New Size Paper Money to
Be Put Into Service
Will Be Issued in All Denomina-
tions From 90 Up to $1,000
Size Reduced

The new reduced size paper
money on which the government
has decided will be ready for is
sue July /, 1929. The denomina-
tons, ones, twos, fives, tens and
on up to the ten thousand dollar
aristocrat, will remain the same.
The size will be reduced from ap-
proximately 3 1-8 by 7 3-8 inches
to lilo by 6 5-16 inches.
Economy, convenience and pro-
lection against confusion and
counterfeiting are the chief adj
vantages anticipated from the new
paper money. The smaller bill will
save the government tons of costly
paper, and the fabric, strengthen
ed by new distribution of the silk
threads will have a higher folding
endurance and wear longer than
that used in the money now in cir
culation.
Five kinds of paper currency are
now issued: Silver certificates, gold
certificates, United States notes,
Federal Reserve notes and nation
al bank notes. The confusion aris-
ing from lack of uniformity in de.
sign may be best indicated by the
example of the existing five dollar
bill. If a United States note, il
may carry the portrait of Hamilton
or Jackson; if a certificate it may
be Lincoln or an Indian, if a treas.
ury note, it may be Thomas. NJ
connection between denomination
and design is maintained.
| The new currency, regardless Of
the kind or issue, will have one de-
sign for each denomination. "A five
dollar bill will have the picture Of
Lincoln on the face and the Lincolr
Memorial on the reverse side
whether it is a silver certificate Of
Federal Reserve note. Washing
toms portrait will be on the ont
dollar note. Jefferson on the So

Years Poultry Work
Reveals Good Gains

Poultry project work carried On
through the agricultural extension
service of the University of Mime
sofa reached 2,543 Minnesota flock
owners last year, as shown by the
annual report of Miss Cora Cooke,
poultry specialist. This wide con-
tract was accomplished through the
cooperation of 143 local : leaders
who carried the instruction to the
members in their respective COM
munities. There were 939 group
members.
The subject matter dealt with in
Guided culling, feeding for egg pro-
duction, housing, producing
healthy chicks, and chick rearing.
Information on these problems was
impaired, through lectures, demon
STATIONS, conferences, and printed
material. A new bulletin designed
particularly for this purpose was
prepared by Miss Cooke.
A new trapnesting project was
conducted in Mobiles county with
eight flock owners completing the
work. In these eight focks, 40
hens averaging 200 or more eggs
each were found, the highest num-
Der laid by any individual being
284.
Forty-nine cooperators in %
counties completed the years work
in the record flock project. The in
itial enrolment of 81 cooperators
in 81 counties was the largest
number of counties as we'll.
Miss Cookies report showed that
10 per cent more members and
5 per cent more communities COM
pleted poultry projects in 1928
than in 1927, while there were al
so marked increases in the per-
centages of members culling their
fiocks, improving their houses and
practices, and keeping egg records.

DIVORCES AND CHILDREN

Figures compiled by clerks of
the courts handling divorce cases
in Chicago show that there was a
large increase in domestic unhap-
piness during the year 1928. AL
though the compilation was made
a few days before the close of the
year, there were 401 more divorces
in the midwestern metropolis in
1928 than there were in 1927. A
total of 1921 divorce DEGREES was
issued in the IL months just draw
ing to close.
Possibly the most interesting
thing in connection with this dis
tressing story of marital infelicity
is the statement of the clerks that
85 per cent of the 1921 divorced
couples were childless. These fig
ures are furnished without COM
ment to those faddists who are
urging birth control as the means
of restoring a happy family life to
the nation.-Memphis Commercial

St. Augustine's Chair

The wonderful old chair Of st.
Augustine, in which the new arch
bishop of Canterbury sits on the
occasion of his enforcement, has
had a long history. Tradition as
serts that it was formerly the
throne on which the old kings Of
Kent were crowned, but it is gen.
orally agreed that it dates, at any
rate, from the commencement of the
Thirteenth century. 1t is composed
of three pieces Of Purbeck marble
in the design Of Roman state
chair, and stands in the chapel Of
the Corona in Canterbury cathedral.
Each archbishop Of Canterbury Is
enthroned in this chair, thus signi-
flying his assumption Of the pri-
macy Of England.

Proposed Lumber Tariff
Meeting Strong Opposition
Shortage of Supply in United
States Removes Necessity-to
Increase Consumer Price

President A. J. Olson, of the
Minnesota Farm Bureau Federal
ton, this week appealed to United
States Senators Henrik Shipstead
and Thomas D. Schan, of Mime
sofa, and to all Minnesota Con-
gressmen at Washington, D. c., to
present united opposition to a
proposed tariff on Canadian lum-
Der and shingles. This tariff, if
enacted into law, it is believed will
increase lumber and single prices
from So to 81 or more per thous-
and to the farmer consumer.
Investigation made during De
cember and January convinced
President Olson that the move for
a lumber and single tariff was the
opening gun in a well planned
campaign of certain Oregon and
Washington lumber interests to
saddle the farmer with this added
burden, and then trade upon, the
farmers predicament, developed
by seven years of unavoidable neg
lect of farm building maintenance
and construction due to agricul.
tural depression.
These West Coast lumber in
terests, it is reported, are con-
WINGED that the farmer, regardless
of his wishes, must during the
next five years engage in general
rehabilitation and construction OF
farm houses, barns, hog houses,
chicken houses, shed and fences.
In>the farmers need for recon
struction, these lumber interests
see opportunity to secure tariff
on Canadian lumber and shingles,
raise prices generally from So to
81 or SO per thousand feet, and
then sell hundreds of thousands of
acres Of Oregon and Washington
lumber stumpage at an increased
price per acre that will yield mil
lions of dollars of added profits.
The Minnesota farmer buys 46
per cent of all the lumber and 70
per cent Of all the shingles sold in
the state. He is the largest indi-
vidual consumer Of lumber and
shingles in Minnesota. He is the
man that will pay the bill, if the
lumber interests succeed in their
endeavor to get this tariff on the
federal statute books.

Old Elephants

A traveller says that an elephant

If any considerable number Of them
hurl themselves from cliffs in this
manner. 1t appears to be true,
however, that the herds of wild ele-
plants have their own natural GEM
eteries in the swamps or jungles, to
which the old and weak crawl to
die. Some Of these places are
known to the natives Of Africa and
are valuable sources Of ivory.

Glenwood Game Resume

In the write up of the Sank Gen.
tre-Glenwood game in the Herald
of last week some of the followers
of basket ball have expressed the
opinion that the writed used For
ward Ed Kells, of the home team, a
bit rough. That was the farthest
from our thought. In practically
every game prior to the Glenwood
game Ed has been high scorer for
the Sank Centre quint. He was
a trifle off color in this game. It
is not an unusual thing for ath-
letes to go stale for a short time.
In referring to the field goal made
by the young man the Herald said
ED Kells, usually one of the teams
high scorers slipping made his only
field goal in a beauty" On check
ing up we find the copy was pre-
pared in this manner: ED Kells
usually one Of the teams high
scorers, made his only field goal
slipping in beauty"
The Herald is always very
friendly to all the activities of the
schools, particularly in athletics.
The Herald editor has been amazed
at the basket ball efficiency, STAN
ina and speed developed by this
years team, particularly Ed. Kells,
and he has received considerable
individual praise. The story OF
the Glenwood game was an attempt
to point out the strength and weak
ness of Sank Centres plays in that
particular contest. In this game
the development of fluffy" Cliff
amazed the entire audience. This
was his decidedly peak game to
date. Steady and efficient play t.
so usual by Kells, O'Gara, Miller
and Lewis, that when one of them
has an "off" night it is shock.
The Herald is confident that tn,
entire team will be on edge for the
tournament. If they are, they will
be trouble for any of the seven
teams pitted against them.

"Penny" Is Unofficial

The term penny" has been In
general use in this country since
the Revolutionary war, but it has
never been the official designation
Of any coin minted in the United
States. It is and has been a rec
ognized coin of Great Britain and
the coinage of England was used
In this country for number of
years after the Revolution, and the
use Of the term became an estab-
lished custom at that time and the
name became applied to the cent
as It was about the same value.
The first cents actually minted un-
der the Constitution appeared In
1893.

Total miles 1862 $3.50
During the year 1928 there were
704 miles of state aid roads grad
ed, LOO miles gravel surfaced
and "A new bridges built in the sys-
tenn. Total expenditures for con-
struction were $3,710,110, of
which the state contributed ST.
491.527. Expenditures for main
tenance up to Nov. l were $2,291,-
1873, of which $643,241 came from
the state aid fund. i.
During the year 1927 there were
SO miles graded. 1908 miles
gravel surfaced and 40 new bridges
built on the state aid roads. Total
expenditures for construction on
the state aid system in 1927 were
$4,250,136, of which the state
contributed $1,165,589. Total
maintenance expenditures in 1927
were $2,713,796, of which $780,
Alb came from the state aid fund.
A report made recently by Mr..
Babcock on the trunk highway sys-
tenn shows 1923 miles paved, 521
miles bituminous treated, Att
miles graveled and 281 miles sand
clay surfaced.
While the Highway department
does not receive annual reports on
the county and town roads, reports
collected by the U. s. Bureau of
Public Roads showed that the coun-
ty roads outside the state aid
system had 1922 sand-clay surfac.
ed, 4,2O3 miles grave1ed and 60
miles paved, while 4,025 miles OF
town roads are sand-clay surfaced
and 1888 miles graveled.
Taking the four classes of roads
together, Minnesota now has 1,157
miles paved, 631 macadam or hi.
luminous treated gravel, 1928
miles of gravel and 1922 miles
sand-clay surfaced, or a total OF
1889 miles surfaced. When the
state took over the trunk highways
in 1921, there were. only $4,000
miles of surfaced roads in the state.
The state taking over the trunk
highways made it possible to de-
vote all other road funds to the
secondary and local roads and there
has been general improvement in
all classes of roads. In proportion
to the traffic they carry, many OF
the secondary roads are in better
condition than the average trunk
highway.
