Ancient and Modern COINAGE.

Man first had an opportunity to call
"heads or tails 0 than 1900 years
ago, when the practice of stamping a
head on coins was instituted by the
Greeks, with the likeness Of Alexander
the Great. Some of these ancient
Greek coins are valuable as art OBJ
jects alone, the enclosing being of
rare workmanship and surprising any
thing to be seen on the coinage of
today. Ii Is naturally an example of
the great height which Greek culture
reached in that day. The III Of
civilization, in fact, can easily be
traced in these ancient coins. Roman
coinage, some of which bears the
head of Nero, is not equal in beauty
to that of the Greeks, but nevertheless
shows a high quality of art. But the
money of the succeeding Dark ages
is crude In the extreme, and even the
English 10-eent piece of 1000 A. ID.
is childishly primitive in comparison,

drew Boss, the veteran professor OF

..There have been arguments from
many sides for a reduction Of the corn
acreage. There is possibility that
the most effective argument has been
the low prices which have prevailed
during the last year. Probably corn
growing has been sufficiently discour-
aged. Full cribs and low prices speak
more emphatically than resolutions
