NEW COINS TO BE POPULAR

There are bills before the senate
calling for the coinage of ., and
cent pieces. The coins are 10 be
made Of nickel alloy, and hence will
not be cumbersome like the ancient
copper coins. The bin calling for
the 2-cent pieces is backed by the
Roosevelt Memorial Association, and
includes the provision that like
ness ~ Roosevelt shall appear upon
one side of the coin. Further design
ing is still To be decided upon. The
2-cent issue has been reported IA
vorably, and the others, now before
the committee on banking and sur
rency will probably be approved.
Merchants and amusement con
Germs that felt the need Of some
more efficient method Of collecting
small war taxes and odd prices are
strong hackers ~ the bills. but the
public generally will also be glad OF
the new coinage. There are never
pennies enough 10 80 around, aud
the constant making Of small change
is an unmitigated nuisance. There
has been need for long time Of
more flexible coinage. Prompt afr
native action on the bills will re-
ceive public communication.

DIckINSON,S REAL ZANE

Just now there are more wildcat
wells being sunk in Dickinson coun
~ than In any other county in the
country. But Dickinson county
while being much discussed because
thereof does not owe its real fame
to that. A few years ago a man
named Nissley conceived the idea Of
dairy enterprise for that county
His dreams came true and the dairy
cows were provided. Today Dickin-
son county Is the most prosperous in
the state and today the dairy bust
ness is still going strong.
1t pays to raise dairy cows. There
is much work connected with it but
the small farmer can work hard for
a short time and then buy mixer
That takes the big end Of the work

CUBA HAS PLENTY

A Boston real estate dealer, after
his family had used molasses on
their cereal for about week, for
lack of sugar, recently drove IN his
automobile to store after store in
four or five cities and towns, finally
bringing up at a large store in Bos-
ton, but not a spoonful of sugar could
he buy. Arriving at his office, he re
ceived a telephone call from client,
who, in the course of conversation
said that she had just received from
her son. a civil engineer in Cuba, "A
letter in which he wrote: why, in
the name of reason, does not the
United States take away this sugar?
The wharves are SO loaded down with

PENSIONS

Interest In the army bonus has di-
verified interest from pension mea-
sure which ordinarily would have at
tracted much attention. A bill has
passed both houses of congress, in
creasing the pensions of Civil WaI
veterans to $50 a month and of vet
Grams widows to $50 month. The
present average pension of veterans
is $3.50 a month. and Of widows
$25. The increase, made to meet
the cost OF living. will add about
500, 900, 900 to the pension roll, maxi
ing an appropriation for that pur-
pose OF SEA, 100000, the largest in
the nation's liberal pension history.
who would have prophesied such
a situation in the years Immediately
following the Civil War?
An effort has been made to avoid
this pension system in providing for
the men who fought in the German
war. The compensation and insur-
ance plans are designed for that pur-
pose. II was supposed, when they
were adopted, that the latest vet
Grams" were cared for once and for
all. Yet already we are on the verge
of 'bonus" aggregating from ST.
600, OO0. 900 to $4,000, 100000. This
bonus is put forward as a definite
and final settlement of all public OBJ
legations to the veterans that are not
otherwise met But who knows?
Fifty years hence, will congress
be voting, for the benefit of these
same service men, the biggest relief
appropriation in American history?

HOSPITAL is FOR ALL

Some indignation was expressed
by jewellers outside Of the city of
Akron. o., because hackers of a big
new hospital to be situated in Akron
urged county bond issue to help
finance the project Some of the
reasons advanced for making the
hospital county matter rather than
strictly local are worth consideration.
one advocate of the county bond is
she says:
MANY people unacquainted with
nobody is ever sick in the country
statistics believe that nobody Is
ever sick in the country, because
of the fresh air and good ex-
ercise on the farm. This is al
wrong. Physical defects flourish in
the country as in the city. 1t is a
great mistake to have rule of good
health service for the city and poor
health service for the farming dis
trict. The county is far more logl-
cal unit for public health work than
the city
What we want to do is to sell
the idea Of public health to all the
people Of this county so that they
will never forget it,
Statistics gathered from draft re-
ports showed far lower percentage
of fitness among farm boys than
among city boys. There is ample
authority for the statement that the
standard of health in the country is
lower than in town, in every section
of the country.
1t is to the advantage of people
in any rural community to have ac-
cess to the services Of a great mod.
ern hospital; and the town with IT.
public Improvements, its better rail
road service and it's main Travelled
roads leading up from all directions is
the logical place for such an institu-
ton. The rural community which
balks at doing its share in financing
an institution that can render it in
estimable service both as a hospital
and a center for public health in
stuction would seem to be in need Of
further education.

GETTING OUT OF BALANCE.

The unequal balance maintained be-
tween the production and consumption
of our country spells ruin, and n very
immediate ruin, writes IA man who is
considered an authority on economic
conditions. Our vigilance has relaxed
with the end of the war, and we are
returning to our former extravaganza,
unmindful of the added financial bur-
den. Our output is not what it was,
and the cost of production, swollen by
high wages, is prohibitively great. This
is true Of every business and every
commodity. Then, too, we are still
harboring many drones at n time when
the country demands the support of
every labOrer. If we are MOI to come
to grief as a nation we must have as
our slogan, More Production; Less
Consumption" and we must work con
stantly to carry it nut.
