into consideration, the record

large corps of stenographers to
keep track of today's reports
from Missouri Valley. After
an expenditure OF a consider
able sum, the young men of the
city who were indebted to the
young ladies for the recent
dancing party, had perfected
most elaborate plans for the
entertainment of the young
ladies at the fair grounds

was secured and the entire in
terror of the pavilion trans
formed into a bower of beauty.
A summer pavilion is not in

wrought. The party will be
held at the old opera house this

Modern Economy.

Talk about the economical
Mr.. Crouch. The management
of some department of the Chi
cago & North Western railroad,
which system earned S46,644,-
l21.49 during the last fiscal
year, has Mr.. Crouch skinned a
mile.
For the past several months
the business men of Missouri
Valley have been trying to in
duce the Company to install a
phone at the freight depot.
Numerous petitions generally
signed by the business men
have gone to headquarters but
to no avail.
When the present owners of
the Missouri Valley telephone
system bought out the Robin
son interests, it was stipulated
that Mr.. Robinson, local ticket
agent for the North Western,
was to receive telephone SER
vice free OF charge at his office.
In some way the manage
ment of the North Western
learned of this fact and immed-
lately decided on what they
evidently termed a shrewd
move. A force of men is now
busy constructing a private
telephone line between the
freight depot and the ticket
office, and after today when
you have business with the
freight house all you will have
to DO is to call up MIR. Robinson
over his free phone and tell
him what your business is with
the freight depot. Then he
will call up the freight depot
and after receiving areply will
call you up. If Mr.. Robinson
happens to be out of the office
or very busy and cannot answer
the phone, all you will have to
do is to walk down. to the
freight house, as you have been
doing for 10 these many years.
But cheer up, the Company is
saving $500 per month.

Joseph Kilgour Company Makes
 Strong Presentation of Frou-Frou.
 The performance last night of the Joseph Kilgour Stock Company at the Casino Theatre came in the nature of a surprise to its patrons. Instead of the usual light style of entertainment generally dished out at summer theatres. they witnessed in the Kilgour Company's performance of 'Frou Frou'a production equal to many of those presented during the winter in more pretentious playhouses and at regu- lation prices.
 The female portion of the cast is per haps the strongest. Miss Nora O'Bren in the title role is equally good whether she portrays the heroine as the artless girl. the frivolous society woman, or the erring wife. The character role of Frou- Frou gives her excellent opportunity to show her versatility. In addition, she pos sesses an attractive personal appearance. Helen Ford. as the sister of "Frou Frou," and Grace Gibbons as her friend, are also excellent.
 MT. Joseph Kilgour gives fine presen- tation of the Her De Sartorys, the up- right, conscientious husband of the erring heroine, and Ernest C. Joy, as her fla ther, was also good.
 MT. Kilgour was James ONeil's leading support in The Manxman" last year, and is we'll remembered in Montgomery. 9th CT members of the cast are actors in Froh- mans companies.
 The play now being presented is a French society drama with a tragic end ending, and is familiar to many play goers. Later in the week, a comedy. The Late MT. Brown" will be given

 Half a dozen hired laborers earning about $50 a month each. from the Traesu- " Department destroy every day in the neighborhood of a million and half dol- lars. They work in the basement of the big treasury building, and their princi- pal duty is to carry boxes full of paper dollars, lives, tens and twenties, and dump them into a giant mascerator, where sharp knives cut them into tiny shreds until they are reduced to watery pulp. ',.,...... ....
 The destruction of paper currency Is part of the Aladdin-like process by which the government gives out new money for old. Any person presenting a tattered and wornout bank note at the Treasury Department will receive for 1t a crisp note that has never been folded. The same exchange may be made, even If the note has been torn into bits, providing that all the pieces are presented. -..
 It keeps comparatively large force of men constantly at work to attend to the destruction of notes that come into the Department in a worn-out condition. A regular routine is observed for getting rid of paper that has been condemned and the strictest sort of rules are enforced to prevent frauds and losses.
 The average life of a treatury or bank note Is from three to four years. In times or business property, when money passes from hand to hand more freely than in dull seasons, a note will have outiived its usefulness in a shorter period, but ordinarily when a piece of paper money leaves the treasury 1t stays out in circulation for three or four years.
 When it begins to get dirty looking and frayed about the edges 1t is sent by some bank to the Department for rGemption. If 1t happens to be a national bank note 1t is thrown aside. for the redemption of natioal bank notes is conducted separate ly from that of regular Treasury notes.
 There Is always on duty at the Depart ment an agent of the national banks, who keeps tab on the notes of hls clients that are set aside for redemption.
