The Iowa Bankers association re-
ports that bogus fifty dollar bills are
in circulation in Iowa. Most of these
have been made by splitting a genu-
inc fifty dollar bill and a five or ten
dollar bill, and thus making two fifty
dollar bills, one side Of which is half
of the genuine fifty and the other side
the smaller bill raised to fifty. The
parties who are doing this work are
very skillful in pasting figures and
Left bn
seem to have little trouble in passing
them. A number of tens have been
raised to twenties, and there are
some bills with the figures cut off to
be used in raising other bills
