Secretary COburn, Of the department
Of agriculture for Kansas, is elated be
cause Of the recognition Of Kansas hard
wheat and -four IN the European mar

some Of the northwestern millsrs widely
advertised that Kansas wheat was not
used IN the making Of their -four, leav-
ing the inference that Kansas Wheats,
being inferior, were not wanted
This, said Mr. COburn, was prob
ably inspired by jealousy because Of the

SMALL BILLS ARE scARcER
Dwindling in Number Of One and Two
Dollar Certificates Owing to Ex-
haustion Of Silver Bullion.

WaEhington.-The treasury depart
ment is having difficult time in filing
orders from national banks for one and
two-dollar bills. The volume Of free
currency Of these denominations has
been dwindling at a very rapid rate dur
ing the last four or Ave months, and 10
now SO small that 1t is necessary to limit
the number that may be doled out to the
banks.
The shortage Of money Is charged by
Treasurer Roberts against the exhsus-
ton Of the silver bullion. As is gsnsr-
ally known, silver certificates Of small
denominations are issued against coined
silver dollars, the latter being stored
away in the treasury vaults as gusran-
tee for the paper money. When CON-
gress stopped the purchase OF silver bull
zion for this purpose there remained in
the possession Of the government ire
mendous amount Of the uncHnsd metal.
This has been gradually used from
month to month since. but practically
the last bit of 1t was coined in February
OF this year, when the minis turned out
$4,000 standard silver dollars. That was
the last time any addition was made to
the volume Of circulating currency in
the most popular form Of money-ths
one and two-dollar bills.
At the beginning Of every days bust
ness Treasurer Roberts examines the re-
port Of the number OF free silver dollars
on hand. He then tells the cashier how
many silver certificates may be shipped
during the day. and this limit 10 rigidly
adhered to. It frequently happens that
national banks will have their applica-
lions for addition notes cut in half
Sometimes their demands are honored
In full.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF COUNTY
BLACKLIST FOR HOTEL MEN
Propristors Of Pennsylvania Hostel
ries Claim They Lose Heavily
from Dishonest Patrons.

acknowledgements for mu-
tual protection Of interests among the
hotel men Of the state were set on foot
ut special meeting of the Peunsyl-
yania State Hotel association in this
city recently.
Some Of the things 1t Is proposed to
institute are a blacklist for hotel
beats" another blacklist for dishonest
or drunken employees, and county asso-
Citations, similar to the state organiza-
ton, to look after local interests.
In the way of legislation it was de-
cided to prepare bill for presentation
to the state legislature which will pro-
vide for = uniform Interpretation Of the
license law in all counties of the state.
The decision to form blacklist OF
"dead-beat patrons" was the outcome
Of comparison of worthless checks
and drafts by the members. Every
man in the meeting had at least one
worthless check or draft that had been
passed on him by some one of his
guests.
Charles e. Federman, the secretary,
counted them all up and announced
that the hotel proprietors In the state
had been mulcted for more than $780,
600 by this kind of thieves In the last
year.
Federman was authorized to prepare
the system Of blacklisting. Each pro-
prietor who loses money by entertain
ing dishonest guest will at once
write, giving name and description OF
the man, to the secretary Of the asso-
citation, who will in turn notify every
other member Of the association.
II the swindler is caught he will b.
prosecuted at the expense Of the asso'
citation. The same method will be taker
in the case Of dishonest employer.
