Machine Makes Old
Money Good As New
(5y United Press.)

Washington, July 11.-Without ( a
counterpart III the world is laundry
machine at the bureau of engraving
and printing, the plant where the gov.
ernment turns out the national supply
of currency. A great item of expense
has been the production Of new bills
to take the place Of crumpled, worn
and germ-laden paper money sent in
fer redemption.
Il has had sufficient use to prove its
success in taking the wrinkles and
dirt and germs out Of badly used cur
rcncy. Two young ladies have been
placed in charge OF the laundry One
feeds The aoiled money to one end of
the machine ana the other stacks the
clean, crisp laundfied notes when they
come through.
Before The machine had been plac-
ed in practical service the claims
made for it attracted the attention of
government officials in several Euro.
pean countries. They sent over exam
pies OF much abused currency and
were delighted in the condition in
which it was returned to them.
Hundreds Of people have seen the
machine in action Many Of those who
laughed at the inventor and others as
ISOLATED with him in his effort to put
such machine on the market, are today
loud in their praises for the wonder
full piece Of machinery. 1t is estimated
that in eight hours between 10000 and
30 600 old bills can be Numbered.
National bank presidents have been
asked to sign notes from their institu
tons in strong indelible ink, so that
when such bills are put through the
laundry the ink viii not fade. AS it
is today bank presidents sign their
notes with any kind of ink, from plain
polk berry juice to ordinary five cent
ink. These fade in the laundry ma
chine.
Burgess Smith, a native of Macon
Ga, but for the past years scien-
fist at the bureau of engraving and
printing is the designer of the new ma
chine. He is rather timid in regard TO
accepting the plaise due to him, and
1t WIS only after much questioning
that his friends could establish the
fact that he was the inventor. Samuel
Elder, of Philadelphia for II years a
machinist at the bureau, followed the
designs of Mr.. Smith and made the
machine. They were laughed at hut
now they are enjoying together the
victory they have won.

Russians Conserving
Their Timber Supply

Washington, July 11.=An interest.
ing story Of the conservation Of for.

being annually reduced in area, the ex
tensiye state forests are but gradually
being brought into use, end for long
time to come (hey will continue to be
an important reserve timber supply for
the world. These forests cover 937,00O,-

well stocked. The increasing utliza'
ton of state forests is shown by in
creasing receipts from the sale OF tim
Der, which have risen from $9,486,300

This Waiter Had A
Pane In His Jaw
(By United Press.)

Washington, July 11.-Rather a re-
markakble experience was that OF
George E. Diggs, head waiter in fash
ionable apartment, who, for almost a
lifetime, unknowingly carried in his
anatomy piece of glass one-eighth of
an inch wide and five-eights on an
inch long Although the glass had been
hidden in the flesh of his jaw for a
quarter of Il century, Diggs did not
begin 10 feel the effects of it until
recently. He went TO a physician who
prescribed liniment, which had the
effect of drawing the glass to the sur
face of the skin. Feeling a hard sub
stance in his jaw Diggs pulled it out
and found it was 4 fragment of glass.
He explains that when but four years
old he pulled window down on him
self ant that piece of glass stuck in
his jaw, but at the time it was thought
that all OF them had been removed.

JULIAETTA, April 1.-(Special to
the ar-Mirror) The farm house
of Frank Groves, one mile north of

urday evening, at about $50. The ex-
act origin of the fire is unknown, but
Mrs. Grove had just started fire IN
the cook stove preparing to cook the
evening meal and just stepped out of
the house for something Mr.. Grove
drove by the house as he came home
from town and went to the barn and
as soon as he could unhitch his team
returned to the house which he found
on fire. Mr.. Grove said that it could
not have been more than five or ten
minutes from the time he passed on
his way to the barn and noticed no
fire, till he returned and the fire had
made such Roadway that he was una

GIRLS SEEK ADVENTURE:
MEET PULLMAN OFFICER

Determined to see the. world for
themselves, Alice Lindel, aged IA, and
Elizabeth Hughes, aged 16, of Moscow,
set forth yesterday morning on a ro-
mantle journey that was doomed to
end in disappointment, for when the
weary and footsore children reached
Pullman, their destination, they walk
ed into the arms of Marshall Baymiller
and were taken into custody. This
morning they were sent home.
The Hughes girl is believed to have
been the captain in the adventure. She
is an orphan who had been taken in
to the J. G. Gibson home from the
Children's Home at Lewiston. She de-
cided that she didn't like the place,
and wanted change. Hence the Pull
man trip. The other girl, a mere child,
is daughter Of Mrs. Elsie Lindell, 1926

S. Harrison street, widow employed
in the Moscow laundry. She has hated
to go to school, and the mother ex-
planned this morning to Juvenile Judge
Morgareidge that she had expected to
visit friends in Pullman, and possibly
to get work there.
At the Gibson home, Mr.. Gibson re-
fused to make any statement last eve
ming other than that he had given the
Hughes girl good home, and that he
thought she left it for the purpose of
clipping with some boy. He believed
the girl had gone to Pullman to meet
some young man in that city.
The Lindell girl was brought to Mos
COW at noon today and returned to her
mother. The Hughes girl was taken
on through to Lewiston where she was
returned to the children's home.

A request of the city council to re-

as to that, but l have received word
of threatened invasion of Moscow
by an army of desperate characters,
by the side of which the l. W. w. in

ance. Already the agitators Of that
Order of knights of Khprassan, are
conducting their insidious campaign
in this city, and it is safe to predict
that by the 18th of April the city will
be over-run by that horde of Saracenic
barbarians, and nothing short of the

afford us adequate protection.

ducing wounds which impair the vital

The limits of this article do not per-
NIT complete discussion of the Sub
ject Of pruning but the following sug-
gestlons are offered. Branches that
rub should be taken out Broken
down branches should be cut back to
the main branch or a strong lateral as
may seem best In pruning make
wounds clean and smooth, cutting the
branches parallel to the limb from
which they are cut and leave no stubs.
Stubs are unsightly and endanger the
life of the tree Where possible cut
branches to strong laterals which will
take up the sap and save many water
sprouts. In order to do the work
properly all pruning tools should be
kept sharp. If we are not able to af-
ford complete pruning outfit a few
of the best tools should be procured
One good saw should at least be avail
able tor pruning and one of the best
1saws has blade which turns in
swivel We should also make provi-
sions for dressing all wounds an inch
or over in diameter. White lead paint
is desirable for this purpose. If we
have not already done so now IS not
too late to purchase pruning tools and
make ready to prepare our trees for
the work before them.
Net only should we prepare our
trees for the coming seasons work but
we should prepare ourselves to fight
our insect and fungous enemies which
make great inroads on our profits.
Spray pumps and spray materials
such as lime-sulphur, arsenate of lead,
kerosene emulsion could be ordered to
advantage at this time. If postponed
until the rush of spring work fatal
delays may occur for insects and
fungus diseases wait for no man. Past
errors should be carefully studied and
avoided this year and in these and
other ways we should make ready to
combat enemies which tax our trees
and crops SO heavily: If we are pre-
pared for emergencies the blossoms
will bring us joy and pleasure not
only because of their intrinsic beauty
but because they will betoken or
