Americans Were Not Boosters, Declares
 Australian Leader

sydney, Australia, Sept. 19-"The Americans were not 'skiters'" said Charles E. W. Bean, the Australian official war correspondent after a luncheon given to him by the New South Wales Institute of Journalists Mr. Bean prior to the war was a Syd- ney newspaper man.
 "Skiting" in the Australian vernac- ular is boasting, perhaps the nearest approach to it's meaning, in Ameri- can slang, being our-fushing."
 T have never yet heard an Ameri can say that America won the war, but have read it." he went on. America did not win the war. There IS no doubt of that America helped to finish it.''

LIBERTY BOND LURE CAUSES MANY BANK
 ROBbER|ES IN WEST
Present Wave of Thefts Also is Attributable to
 Unrest.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 19.-To the lure of the Liberty bond coupled with the unrest in the wake of the war is attributed the present bank robbine wave in Kansas that has resulted in the holding up or burglarizing of twice as many of the states financial institutions during the first two thirds of this year as occurred in 1918 and 1917.
 Results of the plundering of the states banking houses by an alleged organized gang range from net gain of S5 to one bank where hold up was attempted to loss of approximately $5O,OO0 to a national bank, records kept bv w. w. Bowman. secretary of the Kansas Bankers association, show. Up to September 5, twenty-four state and national banks had been held up or burglariz- ed in Kansas, with a loss estimated at recent meeting of the executive committee of the Kansas State Bank ers' association as totalling nearly $300,00O.
 Two of the twenty-four bank rob- berries concerned national banks while lIlc IcIHdullIlS CWGIlCy- -CWO OCCuII GU at state banks. This was imputed to the larger number of state banks, there being HOO as against 240 na- tional banks, and to the fact that the smaller towns as a rule have state banks. the capital required for a state bank only $10.0O0 as against S25 coo for a national bank.
 "A reckless bandit set that cares for nothing and realizes that some day it's members will be apprehended is responsible for the depredations on cur financial institutions. in my belief" said MT. Bowman. "The un- balanced. restless spirit of the times has broueht out the little bit of bad in reckless set of men who feel the greed for gold and are drawn on by the fact that our banks are full of currency, Liberty bonds, war savings stamps, etc. This is the type that re- fuses to work despite the fact that higher wages are being paid than evc~ before"
 Asked if penalties provided by the state law were satisfactory. MT. Bowman said the law provided for minimum of 10 years and amaxi- mum of 30 years imprisonment, add ing if a man wanted to rob bank " penalty of 40 to 50 years would not stop him any more than penalty of 30 years.'

STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluke McFluke.)

AS l try to write this stuff there
is a dance in full swing just across
the alley, and l find my old Oliver
behaving rather badly, sometimes
two-stepping, occasionally jaZzing,
and now and then hitting up the fox
trot, or coon pace, maybe.
Mr.. T. ]. Stevens, down at the
hotel, has a pair of deep green sox
adorned with horizontal white stripes,
that he wears during Teachers In
stitutes, the first day of every cir
cult court, first Mondays, and he says
he expects to wear said sox during
the fair if nothing happens, 'twixt
now and then.
The first squib herein was writ
the night of the dance. This is being
shot on prayer-meeting night, and as
we thump the old Oliver, there is be-
ing waited through our window
sweet strains, borne on pleasant, fe-
male voices, of There's Great Day
Coming" We just naturally went
to wondering, when, where and for
whom.
We had letter from "Mutt' Hun
ter a few days ago and he said he
didn't care anything at all about
staying in Salt Lake City or anywhere
in tie Mormon lard. He just figared
a fellow could have better luck a:
being ruler of his own household in
Old Kentucky than he could in the
land of multiplicity of "The better,
or major halves &C."
