and the custom of sending fancy cards,
and comics" also, will be observed as
generally as during recent years. The
many popular superstitiOns concerning
the day will be tested in the numerous
social gatherings for which cards Of in
vitstions are already futtering into the
hands Of the devotee. The form Of val
enHnes has been greatly changed dur
fng the last few years, and just now the
shop windows show many novel con-
ceits in fancy embossed cards. and the
delicate lace affairs which will always
be poDnlar. Many young ladies who
have talent viii send valentines which
will be for the most part their handi-
work. some Of chem representing the
little love God in various attitudes,
many with a pierced heart. and general
dssirns which will show the ingenuity
of the sender. and will be valued by the
recipient as q keep sakse.

Great Demand for Treasury Notes-Silver
Certificates Accepted.

Great Demand for Treasury Notes-Silver
Certificates Accepted.
Washington, Nov. 10. The treasury
on Monday lost $4,000 in gold coin and
81 200 in bars, which leaves the true
amount of reserve Sl2I .526.364. The net
gain in gold to day ut New York and
San Francisco was Sl,034, 200. The re-
sources of the treasury are being Sc
verely taxed to meet the demand for
paper notes of all denominations in ex-
change for gold. In many cases the
gold holders ask for United States notes
of large denominations in exchange. but
they express a willingness to accept
Sherman notes, or If necessary silver
certificates, if the government is unable
TO furnish United States notes. The de-
mand for large denominations also is
rat imperative, the principal thing be-
ing to get paper money.
Reports from all parts of the country
tend to show that nearly all of the
gold withdrawn during the last severa!
weeks was for the purpose of boarding.
and now that the supposed danger is
past the gold is being offered at the
several subtreasuries, or Is being de-
posted in banks, and so is finding its
way into the government Golfers. The
rush of gold offers is so great that in
New York. at least. the assistant treas
urer has been compelled to refuse gold
until such time as he is able to handle
1t, and in a number of instances cur
Tency has been shipped from one sub
treasury to another 10 meet the unusual
demands.

there are now but 90 entitled to it, but
on accoun of the expense the remainder

ton of dismissals of letter carriers,

OF $13 1926, 500 is made on account of free

Canton, @, Nov. ito Hon NJ. A
Hanna. Waldorf Hotel. New York: Your
telegraphic message announcing the result
of the election has been received l beg you
to accept my hearty thanks for your great
services In the cause or Sound money ard
protection throughout the campaign now
closed and gloriously won. They were most
generous and effective and will receive the
warm appreciation of your countrymen
everywhere. ! will be pleased to have you
convey to your associates of the national
committee my high appreciation Of their
efficient services.
1.-The people in their majesty, ignoring
party lines have declared their detestation
OF reputation and dishonor. In whatever
specious guise they may be presented
They have with the same mighty power
affirmed their devotion to law and order
and their undertaking respect for justice
and tia courts They have maintained
their unfaltering determination to supper t
and uphold the constituted authorities of
the country and have thereby given new
vIgor and strength to our free institutions.
They have. indeed, again consecrated
themselves to country, and baptized the
cherished ordinances of free government
with new and holy patriotism.
THE victory Is not to party or section.
but of and for the American people Not
the least OF the triumphs of the election is
the obliteration of sectional lines in the
republic. We have demonstrated to the
world that we are q reunited people IN
purpose as well as in name. We have
manifested In the great cause the spirit of
fraternity and brotherhood that should al
ways characterize our common and equal
citizenship and have proven conclusivel9
that In a country of equal privileges aud
equal opportunities the insidous doctrine
ii, a.
lions cannot prevail. Let US as Americans
straightway devote ourselves to the up
building of America: to the peace. honor
and glory of our common country Party
dissensions should no longer divide or rack
the public mind. nor the zeal or temper of
either side deter any citizen from patriotic
