THEBILL WASRAISED.
One Dollar Certificate Metamorphosed
Into Five Taken In by POST
master Cordiner.
Evidently Raised by an Amateur
Bill Passes Through Hands of
Innocent Parties.

On Monday evening Postmaster
Cordiner, in the usual course of his
duties, received in payment for stamps
a fve-dollar bill and returned to the
purchaser the required amount of
change. There is in this nothing un-
usual, but upon examination of the
bill the next morning Mr.. Cordiner
found that it had been raised from a
one-dollar denomination to five.
He, however, remembered from whom
he had received the note and immedi-
ately sought the person out. Mr..
Kettelhodt, the presenter, upon being
approached by Mr.. Cordiner, did not
deny passing the money, but said he
supposed it to be genuine. Upon be-
ing told that it was raised, however,
he took the bill back and gave Mr..
Cordiner SIS in silver. He (Kettel-
hodt) then proceeded to hunt up the
man from whom he had received it
and apparently found but little diff
Guilty in finding him. When told that
the bill was raised he appeared much
surprised, but gave Mr.. Kettelhodt
five dollars in exchange for it, saying
he had received it from a bank.
However this may be the honesty of
the two parties concerned is beyond
dispute. They were merely innocent
handlers of the paper. There is a
possibility, however, that the original
presenter was mistaken as to the party
from whom he received the bill, as the
clumsiness with which it was raised
would hardly, we think, pass unde-
tected at any banking institution. The
work looks like that of an amateur
who is just starting out to learn the
art of bank-note reconstruction. Still
it might pass undetected through the
hands of many persons who in the
rush of business fail to carefully ex-
anime the paper money handled.

Training for Citizenship.

The proposition to establish in
Brooklyn school for boys, in which,
for the sake of development of indi-
viduality, there will be no rules of
conduct, has found many champions,
says the Chicago Journal. Spacious
arguments have sprung up from all
sections of the country against the dis
ciplining of boys and the holding Of
them all after one model. Genius, it
is claimed, is strangled, and talents
are all turned into the beaten ruts
Millions, it is argued, are turned into
the broad and crowded channels of
commonplace, and only the few are
able to survive the belittling influ-
ences and do things worth while. It
is a very alluring theory and all who
believe in it must indorse the policy
of the proposed Brooklyn school in
which every boy will be left at liberty
to do absolutely as he pleases. But
there is an antagonistic theory extant,
and its most prominent advocate at
the present moment is Postmaster
General Cortelyou. who in a speech
at a little school at Nazareth, Pa,
the other day, said: eff my boy
should leave school with his head full
of history, grammar and the classics
and modern languages, and all the
other studies of the curriculum, and
yet should not have it in his heart to
yield willing obedience to law-the
law of the school, the law of the state
and of the nation-I should feel that
his time had been thrown away. We
need in all our schools insistence
upon obedience to proper authority,
g III t;ii1esezz boys of today are the citi-
zens OF tomorrow, and everywhere
throughout the length and breadth of
the land we must have more prompt
and willing obedience to law" Here
is different theory, indeed! It is
not original or new, but it cannot be
impressed too often. These words are
of business wisdom and of statesman
ship. If Cortelyou had wanted illus
trations of the evils that come from
disregard of law he could have found
them in any community where an
apathetic and Indifferent public per-
mits systematic and constant ignor-
ing of law. Disobedience to law and
disrespect for it is particularly de-
moralizing in this country, for the
people make their own laws, and when
they kick them aside unceremoniously
they belittle their own institutions and
methods. Nowhere else in the world
is regard for law SO important as in a
republic, for the very nation itself rests
upon that basis alone.

Keeping Cool.

A man hard at work under broil-
ing sun may consider it folly to talk
about keeping cool. Nevertheless
bodily temperature may be regulated
by attention to diet and the cutting
out OF foods that make heat as we'll
as strength. Fruit and vegeta bles
keep down temperature and thus con-
serve the normal strength of the body
If they do not add to it in the same
proportion as meat.
A. practical way of keeping the body
cool, whether in the field or factory.
is to avoid mental excitement. Tenn
per is great modi6er Of temperature.
Outbursts of temper lower the vitality
OF the system and lessen the power of
resistance to external heat.

Area of Public Land,

The preliminary report of the Pub
lie Lands commission, appointed by
the president in 1908, brings out facts
which will astonish people who
imagine that the area of our public
lands has been reduced to compare
lively Insignificant proportions.
In truth, the public lands of the
United States still embrace in area
nearly onesthird Of the entire extent
OF the Union and are widely scattered,
extending from the Gulf Of Mexico
to the Pacific, and from Canada to
Mexico, including every variety of
topography and climate Excluding
Alaska, there are twenty three states
and three territories containing pub
lie land, of which total area of
473, S36, 402 acres still remained on
June 80, 1904.
It is true that Of these vacant lands
the great bulk throughout the west
are unsuitable for cultivation under
present known conditions of agricul-
ture: they are so situated that they
cannot be reclaimed by irrigation.
It is estimated that more than 3OO,-
600, 900 acres are public grazing land,
an area approximately equal to one
fifth of the extent of the United States
proper. The agricultural possibili-
ties OF great areas of the public lands
are almost unknown, but, Glands
which a generation Or even a decade
ago were supposed to be valueless are
now producing large crops either with
or without irrigation. The forest
lands are among the most valuable of
the lands remaining in public owner

THE SPLIT LOG DRAG
It's Usefulness and Method of Con-
acknowledgements and Super-
ior to Modern Road Grader.
Mr.. Rutherford will Pay for the Man
ufacture OF Sufficient Num-
Der to Demonstrate Utility.

M. S. Rutherford, who is an ardent
advocate of good roads, asks US to
describe the manufacture and opera
tion of what is known as the ''King
split-log drag'' and furthermore to
say that he will pay for the construc-
tion of such a drag for use by the
township Of Princeton provided the
officials will put it in operation and
thereby demonstrate to the farmers
the extent of it's usefulness. One is
already being constructed at Mr..
Rutherford expense for the town of
Page.
This implement consists merely of
a split log or square sharp-edged tim
Der drawn by horses attached to it at
the proper point to give it slant of
about forty-fve degrees in the direc-
ton the loose earth is to be forced.
The driver stands upon this drag and
drives down one side of the road and
back on the other after a rain and the
drag fills all depressions. presses the
loose earth down hard and smooth and
pushes all surplus earth into the CEN
ter of the road.
This can also be done by the mod
ern road grader, though this machine
does not press the road bed down so
we'll as the log, and the cheapness of
the latter enables each farmer to own
one and go over the road between his
home and the next neighbor on the
way to town, after each storm.
1t has been found that this way of
keeping roads in repair is much better
than narrowing them down.
This implement is most simple of
construction and can be manufactured
as follows: Take the two halves of
split log nine feet long, ten to twelve
inches thick, set on edge thirty
inches apart, both fat sides to the
front, strong oak cross bars holding
them in position: chains or strong
wire attached to Z he7fronts slab at the
ends to attach the whipple trees to.
Stand on plank attached to the CEN
ter of the first slab. By shifting the
position of the driver and the point
of hitch the necessary changes of
slant in the machine for different
kinds of work can be made. If work.
ing clay or gumbo road put iron,
old wagon tire or something of the
sort on lower edge of drag at end Of
90 he, e., l.
of twelve months.
There are of course few bugaboos
that have to be met wherever this new
implement is introduced. One Of
these is capillary attraction. This
force is declared to be the thing that
will draw the water up into the drag
ged road and make it soft. The only
answer to this is that it doesn't.
Another popular bugaboo is the
calamity that will surely swallow up
the dragged road when the bottom
falls out in the spring." Again,
the answer is that the bottom does not
fall out of the road that has been
dragged with a split-log because the
dragged road, unlike the other kind
does not put down lot of mud into
cold storage with the coming of the
first deep freeze.
Mr.. Rutherford will be pleased to
furnish any further information relat-
ing to this new implement or to the
making of good roads in general.

PROGRESS OF WESTERN INsUR-
ANCE COMPANY.

In view of the disclosures regard
ing local and eastern insurance COM
panies. Colorado and the West may
well be proud of the records of The
American Life and Accident Co,
whose Home offices are in the Colo
RADIO Building. Denver. This is a Colo
RADIO institution which has spread its
business far and wide and now has
insurance in force in twenty-four
states and territories, comprising con-
siderably over half of America. The
management is able and conservative
and claims are paid at sight. One
thing about the American speaks well
for IL: In their 190i report not one
penny appears for legal expense. This
shows there was no litigation.
They issue a profit sharing accident
and sick.benetit policy which Is a new
departure along this line. The liber-
ality OF their policy and their prompt
settlement of all claims is the reason
for their phenomenal growth. The
management OF the American closed
a deal last week which is very credit
able 10 them and cause for con
graduation to the policy-holders. The
Gerinan-American Indemnity Company
Home Offices, Nassau Block. one OF
the most enterprising OF the younger
companies and with agencies in three
states besides Colorado, was absorbed
by the American and transferred all
business and assets to the latter com
pany This increases the business in
