Beggars should be Turned Down.

The government is evidently pre-
pairing to stop the practice of Begging
particularly by cripples. This action
is taken to prevent fraud on the part
of lame ducks who may go about
the country claiming to have been
MANNED upon the battle front. AS a
matter of fact folks should cut out
the beggar anyway. One man, minus
arms, who made Jefferson the day the
G:eat Lakes band was there, stepped
into Smiths hardware that evening
and asked Mr.. Smith to take his
small change" and give him bills
therefor. Mr.. Smith found his shirt
pocket loaded down with $12 or more
in cash. The man wanted the bills
stuck in the pocket of his shirt, a
large receptacle which he had spe-
cially for the purpose, and which
was foot or more deep. This pock-
ct seemed to the hardware man to
be damned with currency. 1t is a
sure thing that lot of people use
poor judgement in helping beggars.
In evidence given by a banker before
government investigating commit
tee last week he said that beggar
patron of the bank deposited from
$40 to $50 per week of meney got

pied and in need, should be cared for
