Assistant Secretary OF the Treasurer
Coolidge has approved a plan for system
atizing designs for United States notes and
coin certificates. thus carrying into effect
a scheme of uniformity in portrait and
general design for notes of the SAM
denomination OF each class. The plan
adopted will embody the ideas of officials
of the treasury department. bankers, bus
mess men and currency experts.
II is believed that the new notes when
put into circulation will be welcomed by the
public on account of their simplicity and
tine readiness with which different denom-
nations may be fixed in mind. At present
there are nineteen different designs for
United States notes and coin certificates
Of various denominations leading to con-
fusion and uncertainty.
Under the plan adopted all classes of
notes of each denomination will carry the
same portrait, and no portrait will appear
on the notes of more than one denomina-
ton, nor will any portrait be used which
will not be Immediately recognizable by
every person who handles money.
The 81 silver certificates will carry the
portrait of Washington, the s. silver GER
tificate the portrait of jefferson. The So
note, whether silver certificate or green
hack, will cary the portrait Of Lincoln.
the $40 gold and silver certificate ana
United States note that of Cleveland, the
so that of Jackson. the $50 that OF Grant.
the 800 that OF Franklin, the 500 that OF
Salmon p. Chase, the 1900 that of Alex
ander Hamilton. The eagle, the buffalo
and the Indian head, which have proved
TO be easily counterfeited. also will dis
appear.

FAIRFIELD MAN
WANTS TOADS
DECLARES THEY ARE SURE
DEATH TO INSECTS AND
ALL WORMS.

Fairfield, July 14.-Finding in bufol-
antiginosus, Or as it is known to the
small boy, hop toad, willing assistant
of the gardener, w. H. Pence, con-
tracing machinist Of this city, is en-
deavoring to put the repulsive little
animals natural tendencies to real
economic value and has advertised for
toads in local paper, desiring to
stock his garden and premises with
Jumpers The remarkable advertise
ment created considerable comment
when it first appeared.
Mr.. Pence is in earnest in his effort
to stock his place with toads. GIVE
done it BEFORE" he said, land it works
to perfection. The little fellows are
sure death on insects and worms and
will keep a place clean. Annoying
flies disappear like magic when the
toads are around, and if more people
made use of toads there would be few
er reports of the vegetables ruined by
bugs and worms and less complaint
about tuberculosis.
People drove the toads out and it
wasn't until they disappeared that the
bugs came into the gardens in such
large numbers. remember when the
cabbage worms first came. We never
used to have any of them. Itell you
If people would only open UP Their
pocket books and let nature advertise
little about what she can do, they'd
! be wonderfully surprised.
s'I've used the toads before. and
found them the greatest eradicatol
we've got"
Such a firm belief has Mr.. Pence
In the value of toads that he is willing
to pay out good money to advertise
for them and more good money to pur
chase them. If he secures more than
enough for himself, he says, he would
have no objections to going into the
business of providing friends and
neighbors with the hoppers. He is ar
ardent believer in the societies for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals sc
has a two-fold reason for wishing tc
stock his premises with much abused
toads,
