There is always class of people in
terested in the solution of curious
problems. These later get into the
newspapers and become matters of
amusing controversy. InIthe United
States, says a London newspaper,
the American dollar has the eX-
change value of 80 cents. In Mex
leo the American dollar has the same
value. In the frontier of the Unit
ed States where Texas joins Mexico
there are two saloons, one on each
side of the frontier. A man buys a
ten-cent drink of whiskey at the
American saloon and pays for it
with an American dollar, receiving
"A Mexican dollar az change. With
this he crosses the border, goes into
the Mexican saloon, hands over the
Mexican dollar for ten-cent drink
and receives an American dollar as
changes 1t is evident that the linn

Secretary of the commonwealth
McAfee has sent to each OF the 81
counties in the state certified copy
of the ballot to be used at the Nov.
election, hut accompanied it by a let
ter making the unusual statement
that there might be other certifi-
cations, and that it might be wise
for commissioners to wait until
shortly before the election to award
contracts for printing. This action
was taken because of the require
ment5 of the law. The State statues
provide that certified lists of nomi-
nation shall be forwarded to the
counties at this time. In his letter
the secretary says: ~ beg leave to
call your attention:to the fact that
nominations can still be made by
nomination papers, which may be
filed in )this department up to
and including, Tuesday Sept. 20,
and these additional nominations
must be certified to you at least ii
days before election. We have rea-
son to believe that there will be filed
i'm this office additional electoral tick
cts and there can he filed indepen
dent nominations for other offices
and the ballot as finally made up is
much greater IN size than it is at
present. 1t will, therefore, be in
advisable for you to make contracts
until IA days before election.,'
Because of this singular state of
affairs, it is probable that some effort
to amend the election laws moy be
made this coming session of the
Legislature.
