Tacoma, Wash., March 6. The last !
obstacle to condemning land for the
70.000 acre army camp at American
Lake was swept aside today noon when

J. T. S. Kvle, special counsel for the
county, will begin immediate prepara

The court's decision was unanimous.
It was based on the theory set forth
in the law passed by the present ses

county to acquire the site.

A money order may look all right, but
sometimes it isn't, as thieves often
break into country postof f ices and when
they cannot find any real money, often
are satisfied with a goodly supply of
blank money orders. An official bulletin
received at the Salem postoffice gives
the information that blank money or
ders numbered from 46,048 to 46,200
have been stolen 'from the postoffice of
Afton, Oklahoma and that several have
been filled out and cashed in different
parts of the country. The suggestion is
made that care be taken in receiving or
cashing money orders, especially of
these numbers.
