IF YOU receive army or nnvy
1 allotment or allowance checks,
or social security or other govern
ment checks, here's advice about
taking care of them:
Do NOT endorse your check un
til you are In the presence of the
person you will ask to cash it.
If you endorse your check and
lay it aside nt home, not only may
it l>e stolen, but it may be lost. In
either case, stolen or lost, if It
bears your endorsement and is
cashed by some other person, you
will probably never be able to ob
tain the money represented by
that particular check. Your en
dorsement is genuine, and you
cannot make a claim that the
check was forged. If you make a
false claim against the govern
ment, you can be prosecuted in
the federal courts.
So keep your checks in n safe
place and wait until you go to
your bank, or to the store where
you get your checks cashed each
month, before you endorse them.
Remember—it's up to you to
protect that check!
In grafting fruit trees in the
spring, keep the grafting wax from
sticking to your hands by keeping
a piece of pork nnd handy and
rubbing your hands on it occasion

So Goes the Old Adone
Getting ready to perform his
final and greatest feat, the local
amateur magician stepped out to
the edge of the platform and said:
“For the purpose of my next
trick, which I assure you will be
a good one, will some gentleman
in the audience kindly lend me his
hat? Will you, sir?” he added per
suasively to a man in the front
row.
But the man in question clutched
his hat firmly with both hands and
shook his head.
“I will not,” he retorted indig
nantly, “not until you return the
lawnmower you borrowed last
summer.”
