The Head on the Old Cent.
How Girls Head With Indian Head Dress
Was Designed.
From the Pittsburg Leader.]

TFrom the Pittsburg Leader
In 1885 the government of the United
States made an offer of $1,000 for the
most acceptable design to be placed upon
the new cent coin soon to be issued. Some
Indian chiefs travelled from the North
west to Washington to visit the great
faith er. Andrew jackson occupied the
executive chair and Martin Van Buren,
was Vice President. These Indians jour-
neyed to Philadelphia to inspect the mint,
whose chief engraver was James Barton
Longacre, who invited them to his house,
where, to celebrate the event, a distin-
guished company had assembled to well
come them.
The engraver's daughter, Sarah, aged
10, greatly enjoyed the visit of her faith
er's guests, and during the evening, to
please her, one of the chiefs took his
feathered helmet and war bonnet and
placed it on her head. In the company
was an artist who Immediately sketched
her and handed the picture to her father
MIR. Longacre knowing of the competition
for a likeness to 60 upon the cent project
ed, under the inspiration of the hour, re-
solved to contend for the prize offered by
the government. To his delight the Of
ficials accepted it, and the face of his
daughter appeared upon this coin, which
was circulated about the nation for near
ly century. 1t is said that there were
more than 100 competitors for the prize.
Savage and civilized life was thus in
termingled in the American face and the
Indian headgear The face of Sarah Long
acre has gone into more hands, more
pockets, more homes, more stores, more
banks, more schools; yes, more churches,
than any other coin in the United States,
if not in the world. 1t is said that the
dollar once boosted of it's superior value
to the cent, declaring the latter unworthy
to be in its company "Ah," replied the
cent, "you may be more valuable, but l
am more pious, for attend church every
Sunday, but you are seldom seen there. J"
The Indian chief considered it an honor
to put his bonnet upon the head of the
engraver's daughter, for the headgear
was an heirloom.

Supt. of Schools Starkey on
Closing of Schools.

Glenn w. Starkey, State superintend-
ent of public schools, in a letter recently
S ent out to school officers throughout the
State, calls attention to the dangers aris-
ing from the indiscriminate closing of
schools to meet the demands of the pres
ent war emergency. While he recognizes
the desire of every one to do everything
possible to contribute to the general well
fare and to make available every possible
resource of the State in furthering the
program necessary to be followed in
equipping the country for war, yet he be-
lieves that all schools should be kept in
session without curtailment of the length
of the school year. The following pro-
gram is suggested:
1. Keep all schools in session.
2. Release boys of 10 years or over
for enlistment in the Junior Volunteer
organization for farm work.
3. Release any boy, in individual cases
where it appears that definite chance
for service awaits him.
A. Release girls, as individuals, under
the same conditions.
5. Encourage home and school gardens.
Mr.. Starkey says further, eve have
been receiving suggestions from all sides
that schools should be closed, that the
child labor law should be made inopera-
tive in certain instances and that educa-
tlOnal activities in general should be sac
rificed. However, in spite of all argu-
ments to the contrary put forth by those
who may have given the ultimate result
little consideration it should be our set
tied policy to keep the schools running as
usual, releasing boys and girls only when
a definite land important task awaits
them, and then only as individuals. The
general closing of schools would be
grave mistake, the result of which would
be simply tremendous increase in our
street population. England is now suf-
fering from great addition to the ranks
of juvenile delinquents because of this
practice while France has had no such
experience with her schools kept as near
ly intact as possible.
'The present situation will furnish a
pretext on the basis of which many re-
quests for excusing of children from
school are likely to be made, but authori-
ties will do well to consider each request
carefully before determining what action
shall be taken. 1t would be easy to I'M
dermine our whole system of education
by the indiscriminate releasing of chill
dren from school and future years would
be sure to feel the effects of a precedent
thus established even during eXtraordl-
nary emergency. Let no one believe it to
be unpatriotic to keep children in school
unless their absence contributes to the
accomplishment of an important work
which would otherwise suffer"

JAPAN

Ever since Japan drove the Germans
out of China by armed force, the two
nations have been nominally, if not
actually, at war There has been no fight
ing, but peace has never been established
It is assuring to learn from reliable sources
that the japanese government is, and has
been operating quietly but effectually
against the Germans. Every shipyard
in Japan is busy turning out steel mer-
chant ships Japan has driven German
influence not only from China but from
the Far East. She has sent her destroy
erS to assist England in driving the u
boats from the sea. She has made the
Pacific safe for the ships of the world.
She has patrolled the Indian ocean so
effectively that the Germans have not
thought it safe to terrorize it. Just at
present she is rendering invaluable aid in
keeping Russia in line with her allies.
She is loaning money to that country and
has poured into Russia vast supplies of
munitions and other war material. 1t is
believed that if the Germans attempt to
invade Russia that Japan would oppose
such a movement with all her military
strength. Japan is secretive and her
censorship of military plans is of the
strictest sort, but we may safely conclude
that she is the enemy of Germany and
will send her armies to the front if neces-
sary. Japan realizes that the safety of
all nations can be but dream, if Prussian-
ism is triumphant in the war now raging.

American Students to Rebuild
France.

! WASHINGTON, May %. The conspicu-
GUS part that American universities are
playing in aiding American arms was
emphasized by the recent visit of DIR.
Edmund James James, president of the
University of Illinois, who came to offer
{ the Government the facilities of that
great university and particularly to bear
to Ambassador Jusserand of France a
unique offer of help when the days of
j reconstruction come in the devastated
| areas of France and Belgium.
! This was nothing less than the propos-
al of the University of Illinois to send to
| France complete city-building units of
expert engineers and to place these corps
at the disposal of the French Govern
ment.
! AS outlined by DR.. James, each unit
would consist of an architect, a land
scape gardener, an electrical engineer, a
highway civil engineer, a municipal and
sanitary engineer, chemical engineer,
and an economist. With such groups in
charge of details France would be rebuilt
! in model cities and villages, more de-
i lightful place in which to live than ever
! it was before war came.
| In order to prepare men for service in
such units the University Of Illinois will
conduct special training school this
summer, the courses being supplied from
it's School Of Architecture-one of the
largest in the country-its School of
Engineering, and it's courses in Land
scape Gardening and Sanitary, Civil and
| Highway Engineering. The object of
| this school will be to train professional
men in CO operation between their vari-
Gus specialties required by such city
planning and rebuilding work as the
western Allied countries will need as
rapidly as the enemy is pushed back.
Some of the most eminent engineers
and architects of the country are expect
ed to enroll in this summer school, which
! will begin, DR.. James said, on July 1st at
the seat of the university in Urbana-
Champaign, Illinois. 1t is believed that
trained units can be turned out in six
months time.
| The organization of ambulance corps in
many universities, military training
schools in others, the encouragement of
gardening and food economy by others,
are among the efforts which American
institutions of learning are making for
victory. The University of Illinois, DR..
James told newspaper correspondents
here, all the year has been training 1900
Freshmen and Sophomores as brigade;
it has organized a hospital unit, signal
corps, an engineering company and a
field battery; and this summer it will
conduct Junior Military Training Camp
for High school boys, the instruction be-
ing given by the cadet officers of the
university brigade and the military COM

way home to Cuba, he was interviewed
in Geneva and said:

that l have been able to thoroughly study
the character of our enemies. Things are

in reality there are cracks in it.
He also said that there was no prospect
of immediate improvement in the food
situation in Germany. The above seems

Has any backyard farmer considered
sowing wheat in his garden? There's one
advantage in growing wheat. You don't
have to weed it.-Boston Globe.
1t is an advantage that is accompanied
by a big disadvantage, however, involving
as it does the after-harvest separation of
the wheat and the tares.-Biddeford

"FUTURES."

After the harvest is over and some
times earlier, the speculator sends out his
agents to buy wheat of the farmer and
the farmer is paid for his wheat This is
legitimate transaction if the farmer is
paid fair price. If, however, the opera
tors in the wheat pitt have previously
iuggled prices below where they should
be, then the farmer is robbed If this
wheat should be sold by the purchaser at
fair price, to be made into flour, this,
too, would be a legitimate transaction and
supply would flow out to meet demand.
Instead of this the Spectator stores the
wheat in elevators where it can be held
for an indefinite period Thousands of
bushels of the crop of 1915 are still in
elevators and have been sold again and
again on future" deal To illustrate
one of the methods of dealing in 'fu-
lures" let us suppose that in March, for
ms ance, believing that wheat will be
Iov- in May, Mr.. A. sells 10000 bushels
at 90 per bushel to Mr. B., who be-
ieI e that wheat will be higher This
VII is to be delivered in May and no
mon Y is paid. 1t is a memorandum
transaction, Mr.. B sells the same wheat
to MI. c, for June delivery. Mr. c. sells
to Mr., D. for July delivery and so on
are all futures
When the time of delivery arrives, if
wheat is quoted at s., Is per bushel, Mr.. B.
wants his wheat or his profit of Is cents
Mr.. A. does not deliver the wheat He
pays Mr.. B. 25 cents bushel profit and
that ends it. If wheat is but Sl75 per
bushel Mr., B has no use for it. He pays
Mr.. A. 25 cents per bushel and in either
case the wheat remains in the elevator.
Supply is held back in the aggregate by
this and similar transactions and up go
prices, This is the way the game is opened
but there are as many variations after
the first moves as are in Single Corner"
the good old game of checkers Millions
of bushels are thus bought and sold every
year by men who never owned bushel
of real wheat in their lives
Dealing in cultures" is gambling. The
seller bets on lower prices, and the buyer
bets on higher prices. They take their
winnings and they pay their losses. The
gamblers are not worthy of consideration,
hut the consumers are worthy, not only
Of consideration but of protection. What
We have said of wheat is also true of corn,
oats, cotton and many other products. Of
late, prices have been forced upwards
mainly by this sort of speculation to such
Al unbearable extent that the public and
the press have called upon Congress to
put these INSCRIPTIONS men out of the
control of food products. Did Congress
DO anything? Yes, Congress talked.
Some Congressman said that the specu-
!ators were sharks. Others called them
skunks. Some said they ought to be
hung to lamp posts. This startled the
gamblers. They held conference and
promised to be good Then Congress be-
gan talking about something else In re-
cent market reports we notice quotations
Of prices of wheat and other products for
June, July and August. The old game
of futures is still going on Just the
same.

SCHOOL BOND ISSUE
CARRIES BY 1853
ADHERENTS VOTE ISSUE OF $4s,-
900 FOR BUILDING ADDITION TO
WHITE AND CoLoRED SCHOOLS.

The adherents of the plan to vote
a bond issue of $4,000 for the pur-
pose of making much-needed extern
sions and additions to the Paris High
School building in this city, scored a
handsome victory in the special cleo
ton held Saturday. The returns
showed a majority of 1,158 in favor
of the bond issue. Unless the vote
be declared invalid, as has been ru-
mored by some, il will insure the
school children of Paris more COM
Portable and sanitary quarters and
their removal from the dark base
ment in which they have been for
some months.
The women of the city took a
great deal of interest in the election.
and by personal appeals and by their
own presence at the voting places,
turned many an opponent to the sup
port of the measure. 1t was a decid-
ed victory for the friends of educa-
tion in this city. The vote by pre-
cincts was as follows
