Q STOP PAYMENT ORDER

Jim had sold his little business
and received a down payment of
81 900 in the form of a check drawn
by the purchaser ON Avenue bank
payable to Jim's order Jim indor-
sed the check to Bill, with whom he
had just signed contract on new
business venture, and mailed the
, check to Bill
Before the check was presented to
Avenue bank for payment, Jim de-
cided his contract with Bill was il
legal and unenforceable: So he re-
uested Avenue bank to stop payment
on the check. The bank refused I'M
less protected by bond of indem-
nifty.
Jim couldn't understand why he,
as payee of the check didn't have
full control over the matter of its
payment. Did the bank have a
right to refuse his stop payment or
der?
Yes, the payee or indorsee of
check generally has no right to stop
payment A check is an order of its
maker directed to a bank for the
payment of specified sum of mo-
ney 1t is in the power of the ma
ker to countermand that order at
any time before its acceptance by
the bank on which it is drawn But
+, in Jims case, he was not the max
er, Jim was hte payee, and this fact
alone was not sufficient to create
between him and Avenue bank the
same kind of contractual relation
ship as exists between the bank and
one of its depositors.
! If the bank complied with Jim's
request it would do so at the risk of
being sued by Bill, and the bank
was under no obligation to Jim to
assume such risk, especially since
Jim wasn't willing to furnish an in
demnity bond to the bank to protect
it against any loss it might suffer
for attempting to protect Jimfrom
the consequences of his own folly in
his dealings with Bill

Again, thank you for making this
wonderful trip possible I'm having
lot of fun here in Japan, and l
know it is because of your hard work
that I can visit the place where my
papa was born and where my mo-

At Tokushima, we had the warm
est reception we've ever had. Naoko
went to the Ohaka with relative as
soon as we landed on Shikoku. We
realized that the nice reception was
possible because of you and Mrs.
Mihara and We were very grateful
to you both. Tokushima was ve-
ry nice town The streets we're very
clean and big, so we felt like we
could breathe again after seeing the
small streets in the biggest cities.
The mayor was very nice to us and
really took good care of us all 1t
was sure fun staying at Tokushima.
We parted at Hiroshima as PLAN
ned and left each other very sadly.

An Editorial
Home Canning

ACCORDING TO surveys and gov
eminent analyses, approximately TO-
OOO, 900 homemakers, that is AZ per
cent of all homemakers, do home can
ming every year. Naturally in rural
areas the proportion of home canning
is greater-8O per cent is a conserva-
tive estimate.
The principal reasons given are first,
of course, economy, then convenience.
Some home-can to provide handy
supply or say food on hand gives them
a feeling of security; or simply like
to conserve fruits and vegetables grown
at home. Other reasons are preference
for the flavor of home canned foods;
special recipes, especially true of pic
kles and relishes; individual seasoning;
o family project tied in with garden
ing.
Even in these homes where there are
freezers, the freezer is often crowded
with meat, game, certain fruits or veg
etables and baked foods. Many house
wives like to can their special recipes
Of jams, pickles or mincemeat for hol-
iday gifts For others it is hobby
and they take lot of pride in having
full shelves of extra products for their
families.
Probably there are more tomatoes
home-canned than any other single
item, because they are easy to grow,
have special nutritional value and are
not adaptable for freezing. Other ia
vorites with the home Gamer are beets,
peaches, berries, apples and apple
sauce, pickles and relishes.
And most of all, there is something
about a cupboard stacked with cans of
fruits and vegetables she has done her
self that appeals to the thrifty house

MY WIFE and l have been leaders of
the Blue Ribbon Boosters All Club of
Red Lodge about eight years. Since we
believe that leadership is a very de-
Sirable asset for boys and girls to de-
velop, we use every opportunity in our
club work to promote this project. The
best way to achieve this is to have the
boys and girls take active part in
events and programs that come along.
One of the first things our club did
was to sponsor a square dance jam
boree. Some of the members called
squares at this jamboree. We used
money made at this function to pur-
Montana farmer-stockman., 1954-06-01

to do some preliminary planning of
menus for a week or so at time AS
all housewives know, this is no easy
job in these busy days.
For my part, when l bake I usually
do in quantity lots and freeze some.
Pies, cakes. cookies, rolls and bread,
I find, are excellent items for freezing
before using. No matter if it's for
lunches, special holidays, parties or the
unexpected company one has during
the week. Sandwiches are another item
that freezes well and saves time when
a supply is frozen.
When I buy ice cream like to have

work are very important Keeping ac-
curate records and carrying project
through from beginning to end are es-
Sential. Things of this sort make good
training and will come in handy as
these boys and girls take their places
as citizens of tomorrow.
Our club has had its share of honors,
made possible by the good cooperation
of members and their parents, and be-
cause Mrs. Zook gave untiring effort
to see that events the club participated
in were well rehearsed and was quick
to take advantage of the opportunity
to make use of the clubs talents, as
well as keeping an eye on records.

a variety, but for ecOnomy's sake
buy the or 5-gallon lots of vanilla
and then vary it by adding sauce later.
Our meat is always packaged in COM
pany sizes. Then if have any leftoverS
they do up well into sandwiches. One
time saver when freezing meat l like
and recommend is taking time to cut
your fryers into serving pieces before
freezing. Another is separating meat
patties, fish, pork chops and liver
slices with butter paper or foil before
freezing.
AS the freezer begins to empty I make
use of the extra space by freezing
blocks of ice in bread pans for future
picnicS or water jugs for the field.
Fruits and Vegetables
OF course there's no end to the va
riety of fruits and vegetables you can
put into one.
When preparing for the holidays I

When we moved into our new home

to moving in the freezer. You may be
