are Judge r. H. Thompson of Jack

The directors, in addition to the Of

will be no fees or other con-
necte with membership. The Off
GERS are proceeding on the idea that
there is no time lik ethe present for
the creation of an active patriotic
association having for its purpose the
honor of our gallant soldiers now en-
listed, or yet to enlist in the service
of their country. The secretary of
the association will at once begin the
preparation of a special honor roll
of Mississippi soldiers who have given
their lives for their country. If
the parents of these young patriots
will send photographs and short
sketches of their sons who have died
in the service it will greatly assist in
the preparation of the roll.
The oranization of The Great War
Veteran Association of Mississippi is
the Inauguration of a movement
which will be followed by every state
IN the Union, in order that a Nation
al organization may be affected after
the war. The Great War will al
ways be the one outstanding, all-im-
portant events in the worlds history.
The preservation of historical ma
terlal for the use of the historian of
the present and of those of future
generations is of supreme import
ance. The state of Mississippi has
an organized agency in the Depart
ment Of Archives and History to or
ganize an association and will enlist
popular interest and support. The
organizers of the movement will be
most appreciative of the active inter-
est and support of all the peaple of
Mississippi. All communication
should be addressed to DR.. Dunbar.

The American Penny.

THE aggregate of the cent pieces
= coined by the United States mint
from the time of it's opening up to the
last fiscal year amounted to nearly
$35,000,000. The tide in the coinage of
this little piece of money has been
steadily rising during recent years. and
in 1918 the number turned out by the
mints was 445.22S.201, against 213,-
100000 in 1917 and against an average
annual output Between the years 1907
and 1916 of approximately 100000
pieces.
The statistician of the National City
beneath his dignity to daily with the
subject Of the coinage of cents, and he
has said that the country's demand for
this minor" coin is now the greatest
number of cent pieces. or as we COM
monty call them. pennies" Is sur
prisingly small when compared with the
population. This statistician says that
the one-cent pieces coined from the be-
gmnng Of the to oa date
culation, allow about thirty-three for
each individual. The number actually
available Is far less. Probably not
more than about 2,4O0,000,0O0 are In ex-
1SleuCc, VI Ut least Ill ClTCuldIlOli, Hldh-
ing the present average per capita for
all the people of the United States
about twenty-three one-cent pieces.
AS soon as the United States mint
began to operate it turned out one-cent
pieces, turning out out half-cent pieces
at the same time. The first statistics
available on this subject, 1793-1795.
show that during that period the num-
Der of one-cent pieces coined was
1,066,033, and the number of half cents
1i2,524. The half cent was a popular
coin because some things were sold for
half a cent, and a great volume of
produce was sold for 6h cents and
1913 cents pound or yard. From
1904 to 1910 the number of cents and
half cents coined was about equal.
Until 1855 the number of one-cent
pieces produced by the minis averaged
about 100000 year, and there was
a big increase in the number from that
time until the close of the civil war.
In 1860 the number coined was 2O,OOO,-
900, and in 1864 the number was 3d.
100000. After the civil war the COIN
age Of cents declined, less than 6,000,-
600 being produced in 1870. Then the
tide of coinage turned again, and in
1880 100000 cents came from the
mints; in 1890, 47,000,000; in 1900,
$1,000, 900, and in 1906, $4,000 900, the
the hundred-million mark being crossed
in 1907. The American penny" is
now of bronze. AT first it was made
OF copper, and for short brief time
nickel cent pieces were coined.
