Pennies by the Million
This created a vast overnight de-
mand for pennies to take care of this
increased penny circulation. The
minis worked night and day turning
out coppers by the millions. Nickels
and pennies get into circulation
through the Subtreasuries and banks
in the same manner as the silver
coinage.
The United States minis are mod
ern plants of the finest sort An in
teresting fact not generally known to
the public is that they do job work
and turn in a revenue to the govern
ment. Many small foreign nations do
not have their own minis, but do have
their own coinage An arrangement
is made by some of them whereby
they award a contract TO the United
States mint to manufacture coin fol
! them.
| A charge is made for this service
| by the American Government, and

turn revenue into the Federal Treas
ury. Coins are being made for many
governments, particularly Latin Amer

which coins pass into circulation Is
that constituted by the Federal Re-
serve banks. These have taken over
the duties and functions of the Sub
treasures. All silver coinage is in
the official custody of the Treasurer
of the United States. Any bank or
any individual who desires a supply
of silver may apply to the Treasurer.
He will direct the nearest Subtreasury
to meet the demand and the coin will
be furnished in exchange for such
lawful money in other forms as, the
customer presents. Banks and large
commercial establishments get this
silver coinage from the Federal Re-
serve banks in this way.

USE CENTERv|LLE'S
new STOCK YARDS

CENTERVILLE. Ind, May 25.-The
first carload OF stock to be shipped
from the new pens went out from the
Centerville cooperative shipping as
sociation Wednesday evening. Eight
shippers consigned stock one bringing
his in from as far as the Green's Fork
pike.
Shippers of hogs were Horatio
King, c. H. Robe, Charles Savage and
Ross Stevens, while C. H. Rohe, Bert
Rogers, Charles Speaker, Howard and
David Harris sent calves also.
Much interest is shown by mem.
bers in the operation of the new yards
just erected by popular subscription
of the members. Wednesdays ship
ment was the first to be sent by the
new method, but it is stated by the
manager, Ben Gaiser, that another
car may be shipped next week. More
regular shipments at shorter inter

time, are advantages claimed for the
use of the new yards.

Milo Winter Injured.

Milo Winter met with somewhat
serious accident Monday morning. After
milking, he returned to the barn to feed
grain before breakfast. As he was gone
an unusually long time Mrs. Willard
went to the door to call him. She re-
ceived no reply and went to the barn.
where she heard him grooming and found
him lying on the floor unconscious. She
succeeded in getting him into the house
and onto a couch. He was scratched and
considerably bruised about the face and
head. When able to talk he was asked
what had happened and replied, Moth
ing. He did not realize why he should
be lying there, and was only semi-con.
sciOus most of the day.
On Tuesday he was much improved
but had no recollection of the accident
1t is presumed that one of the cows
threw up her head suddenly after he fed
the grain, striking him with her horns
and the side of her head in way that
instantly stunned him. Some Of his
teeth were loosened by the blow or fall
Milo is ambitious and expects to be back
in school in q day or two.
