Inception Of Treasury Certificates.

The FIRST issue Of certificates of in
debtedness of the United States treasury
was made in 1912 by Secretary Gallatin
to finance the war then pending, as
bonds could no longer be sold. an ont
put of $50, 795, 674 realizing only $44. $50

would require too much time in pro-
ducing revenue. The Issue was violently

finance a new and untried measure,

as affording more secure circulating
medium than the state bank notes, and
they were receivable for all dues to the
government, besides bearing per
cent interest. There was then used
$50, 5000, 900. After this war the country
prospered greatly, not only paying off
ever dollar OF its debt but the federal
treasury 'oaning the various states
$50. 0OO, 900 Of It's surplus. This was III
1876, but as early AS 1897 the country
had undergone O complete change, ex-
traordinary depression ensued and not
even the duties on imports could be
paid. Certificates Of Indebtedness were
again resorted to, running for one year
like those now authorized and bearing
from one-tenth Of one per cent to not
ceeding 9 per cent interest BY 1916
this class of notes outstanding amounted
TO $47. 0O2 900. When war with Mexico
was declared $4,000. 900 more war
issued and later "a, 800. l49. The exchage
Of the certificates in payment for public
lands caused their rapid retirement.
In 1867 q new depression occurred.
mainly due to the imminence Of thu
civil war, and new issue of SEQ. 900, 000

treasury was hoated. During the war

Value Of Science.

Science for sciences sake, science
as a cult, pleads Prof. Raphael Mel
dola. president of the Chemical So
ciety OF Great Britain. Scientific re.
search is worthy of national homage
whether 1t leads to Immediately
practical results or not. Any country
which limits its appreciation OF re.
search to such branches OF science as
are likely to lead to industrial develop
ments is low in the scale OF civillza-
ton. The works Of the lltterateur or
artist appeal directly to the public and
can be appreciated according to their
merits. Not so the labors Of the scien.
tific investigator. His achievements
are measured largely by the utilitarian
standard. and certainly cannot be said
to occupy the same position as sister
branches of culture Prof. Meldola
has no desire to give countenance to
antagonism between pure and applied
science. Far from this being the case
the rate of progress Is actually meas.
urable by the degree of substitution of
pure science for emplricism.

Divine Providence has decreed that
another worthy comrade be taken from
our ranks to the realms of Spirit life.
1t is but Just and right that in recog-
milton of his noble character and patri-
otto services as defender of our couu-
try in the dark days of the rebellion, a
tribute be offered to his memory.
Therefore, Resolved. that in the death
of Comrade Henry II. McKeen a good
man has gone from among US, and w.
K. Kimball Post, G.. A. R, mourns the
loss of true and loved comrade.
We realize that the change is his gain,
vet there is sadness in the thought
that we shall no more enjoy his presence
and fraternal greetings.
All loyal citizens will cherish the
memory of one, who, in the best days of
his young manhood went to the front
and braved the many dangers OF war for
four long years for the preservation OF
our country and the honor of its flag.
His departure adds one more grave to
the many for loyal hands to garland
with blossoms on each returning spring
time. We realize the keener grief OF
those who were nearer and dearer to
him, and to them we extend our heart
felt sympathy.
Resolved, That our charter be draped
for thirty days, and that these resoiu-
tons be spread upon the records OF our
Post, and a copy sent to the Oxford

Green wood.

Business was fairly good about here
Monday, considering the time and place.
By special invitation we took trip over
to G. w. Q. Perham's, in Woodstock, to
see his new barn and other buildings ad-
Joining, and were well rewarded for our
tourney. To describe them all in detail
would require column of space; hence
their number, size and few additional
remarks must suffice.
Here they are as noted down at the
time: main barn, AZ K l20, II foot post
ed; sheep shed, 10 SO; shed and hen
house, 20 "a; 25O feet wall, from to
u feet high; buildings, 800 feet long
with cellar under the whole; IS windows
and 80 doors.
The old barn was not taken down until
the last of June, when work on the new
one commenced, and being near the hay
ing season the neighbors said Mr.. Per
ham would get left this time sure. But
he didn't. When the hay was ready to
cut, being two weeks late like all other
crops, the barn was so far advanced as
to be ready for 1t.
Alton Bacon was the boss carpenter
and no man knows his business better
than he. His crew was not large, but
when they struck a nail it was sure to
be on the head instead of on the finger;
so that the buildings went up with all
the regularity of Solomon's temple, and
in workmanlike manner. There
is no dollhouse work to be seen in the
whole structure. AS that set of build
ings now stands, it cannot be duplicated
in town, and but seldom in the county.
On the same day, Frank Morgan and
two other men went deer hunting, and
he proved to be the only man, securing
as he did buck with four points.
1t was also on the same day that our
daughter, Mrs. [. w. Swan, and her
daughter, Mrs. ID. R. Cole, made brief
visit at the Bennett place, and left be-
fore our return home, thus missing the
opportunity of seeing them.
Daniel Bryant started the last of the
week intending to go as far as Freeport
and Portland. At first he intended to
visit Boston and other places in Massa-
chusetts, but it got SD late in the season
that he Cancelled that part of the pro-
gram.

Now the Hartford people have long

will give away almost anything they
have for the asking. First they gave
away the railroad station to Sumner,
then the corn factory, and the funniest
part of it all was the strip of land about
one-half mile from the station where
there was q drunken quarrel which re-
suited in the death of one of the parties.
They wanted this land and Hartford
cheerfully gave it to them.
