DIGGING UP COIN
 BORIED ] I OR
 'SAFE. KEEPING

DETROIT, April 24.-State, county and government officials are seem ingly agreed that the soil of Michi- gan is today hiding more money, coin saadsssop,rreraey. thans it has held for several years.
 German propaganda is the reason. Despite the efforts of government agents and of newspapers to assure persons of Teutonic extraction that their property will not be seized, there has been a noticeable shrinkage in the s"vings deposits of some of these peo- pie in various sections of Michigan.
 The mistaken fear, it is believed, has proved contagious in one or two districts which have a heavy foreign population. Hard-earned savings which usually were hidden at home in the days before the government postal savings system was instituted have been going back to the soil.
 Government agents have been en- listing the assistance of patriotic citi- zens to combat this German propa- ganda
 For several months, however, signs of boarding have increased, particu- larly since the government began to take over the property of certain Ger man corporations in the East.
 One incident was reported at Ypsi- lanti, in Washtenaw county, near De- troit, which illustrates the situation. A farmer and his two sons drew their entire savings, about $7,0O0, from a Ypsilanti bank The father buried the money and then forgot the hiding place. After several days he located the wealth and returned with it to Ypsilanti, where he told the bank cashier of his act.
 T had a tip that the government was going to confscate the savings of all German-Americans," the farmer said.
 When he was told that such rumors were the work of spies, and that many patriotic persons of German lin. cage had large sums of money on deposit, the farmer put the money back in the bank.
 Then he went home and slept soundly for the first time in week.

LARGEST WOODEN SHIP
 SOON ID LOSE HONOR

ORANGE, Texas, April 20.-The War Mystery" said to be the largest wooden steamship ever launched, and which now lies in the Sabine river be- ing equipped with steam engines. will boast it's title as the worlds greatest for only brief period. Five other thips of similar design, each with d greater cargo capacity than the War Mystery are in course Of construc- tion here, and by the way work is progressing, all will soon enter the water. In addition to these, more than a score of smaller wooden ves- sels are in the local yards, all in different stages of completion, and all progressing rapidly under the hands of 4,OO0 shipbuilders, most of whom have gathered here within the year.
 The War Mystery has a cargo ca pacity of 3.700 tons, while the five great ships to be launched will be able to care for 5000 tons each.
 Nearly all of the lumber that goes into these vessels is grown on the Gulf coast, in most instances only short distance from Orange. Prepara- tory to the activity in the shipbuild- ing industry, sawmilIs were estab- 1ished with a capacity of 65O,O00 board feet each day. The raw material is floated down the Sabine river from the forests of Texas, handled by the new sawmills, and moved right on to the shipyards.
 It requires from 1,250,OOO to 1,50O,- 900 feet of timber to construct a ship of the War Mystery class, and the sawmills are hard pressed to keep pace with the shipbuildeTs. Between 4OOO and 4,5O0 men are at work in shipyards, and the weekly payroll is more than $75,0OO The lumber mills are using about 1,60O men, with a payroll of $10,0O0 weekly.

LOYAL LEGION
 IF LOGGERS TO
 BE ORGANIZED

PORTLAND, April 24.-Forty thou sand members will be added to the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumber men, 1t IS estimated, by the organiza- tion of the Inland Empire division, which has begun under the leadership of commissioned officers of the Unit ed States army, from the command of Colonel Brice P. Dfsque, head of the spruce division of the signal corps.
 Organization of the legion in the logging camps and sawmills of the pine manufacturing districts of the Inland Empire was deferred until the work was completed in the coast dis tricts of Washington and Oregon, where 10000 men engaged in getting out spruce and fir for airplane con struction have enrolled. Requests for organizers to begin work in the In land Empire came to Colonel Disque Om both employees and operators of the pine districts, who saw in the Loyal Legion the most practical method for concentrating patriotic effort to a common end.
 That the pine product is used largely for war purposes was pointed out to Colonel Dtsque by those who urged him to hasten the organization work. Not only does the pine lumber go into cantonment construction and the manufacture of ammunition cases, but much of it is used in making fruit boxes and other containers for food in demand for soldiers and war work CTS.
 With headquarters at Spokane
 eleven districts will be created in the
 Inland Empire, each district to be
 made up of locals in it's camps. TC
 facilitate the work of organization
 temporary secretaries will be at first
 appointed in each camp, as was done
 on the Pacific coast. There are sever districts in the coast division of the Loyal Legion, named as follows: One North Bend district; Two, TilIamook Three, Astoria; Four, South Bend
 Five, Aberdeen; Six, Seattle; Seven Bellingham.
 - The eleven districts which will con - stimte the Inland Empire division l win be- One, Kittitas and Yakima rFoe9ytgs. Washington; TWO. Chelar
