DEMAND FOR A NEW COIN.

If congress reaches adjournment without
adding a new piece to the coinage of the United
States it will be matter of surprise, inasmuch
as il has various bills before it for mintage of
hitherto unheard-of coins running from two
and one-half cents to twelve and one half cents
in value to say nothing Of measures resumingi
the mintage of two and three-cent pieces. The
number of these bills indicates q demand for
rev coins and some one Of them may be author
lied.
One of the recent bills has been introduced
nv Senator Smith, Of Michigan, which orders
the resumption of the coinage of two-cent
pieces and in some ways this seems likely to
meet less opposition than the others. For one
thing its size is such that it is not likely to be
mistaken for any other coin; and for another,
the purchasing power of the cent has dropped
to the vanishing point near that. The two
cent, coin is no more difficult to handle than the
Icentswhich our Canadian neighbors use, having
iiust about the same weight and area, We car
Imagine that it would now be greeted with
some enthusiasm.
The objection to the coin seems to be that thu
existing mechanical appliances for counting
coins are not adjusted to this or any other ne7
spiece To this the answer is that human inger
niitv undoubtedly could compass the adjustmen
of the machine and, further, that a good shar

GARFIELD SUSPENDS HEATLESS
MONDAY ORDER

Washington, February 13-Suspen-
sion of the Heatless Monday program
was announced today by Fuel Admin
istrator Garfield with the reservation
that 1t may be put back into force be-
fore the ten week period expires If a
return of bad weather brings anoth-
er breakdown in railroad transporta-
tons.
At the same time DR.. Garfield gave
state Fuel Administrators full author
ity to continue the closing order in
territory under their jurisdiction If In
their opinion circumstances demand
it. Aside from New England, 1t was
said, there was little probability that
it would remain in force any where.
In the New England states the pro-
gram may be carried through to
March rs, the date originally set.
The Heatless Monday program was
decreed by the Fuel Administration
on January II and four have been OBJ
served in all states East of the Miss
issippi except those South Of Vir-
ginia. The order was enforced in the
South on three Mondays, but was lift
ed there last week.

Mr.. L, T. Anderson, visitor OF the
evening, was called on for his sug-
gestions and he said that he believed
that Maysville should rise TO the OPP
portunity that was presenting itself TO
re-establish Court day stock sales.
He said q committee should, be APP
pointed to get in touch with every
trader, dealer and raiser In all OF the
adjoining counties and bring them to-
gether on Court day. He Is a great
believer in the value Of publicity and
urges the committee to not be too
economical In the purchase Of public
ity; to exercise wisdom In the pur-
chase OF space and In preparing the
copy. He believes that the stock sales
must be greatly advertised II the de-
sired success is to be attained. He
spoke of the adaptability Of Mt. OIL
vet and some of the other counties to
hold these sales, also the inadapt-
ability Of Mason county and the need
for a greater effort to Offset this con-
dition.
Chairman Brown Of the Stock Sales
Division expressed his belief In the
need of closer cooperation between
the merchants Of the community to
put the stock sales proposition across.
He believes they can be made a sue
cess and that he Is going to do all in
his power to assist in the work.
Mayor Russell expressed his desire
of seeing the stock sales re-establish-
ed and stated that he was willing to
lend all the assistance he could, in
the endeavor to make Mason County
Court day an enjoyable and profit
able event.
