ONE of the greatest problems the sound, conservative banker has
to deal with is the problem of overdrafts.
Ethically, an overdraft is obtaining money under false pretenses.
It means that you are fooling the person to whom you give the check.
You and you alone suffer, for every overdraft decreases your credit.
The man with a checking account is always respected, for peo
ple feel that he has capital backing him; the day he overdraws his
account, he weakens his credit—-with himself and with the person to
whom the check is issued.
« It is a very easy matter to keep a balance at all times to your
credit. Please do it. We don’t want to preach; this is more for
your own good than ours. Never issue a check without recording it
on the stub, and keep your balance figured at all times. We'll ap
precuite yo* '<o*operution in putting n permanent stop to over
drafts. Thank you!

Geo. J. Gardiner has resigned the
office of police judge. It is an office
that few men care to fill, as it is a
thankless task with nothing in it. It
has to be filled, however, and it should
be by some one who can temper jus

orcise mercy, and be inexorable to
outside influences when the wrong
doer is entitled to the limit of the law.

comes to meat there is lots of him,
with sand to back the flesh, so any
offender who gets funny will find him
a hard customer to handle.

A party consisting of Mr. and Mrs.
S. T. Larson, Miss Gladys Bell, Mrs.
McKeane and M. Dresser came In from
Rock Creek, B. C., Tuesday and re
mained over until Wednesday morn
ing. They were traveling In a new
fangled auto rig. The vehicle was In
the shape of a canopy top hack, the
bed high from the ground and light
wheels, supplied with gasoline motor
power. It was an odd looking craft,
but it got over ground with the ease
and rapidity of a regulation automo
bile.
W. H. Farrar, of Vancouver, B. C.,
delivered a lecture in the Lyric theater
Sunday evening, and notwithstanding
no charges were made for admittance
only a few were sufficiently interested
in the subject to turn out. That sub
ject was, “Where are the Dead?” It
Is said that the speaker is a fluent
talker, but whether he answered the
question to the satisfaction of his
audience is not known. It is a prob
lem that no one else has ever been
able to solve in a way to satisfy every
body.
COLIC I>' HORSES
The state agricultural experiment
station at Pullman has just issued the
following newspaper bulletin over the
signature of J. W. Kalkus, assistant
veterinarian:
Among the numerous aliments to
which horseflesh Is heir, the so-called
colics are probably the most common
at this season of the year. The term
colic has long been used to designate
an abdominal pain caused by some
disturbance of the stomach or intes
tines, and as these organs are quite
complicated in the horse, it Is obvious
that the word does not signify any
special disease. Many stockmen are
prone to think that all callus are
alike and many conclude that because
one horse recovers from an attack
without treatment, all other cases
have a like chance. This, however, Is
not the case, as the severity of an
attack depends largely on the variety
of colic and usually requires an ex
perienced man to make a differentia
tion.
The common cause of colic at this
season of the year Is the sudden
change from old to new hay. This Is
so' relished by the animal that the
stomach becomes overloaded, causing
a fermentation and reselling in a
distention of the stomach or intestines,
or both, by gas. This type of colic Is
one of the most dangerous and rapidly
fatal forms of the diseases known.
The construction of the stomach and
intestines is such that once distended
it Is impossible for the accumulated
gas to escape unless it is aided either
by the Introduction of a stomach tube
or trocar.
It is well to keep in mind that
horses are apt to overload on new hay
and every feeder should be very cau
tious and give only a small amount
at a time until the animals become
accustomed to the change. It is also
well to give every horse that receives
dry feed a bran mash, either wet or
dry, containing a handful of linseed
meal and a little salt, at least twice
weekly. Such slight precautions when
neglected often result in the loss of
a valuable horse.
The symptoms of colic are no doubt
familiar to all horse owners, although
the symptoms differ somewhat with
the various forms of the disease, they
may be summed up as follows:
Pain, which may come on suddenly
or gradually. If in harness the horse
goes "short,” gives way in the hind
quarters, stops, becomes restless,
paws the ground and stamps, shakes
himself, and can be prevented only
with difficulty from lying down. Later
on he often totters, groans, kicks with
the hind legs at the abdomen, looks
round at his hind quarters, whisks his
tail, stands over at the knees, arches
his back, stretches the head and neck,
and places the hind feet under the
body. As a rule, the animal lies down
very carefully and slowly, or makes
attempts to He down, but sometimes
may throw himself recklessly on the
ground. He may lie still or roll and
kick violently. He may sweat pro
fusely and bloat and die within four
or five hours from the outset.
During the onset of an attack of
colic it is well to give one quart of
raw linseed oil, to which has been
added one ounce of spirits of turpen
tine and two drams of fluid extract of
mix vomica. Feed should be entirely
withheld for at least twenty-four
hours, but allow plenty of water. If
bloat is excessive it should be prompt
ly relieved with a trocar by an ex
perienced hand.
WHERE WE FALL DOWN
An apology is due the many readers
of the Gazette in Loomis for tailing
to give a detailed report of the ten
nis tournament that was held in that
cami. Thursday, Friday and Saturday
n last week. Circumstances were
such that it was impossible for a rep
resentative of this paper to be pres
ent. but it was thought that arrange
ments had been made to get a - eport
of the games. However, basinets en
gagments prevented the gent’eman
v, ho was to hand in a report from do
'np so, and we are wholly ignorant of
Ihe results and the names of the sev
eral winners. It is known from gen
eral report that the tourney was a
great success in attendance and num
her of contests, the games were -lose
rnd exciting, and everybody, partici
pants and spectators, enjoyed the
event. There were entries from a
number of towns in the co mty, and
i!u visitors are warm in their praise
of the treatment received thr ) igh the
hands of the Loomis people.
TRINITY EPISCOPAL MISSION
(Rev. G. H. Severance, Missionary.)
There will be morning prayer and
sermon in the mission next Sunday
morning at eleven.
It is our intention to hold services
regularly in the mission three Sun
days each month. A cordial welcome
awaits everyone and especially strang
ers.
Joe Wolf again fell into the clutches
of the law Saturday. Probably it
would be more correct to say that he
had never entirely escaped said
clutches. Some time ago Joe was
pulled on a charge of selling licpior to
an Indian. His case was taken up
by the federal grand Jury, and it was
decided that it was not a case that
came under the Jurisdiction of th *
federal court, but one that should be
prosecuted by the state. The matter
thus rested until Saturday, when the
officers swooped down on Joseph and
took him in. He will either be cleared
or get his’n at the September term of
court, and if the evidence is convinc
ing he will no doubt get It hard, as
bootlegging is in much disrepute
nowadays.
