Logan, Feb, "A deputy United
States marshal has been IN Logan
and Missouri Valley for two days
gathering evidence which is said
will result in wholesale arrests on
charges Of entering ana looting a tank
car filed with California wine.
The car of wine was being shipped
to New York and was under gov
eminent seal. 1t is charged that
when the car was set out here be
cause of some bad order. the seal
was broken and large quantities OF
the wine were stolen and carried
away. One man living in Missouri
Valley says that the night hours in
that town and surrounding country
were enlivened until morning by
autos and truck loads of men 60
ing TO and coming from Logan, and
that the wine was carried away in
buckets and all sorts Of receptacles.
II is rumored that sixty men and
boys came to Logan from Missouri
Valley during the night and that men
under the influence of the liquor
could be seen lying in all sorts Of
places.
Being an interstate shipment and
under the seal of the United States
government. the offense is a. serious
one If it can be proven and the claim
is made that nearly 100 arrests are
likely to he made.
It is claimed by some Of the late
corners they were told the car sprung
a leak and that the wine was in
danger Of being tapped up by the
dry earth and gave that as a reason
for their saving it. Many scandalous
stories are in circulation as a re-

PENNIES GROW INTO NOTES
Interesting Connection Between the
Extremes of Currency in Com
monweaIth of Australia.

Toward the end of each year PEN
MES and halfpennies go by the hun
dred thousand into Australian chill
dren's money boxes and are held back
by big business firms in anticipation
of the coming inflow of customers.
To cope with the demand, the Syd-
ney and Melbourne minis have been
steadily at work since June last wear.
In four months 100000 new pennies
and 100000 new halfpennies were sent
into circulation in Victoria alone. II
Is equally interesting to note that half
the total commonwealth note issue
consists of f1, 900 notes, of which there
are more than $4,000 notes in circu-
lation, as against the 1900 odd E1OO
notes. There are about 13.5OO.O 900 Ell
notes, and the total commonwealth
note issue is stated as ESQ ,269.719. In
n vigorous young commonwealth the
connection between the $1,000 note
and the newly minted copper in the
child's money box is not difficult to
imagine.

There are vast deposits of shale in

that statement may best he appreci-
