THE COIN WITH A HOLE.

Il. J. Bukley. representative In con-
gress from Ohio, who is member oi
the house committee on banking and
| currercy, has introduced a bin to au-
thorze the coinage Of ; cent pieces
l'There are men not old who can re-
member the cent piece made OF nickel
which was in common use some years
ago. II went out of circulation lust
before the copper cent piece disap-
peared. The reason for it's withdrawal
from circulation was shat unscrupu-
lous persons gave il i'm change To thc
ignorant and unsuspecting i'm place OF
the silver dime.
Uncle sam at times has proved that
in spite Of all the precautions Which
he takes TO prevent fraud, ne Is apt
TO lend hand TO fraud unwittingly.
The old 2 cent piece was passed fire.
quently for a dime the old 20 cent
piece often was given and taken for "A
fun quarter, while the first cent nick
el piece coined was passed frequently
for coin worth just 10O times its
face value. The orig mal nickel" had
a ~" on its face, but the word cents
was omitted. Sharpers gilded the nick
el and passed it for q So gold piece. 1t
was withdrawn from circulation as
rapidly as possible and there after all
the nickel pieces coined bore the word
cents"
II is said that there is>a need for a
cent piece i'm business. but Just from
what business quarters the demand
comes. no one seems To he able to say
definitely. II IS apparent that Mr..
Bulkley does not intend that the new
coir. If ne can secure authority to have
1t made, shan be made the medium of
fraud. His bill provides that each
piece shall be perforated at the center,
thus making II much like a Chinese
coin with a hole i'm it,
1t is said the United States gov
ernment never has issued a coin or a
hill which the counterfoiters and the
sharpers have not studied carefully
with a view to profit. There will be
some, curiosity TO learn from the secret
service reports a few weeks after Mr.
Bulklcy's perforated 3 cent piece gets
into circulation just what game the
have found that they can
work with it. The hole is said To be
the best defense against counterfeit

Consider well the potato. II com
poses one-fourth of our food. fact
which emphasizes it's Importance.
But the potato is not alone food .

Standard oil, for from il can be dis
titled an Illuminating oil that is cheap

nush! we are told that Intoxicating
liquors have been made from It,
II is called the Irish potato, prob
ably because It came from Peru some
day the American farmer will awaken
to the potato an6 he will assume a
place of even greater Importance.
Last year America suffered a potato
famine, and this has brought the
awakening With potatoes at 81 a
bushel the American farmer is asking
how the German farmers produce 500
and 500 bushels to the acre while he
only averages seventy five in good
years, and the farmer generally gets
the right answer after awhile.
The greatest potato farmer Of Eng
land is her richest man and a former
prime minister. Lord Rosehery. He
raised an average Of 675 bushels to the
acre on his farm near Edinburgh last
year.
And just TO show the Importance of
the ''spud', King George has conferred
knighthocd on p tenant Scotch farmer
who Tor twenty years has farmed 265
acres Of potatoes.
But O. We chicken farmers and apple
crchardists. don't think that potato
growing is sure road to getting rich
quick. 1t is the business OF the man
who knows, and the American farmer
is himself Just learning how to grow
