For several months past the coin OF

TO the exclusion of dollars, half dol
targs, quarters, dimes and nickels. The
new currency is made of aluminium and
he coins are about the same size as
those used by Uncle Sam. but not nearly
so heavy, Farmers come to Williams
often with an oyercoat pocket filed
With dollars, and the whole outlay OF
riches will not weigh as much as twenty
silver dollars.
The aluminium coin used by the farm
ars in and near Williams is now being
alked about, and inquiries are coming
from various sources as to the system
