Night Proved Splendid Success
in All Respects.

About eighty of the juniors and sem
Tors Of the high school were present

next year. He voiced his regrets OF
the fact and wished the following SEN

banquet dancing was enjoyed until
late hour. The large hall was beauti-
full with canopy Of purple and white
streamers caught up in the center with
a large Japanese parasol. The eve
ming was most pleasantly arranged and
all enjoyed the entertainment COM
pletely.

Croesus, of Lydia, was the first mon

some time between $50 and SAG B. c.
Darius, Of Persia, is said to have later
adopted this idea also
AT a very early age the anctents
found it necessary to discover some
definite medium of exchange to take
the place of the inconvenient method
of bartering-the most primitive means
of carrying on trade. Metal was
chosen doubtless by reason of its
durability, and in the case of gold and
silver, by reason of their intrinsic val
ne. Silver and brass were first used,
particularly in Greece, from a lack Of
sufficient gold. Later, however, this
deficiency was overcome in manner

HOW OUR "MONEY" ORIGINATED
to be described further on.

TO be described further on.
The less liable a metal is to change
in value the better it is suited for a
standard
The first method of using precious
metal as medium of exchange was
impracticable and announcement. 1t was
simply weighed and exchanged, in full,
for commodities of various sorts. Soon,
as commercial transactions Increase
and became more complicated, it was
found necessary to divide the mass in
to units of various weights, which
took the form of rough coins. To this
day there is one surviving relic Gin
name only of this first system of pay
ment by weight. 1t is the world pound
This division proved unsatisfactory al
so, since no two merchants were likely
to have split their store of silver into
pieces of equal weight. Their units
could not be taken as a standard,
since a piece of weighed metal be-
comes a coin only when it is stamped
by the state, and is thus guarded to
have its professed weight and purity.

Not a Continental Ran.

The Houston Post, which assumes

Senator Joe Bailey does or says, would
lead the public to believe that il rep

Bailey as a result OF his violent de-
Tense Of Lorimer, the Post says:
Bailey's democracy suits Texas and Texas

Evidences are at hand, however.
which tend to discredit this bland as
seTtion. The Houston Chronicle, a
very vigorous contemporary of the
Post, has this to say on the subject:
The facts are, regardless of the with
drawn resignation, that Senator Bailey Is a
man without party, and that the prestige
he once enjoyed has left him, never to
return. His Texas worshipers may keeI

term, but eventually Senator Bailey and
all Of his kind are scheduled to be elm

the people of Texas, Evidently there
are some who do care continental raI
