LARGE SUMS HANDLED
U. S. Treasurer Pays Out and Receives
Nearly Five Billion Dollars in
One Year

Washington, July 1.-THE cash

urer of the United States, with the
business world during the fiscal
year 1912, climbed to the enormous
total of $4,S37 ,226,3SS, the highest in
the history of the country. This
amount, $3O0,000,000 greater than the
previous year, represents the can
celled income and expenditures of
the government.
Including the intra-departmental
transactions, which necessarily in
volve duplication, the total amount
of money handled by the divisions

This sum passed through hundreds
of hands in the treasury, but only
one official was bonded for its secur.
ity--the treasurer of the United
States, whose bond is only $15O,00O.
Mr.. McClung, like his predeces-
sors, maintains that every man in
his office who handles money should
be bonded Under present conditions
he must depend largely upon the
honesty of his subordinates and a
comprehensive system of checks
against individuals and groups of in

CAMPAIGN FUN MAKERS
Political testers Will Set Things in
Motion at the National
Capital.

Washington, July 17.-It is under
stood that Job Hedges, Senator De-
pew and a few others of the fun
makers of the republican party will
be asked to the White House in a
few days to devise a plan of making
some fun for the second part of
the campaign-the presidential fight
proper, because it has been DEM
onstrated that this it feature of
campaigning quite as necessary as
political speeches and the issuance
of pamphlets outlining the fitness
of candidates for office. To get at
the matter in a dignified way is not
above the plans of the republican
leaders. 1t is recalled that all cam
paigns have been distinguished by
humor since the Jackson epoch. The
"houn' dog" of Missouri, for example,
and the that in the ring" are de-
clared to be as surely antiques as
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too" or
the grandfather's hat of 1888. Plen-
ty is doing, but quietly and without
fuss, so the political testers will be
called from their vacations, it is ex-
pected, to "set things humming."

DID YOU GET YOUR SHARE
Booze Figures For the W. c. T. U. to
Ponder Over; Uncle Sam Fur
nishes Them.

Washington, July 17.-f you did
not get your quota of the booze dis
posed by Uncle Sam during the last
twelve months, it's nobody's fault
but your own, so don't blame the
w. c. T. u, the churches or any
body else. Certainly there was plen-
ty and enough to spare. If you care
to study the matter from the stand
point of the cool (and sober) calcu-
lator, you will find that the aggre-
gate output in 1911 was 75,402, 1896
gallons, compared with 1898, $50
gallons in 1910. In addition to the
domestic production, 3,674.350 gal
Ions of spirits and 6,732,S23 gallons
of wine were imported during the
year. Reduce this to pint and di-
vide the population of the United
States, according to the last census,
then figure what was your share. A
study OF the records of home for in
ebriates will show just what hap
pened to the pints you did not get,
perhaps.

DRIVING AN OLDSMOBILE CAR
Automobile Is Valued at Ten Thousand
Dollars; Is LuxuriousIY Equipped
For Comfort and Travel.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Mrs. George Thompson of st. Paul,
accompanied by Mrs. F. A. Fogg,
Miss Fogg, Mrs. D. N. Dyer and
Miss Thompson, all of St. Paul, spent
today at the Saulpaugh, arriving here
last evening by automobile. The par
ty came in Mrs. Thompson's ninety
horse power Oldsmobile, and when
interviewed by The Free Press rep
resentative this morning, Mrs.
Thompson said the trip had been de-
lightful, and the roads were in splen-
did condition. They came up the
Minnesota river road, passing through
Belle PLANE, LIE Sueur and st. Peter.
The country was unusually beautiful
all the way and the grain was in
fine condition.
Mrs. Thompson and her friends
will leave tomorrow on their return
trip, but while here they called upon
General Baker, Mrs. r. d. Hubbard
and upon Mrs. John Robertson of
ST. Paul, who is now the guest of
her father, Mr.. Presley. Mrs. Rob-
ertson recently returned from a two
years stay in Europe.
Next week Mrs. Thompson expects
to motor to Castleton, N. D., and
visit the Dalrymple wheat farm,
which is so we'll known. Since her
last visit there about three thousand
acres have been added to the farm,
and Mrs. Thompson is interested in
making this visit.
Mrs. Thompson's husband is George
Thompson, owner of The st. Paul
Dispatch and Pioneer Press.
The Oldsmobile was put in the
Hoerr & Clements garage, where
Mrs. Thompson's chauffeur, A. F.
Buck, showed it's great number OF
conveniences to the Free Press re-
porter. The car is a ninety horse
power car and is of mammoth size.
1t was built especially for Mr..
Thompson and is equipped for long
trips. At the rear end of the car
is a cabinet with room for five suit
cases. Dividing the rear seat is a
partition which has a cabinet con.
tanning field glasses, cameras, cleo
trio cigar lighter, space for cigars,
bridge whist sets and various other
things for the enjoyment of the pas,
sengers. The front seat of the car
is arranged with an ice chest which
will keep ice for thirty-six hours
Salads, sandwiches and cooling bev.
erages are kept in the ice chest. I'm
der the other section of the front is
the china cabinet, containing china
and silver to supply the needs of as
large a party as can travel in the
car.
In the tonneau there is a false bot
tom to the car, which when raised
forms a table which is used for a
lunch table in travelling or for a
bridge table. The middle seats in
the tonneau are arranged so that
they may be locked in any position,
facing the driver, the people in the
rear tonneau seat or locked against
the side of the car. The tool chests
are along the sides of the car just
above the running board. Above the
cabinet containing the suit cases is
a space which holds the side cur
tains and other extra equipment for
the car.
The car attracted considerable at
tention at the garage today, its un-
usual size and equipment creating
much interest in it.
