To many of our readers the

town, and we are naturally inter
eSted to read Of happenings
there. The following report
from a known and respect
ed resident will be helpful to
numbers Of men and women here
in Lexington.

The above is not am isolated
case. Judge Creason is only
one Of many in this vicinity who
nave gratefully endorsed DOan $.

two horse wagons to haul this
paper money. 1t has all, how
ever, come from this one shop
and is all to be replaced by mon
ey of the smaller sizes. Which
goes TO show that it will be
something of a job to crowd all
this currency out and put the
new notes in its place.
Even under ordinary conditions
the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing finds it necessary to
manufacture about 300, 100000
pieces Of paper money each year
in order to supply new money
for redemption of old and money
to take care Of the ever increas-
ing business. This means the
manufacture of about $50 tons of
paper money every year; it hay-
ing a value of about a billion
dollars. These amounts reg
ularly pass through the hands of
United States Treasurer Lee
McClung every year.
Every piece of paper money
that is manufactured by the Gov
eminent costs on am average a
cent and "A half. This means
that at present we are spending
about 81 100000 a year in the
manufacture Of this money. The
new scheme will reduce the ton
mage of this paper money by one
third and simplifying the pro
cesses is expected to bring about
a very material reduction in
cost.
The Treasury Department ex-
poets to proceed with the manu-
facture of this small sized paper
money as soon as it has per-
fected designs. Then having
manufactured some ten or fiji
teen tons of it as a basis of re-
serve in putting it out, the
change will officially take place.
1t will then be announced that
as soon as the reserve supply
of notes of any denomination are
exhausted the smaller currency
will be issued in their place.

1000 national banks, and each
one has its own money struck
Ioff at the Federal Bureau of En-
CRAVING aud Printing. All these
are different. The man on the
street is confused and does not
know what to expect a dollar
bill to look like.
Under che new system every
ten dollar bill will be just like
every other with the exception
that, in national bank notes,
the individual name of the bank
and number Of the note will be
printed in. The same will be
true Of every other denomination.
Under the old system every
national bank has its own plates,
and there are over 10000 Of
these at the bureau. Under the
new system 200 plates will do all
the work and the task Of putting
in the name Of the individual
bank will merely be one Of job
printing.
The 10000 plates at the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing have
been made at the expense of
the national tanks owning them
and have cost about $50. each.
The bureau keeps these plates
for each bank, and whenever a
given bank wants to issue more
currency it deposits securities
and orders the given amount OF
money struck off of its plates.
Under the new system the bureau
viii keep ON hand a large sup
ply Of money Of the given de-
nominations which lacks only
the name Of the bank Of issue.
Then when an order is received
from a bank only its name and
address will have to be printed
in a space left for that purpose.
This will preatly simplify the
whole business of supplying new
money.
The present notes are 7.2e
Inches long and 3.04 inches wide
The new money is to be six in
ches long and two and a hal
inches wide. This means that
little over al inch and a quar-
ter is to be cut off the length
and a little over half an incl
off the width of the notes. II

For every dollar bill that gets
into circulation after the new
money is in use will bear the
face of the Father Of His Coun-
try.
Heretofore the faces Of many
individuals have appeared on the
currency. This appearance was
without rhyme or reason and was
? largely a matter of chance. But,
upon this occasion, when the
currency is to have a general
ovar-hauling, it has been deemed
wise to use much discretion and
select for its ornamentation the
men who have meant most to
the country.
There are nine different de-
nominations and the selection of
the nine men who have meant
most to the country has been a
matter which has given Treasury
officials much perplexity. The
plan was not to give the greatest
) men places on the bills Of larg-
est denomination, but upon the
money that was most used.
The one dollar bill is more il
: the hands of the multitude ther
any other denomination and i
! therefore regarded as the mos
important piece of paper money

But above and beyond all this
the change in the size of the notes
would give an excellent OPP

whole matter of their issue. For
the paper money that people
spend is not a product of care

dollar bills, for instance, are of
a dozen different designs. The
face of almost anybody from Te-

are $4,000 different dies from

.aye also been called into con
aultation with relation to the
engraving and printing.
At present there are nineteen
miscellaneous portraits and his
t%orical designs appearing on the
sues of money in use. These
various designs serve no useful
purpose in identifying the de
nomination of notes, nor are
they selected according to any
scheme Of historic balance. The
following arc some of the eX-
amples Of the existing confusion
The central figure of the one
dollar silver certificate is an
American eagle with the Capitol
in the background. The five
dollar silver certificate bears the
head of a Sioux chief. The cen
trial figure on a five dollar Unit
ed States note is a wOodSman
armed with axe and rifle, APP
parently protecting his wife
and child, and, as an added en-
Enlistment, a yignette Of An
drew Jacksor is placed in the
lower left hand corner. On the
five dollar national bank note is
a portrait Of Benjamin Harri-
son, with The landing of the Pill
grins ON The reverse side.
Thus there are three five dol
lar notes that are entirely diff
ferent from each other and with
out any historical significance or
harmony. The ten dollar de
Nominations show equal confu-
sion. Onthe gold certificates is
the portrait of Michael Hillegas,
on the ten dollar United States
note the central figure is a buff
falo, while on the ten dollar
national bank note appears the
portrait Of President Mckinley.
The United States has a world
reputation for the excellence OF
its money from the standpoint OF
the difficulty in counterfeiting it
This country has developed the
art Of note making to such an
extent that all the world is com
ing to it for advice.
While there is better art work
on the currency Of some Of the
European countries than upor
ours, none OF them has anything
like our degree Of security from

countries, Italy is probably tn,
