Why Coins Are Struck.

struck instead of cast is that molten
metals contract on cooling. Thus
counterfeit coins, which are always
cast, show fatal variations In size,
which authentic shaped coins do not.
Secondly, ii is impossible to get the
same sharpness of delineatlon as In
stamping, and lastly when the stamp
ing machine is once set up the
process of striking coins is cheaper
and more rapid than that of casting
ever could be.

WILLING VICTIM or ERROR
Man Naturally Was Not Quick to Deny
Authorship of Novels in Popu-
lar Favor.

When George Eliot's Scenes of
Clerical Life" was first run in Black
woods Magazine, there was consider
able speculation as to the identity OF
the author concealed behind the pseu-
donym. The people of George Eliot's
old home town, Nuneaton, were espe-
cially wrought up, as they recognized
in tie characters of "Amos Barton" :"
MIR. Pilgrim and others depicted in
the papers unmistakable portraits of
well-known people of the neighbor-
hood.
Various local celebrities, with a Ut
erary bent, were under suspicion, and
a delegation of the visitors finally con-
cluded to consult a tabletipper said to
be making some remarkable reyela-
tions. Under the manpulations Of the
spirit rapper,' the table spelled out
the name of the unknown author as
"Liggers." There was no Liggers in
the town, but there was a "Liggins," a
hroken-down gentleman who had been
known to write pieces for theSpapers.
He was charged with the authorship of
the much-talked-of essays and did not
reject the honors thrust upon him.
When adam Bede' appeared and
took the critics by storm, Liggins
fame waxed greater than ever. He
was lionized by the townspeople, feted
at parties, and public subscription
was started for him. Then the real
George Eliot deemed it was time to in
terfere. and wrote "A letter to the Lon
don Times denying Liggins' author

THE FARM BUREAU A
PAYING INVESTMENT

Since there seems to be a decid-
ed lack of knowledge of what the
Haakon County Farm Bureau has
been doing and the expense of it,
the following information may be
of interest to some:
We received S7,1OO 90 during the
past year for the support of the
Farm Bureau. $500 Cess than
half) was appropriated by the CO.
unity, amounting to about 45 per
quarter section; $500 comes dir
oct from Washington and S2l0O
from the state. 1t this state and
national money is not used in this
county our taxes go to support
the work in other counties.
The work Of the Farm Bureau
during the last two years has been
largely confined to the following
projects: Denomination, Boys and
Girls Clubs, Animal Disease Pre-
vention, County and State FAIR.
Marketing, Crasshopper Control
and Crop Registration. From the
following Statistical report for the
two years anyone can figure out
whether it worth while.

BRIDGE PLANNED FOR
 DELA, RIVER
Preliminary w ork on Worlds Largest Suspen- sion Structure Expected to Begin Soon
United Press AssociatlonD

Philadelphia, Aug, 1.,The bridge which will cost $2s,sV.ooo' will have span of 1,75O feet. 15o feet longer than the Williamsburg bridge which is at present the largest. From approach to approach the bridge will stretch S.190 feet, more than a mile and a haR. It will be 125 feet wide in the center of the span and 135 feet above mean high tide.
 The bridge is of the two cable suspension type, each cable to be 31 inches in diameter, with 16,531 wires, 191 of an inch in diameter.
 The first work to be done will be the construction of caissons in the Delaware river bed. Several streets will have to be widened and many buildings torn down to make way for the bridge Engineers hope to have the bridge finished in 1925 or 1926. Opening exercises may be held at the Sesquicentennial cele- bration here in July, 1926.
 Ralph Modjeski, chairman of the board of engineers for the bridge declared the structure will be the best bridge in the world" Modjes- Xxi, who was born in Poland and is the son of the late Helena-Modjeski famous actress, is one of the fore most civil engineers in this coun- try.
 Inability of the present system of ferries to handle the tremendous traffic between Pennsylvania and New Jersey at this point made the bridge necessary. The state of Penn sylvania will furnish $S,273,5 of the bridge, New Jersey $12,324, ,000, while Philadelphia will furnish the same as Pennsylvania.

NEW RACE IS WANTED BY
 REPUBLIC
Government of Panama Sends immigration Agents to Czecho Slovakia, Aus tria, Italy and Spain.

Panama, Aug, 1,--The govern ment of Panama has sent special immigration agents to Czheco Slova- lSia, Austria, Italy, Spain, and the Canaries to induce farmers from those countries to come to Panama
 The government has begun the construction of two hundred miles of highways in the most fertile parts of the interior, and intends to fol- low with the idea of opening up the country. But after the roads are built (construction has been begun and the money is in hand to pay the bills) they will not De used un- less new inhabitants are brought into the country.
 The native Panama has his own farm and is living on it very con tentedly, under primitive conditions in most cases but conditions which are we'll adapted to the tropics and which suit him. He works little but lives we'll His surplus produce is such as can conveniently be carried to d seaport on mule back and he enjoys the weekly trip to the vil- lage.
 But such people cannot develop d country, because they are too busy enjoying life. The idea of the gov ernment is to induce immigration of experienced farmers from the south of Europe, who are also hard workers, assign them land, secure them in their title, and even assist them with implements and seed for the first few years.
 As white men these people will soon disappear, as white men are bound to do in the tropics, but their children will mix with the brown natives, and this mixture makes a strong race well adapted to the heat and bright light. This mixed race, known as morenos, is the strongest and best factor in Panama at the present time, and the government had in mind a far sseing policy of perpetuating it.
