Japan ISSUES NEW CURRENCY
Fractional Amounts In Paper Money,
Relieving a Great Need, Now
In Circulation.

Two recent steps taken by the jap
anese government Illustrate the diff
culties attendant upon the use of sub
sidiary coin whose metal value is com
paratively close to its mint value,
states Commerce Reports. Announce
ment was made recently that paper
fractional currency would be issued to
the amount of 30,000,000 yen (S14,940,-
0O0). Early In November portion Of
this issue was put in circulation. The
new notes are exchangeable for regular
bank notes and are legal tender up to
ten yen ($49S).
More recently thc Japanese govern
ment has announced three prizes Of
1000 yen, 500 yen and 800 yen for the
best designs submitted for new silver
50-sen piece (24.9 cents). The new coin
Is to be materially smaller than the
one now In circulation.
The present 50-scn piece is so per
cent pure and weighs 81 momme
(03255 ounce troy). The coin, there
fore, contains 0.260i ounce of pure sill
yer and 0.0651 ounce Of copper. At par
the money value of the coin Is 24.925
cents. This corresponds to 95.7 cents
per ounce troy If the value of the cop
per is disregarded.
For considerable period the excess
of the bullion value over the mint
value made 1t profitable to melt Jap
anese subsidiary coin or ship 1t to
China. The country, as consequence
became denuded of small change, and
1t was and Is extremely difficult to get
money changed except through money
changers at comparatively high rates.
1t was no unusual thing to pay ten sen,
or even more, to change a fve-yen
note; and In that case the buyer would
receive four one-yen notes and only
the fraction less than yen in subsid-
iary ctin.

GROVER HIGH SCHOOL
WINS EATON GAME

The High School basket ball team
went all the way to Eaton last Sat
urday evening to play off the tic be-
tween the teams. They went with
the intention of bringing home the
scalps Of the Grover lads, but some
how that intention slipped through
their fingers between $500 and $50
p. m, or during the first half Of the
game on the Eaton floor.
1t was a sad but glorious day, or
rather half hour. and when it closed
II was disconsolate set Of players
that sought the bath room, and a
sorrowful bunch of rooters that had
gone from Raymer.
The score at the end of the first
half was:
Grover 8; Raymer a lonesome /.
However, the boys came back in
a way that surprised their oppo-
nents and delighted their friends,
and started to oyertake their antag-
onists, but the lead was too strong
and the time too short; but they did
cut down the lead and scored for
the last haf as follows.
Grover, S; Raymer 81, making the
total for the game stand:
Grover, II; Raymer 10.
The boys are wishing they could
have another chance at them. but
that is not to be this year.
The Eaton crowd certainly did the
handsome thing by the boys, their
students dividing into two groups
and roofing with fervor for the re-
spectve teams.

BIG ROAD BUILDING
THIS COMING YEAR
The Improvement of North and
South State Highway Expected to
Accommodate the New Raymer
Country and Morgan County.

Country and Morgan County.
The road equipment recently pur-
chased by Morgan county arrived
this week and the authoities are
waiting the arrival of a representa-
tive OF the company before making
a try-out of the machinery. The
equipment includes 75-horse power
caterpillar and No. 10 Western
grader. The capacity of the outfl.
is about double that of anything the
county has had heretofore.
Supervisor White in speaking OF
the equipment stated that it was
guaranteed unconditionally to the
county for any road work the county
wanted to do. He regards 1t as a
fine layout in road machinery anc
will enable the county to take up a
big campaign of road building this
year.
One of the pieces Of highway that
is TO receive early attention is the
north and south road to New Ray
mer This plan will hitch in with
the enterprise of the people OF the
east end of Weld county for the
building of state highway that
will run from Bushnell, Nebr.. thru
New Raymer and Fort Morgan to
Denver.
There is lot Of territory north Of
Fort Morgan that is tributary to the
county seat and all that is required
is well improved highway. Such q
highway would link up the New Ray
mer section with Fort Morgan very
closely. The state highway rs pro-
posed would make another route for
Denver tourists too would divert traf-
flc going by way of Cheyenne to the
capital city The distance by way
of Fort Morgan is less and Morgan
county would benefit by the improve
ment.
Two of New Raymer's citizens
were in Fort Morgan Tuesday In the
interest Of the improved highway T..
G. Ingraham. president of the com
mercial club. and j. II. Beson, a good
roads booster, consulted with local
citizens relative to the effort their
people are making to make this a
north and south state highway They
stated that they had a good deal of
support and that Greeley was back
OF them in their enterprise.
The road improvement in Morgan
county will be further pushed this
year, according to Supervisor White.
II is planned to make about 100 miles
Of highway, Every village and town
of the county is Included in a plan TO
make a good system. of roads that will
give the people first class highway
link with the main highways.
Morgan county has about 1900
miles OF decided roads. With the
main highways we'll improved and
every thiekly settled community in
easy access OF the main roads the
highway system of the county VIII
be in good shape. The new road
outfit will be appropriated for high
way work at once. Supervisor White
says he expects to couple on the grad
ing outfit the county has been using
and will use the two outfits IN tan
dem fashion which will admit of
good progress in the work - Fort
Morgan Times.

The harp is doubtless one of the old

musician to the King. the soothing
tones Of his harp being the only thing
that would quiet the old King when
In anger. From that day to this, the
instrument has undergone many
changes. Beginning with u crude In
strument of only few strings, 1t has
developed into the modern concert
harp Of forty-fve strings and seven
pedals, which permit of twenty-one
pedal actions, and make 1t possible to
produce six distinct tones on each
string. The great cost of such a harp
together with the fact that It Is q
difficult instrument to master, has not
crowded the field Of real performers.
Miss McAdoo, Of the Lillian Rings
dorf Concert Company, stands pre-em-
inent In her profession, and is a harp
list Of rare ability. Her programs are
varied and interesting, and given as
only a true musician can. She will
play some solos composed especially
for the harp, and re-arrangements Of
music well known on other instru-
ments, and will also appear In duets
and trios with the soprano and violin
list. She will further by way of va
riety, give some very pleasing harpo-
1iies.

1t is surely getting monotonous,

numerous contests with Grover ath-
lets ii we thought We could get away
with it. but there's the rub. II we
lied an got caught, the last state Of
that liar would be worse than the
first.

back three defeats.

Make This Test For
Acid Stomach

There are millions of people who
suffer almost daily from the horrors
of an acid-stomach-indig sour,
gassy, stomach; distressing heartburn I;
sickening food-reTeating; painful
bloat and that miserable, pulled up,
lumpy feeling after eating. Many Of
these people have tried treatment after
treatment; medicine after medicine |;
others have gone to doctors and stom-
ach specialists and some to hospitals,
but In spite Of all of their efforts they
have obtained no lasting relief or
permanent cure.
These symptoms simply mean acid
stomach. If allowed to run on, they
are very likely to cause a lot of seri-
Gus trouble. Dyspepsia, rheumatism,
govt. lumbago, sciatica, splitting head
ache, dizzy spells, nervousness, Sleep
lessness, mental depression, melan-
cholia, feeling of listlessness and
ail-goneness-these are just few Of
the disorders which can be traced to
acid-stomach. AS a matter of fact,
acid-stOmach is often the direct cause
Of those almost incurable conditions
known as catarrh of the stomach, in
festival ulcer, and cancer of the stOm-
ach. The lives of those who suffer
from these serious troubles are moth
ing short Of daily agony. Surely,
! then, you must see how important it
8 to go at once to the seat of the
trouble - acid-stomach. You know
