.HardingO Orders Change
In The Federal Bureau
New Executive Personnel In De-
partment Engraving
And Printing.
Associated Press DISPATCH

Washington, D. c., April 1.-The
bureau of engraving and printing
was operating today under practi-
cally a, complete new executive
personnel from the director down
and including every division of the
bureau. The sweeping change in
the bureaus administration was
effected by President Harding
through an executive order last
night removing James l. Wilmeth,
the director and a number of diyi-
sion chiefs and other officials" for
good of Athe service" Louis A. Hill,
assistant chief of the division of en-
craving, was named as the new
director of the bureau and assumed
charge Immediately upon promol-
cation of the order.
The dismissals, which came as a
complete surprise to those effected,
were ordered it was explained as the
result of an extended investigation
and in connection with a complete
readjustment of the bureau to
peace time conditions. Officials or
the treasury department, however,
failed to throw any light on the
dismissal order, saying the action
and the brief announcement of it's
PRONUNCIATION at the White House
would have to speak for themselves.

RecaHers Held Meet
Talked O0er Affairs
Rumors That Slate Has Been
Made In Case Election Is
Called.

According to she statement of for
mer Mayor E. V. Waters there
was a meeting held last night at
the Offices of the Little Giant Man
uafcturing plant, which was presid-
ed over by o. NJ. Hatcher, man
ager Of that company. Mr.. Waters
stated to The Free Press that the
object OF the meeting was to talk
over the recall situation.
When asked II, slate had been
made in case the recall election is
called, Mr.. Waters smiled, and
said: That would be. teliin,' but
will state that there will be a
couple of flag wavers' in the race"
Asked if any of the icen.en of Man
kato would be in the race for mayor,
Mr.. Waters broke forth in a merry
peal OF laughter, and said: Don't
get too lNrsonal there"
1t is understood that the recall
party is anything but a harmoni-
Gus one. 1t was given out on the
highest authority by man who did
not wish to be quoted, that there
might be a great deal of jangling
over the selection of candidate
for mayor. Some want the city
government 10 De neaueQ Dy IaD-
oring man, others want a capitalist
and still others think that wo-
man could WELD the gavel Of au-

Louis Wolff when asked in regard
to the progress of the second petit
ton which is being circulated for
names said: 'I'll admit that / did
some log rollin' and helped to clear
away some of the snags in the path
of the recall, but now I am living
out in the country. That cow OF
mine brought into such prominence
by The Free Press still needs wa
ter, and is taking up the greater
part of my time. I will state this,
however, that there are plenty of
names right now to bring about the
recall. There are ugly stories afioat
In regard to threats against people
who signed the recall, but I have
not actually seen a person who had
been threatened. We might as well

acres.

oLD-TIME MONEY
Dollar Bill of Ancient Date Turns
LIN at Hokah

Up at Hoksh
Hokah, April 3.-Cashier Re. J.
Reilly Of the Farmers State Bank
received a bill from the clearing
house at Minneapolis Tuesday
which is of unusual interest. 1t is
a one dollar bill issued June l, 1859,
by the La Crosse and La Ores
cent Bank" OF Hokah. The descrip-
ton of the bill is as follows:
In both upper corners large are
figure ones encircled by scrolls.
Across the top are the words La
Crosse and La Crescent Bank will
pay One Dollar to bearer on de-
m1nd, Hokah, Minnesota" In the
center is a steel engraving of a lit
tie girls face and shoulders evil
identity being taken from a portrait
aud probably little girl that lived
in Hokah at the time. The bill is
signed by F. A. Thomas, cashier,
and D. Wells, Jr., president and
countersigned and registered by o.
is 224S2. Across the baton are the
words Secured by Pledge of Pubic
Stocks" and in the right lower cor
ner is the imprint of the American
Bank Note company. In the left
lower corner is the wellknown fig
ure of the lady with the long flow
ing skirt, with her hand on the
globe. In the right lower corner Is
a picture of hen with chickens, a
rooster and some other hens. Two
ones are printed on either side OF
the picture in the center.
The bill looks like an ordinary
dollar bill, at a glance, but the pa
per is of poorer quality and 1t is
badly torn and wrinkled and shows
the wear and tear of time. The re-
verse side OF it is plain, and Mr.,
Reilly has put it in a glass frame
and intends hanging it in the bank
as curio of oaden days. Much spec
ulation is being INDUCED in as to
whose picture it may be in the cen
ter of the bill and good deal of in
terest has been worked up as to the
nature of this oldtime bank.

ice on the village council is enough
Mayor Charles R. Swenson and
Peter Norman, ST., have decided to
retire. Others are induced to file
to fill the places of the above nam
ed. Both men have exemplary
methods and voters will learn with
regret of their refusal to serve
longer. Election day will be next
Tuesday.

One enthusiast has the following
to say concerning the prospects
Tor better business resultant upon
building of more homes.
The noise OF hammer and saw
Is increasing throughout the coun-
try, attended by slow but sure
gain in bookings of orders for lum-
Der. sales, not only by manufac-
tuners to retailers but by retailers
TO ultimate consumers, are expano-
ing, altho, according to the Ameri-
can Lumberman. the market is not
spectacular. Most retail lumber
companies now conduct service de-
partments to aid their customers
in planning homes, and reports
from all over the country indicate
that these were never buster than
they are today. People everywhere
are thinking of building, and while
in many cases their desire for
homes has not yet resulted in the
starting OF construction, The num-
Der OF operations in progress Is
steadily becoming larger. Put =
chases of lumber in the meantime
are increasing, accompanied by a
price advance here and there on
specific items for which there ex-
lists a strong demand. Generally
speaking, the market remains firm,
and there is every indication that
the volume of trade will continue
to expand"
City Engineer Reports.
In report made to a builders
publication yesterday, City Engineer
Phil Comstock reported that in
Mankato last year he issued 1874
building permits for a total build
ing cost of $4,000. In addition
to that he listed $4,000 for public
building which amount was the es
timated cost of the new Lincoln
school
In his report of contemplated
building here for this year the city
engineer reported the teachers col
lege building at an estimated cost
of $3.50, 900, the armory at $4,000
and 100000 for residence buildings
or the approximate cost of about
100 new homes. A number of build
ing permits have already been is
sued this season although the time
Is yet early for any definite predic
ton as to the amount of building
that will be done.
New Store Building.
George Yaxtheimer of this city is
now building a new store building
just south of the Botsford Lumber
company office and yard on South
Front street. The structure will be
of two stories and is to, be con
structed of brick and stone. Nc
plans for occupancy have been made
by the builder, he said today.
