Stent Serrict Maa Rotiad Up : ^y!3SSinpwH. :% t 1 Waetithgton.--Secret aervieir. WifWf by local police, made 138 arrests In the country last month for counterfeiting. This Is a record for one month and evidence of the vigor with which the campaign against counterfeiting Is being conducted. Most of the counterfeiting is in $5 and $10 bills, all of which are declared by experts to be only fair work. The bills are passed In small communities and In the suburbs or congested districts of large cities and reach the banks and big business houses, which promptly bundle them up for deposit or to be sent to Washington for redemption with the result that the counterfeits are not often detected before reaching Washington. In the oplrflon of the experts they should be. "Congestion of the court calendars and leniency in court sentences is partly responsible for the present situation in counterfeiting," said W. H. Moran, chief of the secret revenue service. * "We need quicker action in bringing counterfeiters to trial and longer jail sentences. Counterfeiting is the most despicable business in the world, for, if successful, it is always an innocent person who suffers and !t may be his last cent in the world." Moran emphatically denied the smaller paper money now in use in this country has anything to do with the increase in counterfeiting, "A counterfeit is a counterfeit," he Mid. "It is no easier to counterfeit a small bill than a large one. The faces of the Presidents are the same slse on both the old and new bills and that part of the bill is the most difficult for any counterfeiter to imitate." The rapidity with which the counterfeiters are being arrested encourages Moran In the belief that no counterfeiters can hope to escape the law long.

A mother's heart was broken, the entire community saddened and his pals bereft of a true friend when Frank Page, 21 years old, answered his summons to the Great Beyond on Sunday, April 18, 1930, death being caused by carbon monoxide gas which escaped while he was at work on his car in the garage at his home in this city.

Terracing Saves the Sail "More than 600 million tons of soil were stripped from American farms last year by erosloi*--100 billion pounds of plant food washed out to sea. This represents 21 times the annual requirements of all crops grown --a loss that two billion dollars of commercial fertilisers would not replace."
