A curious attempt to raise a 81 sill
yer certificate to the SIS denomination
was discovered the other day at a Bos-
ton bank. On the face Of the bill were
twenty-seven different places where
changes or deliberations had been
made, and on the reverse there were
fourteen more. No attempt had been
made TO change anything but the nu-
merals and the word "oDe" wherever
il occurred. First, the "ones" were
obliterated by erasure and then "V's"
were drawn in very fine tissue paper
and pasted on. About $40 worth of
labor must have been expended in the
preparation Of this clumsy 81 swim
die.

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

American agricultural implements
are imported into Mexico, at least
along the border, without competition
from abroad. Our manufacturers
have q clear field and a market to
themselves. In addition to this adj
vantage the demand for United States
agricultural machinery is steadily in
creasing. In the first place, imple-
ments for tilling the soil are better In
the United States than those made In
any other country. Our manufacture
ers have the advantage of quick trans
portation and moderate freight rates
and all agricultural implements
shipped into Mexico are entered free
of duty at the custom houses.

: The recent protest Of j. Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska, against the cut
ting of Christmas trees is warmly com

There were last year more tina 2O,-
900, 600 Of Christmas trees cut down
