The Cent Comes Back.

Our smallest coin, the cent, is en-
crging from the low position in public
esteem which it has occupied for many
years, says the Pittsburgh Gazette
Times. Under the operation of the
new revenue law it will achieve the
favor which it deserves at the hands
of thrifty people. Prosperity brought
the copper coin into contempt. Now
that we are to cut out extravaganza
and waste, the cent will be respected
like every other necessity. One may
not care to burden himself with O
fistful Of the erstwhile despised near.
money" but we are entering upon an
era of odd prices which makes the
one-cent piece essential to the COM
monest transactions of the day. The
prosperous may escape the annoyance
of over-many coppers by buying such
quantities they can. make payments in
multiples of nickels and dimes, but
even that resource may fail them. The
public will soon look askance upon the
citizen who buys more than enough
for immediate needs. "Hoarders" are
not in favor, thanks to the warnings
issued by the food and other admin
istrators of necessities. So the peo-
pie generally may as well make up
their minds to carry pennies" and
make and receive odd change when
ever they buy.

his sons home was entertained by his
daughter-in-law with music on the

old religious music, the daughter-in-

aAmerIcans Have Brains"

Col. T. H. Goodwin Of the Royal Ar
my Medicine corps of England, told
physicians in the training camp at Ft.
Benjamin Harrison, Indiana, that the
Germans fear the effects of the entry
Of America in the war.
"a German captain who had been
captured was asked what he thought
about our much-prized shell fire." said
Colonel Goodwin.
: "'Your artillery is no better than
ours the German replied.
"Surely you will admit we excel in
aviation" we told him.
"'No,' the German replied, you are
not better than us anywhere
"Finally we asked him what he
thought about America entering the
war, and he answered:
"That is different-we've got some
brains to fight now.'"
