ANDERSON NOW
In MOVIE GAME
Former Assemblyman P. NJ.
Anderson Joins Ranks
of Promoters.
HAS VALUABLE OPTION

From politics to moving pictures
has been the path taken by Peter NJ.
Anderson, former assemblyman from
Kenosha county to the state legisla-
ture and now a resident of Los Angel
es, California, according to the word
received from the former Badger solon
today. Mr.. Anderson whose interest
in. motion picture concern had help
ed to draw him to CALIFORNIA; film
land for his home, is now the secre-
tary and treasurer of the California
Film Corporation, a company which
has important and valuable options for
releases in the near future.
It was known to his close friends in
Kenosha that Mr.. Anderson was inter
ested in the promotion game of the
movies but to all others in Kenosha
county, the word that he had forsaken
politics and agriculture for the film
game, came as complete surprise.
Mistake DivuIges Secret.
The secret was divulged this morn
ing when Former emblyman An
derson wrote his comment regarding
short clipping carried in the "Kenosha
Evening News" This clipping declar-
ed that Clara Kimball Young would
soon be seen in Charge 1t" drama
tization of the book by the same name
written by Irving Bachelor.
Mr.. Anderson wrote to say that the
company in which he was interested
held all the production rights for the
Irving Bachelor stories and that It
had not been sold to the Clara Kimball
Young corporation. "The price of the
option on this story was S5,000," he
writes, "and we are still holding it.
When you see the story "Charge It" on
the screen it will have been produced
by the Rocket Film Corporation"
awe have just screened keeping up
with Lizzie" the famous book by Irv-
ing Bachelor" writes the new motion
picture magnate. "You will. likely see
it in Kenosha in short time. at
tended our preview of it held in the
Florence theatre in Pasadena and it
held the crowd cheering to the end"
In a postscript to his letter, Mr..
Anderson confdes that the price paid
for the option on keeping up with
Lizzie" was $4,000.
Mr. Anderson is still a large prop
erty holder in Kenosha county but his
letter seems to indicate that he has
adopted California as his home.

Counterfeit Money
Circulated i'm II. S.

New York-Counterfeit currency and
raised government notes have been
discovered in circulation in increasing
numbers recently by banks and bust
ness houses throughout the country,
according to information compiled
and made public by the Manufactur-
ers' Trust company.
It's statement called attention to the
section of the penal code which pre-
scribes penalty for even the possess
sion of counterfeit money 1t must
be surrendered on demand to the secret
service. Those failing to do so are
subject to both fines and imprisonment.
The secret service redeems raised bills
held by innocent persons.
From revolutionary times until the
Civil War, counterfeiting was crime
often punished as a capital offense, the
statement said. During the war be-
tween the states issues of currency
were so large and varied that counter
feiting flourished, and the secret
service was organized to stamp out
the crime.
Counterfeiters, the article continues,
are recruited from all walks of life.
The lower type devote their activities
to coin,, while the more intelligent
operate with paper money, which re-
quires much more skill. Bill raisers
who boost a one dollar bank note into
a camouflaged "ten spot" and make
ten dollar bill look like one hundred
dollars, seldom change the portrait on
the paper which makes detection easier.
Fake Liberty Bonds and government
checks have been found by federal
agents during recent month along with
counterfeit coins, notes and stamps,
the statement said.
