Henry NJ. Speicher, Of Accident, Md,
passed through Meyersdale last Satur-
day morning with eighteen Stoneycreek
township farmers en- route to the
Speicher Bros. fine stock farm at Accl-
dent, to show them some high-class i'm
ported horses. The Speicher Bros.
have sold about ten imported stations
in Somerset county during the past
year. The Stonycreek township dele
cation was conveyed to and from Acct
dent in three large touring cars at the
expense Of the enterprising horse deal

While the proposed coinage of half
cent and three-cent pieces has provoked
many interesting objections. the most
curious Of all comes from PENNSYLVANIA.
1t comes, too from church leader, none
other, in fact, than Bishop Lengel, of
the Followers of Christ denomination.
That worthy man opposes the new coins
on the simple ground that they would
result in shrinkage of church revenues.
His belief is that many persons who
! nowadays drop a nickel or a dime into
the contribution box on Sunday would
cut their offerings to three cents or half
a cent if the smaller coins were avail
able. But the good bishop, however,
finds one appealing feature in the pro-
jected coinage, and that is that children
who now contribute nothing might give
half a cent, and that parents unwilling
to give nickel might feel disposed to
donate three cents. The bishops argu-
ment against the coins of smaller de-
nominations goes only half way. Why
not demand the abolition of the one
cent, five-cents and ten-cent pieces, in
order that person DESTROYS of contribu-
ting to the church fund would have to
drop at least twenty-five ceuts into the
box.
