Counterfeit Bills
Being Circulated
$1,000 U. S. Treasury Notes Are the
Work of Experts, Secret Service
Men Say

Counterfeit ten dollar U. S.
Treasury notes are being circulated
in this part of the state. A report
from the secret service bureau is to
the effect that banks as we'll as in
dividuals should use extra precau-
ton in accepting notes of this de-
nomination.
The counterfeit bill is evidently
the work of experts. The only dis
tinguishing marks between the
genuine and counterfeit bills is
that the lapel on the coat of Alex
ander Hamilton, whose face adorns
the notes, is not quite as clear on
the counterfeit. There is also a
little dissimilarity in the lettering
of the word Hamilton" under the
picture. The paper used in print
ing the counterfeit bills has a diff
ferent feel from the genuine, but
not enough to be noticeable unless
it is placed along side of other bills.

brary Board, of this city, became
so favorably impressed with the
of Mr.. Kells' Index Sys
tenn that they subscribed for the
entire service which will be placed
in the library for the benefit of the
public.
James S. Knox, famous tex
book author and lecturer says:
Zone of the things I like
about Mr.. Kells is his intense
desire to serve humanity. He
believes basically in Character
building as the basis of our
civilization. He has the orator
ical appeal that stirs men to
their very depths. I have never
met a man in my life who has
greater command of the tech
nique of craftsmanship than he
has. He has already proven
himself to be an organization
genius and a master at hir-
ing, training, inspiring, and
managing men. I look upon him
as the peer of all the younger
publishing executives in this
field in the country"
Mr.. r. c. Barnum, of Cleveland
his first employer, says:
Upon completing his college
course, his rise in our organi-
cation was very rapid. From
e. General Agent he became
, Branch House manager, then
: the head of one of our nation
al organizations and finally
sales manager of all our organi-
cations"
= James S. King, Dean and Score
tary of the Faculty, Hamline Uni
versity, says:
Robert Homer Kells entered
. Hamline University as a fresh
man in 1916, and proceeded at
once to reveal that he had in
him to go, to drive through, to
overcome, to succeed. The pulse
and heat of his nature, strong
. and constant, are not eccentric
but healthy and robust.
In college he soon passed,
naturally, to position of lead
ership, and this position he
held and filled until his gradu-
alton. I might add that Mr..
Kells likes responsibility and
consequently carries it easily
and well.
while his scholastic record
is not high, it is a worthy one,
about a "B" average. There is
an education of books, the
ideas, discoveries and ideals of
master minds. It is invaluable.
There is also an education of
practical affairs, of meeting and
deeling with men and situa-
tons. This, too, is invaluable.
Mr.. Kells combined both. Be
sides his regular college work,
he was a college orator, reader
on the Glee Club, president OF
the Student Council, assistant
instructor in Chemistry, and
besides this found time for a
great deal of outside work. For
example, he hired and trained
a large class of student sales
men each year. They were US
ually successful.
"Mr. Kelps initiative, thrift and
business genius may best be il
Illustrated by the fact that he
earned his entire college ex-
penses and at the same time
accumulated a saving of over
$15OO00 during the four years
of his college course. Not one
college student in 10000 can
boast of an equal record. His
college career proved .him--a
man of sterling character, in
tegrity, extraordinary ability.
mo one In Hamline Univer-
sity during those four years
will forget Bob Kells or escape
the influence of his magnetic
personality"

Total Travel Is Less Than a Year
Ago Census Shows-Reopening
of Routes Closed

Returns from the traffic census
recently, conducted at numerous To-
cations over the state trunk high
way system, although not yet COM
plete, indicate a reduction in motor
vehicle travel of approximately ten
per cent, a recent highway bulletin
reports.
Although travel in general is in
dictated to be less, the reports from
several districts show many more
trucks being operated on the high
ways this year than last, Commits
sioner Babcock says. The reopen
ing of routes this year that had
been partially closed at the time of
taking the census last year is be-
lieved to account oroheavier truck
travel to some extent because of
the trucks being back onto trunk
highways after having used coun-
ty roads in places.
The traffic count was taken for
seven consecutive days, Aug. to Z,
from six A. M. to midnight, at 407
points throughout the state.

HOOVER'S FORTUNE SAID TO
BE FAR LESS THAN BELIEVED

There are upwards of a dozen
huge official receptions to the dip
lomatic corps. members of congress,
the judiciary, the army and navy
and so on--and each is an expens-
i've function cutting into the COM
paratively meager sum allowed.
Even so, the President was repre-
sented as willing to accept a re-
duction in salary If congress de-
cideS to cut the pay of government
employees.
The Presidents personal fortune
is said to have shrunk materially
in recent years. 1t is estimated
now at far less than $1,000000."
MIR. Hoover has been in public
life since the start of the World
war; it was pointed out. THAT is
nearly ID years ago. He has de-
voted his time to public affairs
ever since, and while his private

President Hoover gives thousands

year, persons close to the chief eX-
ecutive asserted today.
The comment came up in con-
nection with talk this week about
reducing the pay of government
employees. The President is paid
SIS 900 a year. He has an addi-
ticnal S25 900 for travelling expenses
and another $4,000 for official en-
tertainment.
But in the last few months he
has given S22 500 to charity.
And this does not take into ac
count the scores of donations the
President makes during the course
of a year to private charities" the
spokesman said. These unques-
tionably run into several thousands
of dollars.
Furthermore, the President
spends thousands of dollars on en-
tertainment at the White House
which must come out of his own
pocket. The $4,000 for official en-

Indians Plight
Reported Severe
Following Storms

FLAGSTAFF. Aria, Jan. 22.-
Reports that the Navajo Indians OF
Arizona and New Mexico have
been virtually pauperized by the
snoWstorms of last month and this
were prevalent here today.
One report said that 10000
sheep--the Nayajo's chief source OF
money, and, hence, supplies-had
been lost.
The greater losses, it was under
stood, were suffered among the
New Mexico Indians, whom the
SHOWS deprived even of the lean
forage ordinarily available on the
high plateau.
Northern Arizona Indians have
Jared better, it was believed, be-
cause of stands of cedars that with
stood the SHOWS, and from which
branches were stripped to provide
green food for the stock.
superintendent c. L. Walker at
Tuba City has sent messages de-
precating the losses.
The Indians themselves were only
recently and temporarily saved
from imminent starvation when a
fleet of army airplanes bombed"
their villages with burlap-wrapped
sacks of subsistence proyender.

q suitcase that assertedly carried

the dismembered body of Miss He'd
Wig Samuelson.
While Mrs. Judd has been ac-
cused of Staying Miss Samuelson,
her present trial is on the count
that she killed Mrs. Agnes Anne
LIE Roi The state may try her on
the other charge later.
The defense objected to the in
PRODUCTION of the suitcase on the
ground that, while it might be
proper evidence against Mrs. Judd
in a trial for Staying Miss Samuel
son. it had no bearing on the
present case.
Judge Speakman finally ruled
with the prosecution which main
tanned that in cases where evidence
was so interlocking as. in this the
suitcase was a legitimate piece of
evidence
The case, one of a common brown
leather variety, was introduced
through the testimony of John
Washington, negro porter at the
