land, in the case in which the surety
company is being sued b. the Great
Falls Mill and Smeltermen Union for
$1,36O.35, will be held before District

capacity to sue.

to recover the $1,36O.35, alleged to
have been embezzled by Amos T.

of the smeltermen's organization. At
the time of the alleged defalcation,
Woodruff was handling the finances
under a surety bond executed by the
Fidelity and Trust Co. The union
seeks to have the Maryland company
held responsible for the alleged short
age. W. NJ. Crowley, Olaf Olson and

this benefit to the community as he
made trip to Washington this sum-

Gently inherited a large fortune from
an uncle in Argentina, in hopes Of
achieving a more elevated position in
Great Falls society.
An automobile dealer testified that
Jorgenson had come to him with pro-
posal to buy $500 machine and had
endeavored to cinch the transaction by
impersonating two bank officials over
the telephone. This scheme was de-
tected by later conversation with the
bankers. Jorgenson had stated he in
tended to drive several Of his relatives
to New York, where. they would ship
the machine, and sail for Europe for
a tour Of battlefields in France, the
dealer said.
Jorgenson admitted writing several
checks Of large denomination and when

by disagreeable results. he said he could
see no harm. inasmuch as he had not
attempted to cash them. He wrote

claims Of the fortune received from

hard working, God fearing boys; boys who have
been taught to think with their brains as well as
to work with their hand. Give the crop fair
chance
Cultivate the boy. Let the dew of encourage
ment and appre citation fall on him and then watch
him grow. Never give the hired man new shin
ing sharp hoe and then give the boy some old stub
of dog cared hoe and then expect him to keep

When the boy is small give him chance to make
his own decisions when possible. Why command

What Do You Weigh?

In many public places we sign, 'Did You
WEIGH Yourself Today" So, we are minded to
ask. s.Have you weighed yourself today in relation
TO your Job and if so how did you size up with
the requrments?
The story of any successful man life is the story
of any development courage, industry enthus-
iasm. patience determination. 1t is entiry and
up to you whether you will remain follower or
become a leader, whether you will be mental
cripple or an intellectual giant,
Every position presents numerous opportunities
for personal development, and the material with
which men may develop. lightweight is all
in his own class, but he seldom does anything out
side of it. Even in his proper division, light
weight is seldom successful unless he carries
good stout punch in either glove. Onthe other
hand q man may weigh few hundred pounds
physically and still be interesting than
important.
OF course employers feel an interest in the style
of clothes man wears and his ability as social
mixer, but the big thing which overshadows the
rest, is this: How much do you weigh mentally?
Have you initiative and ability, vision, magma
ton nerve. Have plenty of "Pep'? Do you
try to do little more and little better work to-
day than you did yesterday or last week? Or,
do you continually "shoot at the clock, " kill time
watch the man in the front office worry about
the heat and do just enough work to get by? Are
you an lS-karat staller, or quick thinking, rap
id moving live wire? Weigh yourself.
At the risk of being right, we call the attention
of every man to this sentence of sound logic:
The fellow who never does any more than he
is paid for, seldom gets paid for more than he

have raised nearly 100000 more than we thought
possible, and in vie v Of the fact that money is
