The Paying Teller
of a Bank Uses
His Experience

and skill in studying the signature
to a cheque presented at his coun-
ter for payment, but the moment
his decision is made he pays the
money instantly, without hesita-
ton, no matter how large the sum.
1t is a great thing to know how
to fix the mind squarely and
fully on the question presented,
involving large financial and
other responsibility, and act
without hesitation or wavering.
People who change their
minds" as they term it, form in
time habit that disqualifcs
them for business requiring de-
cisiveness and immediate action
such as stock brokerage, banking,
train masters and engineers.
A business man must have his
mind on his business and all his
knowledge and wit at instant COM
mand. The markets of the whole
world not given up, as some, are
at his command by cable every
hour of the day, when things come
to light as they do in this business.

asked to call on Captain A. N, Milnes,
chairman of the placement, committee,
lat Miners Employment Agency, 44G
Main street, El Centre, and receive a
very handsome service certificate, that
should be cared for as carefully as
their discharge papers.
They are asked to bring their dis

tificate is very valuable document
almost as valuable as the discharge
papers, and is something to frame
and hang in the parlor or den. All
other data copied from discharge
papers, with serial number, present
address, and permanent address will
be forwarded by Captain Miner to
Adjutant General J. J. Boree. All
this data will be filed and easily found
when it is needed.
If a service man should lose his
discharge papers, the service certif,-
cate becomes very valuable paper.
This is only another instance where
the government is trying to protect
service mems interests.
Two thousand certificates were re =
ceived this morning for distribution
free to all soldiers. sailors and mar
ines who served in the world war.

Judge Phil d. Swing. 1t is Judge
] SWing'st first murder trial siite his
appointment to the judicial bench

to make rulings on some highly tech
nical points.
Fletcher, heaVy-set negro, sat un-
moved during the day by the damag-
ing evidence introduced by the state
Testimony. of Coroner Peterson, dam
aging to the defense, failed to change
the expression on his face.
The state is represented by District
Attorney E. R. Simon, who is person
ally conducting the prosecution, and
he is being assisted by Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Charles Scott. Clar-
ence 3. Conlin is conducting the de-
fensa.
Testimony introduced early today
indicated that the line of defense will
be that the killing was accidental,
and that when Caver struck at Fletch-
er and Fletcher threw up his arm with
the knife in it. the DETECTION of the
blow caused the knife to sweep across
the throat.
The prosecution is endeavoring to
prove murder in the first degree.
The trial is by jury.
Expert testimony will be introduc-
ed by both sides regarding the tech
nical side of the blow, counter-blow
and glancing blow. The entire case
hinges about the blow. whether it was
accidental or not.
The defense maintains that while
Fletcher was whiting with his knife
when the argument came up, when
Caver made his lunge at him, it was
not natural for the knife to be drop
ped before the blow was parried.
The courtroom was thronged all
day, spectators standing crowded at
the rear of the seats. Trial will be
resumed tomorrow.
