Money Bootleggers
Ilr AnMltlad Press.
Berlin, Feb, t.—Bogus money has
become very common in Germany
since the decline of the mark and
tlie passage of financial transactions
out of regular banks Into the hands
of money-bootleggers.
A number of $1 bills which have
been raised to $100 bills have turned
up In Berlin. They are said to be
similar to raised bills which have ap
peared In Russia. There are also
many counterfeit ' 1-pound notes in
tirculatlon.
It is relatively easy for forgers to
fioat had paper today, for the street
i orner hankers are not as yet very
expert in detecting counterfeits.

Men Match Cunning With Canadian

Failing of Wild Animals for

Hermosa, S. D„ Feb. 9—On a
steep enclosure oposite the state game
lodge, six Canadian goats climb
nimbly about discovering the boun
daries on a new home. Together
with 10 mountain sheep, previous
tenants, they form the nucleus of
what is intended as a tourist feature
of the Black Hills. The story of
their capture in Rocky Mountain
park, Alberta, Canada, is one of cun
ning that outmatched even their own,

observe the Canadian park official*
perform what he termed "the Im
possible" Inst year when he obtained
the sheep snd again this year when
he returned for a family of the gov
ernment goats*
"Time and careful thought are the
main essentials of great trapping"
the game warden said he had learned.
"These and the fact that goats and
sheep will go to almost any -length
for a taste of salt, make the task
barely possible."
Feeding (iround l/ocated.
Mr. Hawley related how the first
step consisted In finding a favorite
feeding ground of the animals. On
this area a passageway was formed
by parrallel strips of extra heavy
woven wire. Salt was placed In this
lane, open at each end, and the work
for the time was over. Observation
next Indicated when the goats had
become accustomed to the narrow
quarters o( their salt lick. At this
time one end was enclosed and g
second wait ensued.
"Then the trap wns built,” the
warden continued. "At th# open end
th# final strip of woven wire was
fixed In place on a slip frame just
high enough above the ground to en
able the animals to psss underneath.
The frame was held in position by a
small catch to which was attached a
very fine wire.
"This wire led to a second fine
wire stretched across the Isne In
such a position that the goat# must
press it forward to reaotr the aaJt.
thus releasing the frame.”
Plan Works Smoothly.
Tho plan worked smoothly, accord
Ing to Mr. Hawley, but the most in
teresting part of the rapture came
with the close handling of the cap
tive. The sheep, notwithstanding
their Immense curving horns, never
fight, and the only problem lay In
cornering them. Not so the goats.
"Th# 'trap' was set close up against
the steep side of the mountain," he
said. "At our approach, around that
pen they tore. The sheep put up the
more spectacular fight. A short
run snd they would sail J5 feet
through the air smack up against
the fence, only to turn and hurl
themselves against the other side.
"That wire was tough and heavy,
hut three of them hurst through it
In their tearing drives. Then It was a
sight to see them go aklmming up
the side of the mountain. The speed
with which they took that grade was
almost impossible to Imagine."

Good Livestock
Field in Mexico
American Breeders May Find
Profitable Market in
Future.
Ivannas City, Mo., Feb. 9.—A vast
potential market for purebred rattle,
swine and sheep awaits American
livestock breeders in Mexico, accord
ing to a delegation of animal hus
handy experts who returned to the
United States recently from a visit
■of inspection which included attend
ance at an exhibition of American
puredn-rd livestock In the City of
Mexico.
The Mexican market will not offer
an Immediate outlet, however, say
members of the delegation. Internal
political conditions must become set
tied and a stable government must ex
erelse control over numerous outlaw
bands before the potentially great
cattle Industry of Mexico can
hits Its stride. Mexican ranch owners
are now afraid to purchase registered
purebreds for their herds, because
registered purebreds for their herds,
because roving hands of outlaws and
plunderers steal and kill livestock al
most at jirill. Millions of acres of
grazing Winds which might be carry
ing stock now lie in Idleness because
protection Is not available.
Improvement Tendency.
Nearer the cities, where police pro
teflon may he had arid where there is
a demand for milk and pork, breeders
find a limited demand for purebred
cattle and hogs. It Is said. Encour
aging prospects for the sheep indus
try were also observed. But the
range cattle industry, which Is poten
tially the greatest of all, will suffer
until stability in political and military
affairs Is accomplished.
Purebred Hereford, shorthorn and
Holateln cattle, Poland-Chlna and
Duroc-Jersey hogs and Ramboulllet
sheep were shown by American breed
era at th« livestock exposition in
Mexico City. The exposition was held
under the management of the Mexi
can Auxiliary of Purebred Registry
Aaaoclations of the United States.
According to R. J. Kinzer of the
American Hereford Cattle Breeders
association, who represented the Here
ford organization at the exposition.
25 head of registered Herefords were
purchased for use in Mexico, at
prices ranging from 1200 to MOO a
head.
Fine Grazing I.ands.
"Between the Sierra Madre moun
tains on the west and the coastal
mountaing on the east," says Kinzer
"there are millions of seres of land
in Mexico similar to our ‘range coun
try.' The average altitude Is about
4.000 feet, and the average ranch has
from 50,000 to 500,000 acres on which
grows native grass and brush suitable
for cattle and sheep. Near the Rio
Grande the country Is tick infested
but there are no ticks on the high
range of the mountain pleateaus
With conditions more stabilized there
will be great need for purebred stock
in the states of Coahulla, Nuevo Leon.
San Louis I'otoal, Queretaro, Guana
Juato, Mlchochan. Jalisco, Zacatecas,
Durango and Chihuahua.
"Considerable trading in purebred
cattle is done now, of course. l>e
tween cattlemen In Texas and Mexico.
The United Sugar company, Dos Mo
chis, Sinaloa, recently purchased In
Texas, several carloads of Hereford
hulls for use In the grade cattle herd
which It runs on its ranch land. A
British syndicate, with large ranching
interests In Durango, has tried the
use of Hereford bulls with native
cows with very successful results.
This syndicate has since purchased
two carloads of Hereford bulls for
spring delivery.
"Because they are strong, healthy
and hardy, Hereford* will probably
become the popular breed of beef cat
tle In Mexico. When conditions in
Mexico become more stable and ade
quate protection is afforded to In
vested cattle I think American breed
ers of livestock will find there a large
outlet for their product."
