U.S.. Agents Hunt
Counterfeiters'
Shop in Bluffs
81 Bills Being Raised to $40
By Clever Process-An-
other Found in City
Treasurer's Office.

Federal authorities redoubled their
efforts Saturday to locate what is
believed to be a regular workshop
somewhere in Council Bluffs for the
raising of ST bills to $40 bills, with
the discovery OF another raised bill,
issued to city fireman from the city
treasurer's Office.
1t was a Kansas City reserve note,
originally for 81. The figures in the
corners had been altered to read
$50" and even the word "one" in
the center had been changed to ten
Federal agents say it is the neatest
piece of work thus far discovered
from the mysterious workshop.
Its only discrepancy was that it
bore the picture of George Washing
ton instead Of the likeness Of Grover
Cleveland, which should adorn au-
thentic $40 reserve notes.
The deception was discovered
when the fireman presented the bill
at a Council Bluffs store. 1t was
turned over to federal authorities for
investigation.

Commission Men
Plan to Restrict
Stock Shipments
Wholesale Meat Trade Over
stocked Due to Large Move
ment of Cattle--May
Lower Retail Prices.

Chicago, Aug. 20.-~A movement
oy commission men and packers to
restrict incoming shipments OF live
stock, and which eventually may
have the effect of forcing retail
prices OF meat down, came today in
an appeal sent broadcast by Everett
{. Brown, president OF the National
Live Stock exchange.
"The dressed beef trade is in a
demoralized condition. it was ex-
planned. Although wholesale prices
of beef have dropped until forcquar-
ters are selling in some places at !
cents a pound, retail prices have not
come down.
With retail prices UP the public
is not buying. With that condition
existing the retailer, OF course, is
not selling aud is consequently not
buying from the wholesaler, who i'll
turn has restricted his orders from
the packers. Meanwhile at the west
cfn markets the usual rail ship
irents of cattle for this time OF year
NC DtlHR ISSClNcu dllu tHC pdSkCi
are converting the shipments into
dressed meats.
The result has been that eastern
beef markets especially have be-
come congested and a disaster is
threatened in Chicago and other
eastern markets unless loading OF
live cattle in the country is ar
rested"
The appeal to shippers to put as
few cattle on the rails as possible
was made only after a general sur
vey OF the beef situation.
The solution OF the situation, ac-
cording to commission men and
packers. lies in the hands OF 'he re-
taller. The wholesale price 6 beef
has been steadily declining while the
retail price has been held virtually
on the same level If the retail
prices were lowered i'll comparison
with the decline in wholesale prices,
it is argued that the public would be
stimulated into buying the cheaper
cuts OF meat, thus opening the mar
ket OF distribution all the way along
the line.

JOHN BETH GETS THE TAX COL
LECTORSHIP FOR TWO YEARS

His Nearest Competitor Was Walter

Partisan Feeling in Levy Court
In a lively fight before the New
Castle County Levy Court, John Beth
was appointed tax collector of Black
bird Hundred. 1t had been erroneous
ly reported that Mr.. Beth, who had
served several successful terms, would
not be a candidate and that Clarence
A. Johnson, young farmer of Thor
oughfare Neck would be run in his
stead. Mr.. Beth got in the fight and
downed all opponents in the race. His
Democratic competitor was Walter
Donovan, of Thoroughfare Neck. Com
missioner Frank r. Jones, Republican,
presented the names of the Democrat
| it candidates to the court. That Mr..
Jones would bolt the slate was anti
cipated by the Republican members of
Levy Court, and after a conference
with their Democratic colleagues, S.
A. Collins, Democratic member, voted
with the Republican commissioners.
Angered by the action of Commission
er Jones, Commissioner Boyd Mccoy
declared that, "this is the first time
that a Democrat was nominated for
tax collector by a Republican Levy
Court Commissioner, and the fact
should go down in history" 1t is
claimed that the election portends the
election of William A. Scott, of Town
send as the next county assessor. The
tax collectors for New Castle county,
who will serve during the ensuing two
years, were elected as follows: Frank

AS the morning dawned upon as
Eve the sun had risen high
Our mother heard her Father calling
Calling her home, to her home in the sky.
Oh how we'll miss her in our earthly home
That home which she cherished with such
pride
But in that Heavenly home, there she'll roam
For her spirit in contentment will abide.
Weep not children for your loved one that's
left you
But think of her bright on that golden shore
She has only gone ahead that you may come
and meet her
When your earthly cares of life are DER.
The sister of the home will miss her most
of all
For in years gone by they Iabored hand in
hand
They lived life of devotion each obeying the
others call
Some day. some where. well understand.

BLACKBIRD
BIackberries and Dewberries More
Plentiful Despite Weather


Blackbird, June L. Blackberries
and dewberries, however, are found to
be abundant, the spring weather evil
IDENTIFY suiting them and advancing
their growth. AS the general fruit
crop was destroyed by the frosts own
ers Of land with black and dewberry
bushes are saving them with the hope
of finding a market for canning the
berries. Local Gamers are prepared
to take hold of the berries in the alb
sence of other fruit.
Magnolias are abundant in this
locality and tourists passing through
the State stop and gather them from
the swamps and low lands. Old resi-
dents who like the sweet perfume of
magnolias are seeking to preserve the
trees from the havoc of rose bugs by
planting small bushes in their gar
dens and other places where they can
be guarded against the attacks of in
sects. In some cases the buds are be.
ing covered with paper and other Gov
erings to protect them until they
bloom.
