boro Girl, Hattie williams, and
Husband in California.

The Los Angeles SUNDAY Tribune

age of 10 years until she was married
and went West The Tribune story Is
as follows:
After one of the most successful
and most thrilling of trout fishing ex-
petitions on record so far this season,
Mr.. and Mrs. c. L. Smith are telling
their friends of their good luck.
1.-THE biggest beauty shared by the
pair was proudly displayed to ali who
cared to take a slant at it and hear
it's trappers tell of how it was nabbed.
1t was an lS-lnch rainbow trout,
caught in the Little Bear creek.
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith went by machine
from Los Angeles to San Bernardino.
proceeding from there to Pinecrest and
going also over Strawberry peak. which
is over $500 feet in altitude.
Little Bear lake was the goal de-
sired by the listeners to the call of the
streams, but the winter SHOWS were al
together too much in evidence to per
nit them to accomplish this end, the
fieecy stuff bloc king their progress.
"Forty-fve trout, measuring from 10
to IS inches in length and every one a
beauty, were victims of the bait and
lines of the party.
Smith is well known as a motorcv-
Gle and supply man. -

GIFT TO BURLINGTON CHURCH.
Willard Crane Left $4,000 in Trust
for Current Expenses.

Announcement was made Sunday at
the Baptist church in Burlington by
the pastor, Rev. J. s. Braker, that Da-
vid G. Crane and his brother, Willard
Crane, deceased, had given the Baptist
state convention the sum of $4,000 in
trust. the income to go for current eX-
penses of the Burlington church.
Rev. Mr.. Dawson. secretary and SUI
perintendent for the Baptist state con
yention said that the income from this
memorial gift would bring the church
at the present rate of interest $500 per
year and that might prove 4 blessing
or q curse, accordingly as it was re-
ceived by the people. If they say
this will make it easier for Us,
then it would be a curse; but If the
people, encouraged by it, undertook
greater things for God and expected
greater things from God. then it would
be blessing, and he called upon all
who would receive the gift with graf
itude, and be encouraged by it to re-
solve to do more work and give more
money than ever before for the adj
vancement of the cause of Christ to
rise, and the unsuually large congrega-
ton Immediately arose en- masse.
DIR. Dawson further said that this
was splendid gift, but had the
Cranes not given any money for the
support of. the church after they had
gone, they had indeed given to the
church a great legacy in their children,
for which all should thank God,
Willard Crane was member of the
church So years and his brother 81
years.

a fact accounted for in the frequent
exchange of worn money for the
brand-new article. Better business
conditions, which have increased the
demand for small bills and sub-coins,
has made it almost impossible for the
treasury to meet it. Approximately
$40 100000 in 81 bills has been issued
to help out, but this bill is regarded
as a "hoodoo" by both the banks
and the public and not generally de-
sired In section where the dollar

ed by the officers of his bank for
which it had been issued. in brown
paper and started across town, pro-
posing to affx his signature TO the
bills at his leisure The brown paper
package dropped from his pocket on
the street car, where il lay after he
left the car, and was kicked under
the seat The money made several
round trips on the car, filled with
passengers each time, until pas
senger happened to dig it out with
his foot and kick it into the aisle. The
car conductor threw ii into the hop
per at the company's station where
all the finds were placed. A clerk
found the package to contain the sum
before mentioned. In the meantime
the banker had begun close in
quiry over his loss. The package
was returned, but the incident de-
yeloped for the first time that an un-
signed bill issued to a bank is good
money, without regard to whether the
banks officials had affixed their sig
natures.
Paper money is circulating medi-
tion required by the federal laws, and
receives the formalities necessary.
Thereafter if the money is lost be-
fore it reaches the bank for which
it is issued, the loss is the govern
ments. otherwise the banks. For
this reason the government always
takes out insurance to cover ship
ment, whether it be currency or coin
Until the present administration II
was the order to ship money only by
express, but the rule was changed to
include registered mail, which is reck-
oned to be just as safe and gives the
government the fee heretofore going
to the carriers. A big shipment to
locality always is split between
several routes, so, if there happens
to be a holdup, only a portion OF the
general consignment would be involv-
ed. The utmost secrecy is observed.
Information regarding date or route
Of the shipments is entrusted to only
few employees, which is a precau-
ton necessary for more reasons than
one. An amount in excess Of $4,000
Of unsigned currency shipped to
southwestern banks was recently
taken by bandits from a Baltimore
& Ohio train near Central w. Va.
A few days ago one of the bills,-a
$40 note, issued in favor of a Dallas
bank,-found in the cash of Park
ersburg hardware store, was another
reminder that such money is good
The person rendering such a bill
might be asked to explain how he
came into possession of it, yet when
change is being made, the signatures
are about the last thing person be-
hind a counter will look for.

EDITOR CAToCTIN CLARION:

Editor SATOCIlN SLAklON.
Dear Sir Will you kindly permit
me space in your columns to acquaint the
public with few facts, which in justice
to myself think should be made known.
The matter is in regard to late unpleas-
ant circumstances arising "om the al
legged violation of the law W 9 origin
in room of the corner b. .lg now
owned by me. Scant reference need be
made by me as to the outcome of the ex-
posure of those interested, as it seems
many citizens are in possession of the
full facts of the case and have been cog
infant of these violations for some time
past, yet tits regret to me that not one
deemed the matter of sufficient import
ance to notify me whom it concerned the
most, of the displeasure the rental of
said room and the conduct issuing there
from was causing the town.
wish also to present my side of the
matter so that just judgement may be
passed on me after viewing the part |
have played in the circumstances. In
the first place have been to Thurmont
on but few occasions during the passing
summer and on none of my trips have l
ever heard word of complaint or been
given hint of the alleged violation TAX
ing place in the basement of my building.
1t was never my intention to rent this
room to be used for such purposes and |
must again say | am very sorry | was
never given hint of the disagreeable
features it developed.
will further say the present lease ex-
pires Oct. l, 1915, and l wish to assure
the citizens of your town that under no
conditions will Iagain rent the said room
for any purpose similar to the present
business or in any way again incur the dis
pleasure of the people as have been in
formed have by renting to any parties
for any purposes which will not pass
closest scrutiny. In this way trust to
be able to eradicate whatever aspersions
have been cast upon me however unmer-
tied they have been.
Very truly yours,
FRANK W. FRALEY.

tions, which consistedof ThomasE. Wat
kins, candidate for State Comptroller or

The platform adopted is similar to the
one adopted at the State Convention in

Recognizing that the political party
in power is the government in operation
in the United States, then it is evident
the omnipartisan organizations are try
ing to do an impossible thing by trying
to get possession of the reins of govern
ment without party News.
