Curious Facts About Money.

The average lifetime of the differ
ent denominations of United States pa
per currency differs considerably; that
of the 81 silver certificate, for instance,
being but a trine over one year; the
IS silver certificate, 10 years; the $40
gold certificate, 1.6s years; $40 gold Ger
tifieate 3.1S years, etc. The number of
pieces of u. S. paper currency in CIR
culation is gradually increasing and
numbered 1927, 1929, 159 on June 80, 1912.
There were 273426,336 pieces of United
States currency redeemed during the
same period, which exceeded by 6,21S, AIS
the number of pieces issued the pre-
ceding year. The increasing growth in
redemptions is due primarily to the
growth in business activities, the pub
1licity given to uncleanliness and al
legged insanitation Of soiled notes, and
the consequent demand for cleaner
money; the growing practice Of pay
ment OF wages in factories, shops, etc.
weekly and biweekly, as compared with
monthly. and growing popularity OF
paper money in sections where silver
was formerly in the greatest demand,

Our New Fish and Game Law.

One Of the most important steps for
ward since the inception of systema-
tic attempt toward protecting the fish
and game Of Maine is the revision of
the laws governing these sporting pur-
suits. More than 700 useless and con-
fnsing laws, rules and regulations
have been dispensed with by the State
commission and legislative committee
working under the counsel of the Hon.
Leroy r. Carleton, former chairman of
the commission.
Weeks of the hardest kind of worl;
were granted to the task and the re-

unflinching loyalty of Governor Haines
to the peoples best interests and his
party pledges, meet with approval and
arouse admiration and trust:
1T does not need to be said that
members of the w. c. T. T., not only
in Maine but everywhere, are mex
pressibly grateful to Governor Haines
for his heroic and commendable action
regarding the removal of sheriffs for
failure TO enforce the prohibitory Law.
We are grateful. too, to those legisla-
tors who upheld the Governor. thus
rendering more safe the homes Of
Maine and the homes of the nation.

within the year. called out the militia
to help enforce the prohibitory fea-
lures of the liquor laws of the state it
is no wonder that he received. in re +.
