yODER FAILS TO
MAKE BANK PAY

Judgment was given in favor of
the State Bank of Hubbard in the
suit of Amos Yoder against the
bank, In which Yoder asked that
the bank pay him the sum Of
$1615, due to the fact that the
bank endorsed and cashed a check
payable to Amos Yoder, the bank
acting under the instructions of a
brother of Yoder.
The court held that Yoder in
accepting part of the money paid
for a farm sold by his brother,
had ratified his brothers act when
the bank was instructed to endorse
a check payable to Amos Yoder in
payment for the sale Of farm.
The court also held that the act OF
the bank was ratified when Amos
Yoder Instituted suit against the
bank.
The dispute arose from the fact
that Amos Yoder, living in mon
tana. had authorized his brother,
N. j. Yoder, to sell his farm near
Hubbard for not less than $4,000.
The farm was sold for $4,000 and
check in payment for the farm,
payable to Amos Yoder, was for
warded to N. j. Yoder In order
that a mortgage against the farm
might be paid off and the deal
closed, the brother, N. J. Yoder,
authorized the bank to endorse the
name OF Amos Yoder on the check
1t had formerly been agreed be-
tween the brother that N. J. Yoder
should close the deal.
The sale was closed in March oi
1921, and no action was taken by
Amos Yoder until June OF 1922.

Restaurant Men
Want Solons to
Eat Down Town

Local restaurant men who are
protesting the operation OF a res
taurant in the capitol building
during legislative session have
asked for a conference with Secre-
tary of State Kozer for this after
noon when the matter will be
threshed out.
The restaurant which was first
operated during the session Of
1921 was authorized by a senate
concurrent resolution passed by
the session of 1919 partly as a
protest against prices charged by
down town eating houses and part
ly as convenience to the legisla-
tors who object to trudging
through the rain for the six or
eight blocks necessary TO reach
the business section in order to
get bite to eat for lunch. 1t is
handled the same as other con-
cessions permitted in the capitol
building for the convenience OF
the legislators and their small
army Of assistants and involves
no expense to the state.
The restaurant will occupy
space in the basement OF the state
house and the concession has al
ready been granted to Levy Bal
mer and Johnny Jones, both Salem
men.
