Quick Changer
At six O'Clock Darwin Wolford
paced the floor while three secre-
taries with racing typewriters work.
ed on an indictment just eturned
by the grand jury. Darwin was
worried. He couldn't leave until
the indictment was ready and yet
he had ii preside at the Boys State
banquet at 7:30. Besides, he had
tc bring his son.
At $50 the perSpiration began to
pop up. At O'Clock it was defin-
jtely out and Darwin reached for
the phone. He called his wife in
Brawley:
Bring Dick and a clean shirt and
meet me in front Of the courthouse"
At 7:20 the indictments were re-
turned. At 7:21 Darwin was Trip
ping down the courthouse steps
and a minute later was doing
quick change into the clean shirt
in his car.

Hurry-Up Sale
Frank Smyer ran into a "buSl-
neSsman" the other day and came
within a watermelon of coming out
on the short end of city-slicker
deal.
Suddenly stricken with desire
to do his good deed for the day,
Frank moseyed down to where they
are loading watermelons in Ell Gen.
tro and gigged the boys for a
load of melons, intending to send
them out to the county farm. The
load of melons was set off to one
side while Frank stood around,
waiting for the county farm truck
to arrive.
Behind his back a small colored
boy was closing a deal, selling the
load to a pair of strangers! Frank
dust halted the transaction in time.
The Give-Away-
For some remote reason RR was
reminded of how the postman used
to whistle a CHEEKY note before he
delivered the mail each morning
and dropped some such remark. A
member of the staff volunteered:
"Our postman, Amos Chick, does
Mt whistle but we know he Is COM
ing when we hear his keys jan
Cling"
Close To Home
The sheriffs office couldn't have
been more surprised by any other
answer from the San Bernardino
office than they were by the reply
they did get concerning an "aban-
doned car" near a root beer stand
in Ell Centre. The Imperial county
office teletyped:
Gar registered to Mrs. Carl Ber-
thurum of San Berdoo abandoned
here"
San Berdoo teletyped back:
Keep your shirt on. Mrs. Ber-
thurum probably left her car there
while on a trip TO Oklahoma with
Mrs. j. D. Campbell of Ell Centro."
Campbell is an Ell Centro deputy
sheriff. He lives near the root beer
stand.

CASE is
DISMISSED ON PLEA
COST NOT EXCESSIVE

1he suit L. b. Miller, Jr.
brought against the state
board of examiners to prevent
the payment of a premium on
an insurance policy covering
about $lO,0O0,0 900 worth of state
owned property was dismissed
by Judge George w. Padubry,
Jr., of the Lewis and Clark
county district court when Mil
Ter admitted that the policy
could not have been purchased
for the price he quoted in his
complaint.
Members of the board of eX-
aminers recently cancelled a
policy with the Pearl Assurance
Company, Ltd, and bought a
new one from the same firm,
covering more than 100000 0O
IN state property for a premium
of IS cents for each $500 in in
Surance. The new policy was
approved by the new state in
surance commission, with State
Auditor John ]. Holmes, c:lalr~
man of the commission, not
attending the meeting.
Miller brought suit to prevent
payment of the policy's prem
lum, charging that the policy
could have been purchased for
"a cents per 500 in insurance.
His complaint alleged, in part,
that the state was paying SILL
900 more than necessary for the
insurance. Several major inSur-
ance companies announced later
that they could not sell such
a policy for "a cents per $500.
His Attorney, Harry Bennett
of Helena, read Miller's petit
ton to have the suit dismissed.
The petition, in part, follows:
subsequent to that time
bringing the suit we have
learned that the rate of 81
cents did not apply to the pres
ent state contract, due to the
endorsements to form which
had not been considered in the
64-cent rate.
Il take this opportunity of
correcting an erroneous impress
sion that may have arisen by
reason of filing of the COM
plant that either MIR. Miller or
myself in any manner intended
TO cause any reflection of any
kind or character on the Offic-
ials who were made parties de-
