With the words Bob Ralston flash
ed into an automobile and was gone
leaving Ned holding the pOcketbook
in his hand, looking solemn, worried,
excited, all at once. Ned had heard
that his cousin would be in the city
that morning, and had spent his last
cent coming over to greet the best
friend he had in the world.
Ned did not at all understand the
situation, for Bob had no time to eX-
plain. It was a peculiar one. Bob had
arrived in town only two hours pre-
vious after an absence of a year, to
claim pretty Ruth Leslie as his bride.
Where he had expected to find joy
and brightness he had been met with
despair and gloom. Robert Leslie,
the father of his prospective bride,
was on a sick bed, slowly recovering
from a severe fit of illness brought on
by anxiety over his business affairs.
Mr.. Leslie had for years owned the
Il
genial business. An unjust claim had
been foisted upon him by a rival
Upton & Co. Suit had been brought,
judgment entered while Mr. Leslie
was sick, the works had been closed
and the property was now to be sold
to satisfy the claims of creditors.

only small one, although it brought
in a comfortable living" Ruth had

Governments money laundry as soon
as the four new currency washing ma
chimes recently installed, are put in

Despite the agitation that has been
started in Congress against the washing
of currency because Of the alleged
danger of counterfeiting. Secretary Nc
Adoo, of the Treasury, and Treasurer
Burke have announced that they will
give the machines a fair trial, devoting
particular attention to tn danger OF
counterfeiting.
Advocates of the washing machines
say that their use will save the Govern
ment about half a million dollars an
nually by reducing the output Of the big
money printery by 100000 notes a
year.
The department, 1t is said. has made
arrangements to reduce the working

PURE FLOUR FIGHT
IN SUPREME COURT
Government Seeks Review Of
Decision Which 1t Alleges
Will Let Down Bars.

The Department of Justice has carried
the fight for pure flour to the Su-
preme Court. Application has been filed
for . review Of the decision Of the
circuit court Of appeals for the Eighth
circuit. This decision held the Govern
ment did not have the right to con-
denim flour bleached by electricity by
the alsop process.
Much depends on the decision In this
case. It involves construction Of that
section Of the pure food law which de-
clares an article shall be deemed adul-
tefated II Il contains any added poison
Gus Ingredient which may make It in
furious to health.
The Government contends that this
prevents addition OF any poisonous IN
gredient. The circuit court of appeals
held the poisonous Ingredients must be
added IN such quantity as to make It
possible to injure health.
Because the Attorney General believes
the decision Of the Court Of Appeals
will let down the bars and make the
statute difficult, II not impossible, of
enforcement he II seeking review Of
the decision.
The ruling Of the Court Of Appeals
Is eminently satisfactory to the food

Convict Department

Jasper, March 20.-(Speclal.)- 1.-THE Jasper
and Walker county citizens are stirred
over the recent discoveries of theft in the
state convict department and anxiously
look for every development tending to
clear up the matter.
The sentiment took shape today when

ira session of the legislature.
The petition presented the Walker rep
resentatives was as follows:

partial and prompt Investigation should
be made of the convict department, and of
all officers guilty of willful neglect of
duty, corruption in office or incompetency
relative to the convict department or
any other department of the state, re-
spectfully request that you use all proper
efforts to have the legislature meet in
special session at the earliest practicable
date"
This petition was signed by number
of the representative citizens of Jasper
and the county at large, including the
various professions, county and town Of
ficers.
