WHERE THE MONEY IS ENGRAVED.

the country must have what it wants
in the way Of currency, and when this
old money is sent in for redemption
it is not wise to delay getting out the
new money to replace it.
1.-THE national banks of the country
are increasing their circulation at d
remarkable rate. During this last year
this increase has been about S60,000,OOO
and many of the banks have had to
wait much longer than prudent to OBJ
tain their circulation. These delays
tie up the circulating medium. There
were recently 11S banks GA the list
waiting for new currency. This IN
creased growth of the circulation out
standing of national banks represents
the normal growth of the country"
Plans are being considered at Wash
ington for the extension and enlarge
ment of the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, where all of Uncle Sans
money is manufactured.

JAPANESE TEACH RUSSIANS.
Remarkable Incidents Connected
with the Last War.

War and peace are strange bed
fellows, for over in Japan, the land of
the rising sun, the japanese readily
mixed the two arts in a fashion totally
unexpected. The Japs had coralled
at Himeju somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 10000 Russian prisoners, most
ly from Port Arthur,probably 10000
of whom were illiterate. A we'll
known writer in commenting on the
success of the japanese arms brings
out into the light the secret of Japan's
strength. 1t is in just one thing, the
men have mental as well as physical
training. The majority of 1,lppons
soldiers have received education in

Bureau of Animal Industry.

DIR. ID. r. Salmon, who has recently
resigned as chief of the Bureau of An
imal Industry of the Departmnt of Ag-
riculture, has held that position for
over twenty years and has done some
of the best work which has been ac-
complished in that department. Under
his direction and supervision the sys-
tenn of inspection of slaughtered meats
intended for interstate shipment and
export has been brought to high state
of perfection until American meats
which are received abroad with the
official tag from the Bureau of Animal
Industry are assured as good.
The integrity of the American mer-
chant or shipper may be as high as
that Of the merchants of any other ma
ton, but it is nevertheless fact
that without some such supervisory ac-
ton on the part of the government,
the foreign market would soon be COM
pletely killed by INSCRIPTIONS dealers,
and it Is believed that the inspection
system of the department has done and
is doing more to build up American
trade abroad for agricultural products
than any other work.
inspection of Dairy Products.
a very important branch of the Ru-
reau of Animal Industry is the dairy
division, and of late years government
inspection and regulation, to some ex-
tent, has been extended to dairy pro-
ducts. Congress recently passed law
authorizing the Department to inspect
butter shipped abroad, and further
to supervise and practically compel
creamer1es and renovated butter estab-
lishments to adopt cleanly and SAM
tary methods.
DR.. Salmon resigned, presumably, on
account of the charges made against
him by reason of his connection with a
private corporation supplying tags and
labels to the bureau of which he was
chief. After an exhaustive investi
cation by the Department of JUS
tice, Secretary Wilson exonerated DIR.
Salmon from any wrong doing in this
connection, but, either he himself de-
sired to sever his connection with the
government, or it was thought advis-
able to ask his resignation and later
appoint new man not connected with
such charges.
DR.. A. ID. Melvin, an assistant in the
bureau, has been placed in charge and
may become the permanent chief.

Orange Tree Foe.

The Department of Agriculture has
received a report from an agent In
Mexico stating that in six and perhaps
more states in Mexico he has found
traces of the orange maggot, which is
dreaded foe of oranges, and it is
feared that this condition might per-
NIT of its entry into California.
The Mexicans in attempting to Grad
icate the maggot have destroyed thou
sands of orange and mango trees
The multiplication of the orange mag
got is said to be something enormous.

The Government Cannot Print It

Tighten the Russian prisoners, the gov
erment of Japan established in the
prison at Himeju a school wherein
was taught to the illiterate Russians
their own language. Strange as this
may seem this fact has been brought
out by a short article in the Japan
Daily Times in which appears the
statement: "Thanks to the teaching,
those soldiers who were totally Hitter
ate are now able to write letters to
their homes. Tt is stated that the
authorities of the quarters received
inquiries from Russia asking If the
letters were really written by the
senders."
Credit Due Japan.
This, one of the most unusual events
ever produced by war, is as much to
Jaran's credit, as it is valuable to
the poor Russian peasantry. The
Kobe Daily News has been issuing
an illustrated weekly for the Russian
prisoners. The first issue of the sheet
called "Japan and Russia" contained
over twenty excellent Photographic
Illustrations. This paper in introduce
