BOY SCOUTS WILL
TAG CITY IN VIDE
QUEST FOR FUNDS
Plans All Ready For Cam
paign Tomorrow-To Aid
Vacation Camp.

The Boy Scouts propose to corral the
interest of washington tomorrow quite
as effectively as the Democrats will
demand the attention of Baltimore.
Early In the morning, about school
time, although this Is vacation season,
several hundred boys will start tagging
those who will permit 1t, the operation
being carried forward for the benefit Of
the Boy Scout fund.
The division Of forces has been at
tended to carefully. Department stores,
streets, office buildings, the House and
Senate office buildings, and other places
Will be assigned to certain Scouts who
VIII ply their quest industriously as
long as persons will be tagged.
The tags will be sold for s cents and
higher denominations.
This campaign for funds was antici-
pated about two months ago by a quiet
campaign among the men back of the
movement. More funds are needed,
however, than were then subscribed.
A part of the receipts tomorrow will
be used In defraying the expenses of
the River View camp. 1t Is expected
that more than 500 boys will be given a
| having their fun under conditions OF
| sanitation and moderate discipline that
would not be afforded anywhere else al
less than many times the cost of ac-
conHouauonS at tne pretty camp M
| teen miles south Of Washington.
The interest of Boy Scouts IL further
| enhanced by the business proposals
made by the leaders. Twenty per cent
of the sales tomorrow go to the sales
| men. This has added an edge to the
enterprise that tag days frequently
| lack.
Boy Scout tags are worth twice az
| much as the Boy Scout officials ask fol
them, according to one well-knowr
| Washington resident who wrote the fol
! lowing note to Arthur G. Moses, presi
| dent of the Boy Scouts:
| Dear Sir.-Yours received inclosinG
| two tags for auto. You ask me to senC
| 30 cents for each. That is too cheap
| They are worth a dollar each to me.
| The Boy Scout organization is the
| best thing out. The boys will be thu
real Americans of the future.
| Yours truly.

MONEY LAUNDRY
READY TO START
FULL DAYS WORK
Seven Hours Out of Twen-
ty-four Is to Be Order
for Cleaner.

Uncle Sans money laundry at the
Treasury Department is getting its first
real hard test today.
Heretofore the machine, which has
been washing. starching, and ironing
soiled certificates has been worked at
but intervals, but today is being worked
from 8 o'clock until 4:3O
In its preliminary tests, which have
proved SO successful, the me chine has
laundered dirty bills at the rate of
about 32.0oD In an eight-hoGr day. It
Is believed that today fully 10000
soiled certificates will receive a bath.
1t is figured out that this laundry will
save Uncle Sam about $3.50 a day.
There are about 5000 bills withdrawn
from circulation and destroyed each
day. 1t costs $465.50 TO replace these
with new money. To wash the same
number Of, bills costs but sl5.
However, the laundry is not intended
to knock the plate printers ou, of
work, 1t will in no way hort them.
because not all of the bills sent here
Tor redemption can be laundered. 1t
ic a fact. though. for years the Gov
crnment has destroyed thousands of
bills that. outside of being soi!ed. were
physically all right. 1t is such bills that
are being put through the laundry.
After being washed they are ironed.
and upon coming through the machine
arc almost us good as new.
Burgess Smith, the inventor, and
samuel Elder. the manufacturing ma
chinist, are receiving the consratu-
lations of hundreds of expert machinists
and scientists. who for years argued
with them that It was impossible to
invent money laundry that would be
satisfactory.

THE LEE TICKET
Wagner Post,
Wagner, s. d.


Gentlemen In reference to q certain
article which you published May "a,
1912, attacking the delegation to the
democratic national convention headed
by Andrew E. Lee. will say that the
gentleman who is the author of the ar
ticle 10 question either was not very
we'll informed or purposely made
statement to mislead the democratic
voters, when he stated the following: !:
"A democrat who does not know to-
day who he will favor tomorrow,
should vote for the delegation headed
by Andrew e. Lee"
At democratic committee meeting
held at Mitchell on May cath, 1912 the
delegation headed by Andrew E. Lee
unanimously decided that since w. J
Bryan was not candidate for the pres
idency, they would vote for Champ
Clark.
Because Mr.. Lee has seen fit to sup
port PAT Wickem ss a candidate for
Cove rnor, the johnson supporters are
fighting tooth and toenail" to defeat
the delegation headed by Mr.. Lee. and
the above is sample of the tactics
they employ. They are shouting the
popular slogan of Progressive Demo-
craey" and are trying to divide the
party just to further their own selfish
interests.
Democrats who have the interest of
the cause at heart will not easily for
get the services rendered by the men
now being denounced by the johnson
supporters, but will show their ap-
probation of work well done by sup
porting the the delegation headed by
Mr.. Lee and Pat Wickhem in his just
aud upright fight to defeat Mr.. John
son. Respectfully,
Chas. Medinnis,
Lake Andes.
