Origin Of Phrase, Not
Worth A Continental
DANk FOLDER TELLS HOW THIS
COMMON PHRASE
ORIGINATED

How haziness and misconception
always have surrounded the subject of
money is strikingly illustrated in the
history of the development Of paper
.urency, as outlined in the current
older in the series on "Money and
Civilization" being issued by the
Narmers and Merchants State Bank.
)nly a century or two ago, the
attest folder shows, it seemed the
asiest thing in the world to pay a
governments debts by setting the
printing presses to work.
Private enterprises copied the
ulers of nations, and banks, land
'ompanies and other organizations
ssued money Of their own against a
redit that, for the most part, was
0urely imaginary. At the time of
e Revolution our own paper money
a practically worthless. 1t was
hen that the phrase "Not worth a
Continental" originated. inevitably
he crash came and fortunes were
wiped out, and still the heresy per-
ieted. Within the past ten years the
yorld has witnessed the rise and fall
If the German Mark and has seer
the paper money Of several other
countries sold at a price that was
less than the value Of the paper on
which it was printed.
That, however, is only one side of
The picture, as the folder just issued
by the local bank points out. The
paper money Of the United States
is "as good as gold" and has always
been sc within the memory of most
people living. The constant value
If this governments promise to pay
should be a source Of pride to every
American.
The article, "The Story of Ameri-
can Paper Money" covers the en-
lire period of the United States
Government, and will make clear to
every reader just what paper cur
rency is and what it can do.
Tracing the history of money
through the ages, this interesting
series is covering the history of both
zeal money and credit money, the
banking systems and financial poll
cies. AS an educational effort. it is
most praiseworthy.

DDS can make money raising wheat at
the present price and can continue
20 realize a profit Is long as the
level stays above 80 cents. This au-

efficient growers.
Observers here were not impressed
by the late upward furry in the
price of wheat, which they attributed
largely to speculative operations. The
opinion was general that a perma-
nently higher price level is a very
remote prospect.
