Grand Forks, N. d, Oct. 24.-Prof. w.
j. Trimble of the state agricultural
college presided over the history and
civics section of the association at the
report of the secretary, Miss Bertha
Palmer, was made for the past yea
and the new officers elected.
The papers presented were practical
and were directed toward vital prob
lens now before the teachers of civics
and history.
Professor corroll of the MayvilIe nor
NAL discussed the early steps of his
torical training In his paper on What
Can This Association Do to Improve the
History Work in the Elementary
Schools, and was followed in general
discussion by superintendent Langdon.
There was a lively interest manifest
ed in the task of interesting pupils at
the very outset in q subject so well cal
cu1ated to broaden the students nut
look.
The second paper by Professor Da-
vies OF the Valley City normal college
was an able presentation of civic as a
means, not SO much for memorizing
technical details' Y for training
of citizenship. The discussion, led by
Professor Kirchman of the agricultural
college, called out a lively debate, The
last paper, Some Practical Values of
Historical Study, given by Prof, w. N.
I Stearns was a consideration of the sub
ject from the standpoint OF the maturer
mind. The point taken vas history
teaching for broadening the horizon, by
providing a historic precedent and ex-
ample, and stimulating interest in those
subjects that make for larger culture
and keener appreciation of the true
values of life. The debate was ably led
by Pres, A. 9. Crane OF Minot state
normal college, whose presentation OF
the need for selecting materials foI
their value to the student rather thar
as details merely, was warmly receiv-
ed.
Several committees reported al the
close. Professor Gillette Of the uni
Versity presented the report on soci.
ology, and Professor Libby of the uni.
versity a report on Indian legends.

The BIG Monsoon TRUNK
Cut of 1t Appeared in LssIie's Weekly
MO Question About the
Fake.

Leslie's Weekly of Get. II
contained a picture of a huge trunk,
underneath which 1t is stated: This
structure was made in England, and
its constructor intended using it as a
wagon car for carrying wares to diff
ferent fairs, a the goods could be
packed with greater safety in the
trunk than in an old fashioned
wagon" This may go with the people
who eve attended the fairs in Far
go and have never seen John Mon
sons big trunk. The cut in Leslie's
not only showed the Monson trunk,
but also q cut of Mr.. Monson's nephew
alongside. Some one has evidently
gotten a copy of the picture and
slipped one over on Leslie's.

TRADE DOLLARS.
Authorized In 1873 and Demonetized
BY the Act of 1887.

Authorized In 1873 and Demonetized
BY the Act Of 1887.
A trade dollar is slightly larger
than a standard dollar, but 1t Is no;
current coin, and its metal value is
only about 40 cents, though coin col
lectors will pay 80 cents for 1t.
So many Of these mongrel dollars
were in circulation a generation ago
that most persons were watchful to
avoid getting one. but in recent years
they have been so rare that many peo-
pie never have seen one.
Trade dollars were authorized by
congress in 1873 for the purpose of
stimulating commerce with the Orient.
For many years the Mexican silver
dollar had been a highly valued coin
| In nearly all far eastern countries.
Hundreds Of millions Of them were
shipped to China, japan, the Philip
pines and other countries in that part
Of the world to pay for the products
exported from them to Europe and
the United States.
American lawmakers thought that
coin Of practically the same weight
and size as the Mexican dollar bear
ing the imprint Of the United States
could be used advantageously as a
substitute for the Mexican dollar.
In the five years beginning with
l1S73 the United States mint produced
nearly 36,OOO,000 of these dollars.
Most of them were exported, but
enough Of them remained in this
country to be embarrassing because
Of their similarity to the standard sill
yer dollar, and in 1887 congress pro-
vided that for six months Thereafter
all trade dollars presented to the
treasury should be exchanged tor
standard silver dollars. and after that
time the trade dollars were left TO
shift for themselves, being worth only
their metal value plus whatever pre-
MUM coin collectors might be willing
to pay for them. Nearly 100000 OF
them were redeemed, and when the
| period for redemption ended only
I2S4,587 of them remained In this
country. less than l per cent OF the
number that had been coined.
The trade dollars have on one side
sitting figure of the Goddess Of Lib
erty and on the other an eagle Of a
different design from that on the
standard dollar. The inscription Is,
United States Of America. Trade
Dollar, 420 grains. 900 fine"
The standard silver dollar weighs
412.5 grains. The weight Of the Mexi-
can dollar Is 41779 grains, but 1927
per cent Of 1t is pure silver. so that
though 1t weighs less its metal value
Is about per cent more than that of
| the old trade dollar. Probably this
Is the reason that the trade dollar
never made hit with the people of
the far east. There Is ground for
suspicion that the originators Of the
trade dollar thought the orientals
might be duped into taking it in pref
erence to the Mexican dollar because
Of its slightly greater weight, not
withstanding the fact that its silver
value was about Z per cent less. But
the oriental money changers quick
ly learned this difference in value, and
the deception wouldn't work.
The trade dollar was authorized by
the coinage act which became famous
under the designation of the crime
Of '73" in the free silver agitation
which began a few years later and
continued for more than twenty
lyears.-Kansas City Star.

HAS

ON LOWEST LEVEL

During the past few days another
strike of considerable magnitude
has been made in the Montana
mine; this time on the lower levels.
on what is supposed to be the down
ward extension of the Macdonald
ledge
Where the crosscut passed
through the ore body the latter
showed width of more than FIVE
feet, and none of the assays taken,
report has it, show a value of less
than $25 to the ton.
This is the second strike of i'm
portance that has occurred in the

and both have tended to demon
strate the fact that as depth is
attained in this property the lodges
show increased strength and the
ores are richer than in the upper
