MONEY FOR TRAPPING
Thrift Enthusiasts May Take Lesson
From Ethel Taylor.

Enthusiasts for thrift among young
women will find few more interesting
stories than that of Miss Ethel Taylor,
musically inclined nineteen year-old
girl Of Woodinville, who took to trap
ping last November tosmake money to
pay her music lessonsDrelates Both
ell, Wash, dispatch. Il ,.
Miss Taylor made. q reputation for
herself as one Of the, most talented
singers in Seattle during the winter of
1920, but her father found II necessary
to abandon his city business for n
small ranch in the country.
Miss Taylor was determined to help
herself in the training and improve
ment of her voice. She had always
known several men who had trapped
fur bearing animals years ago. From
them she got some pointers and tried
out the scheme.
During November she caught several
mink, some muskrats and an otter
along the sloughs bordering Lake

her how to take off the pelts and dry
them for the trade. A Seattle fur
dealer paid her q good price for the
catch, amounting to over $50. In
December she was bolder and doubled
her earnings, and she related this week
with great glee that during January
she will have first grade pelts enough
to bring her in more than 5000. Sew
eral farmers who had learned Of her
industry gave her pelts from predatory
animals they had caught or shot about
their buildings. Among her own catch
is a cross fox, one Of the first caught
in recent years.
Every Wednesday and Saturday she
goes to Seattle, twenty miles away for
her music lesson. Each lesson costs So.

mileage there is included S,595 miles
in projects wholly completed and the
equivalent of 1886 miles of work done
on projects which are not wholly COM
pleted. Every state shared in the ben
efits of this work.
The projects under way during the
year amounted to 31,22S miles, which
was about one-half of all the road
work carried on in the United States
during the year. A fair idea OF the
magnitude of the road work done un-
der the supervision of the department
of agriculture last year may be gain
ed when it is understood that the total
mileage is considerably more than
enough to encircle the earth, that it is
equal to more than 10 per cent OF all
the improved roads previously existing
In the United States and that 1t Is
equal to nearly per cent of the entire
road system of France. At this rate
we would be able to build the equiva-
lent OF Frances entire road system In

PRUSSIANISM CHARGED.
Officer Declares Men Rise by Favorit'
ism and Not Efficiency.

ism and Not Efficiency.
Declaration was made this week by
Major Malcolm Wheeler Nicholson OF
the 3rd United States cavalry, that hs
had sent letter direct to President
Harding charging that "the army is
suffering from reign of Prussianism,
but at the White House and war de-
partment it was said that no such let
ter had come to the attention Of off,
cials. ,.-.. .u.. ....... ..... ..
Major Wheeler Nicholson, whose
home is in Portland, Oregon, but who
at present is a patient at Walter Reed
army general hospital, Washington,
made public copies Of the letter, which
ne said he had directed to the presi-
dent at the risk Of court martial and
fnsubordination. His letter declared
that "a veritable reign Of terror exists
among the junior officers Of the army
today" and that this is caused by un-
hindered power Of the clique to have
any officer discharged from the SER
vice by operation of what Is known as
the class B law"
"Prussianism and inefficiency -four
ish in, the army because men rise to
power by fayoritism instead Of effi-
ciency," the letter said. Classmates
and friends are appointed to lead in
stead of the most efficient men for the
Job"
Secretary Weeks said while he had
heard of the letter, he had not seen it,
and he was informed 1t had not reach
ed the department. White House off,
cials stated emphatically they had not
seen the letter, although Maj. Wheel
er Nicholson said he had mailed 1t
special delivery last Saturday.
Officers in the adjutant generals
department looked up the record or
Major Wheeler Nicholson and found,
they said, that he had been patient
at Walter Reed hospital for several
months, having been transferred there
according to the records "for observa-
tion and treatment" after having been
shot by q caretaker while attempting
to enter the quarters Of Major Colby
at Camp Dix, New Jersey, one night to
sleep, after finding his regular quar-
ters locked. Officers said the records
also showed that the major had been
sent to Camp Dix from Fort Ethan
Allen, Vermont, where he was attach
ed to the Third cavalry, for trial be-
fore military court on charges of be-
ing absent without leave and making
false official statements. The major
denied these charges, saying they were
but q part Of "a plot to get him."

USE CONFEDERATE BILLS.
Berlin Merchants victimized by Mon
ey Vendors,


Another issue of United States Con-
federate money in $40 bills has been
put on the market in Germany and
several prominent merchants have
been victimized to the extent of thou
sands of dollars, according to informa-
ton from Berlin. Scores Of others
have accepted the bad bills in smaller
amounts.
A few months ago the Confederate
money. suspiciously bright and clean,
WIS passed quietly around to unsus-
pccting shopkeepers and to even a few
visiting Americans who displayed
cGrelessness in making change. AT
that time warning was issued by the
banks and the newspapers advised
readers to use discretion.
The latest known victim is q Eer-
chant who sold a bill of goods for 5000
il, cash and accepted the Confederate
currency. He appealed to the Ameri-
can Association of Commerce and
Trade in Berlin.
The association, as result OF these
raids on German marks and German
goods by the Confederate money ven-
dors has issued a warning to its cli-
entele declaring "the only way to
avoid such losses is to effect all pay
ments for goods through a bank, espe-
cially where foreign curreLcy comes
into question"
German merchants recently also
have been accepting counterfeit Ger
man 50-mnrk notes, many Of which
are still in circulation, although the
police succeeded in capturing the coun-
terfeiters.

AFRAID TO SPEAK
Time Was When Billy Sunday Feared
to Face the Public.

TO ace the FupIlC.
Time was when Billy Sunday now
recognized as the boldest and most
earnest of all evangelists, was too timid
to speak on the platform, according to
DR.. c. II. Woolston, pastor Of the East
Baptist church of Philadelphia, who
arrived here today, says a Spartanburg
dispatch to the Greenvil!e News.
DR.. Woolston, who is pastor Of one
of the leading churches of his denomi-
nation in Philadelphia, and is also y
member Of the faculty Of the Bible
school at Winona Lake, Ind, knew Mr..
Sunday when the evangelist was thea
custodian of the tent for DR.. Wilbur
Chapman, the great evangelist of a few
years ago.
On several occasions, DR.. Woolston
said, he heard DR.. Chapman urge Mr..
Sunday to say something from the
platform, but the former baseball
player was timid, and he refused to
do so.
1T is no use, Doctor" Mr.. Sunday
would say, u was not cut out for a
speaker
DR.. Woolston does not remember the
exact year that he met Mr.. Sunday,
but it was nearly 80 years ago and a
short time after Mr.. Sunday was con-
vcrted. Mr.. Sunday was then serving
as advance agent, tent custodian and
a kind of general utility man for the
late DR.. Chapman.
Mr.. Sunday, it will be remembered
has several times referred to DR.. Chap
man, saying that it was largely to him
that the credit goes for becoming an
evangelist.
mo one ever dreamed then that Mr.
| Sunday would become the great evan
ge'ist that he now is," DR.. Woolstor
stated. Nor did many ever bclive Mr.
! speaker"
However, l can say this" DR.
WOolSton continued, while Mr. Sun
day was not speaker at that time and
shrank from speaking in public, car
say for him that he was full of pep
He was a human dynamo then as now
and possessed of tire!ess energy. How.
ever, he seemed possessed Of the ides
that he could not speak in public

the platform and saying a word IL

A BIuffer.-A colored man named

years and in that time he had just
about run things. His good friend Ben
said to him one day: Now, Sam, you

up there and tell him: Look here

'eiSam tried his friends advice while

the boss.

WOULD ABOLISH SENATE.
Texas Legislator Says 1t Would Mean

~ , p,
Economy and Efficiency.
A movement has been started to
abolish the state senate and to reduce
the membership Of the house, at AUS
tin, Texas. Leg Satterwhite Of ANA
rillo, a member Of the lower house, is
leading the fight and declares that
when the next legislature convenes he
will Immediately offer resolution
calling for an amendment to the Texas
constitution to provide the elimina-
ton.
'The time has come when this step
should be TAKEN" said Satterwhite.
by abolishing the senate and reduc-
ing the house / am certain that the
states business will be despatched
with more alacrity than in the past,
with more efficiency and with far less
expense. l am opposed to the plan as
launched in San Antonio to limit the
house membership to 40. 1 believe 1t
should number a little more than 10O."
The plan is receiving favorable COM
ment over the state, more especially
because of the many special sessions
that seem to be necessary. The legis-
lature meets once every two years, but
already three extra sessions have been
held. and 1t is expected that Governor
Neff will'be forced to call another ses-
sion to deal with the financial situa-
lion of the penitentiary system, as the
system Is without funds and is operat-
ing on credit scheme.

BlGHAM TO APPEAL.
Florence Man to Ask Supreme Court
for a New Trial.

Florence Man to Ask Supreme Court
for New Trial.
Edmund d. Bigham, Florence coun-
ty man, convicted of numbering his
brother and sentenced to the electric
chair, and also charged with killing
his mother, his sister and his sisters
two adopted children, will, 1t Is under
stood, appeal to the United States su-
preme court from the decision of the
South Carolina supreme court which
recently refused his appeal for new
trial. 1t is not known on what grounds
the new appeal will be made.
An order staying the remittitur Oh
the recent decision Of the supreme
court has been issued by the supreme
court, Bigham asking for a rehearing
of the case. However, the court has
not yet announced whether it Will
grant a rehearing.
Bigham was sentenced to die, but
appealed, making numerous exceptions
to the proceedings in the circuit court
which convicted him. The supreme
court recently dismissed the appeal
and Bigham will be resentenced at the
next term of court in Florence, unless
his appeal to the United States su-
preme court is allowed.
Bigham is in the death house OF the
state penitentiary. His main comment
about his case is a repetition OF the
statement that he is innocent. He
talks very freely about his case.
