War on the BootIegger.


The government has located force
of special agents in the towns which
have been located in the reservation
country in the northern part of the
state. Under the provisions of the
law under which the Cheyenne River
and Standing Rock reservations were
opened to settlement, no liquor may be
sold in that territory for twenty-five
years after the cate of opening. This
regulation includes all the towns in
the counties of Corson, Dewey and
Ziebach, and as the dry section" is
somewhat extensive. the "bootlegger"
has been doing profitable business
at some of the towns, and the govern
ment is taking up the matter to look
after enforcement

cow LIVES IN BOVINE LUXURY
Swedish Masseur, Shower Bath and
Electric Fan Are Now Among
Her Comforts.

Not content with life of ease and
inaction. quietly munching grass on
the broad lawns back of the white
house. Pauline Wayne H., officially de-
signated as the milk producer for the
president and his family, has been
housed in brand-new stable fitted up
with every modern convenience.
The stable is situated at a conve-
nient distance from the white house
grounds, so that Pauline will not get
unduly tired traversing the distance
twice day. Pauline's abode is fitted
up with conveniences which usually
are found only in dwellings for human
beings.
The stable is built of brick and
steel The floors are concrete and the
walls cement, so arranged that the en-
tire structure can be flooded with wa
ter. There are patent automatic fill
ing feed and watering basins, electric
lights and a shower bath. And the
shower bath is for Pauline.
Every evening Pauline is brought
home, rubbed down and masaged by
a special Swedish attendant who will
see that the bovine lady does not get
too fleshy from want of exercise. Fol-
lowing this she is bedded in sterilized
hay and famed to sleep by an electric

MAN WHO PRINTS STAMPS
Head Of Bureau Of Engraving Makes
over Eleven Billions OF Them
Each Year.

Joseph e. Ralph makes IL, 100. 900. .00c
stamps every year. Mr.. Ralph is the
head of the bureau of engraving and
printing at Washington, which prints
all the stamps and the paper currency.
Recently ten postofflce inspectors went
to the brueau and checked up the num-
Der of stamps printed there within a
month and the total was 1,76S, ,2S5,000.
The bureau prints an average OF AZ.
100000 stamps a day. AS these pass
through the machine the number print
ed is automatically registered. Later
the stamps are counted and when de-
livered to the postofice department
they are checked up. All the time
that he has been printing these stamps,
Mr.. Ralph has never had one unac-
counted for.
For many years the stamp contract
was given each year to a private
business concern In New York. One
day the head of the bureau of engrav-
ing decided to put in a bid for the
work, and it was so much lower than
the other bids that 1t got the contract
1t has held It ever since.
Business is transacted between the
departments just as it is between in
dividuals. The treasury department
bills the postoffice department for its
stamp work and the postoffice depart
ment makes out a voucher which
eventually goes through the treasury

-"Counterfeiters hereof will be ex-
ecuted. Persons giving information of
counterfeiters will be rewarded with

Another great government has
placed much dependence upon death
as a deterrent to imitators of It's
promises to pay. When Jacob Perkins
of Newburyport. Mass, invented the
method of transferring designs from
hardened steel plates to steel cylinders
and retransferring to fiat plates, thus
enabling the engraver to devote the
time necessary to accomplish his best
work in the original and reproduce 1t
at will, the new process aroused in
ternational interest. Mr.. Perkins and
his associates went to London In 1919,
at the instance Of the British minister
at Washington, to help the Bank of
England issue notes not easily coun-
terfeited. But the conservative old
bank refused to adopt the new method,
preferring, as one of the Americans
said. to rely upon the hangman rather
than the engraver. Nevertheless, the
English began in time to follow Amer.
lean methods.

try of note engraving which failed to
record that fact would be incomplete.
Paul Revere was the first American
bank note artist, and from the time OF
the chartering of the Bank OF North
America under the direction OF Rob
ert Morris, 1881, up to the present.
American engravers have excelled not
only in the artistic quality of their de-
signs, but in their provisions against
counterfeiting.
The American style OF bank note
has become the standard in the coun-
tries of Central and South America.
The experience of the Brazilian gov
ernment led the way in this, after
various disappointments. First the
much vaunted Austrian system was
tried, the notes being engraved and
printed In England under that system.
They proved a complete failure. Coun-
terfeiters flourished. The Brazilians
tried bank notes made in France, and
these were promptly and extensively
could get their plates and paper ready.
Brazil tried German and English estab-
ushments, but still without securing
protection to the bank note circula-
ton. and at last turned to the United
States and found type of bills prac-
tically impossible to counterfeit. so
It is no boast but mere record OF
fact to state that Americans make the
best bank notes in the world.
The governments of continental Eu-
rope depend exclusively upon color
work to protect their paper currency
and several of the large banks of Ia
sue have civil engineers in charge of
their bureau of engraving and print
fing-though what connection there
may be between engineering and en-
craving is a mystery. Many Italian
bank notes are easy to counterfeit.
The Bank of Spain has of late aban-
doned its own plant. because Its notes
were initiated so successfully that
counterfeits were accepted by the
bank without question. A private con-
Germ now does the work. The Bank
of Greece now uses the American
method, having had sad experiences
with notes of Austrian, German and
English fashioning.
A myth that probably will never die
tells us that the notes of the Bank of
England cannot be counterfeited. AS
a matter of fact, they can be initiated
readily enough, for little attempt is
made to protect the notes beyond the
use OF water mark paper. The wa
ter mark can be easily copied. Never
theless. the shadow of the hangman
still seems to deter English counter
letters.
The custom of circulating soiled
bank notes, of course, gives the coun-
terfeiter his best opportunity. For
gerry is much more readily detected
in a crisp, stiff, new bill than In a
rumpled and dirty one. The United

: MUPTiAL DEAL FAILS
Woman's "Eusiness Transaction" Los
es Homestead for Her.

Boise-To marry and classify the
act as purely a business transaction
to collect a 5000 debt proved disas
trous for Alice NJ. Montgomery, an
entrywoman, who attempted to hold a
160-acre homestead, consisting of val
liable land.
The register and receiver of the
Boise Land Office, in a decision hand
ed down in a contest case instituted
by Bert w. Cluen against the entry
woman, made clear the fact that a
woman, who is deserted by her hus-
band can claim the title as head Of a
family and hold homestead, but the
spouse who deserts the husband has
no rights under the homestead act re-
CARELESS of the fact that the court had
granted a decree of divorce.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention due to the remarkable
statement of Alice Montgomery that
she cared nothing for the man she
married except the collection of a
debt that would be paid if she agreed
to marriage ceremony
