Ones Who Are Making Money
st. Louis, Oct. ll.-Thc Japs arc MOI
| the only ones making money at this
Fair. Uncle Sam is doing a few
stunts" in that line himself as John
would say. The laps are making
their money out If CloiSonne vases and
embroidery screens. Uncic Sam is
making his out of solid strips of silver
and copper And tle Go2sn': appear
to be afraid Of the countcrfc;tcrs for
the whOle process Of making coins il
exhibited IN the Government building
every day to thousands.
We were an hour late getting TO the
Government bui,a,ng to resume our
tour through what is generally pro
hUmccd the most interesting and in
StructivC exhibit On the grounds. This
delay was due to the fact that John
lad learned from the program that 1t
was "AppIc Day" on which barr els
of Northern Spy, Rhode Island Green
Ing and JOnnathan apples would be
distributed to The multitude al the
horticulture building. and, Of course,
truc to the masculine instinct that
goes hack TO Adam. he was there to
get his apple.
None of Uncle Sans manifold ac,
tll ties is quite 50 interesting as that
" making money. It is well that this
section of the Government building is
enclosed with stout iron railing fer the
crowd that surgCs """''~ it from
morning to night would soon lake pos
Of INF
The Government has spared no pains
or expense To make this exhibit as
we'll as others in the building The most
complete and comprehensive over
made. Big multiple shears cut the cop
per into strips the width of half
dollar They are rolled in a rolling
mill and then showed through ma
chine which cuts ont the little round
wheels and these in turn 90 To the
"upsctting machine" which turns up
the edges ready for milling" They
are then passed into a revolving cyliu-
der which look Ike n peanut roastcr
and revOlvC with sawduSt until they
arc clean. then 10 the big coming
presses from which they crop bright
climbing coin.
The careless way in which silver is
made To associate win common copper
in this process would break the heart
OF William jennings Bryan. 1T cor
tainly looks like easy money" said
John.
Ono of the pleasant revelations of
this great binding Is the fact that
Uncle Sam is doing something besides
building guns and hattloships to Kill
