T. JOE CAHILL AND
PARDS BAR RIFF-RAFF

It's not going to be so easy for the
riff-raff to break into the wide open
spaces this summer and fall off of
honest ranchers' horses and eat their
beans off honest ranchers' mantel-
pieces.
No, sir. Cody and Red Gulch and
those places where men are men and
pintos are transportation have or
ganized to protect what's left of the
wild and woody from the indiscrimin-
ate influx of Broadway tenderfeet.
Not that they want to keep them
out entirely, you understand. BY the
great horned toad, no! But not the
riff-raff. This summer brokers' and
bond statesmen with yen to wear
chaps and lasso calf will exchange
references with the Dude Ranchers'
association, which has opened offices
in the Park Central hotel.
Then, if everything is satisfactory,
introductions may be arranged all
around and the dude allowed to enter
the states of Wyoming and Montana
If he COMFORTS himself peaceable- like
after he gets there, pays his bills, and
doesn't argue about how to pronounce
"whoopee," it'll be, "Howdy Pardner,

SPELL" from then on.
There never was friendlier lot of
men than live in Montana and Wyo-
ming, T. J. Cahill, head of the Dude
Ranchers' association, explained while
he mopped the sweatband of ten

far as to build extra houses just to

in a model building erected Is years
ago, is the premier printing establish

employs 60 per cent Of the bank-note
engravers of the world, so per cent of
the transferers and 70 per cent of
the plate printers. Its principal pro-
duct, negotiable paper of high value,
is said to be the finest made any
where. 1t is the most visited building
in Washington, the most carefully
guarded, and because of obviously
necessary restrictions the least photo
graphed,
Owing to the nature of the output,
employees of the bureau are not per-
mitted to leave the building during
the day, and every device has been
provided for their health and COM
fort. Every precaution and measure
of safeguard is exercised to see that
not even a sheet Of the paper used in

placed in the custody Of the plate
vault, a burgular and fireproot
vault, and are issued only upon prop

Although the peak Of activity at.
tendant upon the production of the
new smaller currency is not expected
to be reached before next month, the
bureau is at the present time buster
than it has ever been in its history.

counterfeited. The character of the
engraver is reflected in his work,
which is almost impossible to match.
If any other process of reproduc-
ton should be used by counterfeiters
the result is easy to detect.
The need of new plates of an en-
tirely different design for the new
smaller currency was one of the big
gest tasks that confronted the bureau.
The most skilled engravers in their
respective specialties to be found in
the world are employed by the Bureau
{ of Engravers and Printing and these
artists required many months to COM
! plete each new design. The secret
service, with 70 years experience in
protecting the Nations money against
counterfeiting, followed the work
carefully and all that was learned in
these years was put into the designs.
An explanation of the intricate and
detailed operations in the preparation
of the new currency notes is given as
follows:
when it is determined to issue a
new note or other security, the mat
ter is discussed by the officials in
charge of the several branches of the
government service involved, and the
conclusions reached by them as to the
character of the design are embodied
in model made by trained design

every form of security has its origin
This model is submitted for the criti-
cisms of the officials in charge and
when approved by them, is forwarded
to the Secretary of the Treasury fol

During the period of reimbursement
from the printing of old money to the
new the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing had to work overtime to
print the amount of old money to
supply immediate needs. All of it's
time could not be devoted to the pro-
duction of the new money, and it was
for this reason that the date of issue
Of the new sized currency was twice
postponed. While the first issue to
be put in circulation will not include
the bills of larger denomination,
eventually these notes, $50, 500,
$500, $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000, will
also be produced in the smaller
size.
Many of the present sized notes
will not find their way back to the
Treasury, but they will remain legal
tender as long as they are out. In
time to come they will become increas-
ingly scarce and will doubtless have
added value as souvenirs and curios.
AS the old bills come into the Treas
ury they will be carefully collected
sorted and recorded, then bundled in
bales representing millions of dead
