Helped Cure Him?
You’ve heard much about the en
! thusiasm of the amateur radio
! operators, haven't you? Well, listen
to this.
A well known Augustan’s son has
built a receiving set that works very
nicely. The w-k-a has taken great
interest in the plant and seven eve-*
nings a week is his average home lis
tening to the wonderful1 things that
come through the air from hundreds
| of miles away.
! He was recently confined to his
home by sickness, in fact confined to
his bed. But he wasn’t so sick that
he lost Interest in the radio. Oh, no!
Quite the opposite. He had an ex
tension wire run to his bedside and
listened to everything coming
through the air, day and night—and
began to recover.
So well did the treatment work,
that he is back at his desk.

Cannot Carry On
Business in Maine
Bangor, Me., Mar. 10—The law
court Thursday handed down a re
script In the Androscoggin county
case of Frank L. Palmer, bank com
missioner in equity, vs. the Mutual
Construction company, et ais., sus
taining the bill with a single bill of
costs and issuing a permanent^in
junction against both defendants.
The rescript which was drawn by
Chief Justice Leslie C. Cornish of
Augusta, is as follows:
Section 120 of Chapter S2 of the
Revised Statutes provides that no
person, association or corporation
shall carry on the business of ac
cumulating and loaning or investing
the savings of its members or of
other persons in the manner of loan
and building associations or carrjl on
any business similar thereto within
she State unless incorporated under
the laws thereof for such purpose.
In a bill in equity asking for an
injunction brought by the bank com
missioner under Section 122 against
a corporation incorporated in New
Hampshire but doing business in
this State without a license and also
against its general agent, it is held
as follows:
1. That the principal object of a
loan and building association is to
create a loan fund for the benefit of
its borrowing members, the under
ling idea being that by means of the
system of small periodical payments
people of limited means will be en
abled to become the owners of
homes, and thrift, economy and good
citizenship will thereby be created.
2. In its dominant features, its
purpose, its mutuality, membership
payments and loans, the defendant
corporation is carrying on a business
similar to that of a loan and build
ing association in this State.
In some minor details of mech
anism the company may differ some
what from the ordinary loan and
building association, but in the es
sentials it is carrying on a similar if
not the same business. It is effecting
the same purpose in substantially the
same manner.
Two Interesting Rescripts
The following interesting and self
explanatory rescripts have been
handed down from the law court, the
work of Chief Justice Cornish:
LEGAL DELIVERY OF DEED
Harriet May Tripp vs. Annie Mc
Curdy. Rescript. Cornish, C. J.—
1. The question of the legal de
livery of a deed depends upon two
tacts, the act done and the purpose
with which it is done. Manual trans
fer without intending to pass the
title, and the intent' without con
summation ore equally futile.
2. Delivery to a third person for
the grantee without any reservation
by the grantor of a right to recall
it is sufficient in law and effects a
complete transfer of the title to the
property.
2. Delivery to a third person may
be sufficient although no prior au
thority had been given by the
grantee to receive the deed, when the
grantee subsequently assents; and as
the deed is for the benefit of the
gra#tee such assent will be prima
presumed.
4. Whether or not delivery to a
third person is absolute and irre'o
cable or qualified and rovocab'e de
pends in the first instance upon the
intention of the grantor, and that is
Men's U. S. R. Co.

to be gleaned- from his words and
acts at the time, the attendant cir
cumstances and from his subsequent
1 _
conduct.
5. Every word and act of the
grantor, who has since died, are con
sistent with an absolute and unquali
fied delivery in the case at bar.
6. The fact that the third party
was the attorney who drew the deed
and had previously drafted certain
wills for the grantor does not Change
the situation. If the grantor desired
him to hold the deed for the use and
benefit of the grantee and to deliver
it to her as requested, there Is no
rule of law to prevent. That he did
so desire is absolutely proved.
Judgment for plaintiff.
INDORSERS NOT HELD
John Ingalls vs. Herbert L. Marston,
et als.
Rescript, Cornish, C. J. In an ac
tion on a promisory note it is held:
1. Prior to the enactment of the
Uniform Negotiable Instrument Act,
Public Laws 1917, Chapter 257, the
law was firmly settled in this State
by judicial decision that one who j
j signed his name on the back of a ■
i note at its inception was a Joint or |
joint and several maker with one j
who signed the face, so far as the |
necessity for demand and notice of
non-payment was concerned. He was
not regarded as an Indorser.
2. Under section 63 of the Nego
tiable Instrument Act however such
signer becomes an indorser unless he
Indicated by appropriate words his
intention to be bound in some other
capacity. No such intention was in
dicated in the case at bar.
3. Whether one be an irregular
indorser under section 64, or a regu
i lar indorser under 6G, he is entitled
| to have due demand made upon the
• maker and due notice of dishonor
[ given to himself. i
4. No such demand was made or
notice given in this case, and the
| ruling of the presiding Justice in
1 favor of such indorsers was without
error.
Exceptions overruled.

ished to find that his clinical ther- i
mometer recorded a temperature of j
112 degrees, but thinking that the }

reciuisitioned two others only to find J
that they both recorded the same |
high point.

about, and slie is now slated to be in ;
perfect health. j
