CORNERSTONE OF FINANCE RE
SIGNS FROM CITY COMMISSION
VACANCY TO BE FILLED.

There is a good fat job as com
missioner of finance of the board or
city commissioners for somebody, but
as vet IT is not believed that the
mavor has been compelled to hire
extra clerks to take care OF the dp-
Dlications for the place In fact, IL
is believed that the job will seek the
man with a vengeance in TINS IN
stance, as there is none who seems
to want it so far as known.
When Commissioner b ri d m
handed in his resignation it was pre-
dicted that the vacancy would be
filled without trouble with compe-
tent citizen from the third ward,
but when a canvass is made OF the
aforesaid competent citizens, 1t Is
found that pressing personal busl'
ness" compels them to decline the
honor and like Caesar Of old, thrust
the crown from them.
Somebody is billed for a job but
lust who the mayor and the board
of commissioners will wish, is
mystery at this time. It's cinch
that someone is going to be compel
ed to work at the trade of commits
sioner OF finance and he will have to
ne conscripted from the third ward,

NEW TRICK FOR
RAISING MONEY
BY TEARING AND FASTING CUR
RENCY BILLS A CROOK GETS
AN EXTRA $5.

BY a clever trick of mutilatlon, two
So bills and a 81 bill can be made into
ST.. Judge John T. Sims of the Wyan-
dctte county probate court knows, be-
cause he holds s. bill representing
the "unearned increment" of the mu-
tilator. The bill is made entirely OF
parts of legal currency of the United
States, and yet they will not take the
bill at the bank, and he could be ar /
rested if he tried to circulate it.
At first glace the bill looks like any |
S. bill save that it seems to have |
been torn across a third of the way |
from each end and mended with tissue
paper. That it was not good was first
noticed by County Treasurer Stewart
of Wyandotte county, Lewis Culp, a
clerk in Judge Sims office, presented
the bin at the window Of the treasur-
er's office. Mr. Stewart thought the
mended bill didn't look right and re-
fused to take it. Culp took it to a
bank and learned what was the matter
with it.
The mutilator's outlay consisted OF
two s. bills 81 bill, some mucilage
and tissue paper and some stamps
and envelopes. one $5 bill was torn
across near the left end and the 9th
err near the right The larger fragment
of each s. bill was then sent to the
United States treasury department
and a new bill received in place OF
each fragment The two ends OF -
bill bearing the figure "2' were then
torn off and the parts bearing the de,
nom. nation of the bill exchanged for
a good So bill. The mutilator now
had left the left end Of s. bill bear
ing figure 90, the center of a 81
bill bearing no figure by which 1t
could be identified, and the right end
of a s. bill bearing a figure "5".
The result after these fragments
were pasted together was another 50
tbnl which no one but bank teller
would be able to tell was not good
though mended s. bill. The differ
ence. however, is that the same kind
of picture has never been printed IN
the center of a 50 bill that is in the
center Of a s.. The picture of George
WASHINGTON on the center torn from
the 81 bill was purposely badly solIeC
with a view of Disgusting its identity
The mutilator received $l2 from the
treasury department for fragments oi
his two S. and his 81, and had s.
bill left as profit
Il believe | got this bill from Judge
= Sims. Culp said.
We'll. maybe you did. You couldn

OIL FIELD DEVELOPMENT .

oil field development is surpass-
ing the expectations of the most
sanpuine Ardmore citizens. The fact
that the big companies have hold
ings in the field, that storage tanks
will ne built to care for the olI
while the pipe line is being huilt,
the fact that a survey has been
made for the pipe line and the
material ordered gives prestige to
the field. The oil men believe
they have fine field or such IN

ertv values in the field are SAID
to he HIGHER than in any other lleld
IN the state. but there is somc
trading every day and the compa-
nies who intend to do operating are
acquiring holdings in the field. Lo

A down fastener registered re-
Gently at one Of the hotels in
Chickasha. He has seen the even
ing before a few peaceable Indians
an the streets, but the sight of the
red man in his native home so eX-
cited the easterner that he slept
none the first night and caused some
little excitement around the hotel
with his queries whether there was
danger or not Editor Evans of the
EXPRESS was called to try to quiet
thc fears of the Fastener and in
talking with him he ascertained
that his knowledge of Oklahoma was
based upon information gained
through the Dallas News. AS Mark
Goodwin is editor of the Oklahoma
news department of the Dallas News,
suspicion at once centered upon
Goodwin. However, upon further in
ouirv the man pleaded guilty TO
having read the Al Jennings stories
in the Saturday Evening Post, and
Mark Goodwin was eXonerated. OK
lahomans learned years ago to scan
the Oklahoma news published IN
the Dallas News, the stories are
we'll written, they are conservative
and are truthful and Goodwin
would have been eXonerated with
out any trial if the readers OF 'h'
News had been on the jury.
