environment, lived the lives of prim-
tive people and their money, or
medium of exchange, was likewise
primitive. While the United States
has adopted the gold standard, the
time was when Maryland was on a
tobacco standard"
Turning again to our principal au-
thority, we read in Andrews that to-
bacco was, in effect, provincial cur
rency and that the "frst public SER
vice enterprise" "a water mill for the
grinding of grain), was authorized
at an expense limited to twenty thous-
and pounds of tobacco, to be raised
by taxation within two years, or at
the rate of ten thousand pounds a
year. Likewise, the first State House
was to cost not above six thousand
weight of tobacco.
But the time soon came when the
Colonists desired a convenient cur
rency rather than having to transact
most of their business in their bulky
chief crop. The Proprietary made an
effort to introduce English coins and
currency into the Colony, but the
principle of local self government
seemed to be deeply impregnated in
their very being and the citizens de-
manded that Maryland have its own
currency.
Consequently in 1861 the Assem-
bly, passed an Act concerning the es-
tablishment of a mint within the
province, stipulating that "the money
SO coined or which shall be coined
in the said mint shall be as good sill
yer as the current coin of English
Sterling money"
1t was also provided that to clip,
counterfeit, wash or otherwise "di-
minish" the said coins should be pun
ishable by death and forfeiture of es-
tate.
But despite these efforts to set up
it's own mint, the Provincial curren-
cy seems to have been minted in Eng
land, the coins in circulation being
the penny, groat, sixpence and shlll-
ing, as we'll as a limited circulation
of Spanish coins. At the same time
land certificates were sometimes, used
as q medium of exchange, so that such
certificates may be regarded as the
first paper money in circulation in
the Colony. .-..-.,
Owing to the lack of proper Cir
culating medium and the difficulty, of
handling and rating the coins in use,
much confusion and some embarrass-
ment resulted. Finally the Colony
finding increasing difficulty in, main
tanning it's credit, by an Act passed
in 1881 the office of Intendent of the
Revenue, or State Treasurer, was Gre
ated and Daniel Of st. Thomas Jeni-
fer was. the first incumbent of this
office. He served until 1785, when the
term expired and the office was abol-
ished. - @ .-- ~ T..
The contrast between the tobacco
age" in Maryland and the present, as
we'll as the solid foundation upon
which her industries is founded, may
be readily seen when it is stated there
are now (193O) rs National Banks
and ITO State banks, trust companies
and savings institutions in the %
counties of the State, the combined
deposits of which are 1914, ,750,272.

SIREN BLAST NOTICE TO
STOP, SAY PATROLMEN

A shnrt siren blast and pair of
flashing ned lights, if it is dark, is a
signal to stop. A state highway pa
trolman wants to talk to you. But
do not be alarmed, says a highway
bulletin.
The patrolman may merely want to
inform the driver that the rear light
is out, or give some other suggestion
intended to promote safety. Red
lights and the siren blast will be
used by patrolmen to identify them
selves
All cars and motorcycles used by
the patrolmen will be equipped with
Stems and red lights mounted close
to the headlights. If in pursuit of a
fugitive lawbreaker, or in hurrying to
a scene of an accident, red lights will
be TUNED on and the siren sounded
freely.
MotociSts are warned to pull to the
right edge of the road as closely as
possible to give police right of way
at such times. The use of siren, or
any red or green lights visible from
the frnnt of any vehicle, other than
a police vehicle, is prohibited by law.

WASTE IN ADVERTISING

This is an age of advertising.
Business could not get along without
it. Yet many merchants waste a
large share of the money they think
they are spending for advertising and
wonder why they do not get better
results.
Women do most of the buying for
the home. Now, did you ever see
woman looking over the billboards, on
reading the movie screen advertise
ments in order to make up her mind
what or where to buy! Does she get
her shopping information from
telephone directory? Not on your
life.
Outside of the store itself, the best
and almost the only way to attract
prospective customers attention to
what you have to sell is through the
newspaper that goes into the home.
The store the. advc.tises Adequately
and persistently in it, local newspap-
ers has no need to waste money on
the other inferior medium mentioned.
