ton works, such as always must De

QUEER MONEY IN MEXICO.

For some years past Mexico has
been extensively engaged in the agree
able pastime of making money. More
than $4,000, 600, 600 worth of engraved
certificates have been issued since the
revolutionary troubles set in The
notes are given the curious name
"billembiques, which is only Mexi-
can effort to pronounce the American
name, william Weeks"
This William Weeks was once a
paymaster who used to give orders to
the poems for small sums to carry
them along until next they aligned
themselves before the cashiers win
dow. The local merchants would ac-
cept the notes with the signature of
the accommodating paymaster as good
currency, and they were named bill
lembiques." BY simple transition
the term came to be applied TO the
revolutionary paper currency.
First, it is said, Carranza manu-
featured paper currency to the
nominal value of 100000 pesos,
and those bills were accepted for a
time at about three quarters of the
value of silver peso. Then Villa

ECONOMY VERSUS PROFITEERS


There seems to be but one quick
fire method of bringing down prices
of clothing. That is to quit buying
so long as articles on hand can be
made to serve. When the supply in
hands of makers and wholesalers be-
comes overstock, profiteers will cut
down eXtortionate prices and retail
ers will be enabled to sell for less
than at present.
In the days of poverty following
the Civil war people, especially in the
south, 'lived poor" Even the lawyers
and the doctors sons wore the cut
down trousers of the dad, and the
mother was the remodeler.
Nowadays the small off spring of a
manual laborer is taken to a store
and supplied with suit costing as
much as a months wage of a few
decades ago The discarded clothing,
rarely worn badly, is thrown away or
goes to the thrifty foreigner who re-
novates, sells to "down-and outs who
can beg a dollar or two to pay for gar
ments so handled.
In stores on side streets in towns
and cities one sees hundreds of suits
with substantial value, looking aimos'
as well as garments in the better
stores, bought from unthrifty families
for about the price of a dinner at
cafe, and offered for sale at cheaf
figures. Many Of such suits came
from the homes of people who should
have utilized them.

that the Indians had searched the hills

was marked by a rock with turkey
