Two pillars In the Dollar Mark.

Two Pillars In the Dollar Mark.
While many have accepted the story
as true that the dollar sign, S, was
formed by Joining of the initials U.
S. into sort of monogram, 1t is quite
generally accepted that the dollar sign
Is Of Spanish origin.
Pillars in early times were used to
symbolic strength and stability. The
Tyrians, whose coinage was the earli-
est currency, placed on their coins
two pillars, symbolical Of the pillars
named Boaz and Jachin, which formed
part of King Solomon's temple. 1t
Is related that Tyrian explorer erect
ed two pillars on the site of the pres
ent city Of Cadiz in Spain and that
in later years Spain coined dollars
on which were these pillars entwined
with a scroll. The pillars and scroll
became emblematic Of the dollar and
came to be used by the United States
as dollar sign.-Cleveland News

Minnesota, on a Percentage Basis

Double the Total Of Farm
Products Of North Dakota.

Minneapolis-Co- market
ing in Minnesota has established a
national pace, J. H. Hay, deputy state
commissioner of agriculture, said,
with a record of having marketed
43.9 per cent of it's farm products CO.
operatively. No other state ap-
proaches that figure, he said.
On basis of value, Mr.. Hay said
he believed the total percentage of
farm products marketed comparatively
would exceed half, because butter and
dairy products are largely marketed
comparatively, but the statistics given
out by the federal and state govern
ments are in volume. Minnesota, on
a percentage basis, markets cooper
atively more than double the total of
farm products of North Dakota, where
there have been more intensified
drives against the old order of market
