Hodge, of Pennington, Mo-, through
distribution of $1,000 Confederate
Dlils, on the back of which it stated
That This bill will be accepted as
nrst payment on any piano or play

AS the bills have no face or mon
eetary value and are worthless, it can
be readily seen that this is a propo-
sltlon to ensnare the innocent Gus
toner into believing that the bills in
question are of the face value men
TONED on the bill, and it is also ques-
tlonable whether this method of ad-
vertlslng does not violate the Federal
laws. .S3
The matter was discussed with
tne Government authorities, and an in
vestlgation started by them, the re-
suits Of which are as follows:
2 Inc advertiser, has been instructed
10 discontinue the use and distribu-
tlon OF these confederate bills, and
mas been ordered to forward all ad-
vertising matter of this character
which ne has on hand, to the United
