BRIEF BUSINESS LAWS
If a note is lost or stolen it
does not release the maker; he
most pay it if consideration for
which it was given and the
amount can be proven.
Notes bear interest only when
so stated.
Principals are responsible for
the acts of their agents.
Each individual in a partner-
ship is responsible for all the
debts of the firm except in the
case of a special partnership.
The Avord “limit” in connec-
tion Avith firm names indicates
a limitation limitation of respon-
sibility for each member.
Ignorance of the law excuses
no one.
An argeement without consid-
eration of value is void.
A note made on Sunday, or one
dated ahead of its issue is void,
but may be dated back.
Contracts made on Sunday
cannot be enforced.
A note made by a minor is
void in some states and is void-
able on judicial decision in oth-
ers.
A contract Avith a minor or
lunatic is void.
A note obtained by fraud
given by an intoxicated person
cannot be collected.
It is fraud to conceal a fraud.
Signatures with a lead pencil
are good in law.
The acts of one partner bind
the others.
“Value received” should be
written in a note.
The maker of an “accommo-
dation” bill or note (one for
Avhich he has received no consid-
eration) having lent his name or
credit for the benefit of the hold-
er, is not bound to the person ac-
commodated, but is bound to all
other parties, precisely as if there
were a good consideration.
A consideration is not suf-
ficient in laAV if it is illegal in
its nature.
Checks or drafts must be pre
sented for payment without un-
reasonable delay.
An indorser has a right of ac-
tion against all whose names
Avere on the bill Avhen he received
it.
If a letter containing notice of
protest of non-payment be put
into the Postoffice, any miscar-
a riage does not affect the party
giving notice.
Notice of protest must be
sent either to the place of busi-
ness or residence of the party no-
tified.—Exchange.
AMERICANS LIVING LONGER
In 1900 this country had 3,504
persons Avho had lived 100 years
or more. The next census shoAved
a slight increase.
But betAveen 1910 and 1920 the
number of centenarians jumped
to 4,276.
From 1880 to 1920 the popula-
tion of the U. S. doubled, but
the number of persons over 65
years of age almost tripled.
An American citizen’s chances
for a long life are improving
with each decade, but are im-
proving faster for the Avoman cit-
izen.
A statistician finds there are
five Avomen centenarians for ev-
ery three men of 100, and that
this ratio seldom varies—not-
withstanding Avoman’s reluctance
to admit her age up to about 80.
After all, it may be an element
of spite in the boll weevil, laying
down on the job this year as he
has. Look at the price of cottoon.
If the Aveevils had been active as
in former years and destroyed,
say half this year’s crop, think
of the big money the other half
Avould have brought on the mar-
ket.—Exchange.
RADIO WISE
A Sunday School teacher was
having the class of small girls
recite the names of the books in
the Old Testament and they had
gotten as far as Amps.
“What comes after Amos?”
she asked.
“I knoAv,” spoke up an exeited
little girl, “Andy.”

HEAVEN!
A toAvn in which there Avill be
no bootlegging, no gambling, no
vice, no filth, no unsightly bill-
boards, njo uncollected garbage,
no disorder, is being built on the
banks of the Colorado river. It
is the toAvn which will be occu-
pied for seven or eight years by
the engineers and laborers en-
gaged in the building of the
Boulder Dam. It has been
planned and designed by the
U. S. Engineers Avho Avill admin-
ister the neAv toAvn and control
the conduct of its inhabitants.
Those employed on the Bould-
er Dam job who don’t like to be
restricted in their hours off duty
can live somewhere else if they
choose. Most of the ten or twelve
thousand men Avho will he em-
ploye d„-.qn the dam, hoAvever,
will live in this new toAvn, Avhich
has not been named yet.
The name of “Heaven” hasn’t
been suggested for it, but peo-
ple’s ideas of Heaven differ so
from each other that not all will
agree as to the appropriateness
of that title.
