Ak Head Money.

of rings. in such a manner as to sug-
gest that all alike were intended to
serve as money. and the conclusion is
drawn that in ancient times the metal
ak head had come to be a popular
unit of value for purposes of barter.
After it had disappeared as actual
money the memory of it, according to
this theory. was preserved in the coins
of Tenedos. which bore the figure of
an ak head. 1t has been suggested
that the wedge of gold' which Achan
stole from the spoils of Jericho and
for the stealing of which Joshua had

The NavOlatO sugar properties have
been owned for the last IS years by
Jesus, Jorge and PoncianO Armada,
