Confederate Bills Will Aid Education Will Finance Two College Educations DALLAS. VP — A Dallas man plans to send his two daughters through college, using Confederate money. .— The optimistic father, ■ Leonard W. Stark, pointed out that although most persons believe paper money issued .by the Confederate States < is worthless, some or it is worth four times face value. Stark has been collecting Confederate paper money for several years. Those bills, along with Government of Texas and Republic of Texas currency, and a few old land grant certificates, he values now at $2,000. ! By the time his two young daughters start to college, he estimates his collection, with additions, will be worth $15,000. Much Confederate money is of only sentimental value. But Stark said a $5 not® called the “Indian princess bill" because of its engraving is worth s2osThe bill is dated Sept. 2, 1861. Another piece of Confederate money worth saving is the July 25. 1861 $5 issue, now worth $lO, and the Sept. 2, 1861 $5 issue, worth $5. Counterfeit Money Stark, a salesman, collected much of his money in his travels. Friends who know of his hobby frequently find someone with Confederate money and put them in touch with Stark. He also collects other items in use during the Civil War and during Texas’ days as a republic. He has a collection of Confederate stamps, old newspapers, treasury warrants and coins. Some of his finds are valuable enough that he keeps them in a safe deposit box. The Dallas salesman estimated there are about 3,000 active collectors of Confederate money in the United States. There are as many in the North as in the South, he believes. But he has a warning for anyone who believes he has found a rare supply of money issued by the Confederacy. There were many counterfeit bills floating around during the Civil War, and the counterfeits are still worthless. Some of the counterfeiting, he said, was done by the Union to ruin the economy of the Confederacy. An expert can tell the difference between the good money and the

IBr yr*y* / 1 : M 1 r WU < LAURA CAVAZZINI, 24, signifies that things are just fin® with henself and her husband, Gino, 27, just before they sailed from New York for a delayed honeymoon in Italy. They were married three months ago. About three years ago, Cavazzini, a liquor store clerk, was told he could not marry because of a rheumatic heart condition. A “talcum powder” operation solved his trouble. (International) worthless paper. And it's that good Confederate money Stark counts on using to give his daughters a college education. Fines Self, Pays BAXTER SPRINGS, Kan., UP— Police Judge J. T. Morrison found a traffic ticket on his car for stopping in a no-parking zone. He did the only right thing. He appeared in his own court, slapped a $2 fine on himself, recorded it promptly in the police record, paid his fine, and dismissed his case. Lifesaver SYDNNEY, Australia UP — A “self-lifesaver" designed for surfers and rock fishermen caught in treacherous currents, has been designed in Australia. Dick Charles.! president of Sydney's Underwater Spearfishermen’s Association, has made a plastic safety belt which can be inflated automatically by a carbon-Jioxide cartridge or blown up like a balloon. It weighs only a pound, and carries a packet of blue powder which, when released keeps sharks at a respectful distance.

Shortage 01 Rain Reported In State Preparation Os Soil Difficult In Areas INDIANAPOLIS UP — Twothirds of Indiana didn't have enough rain last week and the shortage is interfering with pasture development and spring farm work. That was the report today from Purdue University and federal agriculture statisticians in their’ weekly crop summary for the period ending May 22. “No wdrk was interrupted by weather the past week,” the report said, “although soil is becoming so dry in some places It is difficult to prepare and seed. “Two-thirds of the reports indicate moisture shortage and none surplus moisture. Work is reported three days forward with only a small area in the north-central district still slightly backward. "Corn planting is 71 per cent completed and soybeans 41 per cent. These are close to the percentages of 1951 and much above last year. Tomato setting is close to the usual amount of 44 per cent even though much resetting has
