aShinpIasters.n

One of the curious forms of money
to which the United States govern
ment has resorted was the sshin-
plaster currency" These bits Of paper
money were called "shinplasters" by
reason of their size and not because
of the use to which they were put.
It was a strange condition of affairs
which led to their issue. The Civil
war had put a great strain on the
finances of the United States. Metallic
money grew scarce. In the first place
it was exported and in the second
place 1T was boarded in vast sums.
The government had issued agreen-
backs to take the place of silver dol
lars and five and ten dollar gold pieces.
and as dimes, quarters and halves had
also grown scarce 1t was decided to
issue fractional paper currency. 1t
was seriously needed, because there
was great inconvenience throughout
the country from a lack of small
change. Merchants used postage
stamps, tokens of various forms, their
own promises to pay" or script, and
even buttons were employed as small
change, to be later redeemed by the
merchant in goods. 1t was to meet
such conditions as these that the gov
eminent issued small paper notes in
denominations Of 10, % and so cents~

WORK ALONG WRONG LINES
Writer Points Out Imperative Need
for Change in Present Legal and
Charity Systems.

A change In our legal system must
be made which will take account OF
the complex, life of the present, as
against the .old-fashioned form of liv-
ing, which brought with it temptation,
greed and jealousy. Persons who, on
account of wrong environment, have
stopped to illegitimate means to attain
their ends should be corrected, with
discipline If You please, but not with
brutal punishment. After correction
they should have the chance to make
an honest living; they should not be
ostracized as at present, so that there
is nothing else left for them to do but
to return to life of crime which
sooner or later reaches the depths.
when the state is forced to spend
thousands and thousands for their up
keep.
The creation Of begsars has never
been due to the exercise of kindness.
All beggars are made, more or less, by
the charity system. With charity
abolished and every individual under
standing that we are all born to work
and enjoy our work in accordance
with our fitness for the work we are
called upon to do, there will be no
need of charity, and crime and dis
ease will be lessened tremendously

SAYS COMMUNITY SLACKERS
SHOULD BE Welded OUT
Secretary of State Commercial Or
ganization Speaks at Club
u Luncheon

A. F. Marsh, of Chehalis, secretary
Of the Washington Association of
Commercial Organization secretaries,
was a guest of the Kennewick Com
mercial club at the regular weekly
luncheon Wednesday,.
During the war the activities of the
commercial organizations of the state
have reached their lowest ebb and Mr..
Marsh is touring the state in an effort
to revive interest and encourage CO.
ope1 alton between the various COM
nercial organizations of the state.
Gas a matter of war economy many
of the smaller towns of the state
junked their commercial machinery and
now when they need it more than ever
before, they are under the necessity
of rebuilding their organizations p
said Mr.. Marsh. "The next few years
are going to be the busiest ones the
commercial clubs and chambers of
commerce of this state have ever
known. Development is going to go
ahead by leaps and bounds and the
opportunities for bringing new indus
tries into the state are going to be
greater than ever before"
Mr. Marsh urged the adoption of a
broad policy of cooperation between
the commercial organizations of the
state that would tend to eliminate pet
ty rivalries between communities and
foster a state Of Washington spirit.
He scored the community Stacker, say
ing that he was as great menace
to the welfare of the community as
has been the war Stacker menace to
tie welfare of the nation. "The war
has taught us how to deal with the
national Stacker and we should apply
the same methods to the man who re-
fuses to become booster for his home
town his own county or his own. state, !"
said the speaker. "We should make
things so uncomfortable for the COM
munity Stacker that he will get out
and make room for some real, red
blooded booster"
Mr.. Marsh, who addressed the Pasco
chamber of commerce Tuesday eve
ming, was accompanied by A. F. Wehe,
Charles Johnson, Robert Jahnke and
G. F.. Stinson, of Pasco.

TO RECLAIM DISMAL SWAMI
Enofneers Have Long Had Their Eyes
on Picturesque Wilderness which
Can Be Made Valuable.

Dismal Swamp, which lies just south
of Norfolk, Va, partly in that state
and partly n North Clrolina, is one
of the most picturesque Iwildernesses
I'm the eastern United States. Although
IL may be reached from. the bus port
of Norfolk within a few hours by q
boat which plies daily up and down
small canal. the Dismal swamp re-
mains an unspoiled wilderness where
black bears and panthers still roam,
while the smaller creatures of the wild
exist in abundance.
The thick jungles md oostomless
bogs at once offer perfect hiding places
for the wild things and obstacles TO
the hunter which are often impaSsa-
BILE. Then, too, the swamp is alive
with snakes-the deadly copperhead
and moccasin being especially album
dant-and this fact alone detracts con-
siderably from the popularity of the
place as a pleasure resort. .-e.
1t is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light of naturalists and scientists OF
all kinds, who here find what they
most love-unspoiled, primitive nature.
The Dismal Swamp has great posi-
bilities of future usefulness. In the
first place, it contains some of the
deepest and richest deposits of peat
in the United States, and this fuel is
undoubtedly to be used in this coun-
try in the near future. Furthermore,
engineers say that the swamp can be
drained, and that it will then become
one of the richest bits of farmland in
America. Indeed, one man has already
demonstrated this by draining few
hundred acres of the swamp and rails
ing phenomenal crops on it.-Chicago

Hindenburg has won his most Inn
portani victory in the Flanders drive
through the capture OF BailIeul and
abandonment Of Wulverghem.
As he drove his wedge westward
between the Ypres-Comines and La
Bassee canals. Bailleul became the
key to Messines ridge and the Ypres
salient on the north and TO Hazebrouck
on the west.
Bailleul is located midway between
Armentieres and HaEebrouck. on .
sharp bend in the railway between
those two cities. II is seven miles
and a half east OF Hasebrouck and
about eight miles southwest Of Ypres.

miles. It Is about a mile and . half
wide and on its eastern face runs
northward TO Wytschaete.
This ridge is practically impregna-
bic from the east and only slightly
less difficult from the south or north.
One of Hindenburg's main objectiyes
in Flanders has been to work around
to the west Of this ridge and assault
the British positions there from the

BRIEF NEWS OF THE WAR

Reports from the battlefront In
Flanders Indicated that the British
army was responding Loyalty to the
appeal OF its commander and holding
grimly against renewed German as
saults.
Having driven the British from
Bailleul and Wyteschaete the Ger
mans also have gained other points
on the high ground south and south
west OF Ypres. After fighting with
huge forces for eight days the Ger
mans Tuesday got out OF the lowlands.
bur TO make their gains secure they
must push on further. The British,
resisting every step Of the way, are
striking hack doggedly.
The situation, 1t is admitted in
London, Is more serious than at any
time since the German drive in the
north began. Some British newspa-
pers already advise the evacuation Of
the hard won sector Ypres and the
Passchendaele ridge, which Is con-
tinuation OF the Messines ridge.
Documents captured from German
prisoners show conclusively that the
great new offensive OF the Germans
was launched with the intention OF
separating the British and French
armies and crushing Of the British.
Northwest of St. Mihlel the Ameri.
can troops have been compelled to
withstand a series of persistent as
sSults, second in intensity only to
those delivered by the Germans against
the British in Flanders. And the hon.
ors at the end rested with the Ameri-
cans, who met the foe at every style
of fighting he offered and decisively
defeated him,
