HAS RARE COIN
w. G.. McFayden Prizes Canadian
3-Cent Piece Found Half
Century Ago.

Gregory, July w. c. McFay-
den, of this city. is the owner of a
coin which is one of the most inter
esting and most valuable of its kind
in the collection of any resident OF
the country. 1t is a small Canadian
Scent piece with a star on one side.
On the other side is engraved the
Lords prayer in small Gothic letters,
and the engraving Is so well done
that the words may easily be read by
anyone with good eyesight without
the aid of reading glass. The coin
came into possession of Mr. McFay-
den fifty years ago this month when
he found it on the streets of st.
Eleanor, st. Edwards Island, his ma
tive town. At the time he was boy
of but 16 years of age. Realizing
that the coin was valuable he decided
to retain ii as a keepsake. One day
the old coin disappeared. and Nc
Fayden thought he never would re-
cover it, but it developed that his
mother had taken ii from his pocket
for fear he would lose it. When q
son was born TO McFayden and wife
his mother gave the old coin 10 Mrs
McFayden and it has been a prized
relic in the family ever since.

PROFITS OF WAR
PATRIOTISM AND BUSINESS ARE
MINED ON THE BORDER.

San Antonio, Tex, July Here
and there i'm all border towns patriot
ism and commercialism are so inter
woven that it is often hard to distin-
guish them. Many expect to get
rich out of the big military move
ment now going on In many in
stances men who are talking most of
sending troops into Mexico are con
tractors, who hope to sell the army
equipment or supplies.
III the cleaning up of Mexico by
American soldiers should require any
great length of time and should a
large military force be necessary, It
will mean the distribution OF an
enormous sum of money among the
commercial and business men Of the
border states and in Mexico.
An army of prospective investors
will follow the United States troops
into Mexico The discussion of the
rare opportunities for acquiring land
and other property in that country at
low prices should American military
occupation then occur is heard here
on all sides In the first place there
are more than so, 600 Americans now
i'm the United States who We're forced
to flee from Mexico on account ol
the revolutionary troubles. Most oi
these men wish to return TO that
country when il is safe TO do so
Mexican refugees of the middle anc
wealthy class who are debarred from
returning TO their native land as Ions
as Carranza is in power number
probably 200, 600 to 500, 600. 1t i.
expected that they will cross into
Mexico close upon the heels OF the
American invaders.
II is expected that the private'
and officers of the federalized ma
tional guard of the different states
will spend much more money thar
the regulars In many cases th'
state soldiers are men of private
means. In other instances regula
monthly contribution is made to dif
/ ferent companies by their home peo
pie. The FL Paso company received
$500 month from citizens of tha
city to be used as spending money.
\ II Is estimated that not less thai
100000 a day will be spent by sol
diers in border service. This is II
addition. of course. TO the enormou
sum that the government will turl
4 loose for the maintenance OF tn
army.

however. and the further statement
of the British that the fighting all

seem to indicate that each side IS de-
