What A Boy Costs.

Somebody has figured out that
the average boy who is depend
ent upon his parents for a liveli-
hood until he reaches the age of
81 years costs them $4,000. On
this basis of calculation, a brood
of six boys, for instance, would
represent an outlay of S24, 600 by
the time they get away from the
home roost. The question arises,
does it pay to raise boys and are
there no other crops that would
prove more profitable? If a boy
turns out to be a street loafer
with an u~ntrammeled and uncon-
uuerable desire to avoid work, it
is safe to say that his parents
might have invested their S4, 900
to a much better advantage. But
if the boy grows up to manhood
with the lesson we'll learned that
wealth and success grow only on
bushes watered by the sweat of
ones brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they spent on
him, for he will be source of in
creasing pride and JOY to their
hearts, and when they grow old
and their hands tremble and
their legs wabble and their step
is slow and faltering, they have
two strong arms to lean upon and
help them over all the rough
places that lie in their twilight
path. -Yazoo City Sentinel.

The Fine Art of Counterfeiting

Keep a sharp eye on your ten
dollar gold certificates. Chief
Wilkie of the secret service gives
warning that there is a very fine
new counterfeit in circulation.
Sooner or later the man re-
sponsible for it will be detected
and will spend probably the rest
of his life in the federal prison.
Knowing this to be true, fully
aware that it is only a question
of time when he will be caught,
the counterfeiter plies his busi-
ness, says The Commercial APP
peal.
There was once an artist who
lived in New Jersey. He was a
skilled jeweler, eL.graver and
mechanic. His greatest gift was
with brush and colors. For
years he worked patiently
counterfeiting twenty dollar
notes. They were etched by
hand and were beautiful imita-
lions. He only produced about
one a week and after it was
finished he would change it in
some saloon. This continued for
several years before he was
finally detected. This mans
great genius and his wonderful
gift won the admiration of even
the secret service men. If he
had only applied himself honest
ly he would no doubt have made
far more money and have been
appreciated for his wondrous tai
ents.
The success of the counterfeit
er is not so much due to his ar
tistic cleverness as it is due to
the public carelessness and ig-
nUrance. A man who is not IA
miliar with the distinctive ear
marks of genuine money of the
land can not be expected to de-
tect the counterfeit presentment
of them when they face him on
spurious money. Every man
ought to make himself familiar
with these distinctive earmarks.
He must do this if he expects to
successfully protect himself
against the skilful limitations and
cunning devices of the shrewd
counterfeiters who infest the
land and prey upon this species
of public ignorance.
For the suppression of counter
feiting the United States govern
ment has divided the country in
to ten secret service districts, in
each of which officials are con-
stantly working to detect passers
of counterfeit money and ferret
out those who are engaged in it's
manufacture.
The paper money of the United
States has been made very diff
cult to initiate. The paper used
contains colored silk threads and
as the manufacturers of this
paper are prohibited by law from
making this paper for any other
purpose, to obtain a sheet of it
the counterfeiter must either
own a paper mill or steal it from
the government, which is not an
= easy thing TO do. The finest en-
gravers are employed and all
sorts of secret words and cryptic
gramatic figures are used to pro-
tect the paper money of the
country.
Yet counterfeiting goes on, as
the last warning of Chief Wilkie
shows.

DEMOCRATIC
ECONOMY"
Republican Members Cause
Them Embarrassment

Washington, D. c.. May 7.--When
the democratic house embarked on it's
economy" policy there were many
predictions that the leaders would
come to grief many times in the course
Of the two years for which they were
elected. All sorts and kinds of trouble
and embarrassment have followed
from time to time. The latest de-
velopment was the legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill,
which was reported to the house car
rying an aggregate of $33,519, ,594,
which represents a reduction of ST.
637615 from the aggregate carried in
the bill as passed last session. OF
course, the senate will add a consid-
cradle amount to the bill.
But the trouble with this bill, from
the democratic economy standpoint,
is the fact that it was reported to the
house containing several remarkable,
If inconsistent, provisions. At the out
set, when a sentiment of no small
proportions had been worked up in
favor of some form of civil retire
nlent, this bill was reported containing

OHIO TO SEE
HOT BATTLE
Taft and Roosevelt Viii Make
It 4 Battle Ground

Cincinnati, o., May 7.--Taft's home
state bids fair to become the battle
ground where the president and
Roosevelt will fight one Of the most
decisive actions" Of the present cam
paign fr the republican presidential
nomination. Friends of Taft, with him
on his visit to Cincinnati today de-
clared Rosevelt's victory in the Mary
land primaries made it certain the
struggle for Ohio would be hard and
fierce.
They are determined the president
shall spend more time campaigning in
his own state than he did in Mary
land. His secretary. Charles D. Hills,
today announced Taft would return to
Ohio next week for four or Ave days
stay. His friends say they expect the
campaign to be .red hot"
The Ohio campaign will wind up
only few days before the state pri-
maries May -. and from his home
state the president will probably turn
his attention to New Jersey. So far
no invasion by the president of other
state where primaries will be held, has
been planned.
The president is resting today but
tomorrow will start north on sixteen
hc,r tour which viii end at Colum-
bus late at night and he will make
at least fourteen speeches.
Taft said today he was not discour-
aged at the result in the Maryland
primaries although all the other
members OF the party were disappoint-
ed.

Baltimore, Md, May 7.--Complete
returns from the Maryland primaries
today gave Roosevelt sixty-six dele
gates, or one more than the number
necessary to control the state con-
vention. The democratic primary re-
turns with only ftve precincts missing.
gave Clark 81, Wilson A. Harmon 4.
John II. Hanna, chairman of the
republican state central committee and
the raft leader, said this afternoon
he was in doubt about the figures re-
ceiyed from Howard county, which on
the face of the returns went for Roose-
welt by majority Of so. Taft man
ayers had no other figures to offer but
said they wish to investigate the count
there more closely
All the other counties carried .oy
Roosevelt gave him majority running
from 400 to 100. The Roosevelt
leaders said they were sure Of Howard
county, and pointed out that the vote
there was handled by elections officers
appointed by friends OF Taft. With
the three from Howard, Roosevelt will
have sixty six delegates to the state
convention compared with sixty-three
for Taft.
Hanna expressed the opinion that
Taft will control the state convention.
The Roosevelt leaders however, re-
fuse to admit this saying the person
ality of the state delegates will cut
no figure. Only one county, Garret,
remained in doubt on the democratic
count and the result there cannot
change the situation.

SECOND BATTLE
On in TEXAS
Continued on Page Seven.

Dallas, Texas, May 1.-THE demo-
Gratis and republicans met in county
conventions today to take the second
step of indicating choice among
Wilson. Harmon and Clark and be-
tween Taft and Roosevelt as presi-
Dental candidates.
Wilson Is the first choice on the
democratic side while the Taft and
Roosevelt contest Is an open one.
Conventions are scheduled for at
least 243 out OF 249 counties. Chief
interest centers in the question Of
whether an attack will be made on the
apparent landslide by which Wilson
won in Saturdays conventions. Unof-
fetal and incomplete returns indicate
his followers would have controlling
vote in a sufficient number Of county
conventions today to assure the New
Jersey governor more than majority
5of the 623 votes In the state conven-
tion. The campaign managers OF Har-
mon and Clark do not concede their
defeat and promise vigorous contests
today
