SCHOOL PARADE A SUCCESS
Boys and Girls Expended Much Eff
fort in Preparations For 1t

The high school parade which was
held Friday afternoon was one of the
best Abilene has seen for u long time
and showed hard work on the part
Of the students who prepared the
floats and decorated the cars. The
Boys band made its usual fine ap-
pearance ut the head of the process
sion and the four classes OF senior
high school had attractive floats. The
athletic float showed boxing match
in the center and on, the back Of the
truck rode two football men holding
between them goat, labeled "Em-
pOria'. The department of vocation
al agriculture had an exceptionally
attractive float. u corn field with
shocks Of corn standing about and a
farmer surveyin ghis field The de-
partment Of architectural drawing
had trailer to truck, bearing u
miniature frame house with little
department had IL float representing
busy office. Next came Roman
chariot in which football hero rode.
Perhaps the most unique float in
the parade was that of the depart
ment of music. 1t was truck with
high sides, representing staff with
a measure of music written on it.
The notes were holes through which
boys and girls looked and sang as
they passed by.
The Booster was not forgotten and
was represented by float arranged
to look like newspaper office. A
press was in the float and Justify
turned out handbills advertising the
Booster. The Hi-y, Y. w. and Eng
lish club also had appropriate floats.
The history department had car
decorated with flags of different ma
tions The science department had a
radio set.
The Golden Belt Cleaners had a
decorated car and other decorated
ears, belonging to high school stu
dents followed The Junior high
school had decorated bicycles, pom
les and marching boys and girls as
its part in the procession.

HOW YOU CAN TELL.
BOGUS BANKNOTE ISSUE
Abilene Banker Slips Public Some
Tin on Bills

Tip on Bills
If. people would only familiariZe
themselves with certain features on
notes they would never be taken in
by notes which have been raised or
cOunterfeitcd.
There are certain ways which
everyone who has to handle currency
can memorize and never be taken in
by counterfeit bills or those which
have been raised. according to G. w.
Rees, cashier of the Abilene National
bank
"All Federal Reserve notes and
Federal Reserve bank notes can be
identified by the portraits on them.
One dollar bills bear the portrait of
Washington; 50, that Of Jefferson !;
So Lincoln; $40, Jackson; 500,
Cleveland; $50, Grant, If one is
lucky enough to have notes of larger
denomination, they will find Frank
Inns picture on the 500 bills; Mar
shall on the $500; Hamilton on the
1000, and Madison on the $4,000
ones.
'On government notes" continued
Mr.. Rees, there is an arithmetical
method Of determining the authen-
ticity of bill. All government
notes, not national bank bills, are
printed Of one denomination, eight
on a sheet and lcttered respectively
A, r. G. ID, Il, +, G and II. Each
note bears treasury number. Divide
this number. or this last two figures
by four If the remainder is l the
check letter will be A or E; if two
remains then the check letter is
either B or F.; il three, G or G.; If no
remainder, ID or II. If the result Is
otherwise, the numbering is. wrong
and the bill is counterfeit"

NEW SWINDLE UNCOVERED
Swindler Invests . Dollar and Pro-
fits $3.50 !

40 SVOV
There have been a great number
Of varieties Of swindles that people
have known, but new variety was
uncovered by Postoffice Inspector w.
F. Altman of Wichita when he mr.
rested man in Muskogee. Okla,
for using the mails to defraud. The
man Is being held In Muskogee in
default Of $1,000 bond, awaiting an
order of the district court for trans
fer to Wichita. The prisoner, whose
correct name has not been deter.
mined, operated in the country in
southern Kansas and northern Okla
homa.
His scheme was to advertise job
printing press at bargain in the
Publishers Auxiliary, to be delivered
to the first printer who sent his
check. Last May he had headquar.
ters in Wichita, and Is said to have
netted $3.50 from dollar advertise
ment. He then disappeared and In
spector Altman thought that he had
lost him.
The latter part of September the
Western Newspaper Union saw an
advertisement similar to the first
one in the same publication, over the
name s. B. Wallace, Tulsa, Okla,
and notified the inspector. He To-
Gated the man Of many aliases in
Poteau and arrested him.
Wallace, or whatever his name
may be, is wanted in Fort Smith,
Ark, and Gentry, Ark, for working
the same swindle. He will be tried
at the March term of the United
States district court.

KILL|GREW
WILL LEAD TICKET
Political Observers De-
clare He Will Have the
Largest County Vote
Next Monday.

who will lead the republican
county ticket Tuesday?
That is about the only betting
proposition that Is left and Johnny
KilHgrew. candidate for clerk, ap-
pears to be the favorite with Otto
Fif1eld. candidate for treasurer. sec
ond.
More votes were cast for clerk in
the primary than for any other Of
fee. Killigrew received 1900 and
Charles Dyer 10000.
There is every reason to believe
that Killigrew will not only get his
but a percentage OF the democratic
and inde pendent vote.
The general attitude is this: KILL
grew has earned the Job. He has
served the party as precinct COM
mitteeman and county chairman for
ten years-he is about thirty years
Of age now-and he has won the
poorly paid Job, and as a student Of
law at the Kent College in Chicago.
Killigrew has prepared himself for
the office of clerk. Moreover he has
native ability.
There IS no egotism or bragadocio
about Killigrew. He is modest
fellow. IN these days of sophistica-
ton and skepticism it is refreshing
to know a young man like Killigrew,
whose hobby is American history.
When he is with his intimate friends
Johnny delights in reciting bits of
eloquence from the speeches OF Pat
rick Henry. Daniel Webster and the
venerated statesman Of by. gone
days He Is a great admirer of AL
ber J. .Beveridge and thinks The
Life OF John Marshall" is a sacred
document
Nothing would be farther from
the truth than to say that Johnny
is a frivilous young man. He IS by
nature studious and serious. He has
a great reverence for the establish
ed Institutions of government and
for the men of ability.
Of course he win be elected clerk
and everybody will be glad 1t
means everything to Johnny and to
his wife.
1t may be only the beginning OF
his career. If Johnny continues to
read and study as he has the past
ten years, and to serve his party
as faithfully. he should continue to
climb. He has already won the af-
fection of many influential men and
the confidence Of majority Of the
voters of Lake county

the motto was well observed. Fol-
