issued billions of dollars in Liberty
bonds, Victory notes, war savings GER
tlficates, thrift stamps and treasury
certificates of indebtedness. These
were all new to the people and of I'M
familiar design. They constituted a
paradise for counterfeiters.
Reprint on U. S. Paper.
One of the most difficult obstacles
for the counterfeiter is the distinctive
paper on which government notes are
printed. 1t is made by a secret process
and has so individual an appearance
and feeling that almost every one can
detect a substitute. All denominations
of American money are printed on
notes of a uniform size. Therefore a
favorite device of the cOunterfeiter
is to take a 81 bill and raise its
denomination. He will bleach it
and have n piece of nearly white dis
tinctive currency paper on which he
will print note of higher denOm-
nation. Such notes are hard to de-
prints $50 or 500 note of new and
unfamiliar series.
Another scheme is to take a note
and change only the figures This
proves n snare to the cOunterfeiter If
he gives such note to a man famil-
lar with the designs of money. Such
a man knows that a $40 note has a
buffalo on its design, but no $50 or
500 issue has. This sort of counter
feiting has increased with the new
money because the counterfeiters know
that few people are familiar with the
designs of the various new issues.
The same is true Of the Liberty bond
issues No two issues are alike, and
a cOunterfeiter changing the denomina-
ton of Il 500 bond to $1,000 could
readily be detected by one who has
studied bond designs.
Experts in Secret Service.
The secret service at Washington
has many experts who are very hard
to fool with even the cleverest coun-
terfeit, and while counterfeiting has
increased to great extent, the circu-
lation of counterfeit money has not
done so. The new counterfeit issues
are detected very early in their ca
reers and the source discovered and
stopped. 1t means more work and
constant vigilance for the government
agents and greatly increased investi-
gative work.
The appearance of women in the
counterfeiting profession has caused
the secret service many difficulties.
The women are not engaged in the
actual manufacture of counterfeits,
but are confederates in the passing of
the spurious currency
Counterfeiters seldom work alone
in spite of the fact the records show
that only the counterfeiter who plays
n lone hand meets with success for
any extended period But it is hard
to practice the profession singly. The
great difficulty is in getting the coun-
terfeit money into circulation. To ac-
complish this the master cOunterfeiter
has accomplices. The general prac-

WEALTHY KLONDYkE PIONEER

Seattle, Feb. August Anderson Frojendahl, former resident of Doug las, Alaska, accompanied by his wife and their three children, all perished when his pleasure yacht foundered in Australian water, according to Il cablegram received by Andrew Chil- berg, Swedish vice consul
 Frojendahl is well known to Klon dykers of the early days as one of the first to wrest a large fortune from the Northern gold fields After his good fortune, Frojendahl, instead of dissipating his wealth in riotous living as many former Klondyke millionaires have done. returned to Sweden and settled down to the life of gentleman of leisure. True to the traditions of his Viking ances- tors he purchased a luxurious pleas ure yacht and took to the sea, not bent on piratical or exploration ex- petitions, but to visit new lands and new peoples: to educate his children and enjoy the fuits of his labor. It was his cusom to spend many months on his yacht, returning to his large estate in Sweden.
 Accompanied by his entire family, Frojendahl was enjoying one of his usual pleasure trips into the South Seas when overtaken by a typhoon and his yacht foundered with all on board being lost.

In addition there are dozen infants who must have morning and after noon nap as well.
 Children come to the mission through many channels. An api- dc'nic may sweep a certail village leaving score or more of orphaned children in its wake; through sick ness or death of native par ants a child cannot be provided for; or as too often the case--a legener- ate white deserts his native wife and family. In no instance are there gruelling questions asked--no third degree before child can gain admission Aid is given immed1- ately and indefinitely. If the native parents can furnish a little seal or reindeer meat, fur garment or two, or part of the catch from his net, it is cheerfully and thankfully ac- cepted; but it is not compulsory, nor professed to be, and in no case is T trace OI ldNOIlllSll eNtl Sio"h
 Besides the subsistence a1ready mentioned as furnished by natives, the little inhabitants of the mission consume 100 barrels of flour and 25 barrels of cereals yearly. Two tons of sugar and 55 cases of milk are used in the same period. \ thousand dollars worth of foot gear is worn out annually: 125 tons of coal are burned to make their quar- ters comfortable. As commeT- cial asset alone the mission is worthy of our heartiest support

A MERRl 0RI0US
 MISS!0n

We wonder how many people, in this section realize the great amount of good done by the local Lavinia Wallace Young Mission for Eskimo Children, under the supervision of Rev. and Mrs. Baldwin--or the en- ormous burden it lifts from the pri- vate citizens of our community
 An organization founded entirely on charity and absolutely without red tape, it does one good to visit this home where happiness and bounding health are the dominant
 keynotes. Smiling. happy. beam ing faces in an Orphanage--is it pos sible, we ask. and what wonderful form of management and care has so reversed the popular notion regard ing such institutions.
 In the first place there is not d single worker at the Mission but who has at heart the welfare of their charges; who is not anxious to see these little waifs grow to become useful people in the world Money cannot buy some of the services be. slowed upon these children; it must of a necessity, be born of loving, sympathy
 The girls are taught sewing. darn mig, knitting. cooking and general l housekeeping. while the boys are instructed in carpentry and such other things as will be useful to them in later life. Do they show a particular aptitude or fondness for books, and study. they are sent to the famous Chemawa school in Ore gon, or to the Mothers Jewel Home in Nebraska. In no point or way are they restricted or kept down. Through all these helpful teach ings and instructions there is incul- cated a sense of God; of a great Him who watches over all nations with equal care. and who tells them If the greatest force on Earth--Love. Is 1t any wonder that these little tots, at first suspicious and afraid. after few weeks in these clean, bright surroundings, run to meet their white protectors with open arms. confident of the welcome awaiting them.
 The heads of the mission of which ours is a branch, and the people of Nome are to be congratulated on such man as the Rev. Baldwin, and workers of such sterling ability and kindness as are under his 1uris- diction.
 There are A permanent residents in the home here, ranging in age from barely year to boys and girls of fifteen and sixteen. Miss Mary Cochran, matron. quaintiy describes them as belonging to three classes, "7 o'clocks." "S o'clocks" and "9 o'ciocks" the hour at which each class must to put to bed.
