CHANGE IN COINAGE OF
ENGLISH MONEY POPULAR

London, Sept. 19.-Now that 10
smiling notes have come into circu
latlon and the people are reconciied
to their use, it seems likely that the
half sovereign gold piece of this value
may not be coined again. At least
there is popular agitation on against
the small gold piece. According 10
a well known banker, if a thousand
pounds in half sovereigns were ship
ped from London TO Petrograd. gold
equal to one OF the pieces would he
lost by abrasion on the way. Thus
a large amount of gold is lost daily
through the wear and tear of these
coins. Before the war, the five-pound
Bank of England note was the small.
est piece of paper money issued
Pound and half-pound t1O-shillingD
notes were issued on the outbreak of
the war, and since the decline in
American exchange, gold has disap.
peared almost entirely from circu!a-
tion. 1t is not paid out by the banks
in any case.
The small gold piece, which loses
more metal through wear and tear
than the sovereign, is not the only
coin to be condemned by coinage
reformers. The half crown (two aud
half shillings) has also been at
tackled in the newspapers as a sense
less piece OF silver, since the form,

often confused by English people as
well as BY strangers, is the oper
multiple of a shilling Silver cror ms
have not been coined for many yeas
and they were never popular be
cause of their bulk So the reform
ers advocate a four-shilling pie,e,
which would correspond to the Ameri-
can silver dollar.

kinds weak to 10 cents lower. Most
of the native prices sold at 50. 10 to
$3.50. In the quarantine division
prices were 10 cents lower. Butcher
cattle were steady to 10 cents lower,
though fairly active demand. Veal
calves were steady. Few stockers
and feeders were offered and prices
ara firm. This is the beginning of
the small runs of thin cattle, and the
big movement will not be resumed
until late summer. Most of the
stockers and feeders are selling at

Hog prices were quoted steady to 5
cents higher than Saturday. The top
price was ST. rs, paid by shippers, and
the bulk of the. hogs sold to packers

CROPS FOR LATE PLANTING

On account of the unusual rainfall
and cool weather that has prevailed
in western Kansas, doubtless much
of the sorghums planted early and
possibly some of the corn will have to
be replanted. For this purpose, if
sorghUms are to be planted, the
earliest maturing varieties that can
be secured will be advisable if grain
is expected and even then one may be
disappointed. With favorable condi-
tions from-now on and a late frost it
may be possible yet to mature grain
from the earliest varieties. The time
required from planting until the
grain is ripe will wary with different
seasons. This period last year at the
Hays station was 103 days for white
cane and lis days for feterita.
These two crops will offer the best
chance TO mature grain of any of the
Sorghums commonly grown in W western-
Kansas. Usually the white cane will
mature about two weeks earlier than
feteTita ana will have therefore a
greater possibility of maturing before
frost. This crop is thought much of
in some localities and has generally
given good satisfaction where IL has
been tried in this district. 1t pro-
duces good yields of grain and of a
quality nearly equal to kafir. The
forage is not so good as some of the
better. varieties of sweet sorghums
but makes fairly good quality of
roughage. Combining the grain with
the forage it makes good crop to
grow in this section.
Feterita VIII usually be second in
have next choice for late planting. /
have in mind field of feterita which
the owner stated was planted July Is
last season and the crop was matured
ready TO harvest by the second week
in September. Feterita should be
grown. mostly as a grain crop but L
find it difficult to convince some
farmers that. it is not also a forage
crop. If the entire plant is to be
used it is perhaps best utilized in the
silo. All the reports received from
farmers who have fed feterita as sill
age have been favorable for that crop.
With the present moisture condi-
tions, either of the above crops, if
planted soon, will have a good chance
to mature crop before frost

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION

OONDAr SCnOOL SONt ENI1ON
The eighteenth annual county Sun
day School Convention was held in
the NJ. e. church on Wednesday with
a three session meeting.
Rev. Woodward opened the morn
ing session with the devotional, after
which R. G. Wilson gave the officers
greeting, followed by E. D. Wheeler
with the response; both showing the
purpose of the meeting and the mu-
tual feeling of the Sunday school
workers and school.
Prof. W. E. Raffety was then
introduced and gave delightful and
interesting talk with outline on
s'The Child that God Made" and in
his talk gave many thoughts for all
to carry through the year and profit
by the same. Then all were treated
to some fine talks and helps on
Temperance Being Taught in the
Sabbath Schools. Mrs. Hunt, the
superintendent of temperance, began
with very good talk with quota
tions from great men. Mr.. Wheeler
added some very good thoughts and
helps which were much appreciated.
And not least by any means was the
drill and song by the little girls
under the management of Mrs. Long.
After the noon hour Rev. Allison
opened the afternoon session with
the devotional period. The cOnyen-
tion was then treated to a fine report
by the delegate to the State S. S.
Convention held in Topeka last
month, and after listening to him
one could not help but feel "I wish L
could have been therep and . great
many resolved to go at somes future
time. A. w. Purinten told us Of
many ways to use our Special Days
and showed Us that where ever =
school is located they may be observed.
The Teen Age session was a great
feature in the program; the Superin-
tendent being unable to conduct it,
the president called for the topics.
how to divide the teens and showed
many helps for the teen age question.
Miss Edna Walker then told of what
their class in the early teen age were
doing in the line of a club, which
was much appreciated. Miss Mary
Croft gave most excellent talk on
the subject and showed where so
much is needed to be done in these
years and how much of the making
made at those ages of life. Prof.
Raffety added some to what had al
ready been said when that session
closed and the missionary superinten-
dent, Miss Helen Wilson, opened that
session with few remarks on mis-
sionary education in the Sunday
school Mrs. Yetter told of many
things she had cleaned along that
line at the state convention.
A number of girls who had been
trained by the superintendent then
gave drill and song in costums, ''The
Whole World for Jesus, for. which
they were heartily applauded.
Mrs. Allison gave us many good
things on Missionary Education in
the primary grades and with her
curias held the attention and interest !
of all.
