Yes continued Mr.. Robbins.
Speaking of horses being used so
much in haying, these animals take
the place of cattle very largely. 1t
isn't often one sees cattle about here
nowadays Then the farming business
is changed about entirely.
There are many more luXurieS now
than we used to have. We never
used to think of having Strawberries
come up from the South. OF course
we used to have perishable stuff that
was raised on our own farms, but we
never used to get it 50 early as now,

Then the life of the farmer has i'm

The new one dollar silver certificates
turned out from the treasury few
days ago have been severely criticized
by artists and others because Of THEN
alleged lack of beauty, both in work
manship and design. \ writer in the
Washington Times, however, has dis
covered a serious fault, amounting to
a blunder, not heretofore noticed. In
the quotation from the constitution of
the United States, engrossed ON a
scroll for the edification of youth, the
l. but in all the standard dicton-
aries and in all the reprints extant of
the constitution the word is spelled
with two Is. 1t is curious that such a
mistake as this could have been made,
as all of the engrosser's and designer
work must have been inspected by the
higher officials Of the treasury depart
ment
The Times reporter also calls the at
tention of the public to the fact that
if the work of the engrosser on the
new certificate is to be accepted as
correct, Miss Columbia. must go down
to history and fame as a left-handed
maiden.
In the engrossing she is shown with
her right arm about the form of the
vigorous ana manly figure represent
ing youth, and with her left arm ex-
tended. with index finger pointing to
the constitution. The new certificates
have been declared to be inartistic by
the aesthetic portion of the public. ana
will now probably be condemned By
defendants of our American type of
physiology and anatomy.
