While in many respects this new is
sue of paper money follows the gen

retire. there are some notable changes
from the TEACHING bank currency. The
new bills show the tendency of the
times toward increased white space,
which printers agree is the hardest Of
all to initiate.
China was the first nation to use
paper currency. AS early as the sec
ond century paper money was used by
the Chinese. but in the fifteenth cen
fury the Chinese minister of tinance
abolished it. and not until the late
nineteenth century was it resumed
upon the advice of Ii Hung Chang.

sired result.
The sheep and goat industry has as.
sumed considerable Importance in<re-
cent years in the southwestern part Of
Texas and in southern New Mexico and
Arizona. 1t has been retarded how.
ever. by the presence of large numbers
or big wolves that have proved on the
nocks with disastrous results. Scores
or sheep often have been killed in a
night by these marauders. In consa-
quence the three states offered bonn
ueS Il sent out hunters to kill the
animals. Governor Colquitt recently
asked the state department to put the
matter before the Mexican authorities

from that country when others had
