THE new dime IS OUT
Nicknamed the "Battle AK" But
Withal a Nice Coin.

Have you seen the new battle ak"
dimes, which the Treasury Depart
ment has recently turned into the
money market for distribution?
The new dime was designed by A
dolph A. Weinman, a sculptor, who
also made the design for the new half
dollars, which are being coined. The
diverse side of the new dime shows
a head of Liberty In profile, with a
winged cap and with the face to the
left. The word Liberty" is in large
letters at the top with the year of
coinage. and In God We Trust" at
the bottom. The reverse side shows
"a bundle of rods in the center and the
protruding battle ak, symbols of uni.
ty, Surrounding the central design
is an olive wreath, denoting peace.
The lettering on this side Is United
States of America, +" One Dime" and
"E Pluribus Unum."
The words, Liberty" In God we
Trust" and Il Pluribus unum" did
not appear on the old dimes. On
the old coin, United States of Amer
lea" appeared on the diverse side,
whereas on the new coins these words
have been placed on the reverse
|side, giving Liberty" the most prom
|inent position on the coin. This ii
the first change In the dime design
since 1891.

this increased marketing indicates an
exceptional outlet for pork products.
AS long as the war lasts traders
here believe this good demand will
continue, but many look for liberal
supplies the remainder of the year
and possibly a lower scale than now
prevails.

Mix Tester Employed.

A committee composed of Messrs.
H. B. Curler, Paul Augustus, W. V.
Rogers, Phelen Hunter and Mrs S. B.
Stevens, appointed by the Cow-Testing
Association, which was formed about
three weeks ago, met at the court house
last Wednesday and selected Mr.. Shelf
Thomas, Jr., as tester. Mr.. Thomas
is a graduate of the A. & M. College
and is 1 thoroughly capable of doing the
work.
In writing up the meeting Of the as
ISOLATION, when it was formed several
weeks ago, the paragraph below was
separated from the main article, and is
therefore reprinted:
This is a very wise and progressive
move and one that keeps NoXubee in
the forefront in the dairying business.
If anything keeps Noxuoee from be-
coming a really great dairy country, it
will be lack of care in keeping COWS
that are profitable and in feeding them
the proper food to produce milk and
butter fat. This association ought to
and doubtless will, mean a great deal
to the country.
