These book accounts kept by the
business men are pretty good evil
dence concerning the quality of the
person represented by them. If you
have dealt honestly and promptly with
a business man his book record will
show it. If you have a large account
of continuous standing, or if you have
refused to pay and have @beat'' him
out of an amount, the book account
will show it. The book accounts re-
fleet the nature of your character,
whether good or bad. They are just
like the records of the police court.
When the police want to know wheth-
er the person arrested is an old Of
fender or not, they look at the court
records. If the name frequently APP
pears on the record he is dealt with
accordingly. If your book account
with the local merchant shows
pronaptness or a desire to pay he will
give you an 0. K. If it shows you in
bad he cannot honestly give a good
report.
Every young person, whether it is
realized or not, is making good book
record which indicates character. On
that character will depend the future
of the man or woman. What are you

MANY BAD BILLS COMING IN

Counterfeiters are very active IN all
parts of the country at present and
their efforts are largely devoted to
raising federal reserve notes and fed
era1 reserve bank notes A nation
wide campaign has started among
banks, trust companies and the treas
ury departments of railroads to
give information which will lead to
quick detection of these bills
One way in which the general pub
lie can aid the government and fnan-
cia1 Institutions is to carefully scrut-
inize all federal reserve and federal
reserve bank notes Genuine notes of
all issues bear the following portraits
$1.OO-Washington
$2-OO-Jefferson.
$500 Lincoln.
$1,000 Jackson.
20.O0-Cleve1and.
$50. OO-Grant.
$10O-Frank1in.
| IF you are handed a $40 federal re
serve note, and find a photograph OF
George Washington thereon, you can
be assured that the counterfeiting
chain has raised the note from 81 00
bill. By keeping in mind the pictures
that go with these notes, the average
citizen will not be susceptible to
| counterfeiting, and by maintaining q
constant a1ertness some day assist in
| bringing the criminals to justice.
Counterfieiters are raising notes or
/ this species of money and large
amounts of these bills are now in cir
culation in many localities. Most PEG
pie are careless in accepting money
only casually g1ancing at the large
numbers to learn denominations be
fore readily accepting a note. There
fore the counterfeiters are reaping 9
rich harvest.

BETTER GUARD YOUR CHICKENS

For the last several weeks there
has been quite demand in this vicin-
ity for chickens, the kind of demand
which comes principally at night. To
speak more clearly chicken theft has
been doing business in this com
n1unity. A few weeks ago a sack full
of hens was found in wheat field
south of town on the Jones ranch and
though the place was carefully watch
ed during the night no one was seen
to COME near the place in search of
them. However, the next day some
parties were seen in the vicinity
whose actions were rather suspicious
but no evidence could be found against
them. Since then, small numbers of
chickens have disappeared from other
focks and last week bunch of
thirty young ones were taken from
the flock belonging to May Blomberg.
This stealing is becoming frequent and
people will be more on their guard
and the guilty parties will likely be
caught. The laws have attached a
pretty good sized penalty to the crime
of chicken stealing. Besides, only a
moral degenerate will stoop to such
work.

WAGES -lD HIGH COST OF
5 LIVING. "

A new turn is given to the race be-
tween prices and wages by the letter q
the advisory board Of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers to President
Wilson, asking him to take immediate
steps to, secure reduction in the cost Of
living. The communicat calls atten-
Lion to the fact that, notwithstanding
the substantial increases in wages that
have come to the engineers, they are
really earning less than they did before
the war. This can be demonstrated, 2
says the communication, by simply
taking as an illustration a daily wage
of five dollars prior to the war, which at
that time was worth five hundred
cents, and today it is worth approx
mately, judging from competent author
ity, only $2,15.' Unless something is
done to bring relief the Brotherhood will
feel called upon to demand a further
increase in wages. But they recognize
the futility Of such course if. prices
are to continue rising indefinitely. It
is for this reason that they urge the
President to do something to stop the
advance in prices.

THE. BRITISH SPOILS OF WAR.
From The Nation.

(Which nation can exhibit the most
spoils? Great Britain has not only,
according to our Irish friends, recovered
her lost American colonies, whose Presi-
dent she has recently hailed as great
Englishman," and whose generals, head
ed by Sir John J. Pershing, she has
received into an order Of knighthood,
but she has also acquired vast spoils
in Africa. She has dined off the Presi-
dents Fourteen Scraps of Paper, having
gobbled up several little would-be self
determinates; has, with Mr.. Wilson's
aid, handed slice of China to Japan,
imposed economic slavery upon her
North Sea rivals, and returned the
freedom OF the seas to the limbo of
dreary writers on international law
he has acquired Arabia and Persia, has.
had the American democracy seal the
doom of Egyptian self-deter1nination,
and has made an economic mendlcant
of Italy by giving her coal only when
she sits up and begs. She has secured
about all the objects of her secret treaties,
enlisted American credit in the work of
redeeming with the sword her Czarist
Russian bonds, has disarmed Germany
while increasing her own ornaments,
and has, some good critics frankly
say, imposed upon the world that hege-
mony for which Germany had lusted.
She may even have obtained a league
of nations to maintain her in her newly
expanded colonial empire secure from
secession or rebellion But have we
Americans. not got some spoils, some
moral booty from the war? One of
our official purposes in going to war
was to ensure the freedom Of the seas.
This laudable object does not get even
honorable mention in the treaty or in
the League. Our new treaty here
follows the fashion set by. the Treaty
of Paris in 1872, in never mentioning
the matters which had precipitated the
war. President Wilson did not even
salve the Americans with a felicitous
phrase. General Haig is right. It is
a grand thing to be an Englishman these
days and read the imperialistic balance

DOING BRITAIN'S DIRTY WORK

I wonder if people are not getting
tired of all the ''bunk" that is being
talked about democracy in this country
while they are hearing at the same time
of some things that are being done in
the name Of democracy. There are the
cases of the Indian agitators now i'm
prisoned here and held for deportation
because of their propaganda in behalf
of self-government for their native land.
AS practical folk, helpless in the storm
of passion, we may have reconciled our
selves to the activities OF or authorities
against those men while the war was
on, in accordance with the theory that
we were bound to suppress revolutionary
movements calculated to injure the
military efforts of our ally, Great Britain.
To the extent that the revolutionists
were fighting England they were aiding
our enemies as we'll as England's. But
the war is over now One would think
that, this being the case, we should
not be making war upon the nationalist
of India ....
Within the past few weeks four more
Hindus have been arrested for deporta-
ton to India. The men are D. K.

Lal, of San Francisco, and Bhagwan
and Santokh Singh, Of Seattle. These
with Gopal Singh, arrested for trans
portation some months ago, Taraknath
Das, now in Leavenworth prison, and
some others, if sent back home, will be
in effect condemned to death, for that
has been the fate Of their fellows in
agitation at the hands of the British
Government. These men were arrested
after the war. What for? Why, for
exactly the thing Of which Washington,
Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and others
held in immortal memory by all Ameri-
cans, were guilty; they have been strug-
Cling to free their country from the
rule of the stranger. They have been
endeavoring to secure for their own
people that self-determination about
which Woodrow Wilson has been dis
coursing so eloquently for at least two
years. The information upon which
they have been arrested has .beensupplied
by agents, secret and public, Of the
British Government The British con
sui at San Francisco, Mr.. A. Carnegie
Roos, has informed our authorities that
if he has not already given enough proof
against them he can furnish more ii
