ORIGIN OF THE DOLLAR

1t was in 1892 that the congress of the
United States authorized the establish
ment of a mint in Philadelphia. The
Spanish dollar had been common in Amer
ica for years and when Governor Morris
attempted to harmonize all the moneys of
the states he took the dollar as a standard.
Some sample dollars were exhibited in
congress. The plans of Morris were later
amended by Jefferson who proposed to
strike four coins upon the basis of the
Spanish milled dollar-a gold piece of
the value of $40, dollar in silver, tenth
of dollar in silver, and hundredth of
a dollar in copper.
While America borrowed the dollar
from Spain, its origin was really German,
the word "dollar" being the English form
of the German "thaler." 1t was just four
centuries ago that Count Schlick of Bohe-
mia began to issue silver coins weighing
an ounce each. These were minted at
Joachimsthal, in Bohemia, and thus be-
came known as Joachimsthaler, later
shortened to thalers. In the sixteenth CEN
tury, through trade with the Dutch, these
coins became common in England, where
they were known as "dalers" or dollars"

A TREATY OF PEACE WHICH
WAS KEPT.

The following quaint document is a
treaty of peace signed in March, 1921, be-
tween the English settlers and the Indian
braves, at Plymouth, Mass.
The treaty was drawn up in week,
and, the record reveals, the Indians took
an important part in drawing up the
covenant. Massasoyt "signed" the docu-
ment on behalf of the rest of his nation,
and is the che" referred to in the six
clauses. The white men are referred to
in the plural form.
81. That neither he nor any of his,
should injure or doe hurte to any of the
peopl.
SO. That if any of his did any hurte to
any of theirs, he should send the offender,
that they might punish him.
"3. That if anything were taken away
from any of theirs, he should cause it to
be restored; and they should aide them.
IS. He should send to his neighbors con-
federate, to certife them of this, that they
might not wrong them, but might be like
wise comprised in the conditions of peace.
IS. That when their men came to them,
they should leave their bows and arrows
behind them"
This treaty was kept for fifty years
without any amendment.-Ex.

LOVING KEEPS THE HEART LIGHT

Our world is world of smiles and tears,
Checkered with joy and woe,
Laughter, and frowns, and hopes, and
fears,
Ever in gloom or glow;
But there's shining secret
That everyone may share
'Tis loving keeps the heart light,
And makes it laugh at care.
Our world is a world where all must
Weary, or sad, or worn,
For the idler gay and the smiling shirk
Ever there's only scorn;
But there's magic secret
That wintry lives may learn
'Tis loving keeps the heart light,
And makes the spring return.
Our world is world where the helpers
Is the road to happiness,
And the task of Tightening neighbor's
load
Will make our own load less;
And oh, the golden secret
That every heart may know
'Tis- loving keeps the heart light,
And makes heaven below

ANGLO-IRISH TUNNEL.

Not only is it thought that the long,
talked-of tunnel between England and
France will be constructed at no remote
date, but there is also talk of tunnel be-
tween England and Ireland. This would
restore to slight extent the geographical
union that existed between the two coun-
tries in one geological age thousands and
thousands of years ago. Great Britain
and Ireland were then separated only by
great valley.
1t is proposed to carry the tunnel from
some point on the coast of Lancashire to the
nearest point in Antrim or down on the
Irish coast, a submarine length of "a
miles. One of the great benefits of the
tunnel would be that it would shorten the
trans atlantic journey by at least 4S hours.
1t would also help the Irish cattle trade
and the shipping of perishable goods,
especially fish, to English markets. Esti-.
mates of the cost of the proposed tunnel
vary from $35,OOO,O0O to $4,000, ,OOO.-Ex.

THE END OF THE TRAIL

If live life that is clean and square
And aid my fellow man
By lending hand to help him bear
His burdens the best that can,
need not fear what its close may be,
Nor how critics my life shall assail,
Nor what the future holds out for me
When l reach the end of the trail
If l speak word of good cheer to one
Whose sorrows have broken him down,
And thus give him hope to struggle on
With smile instead of frown,
I shall not fear when the shadows fall
And my earthly strength shall fail;
I'll trust in Him, who redeemed us all,
When reach the end of the trail.
If part of my little freely give
To help those who faint by the way,
Or even pure water, so thirsty ones live
Not thinking what will be my pay,
Whether 1 live in house by the side of
the road,
By mountain, by river, or vale,
I'm willing to reap the seed that I've
sowed,
When I reach the end of the trail.

DAD M ME

A youngsters mighty lucky
If he's got fshin' dad;
The fun used to have with mine
Was the best ever had,
When the sundown called the music
From the bullfrog's husky throat
And we were trollin' pick'rel
In an old, hat-bottom'd boat.
We always used handline
With a whirlin, silver spoon,
And we both took turns at rowin'
Till the risin, summer moon
Her warnin' of the nightfall
With her silver pencil wrote,
And we'd quit trollin' pick'rel
In an old, hat-bottom'd boat.
In the dusk of early ev'nin'
Fish'll strike shinin' bait.
Droppin' softly down slow water
We would lure 'em to their fate,
Pilin' up feast for breakfast
Worth twenty-dollar note
BY just a-trollin' pick'rel
In an old, Aat-bottom'd boat.

tractiVe.

In the belief that a majority Of
people would prefer 10 walt on
themselves, do their own delivering
and make their own selections if il
results in an actual saving OF money,
a new self-service grocery. known as
the U-Save-It Store. has been opened
at 236 y Main ST, by A. Steinberg
in the same location formerly occu-
pied by Steinberg's Thrift Grocery.
The new/store is one Of a gigantic
organiza ton OF 5000 retailers scat
tered throughout the country. This
organization makes possible cheaper
wholesale buying through quantity
purchasing and IN most instances re-
suits in buying direct from the man
ufacturer thus saving the profit Of
the middleman.
A new idea in decoration has been
carried out in the U-Save-It store,
the front being a checkerboard eff
feet in red and black. This is the
sign Of a U-Save-It store anywhere
and has been patented and NATIONAL
" adopted A complete line of good
nationally known products are car
ried and the goods are grouped and
so arranged on shelves that self
service is considerably simplihed.

PROLONGED TREATY
ALLIANCE ONE YEAR
Rr Associated Press |:

LONDON. July 13.-Great Britain
and Japan have notified the league
OF nations that they have prolonged
their treaty alliance for a year, &C
cording TO the Daily Mail. at the
same time posting out that the
terms OF the treaty are in accord
with the principles Of the league.
The reason for the prOlongation
of the treaty, according 10 the Mail,
is that Great Britain has not yet had
an opportunity 70 consult with the
dominions regarding a revision OF
the treaty, which is necessitGted by
the elimination OF German influence
in the far east. y
Negotiations for a prolongation OF
the alliance between Great Britain
and Jal An have been in progress
for some time. Dispatches have as
serted that l. was planned by the
two nations 70 revise the alliance in
order 10 make IL conform with the
provisions OF the league Of nations.
Considera bic opposition 10 the max
ing OF the treaty has been expressed
by the Austria lasian newspapers, and
likewise in China feeling against i
has been somewhat strong. The
Chinese government protested
against a renewal OF the compact
without china being consulted.
