his office and
that during the month of February,
while Mr. Peterson was in Washing
ton, Mr. Coffin had been paid one
months salary at $3.50, as an assistant
in the attorney generals office.
A tentative offer was agreed upon
by the governor, attorney general and
myself, that six months service should
be agreed upon and that Mr.. Coffin
should be paid at the rate of $3.50 per
month for his services. Mr.. Peterson
stating that three months in the Allen
case and three months services in the
foreclosure proceedings would be a
proper amount to paw him. Mr.. Peter
son later informed the governor and
me that Mr.. Coffin would accept $3.50
for his services in the foreclosure pro-
ceedings but refused to accept $3.50
for his services in the Allen case. A
voucher was drawn by Attorney Cen
eral Peterson wordcd as follows:
Services in attorney generals office
instituting foreclosure actions detailed
on list herewith attached, $3.50 Op-
posite the items on ''list attached"
there were no amounts of fees in
serted When this voucher was pre-
sented to Governor Alexander and me,
I'VE asked that the attorney general in
sert upon the voucher: "Three months
service at $3.50 per month"; which was
done. Governor Alexander signed the
voucher upon its back. as member of
the board of examiners, as did |. At
that time the voucher was not backed
against the i per cent farm loan fund
of the land department. Governor
Alexander put the voucher in his
pocket and said that we had heard
enough of the Coffin case for awhile
and that the bill would be allowed
after the primary election.
NOTHING more was heard of the
Coffin claim of $3.50 until on Tuesday,
September 10Th, when Mr.. Coffin ap-
pcared at the auditors office and
asked for meeting of the land board
to take up the payment of his claim in
the foreclosure proceedings. Miss
Mccoy was called in and all members
of the land board were then present.
Mr.. Coffin presented voucher for
fees and had appended a list of the
mortgage foreclosures with a detailed
account which with subtraction at
the bottom made the sum of $3.50. He
