SWINDLES BANKS
BOOK AGENT LEAVES TRAIL OF
FORGED CHECKS.

Sioux Falls, April 23.-When full
found that scores of banks in South
Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota
and other states were victimized by
a young man who made a tour of the
Leslie-J Judge company, of New York
and took subscriptions for Leslie's
magazine and a history of the war.
His plan was to obtain notes from
payable to the New York concern,
Before leaving a town it was his prac-
tice to sell the notes at one of the
local banks. But it developed that
forgeries. the good ones evidently
having been sent to the office of the
New York company. The work on
the spurious notes was faultless,
the signatures especially being so
cleverly traced that the sharp-eyed
bank Officials-who we're familiar
with the signatures of the persons
who purported to have signed the
notes-were unable to detect the for
geries.
The banks did not discover the
~forgeries until the original notes
were sent to them for collection. In
the meantime the young man had
opportunity. and he wished, to place
thousands of miles between himself
and his victims. AT Vermillion it is
estimated that al the result of a few
hours work he obtained $40.

While the original proposition

While the original proposition
was to raise money enough to erect
a statue of Mr.. Howard, 1t developed
that it would require something like
SO 200 to do this. 1t was finally
voted to take the $1,000 and have
erected over the grave of Charley
Howard a suitable monument az
|propriately marked in Woodlawn
cemetery.
Z. j. Berdahl, of Garretson
George w. Burnside, of Sioux Falls
and Henry Solem and o. S. Thomp,
son, of Baltic, were appointed a com,
mittee to assemble the funds and tt
purchase and have erected over the
grave of Mr.. Howard the monument
as directed.

AN OVERWHELMED MOTHER.

If the steps a mother takes and
the work she does could only be
measured by figures, what an array
they would make. Through girlhood,
wifehood and motherhood woman
tolls on, often suffering from back
ache, pain in side, headache, nervous
ness and sleeplessness, symptoms of
more serious ailments peculiar to her
sex. Thousands of such women, how

by the letters of recommendation
continually being published in this

A LITTLE TALK WITH
 AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
Some Common Mistakes

Some Common Mistakes
 Oh, but MT. Scarborough, am sure held my kodak perfectly still.
 No, this picture was made by bulb explosion and you used no tripod. I know, but I was leaning firmly against tree and holding the kodak against my chest.
 It cant be done, so don't try it.. Another says, but my pictures were made snap shot and yet they looked moved. When you're looking into the finder and all interested and say ready" you give the bulb real hard squeeze and grit your teeth as though as to say, T sure got that one extra good" But you had the camera in motion at the instant of explosion. It is a very common fault, so look out for it.
 My pictures of close-ups are so often not clear, while my distant views are, says one. If your machine is set for fifty or one hundred feet everything forty feet or farther away is clear, but as you get nearer your focusing must be more exact. So when you get up to eight or ten feet your object must be that distance: no more, no less. So many pictures come In hopelessly underlined and when we say 50 we are told 1t can't be for the sun was shining brightly. Yes, but what time of day? Oh, well, 1t must have been between and in the evening. Your light is too weak. besides you get unnatural shadows at that time of the day. Make your pictures be- tween 10 and o'clock, If possible. But, MT. Scarborough, can you really afford to do good work and do the developing free. Most certainly not, if we intend to make anything I out of 1t. But we are new here and 1t pays to advertise.

LAPS TO STUDY
 SOCIAL LIFE
 OF AMERICA

SAN FRANCISCO, May 22 (by As sociaed Press)-The Japanese Asso- citation of America with headquarters here has issued instructions relative to the Americanization movement to it's local affiliated associations throughout the states of California, Utah, Colorado, and Nevada. Their plans and efforts are to work in har- mony with the division of American ization of the department of interior and it's local agencies.
 The instructions read:
 "The first step to be taken in the Americanization movement will be public popular lectures with objects, first to encourage the learning of the English language and, second, to give knowledge of American life, its form and it's spirit. In order that we may successfully carry out this program we have engaged s. Kurihara, Ph. D. to give his entire time for the work. He is constantly on his lecture tour in the interest of the movement. To fa- cilitate his work and make it more productive we earnestly request that you render your generous assistance. No doubt local conditions differ in diff ferent communities but if you deem it advisable to establish new educational centers or to utilize the existing equip ment kindly give your support to the undertaking.
 "To make the work successful it is vitally important that the association should seek the counsel and assistance of the public organs and men of the localities, such as newspapers, schools, churches, physicians, clergy men, and teachers. Out of these or ganize a special committee to execute the work. We feel confident that they are more than willing to cooperate with you in the work of this nature. On the other hand it will be we'll for you to work in cooperation with the local Y. M. c. A., churches, board of health, and the board of education.
 We call your special attention to the resolution adopted last February at our delegates conference The local associations are required to ob- tain an oath from the parents hesir ing to call their sons or daughters to this country from Japan to the eff feet that they promise to put thEm to school to study English at leaSt one year after arrival. Without the pro per procedure of the above no cer- tificate for the application for pass ports shall be given.'"
 "The following suggestions may be of help to you in choosing the topics for lectures: Political organization and conditions in America, economies, industry, social life, education, home life, good housekeeping, baby care, health and hygiene, first aid and the like. Other good wholesome entertain ments, and amusements to cultivate the taste of American social life."

Topeka Grocers VIII Not
Handle Them After Jan. 2.
Fair Price Commission Sched-
ule Too Low, They Say.
WARM WEATHER MAY RESCUE
Only Chance for Price to Drop
to the Ordered Level.
Shortage Threatened on Ma
tiOnally Advertised Goods.

1opeKa housewives will face an egg
famine after Jan. 2, the date fair, price
commissions schedules become effect
i've, unless warm weather increases
production, grocerS declared today.
PRODUCERS and wholesalers will ship
eggs out of the city rather than sell
them so as to allow retailers a margin
on the so cents a dozen set by the
commission. 1T was declared.
Several groceries, it was reported
have already stopped handling eggs
despite the fact the commission's S
prices do not go into effect until Jan.
2. The majority of retailers, how
ever, asserted they were still selling
both fresh and storage product for old
prices and would continue to do so un-
til the fixed prices become effective.
Warm Weather May Help.
One or two grocers were optimistic
as to the fixed price. They said if
warm weather continued production
would increase sufficiently to drive
buying prices down so a margin could
be made on the quotation to consum-
ers. Eggs the middle of last January
were selling for 35 cents a dozen.
Cut Nationally Advertised Product.
Several grocers also said Foday that
prices set will prohibit sale in Topeka
of several nationally advertised prod
ucts because retailers cannot afford
to accept the margin of profit allowed.
This. it was declared, will include
brands of lard substitutes, crackers,
beans and others.

BLAMES AMERICA
Italian General Says Fiume
Problem Caused by Capital.
Wanted City as Port of Penetra-
tiOn for Central Europe.

Rome, Dec. 2S.-Anglo-American
capitalists were blamed for opposition
to Italy's claims to Fiume by General
Robilant, speaking in the senate to-
day.
''Anglo-American commerce." he
declared, needed Fiume as a port of
penetration into central Europe, pre-
ferring to have it in the hands of a
small county rather than under the
control of a great power. This plan
was backed by the peace conference
which was favorable to the Slav peo-
pies, wishing them to form a barrier
against d resurrection of Germany.
"Anglo-American capitalists select
ed three ports for its purpose, Fiume,
Danzig and Constantinople, assigning
Fiume to Jugo Slavia the second to
Poland and the last to Turkey. The
last named country is under control
of the league of nations and we all
know the league of nations lies in the
hands of the Anglo-Saxons."
General Robilant. who was COM
mander of the Fourth army during
the war, Italian representatives on the
interallied military commission at
Versailles and member of the COM
mission which conducted an inquiry
into disorders at Fiume last July said
that Italy's handling of the Fiume
situation had been a succession of
blunders. He closed by saying discoI-
tent is creeping into the army because
of in!ustiees which have been COM

DOCTOR ACCUSED
Assistant Found Dead, His Re-
vOlyer Beside Her.
He Relies on Thirteen-Year-O Old
to Clear Him.

Louisville, KY, Dec. 29.-Dr. Chris
topher G. Schott, AZ, Louisville physi-
clan, was in Jail here early today
awaiting completion of arguments on
his motion for bail on the charge of
murder and Laurene Gardner, a girl
of thirteen. on whose testimony he re-
lies to bea- out his declaration that he
is innocent. was in the detention home
on a charge of delinquency.
These developments have come to
the front since December "a, when
Elizabeth F o I'd Griffith, Doctor
Schotts 17-year-old assistant, was
found dead on the floor of the physi-
clans office with a bullet thru her
heart and his automotic pistol by her
side.
Examination by the coroner estab-
lished that Miss Griffith had been
killed between one and three o'clock in
the afternoon. Questioned by the
police Doctor Schott declared he had
been delivering Christmas presents to
a number of his patrons between those
hours. The little Gardner girl stoutly
maintained to the authorities that
she was in his company. The next
move of the police, however. was to
cause her arrest on the charge of de-
Hnquency.
Doctor Schott asserts the belief that
Miss Griffith committed suicide
while the coroner points to the alb
sence of p owder marks on her clothing
as evidence that it would have been
extremely difficult for her to have
shot herself.
