Tokens Issued to Cover
Metallic Coin Shortage

Early in 1862 all metallic curren-
cy In the United States was grad
ually withdrawn from circulation.
Many citizens anticipated the pos
sible increase in value of all metals
and began boarding gold, silver
and copper to such an extent that
soon no metallic coins of any de-
nomination were in circulation. 1t
then became necessary for trades
men to issue a medium that would
meet the supply caused by the de-
ficiency Of government currency.
The first of these Civil war
tokens appeared in Cincinnati In
the fall of 1862 and began to cir
culate in New York in the spring
Of 1868. The first made in New
York was the Lindenmueller cur
reney, Of which there were 1,000,-
600 pieces struck. Then William
FL. Bridgens, the die cutter, issued
the Knickerbocker currency, con-
sisting of numerous varieties and
struck in large quantities. 1t was
estimated that not less than 25,-
100000 of these private tokens
were issued throughout the eastern
and middle western states until
the government, by an act of con-
gress in 1864, put stop to their
issue.
These little coins were usually
accepted as l cent. The value
placed on them today by collectors
is cents.

Shakespeare Shown as
Borrower of Proverbs

Shakespeare has been given the
credit for many a saying which he
did not originate. Like storymak-
ers and playwrights of this day, he
undoubtedly incorporated into his
dramas many proverb and home
ly saying already perfectly ia
miliar to his audiences. In the
second act of Hamlet" he makes
his posturing hero say: 81 am but
mad north-northwest. when the
wind is southerly, l know a hawk
from handsaw."
The connection between bird of
prey and carpenters tool hardly
is obvious. But the fact is, Shake
speare was simply quoting a ia
miliar proverb of his day-a cor
ruption Of a still older proverb, the
sense of which was that a person
could be so ignorant as not to be
able to distinguish between a
"hawk and heronshaw" Now, a
heronshaw-or herneshaw, as 1t
was sometimes spelled and pro-
nounced-was a species of heron
often preyed upon by the hunting
falcons. So not to be able to tell
the bird of prey from it's harmless
victim was an indication of stupid
ity, and vice versa.-Boston Tran
script.

alternating Mosquitoes

In the higher reaches of the
Rocky mountains in the northern
part of Montana lives a species of
mosquito that hibernates during
the winter, under logs and in shell
tered spots, and may be seen fly
ing on the first warm day Of
spring. These mosquitoes are
large, with spotted wings, and
often are referred to as snow mos
quitoes. According to Drs. N. Kad-
letz and L. Kusmina, Russian
scientists, these mosquitoes store
up fat in the summer, as do bears,
and subsist on it while doing
through the winter.

LOCAL BATSMEN ARE
VICTORIOUS, IS TO Il,
IN sundays FRACAS

The Red Lodge baseball team
avenged their previous defeat at
the hands of Cottonwood by taking
an IS to IL decision over the Coz
tontails in a game at Cottonwood,
Sunday.
The game was featured by wild
pitching, practically every men,
Der of the Cottonwood team being
hit by a pitched ball. In the first
inning Houtenen walked the first
man and hit the next three. Tuuri
took over the mound and also hit
the first batter to face him. In
the third inning, Wertanen hit
Hietala, forcing "the Flash to re-
tire for an inning.
Five runs were scored by Red
Lodge in the initial inning, on five
doubles by Sarrela, Murdo, Toffer,
Houtonen and Tuuri.
One of the features of the game
was Humps base-stealing. AT
ter polling a single through short,
he stole second on the next pitch
and third on the next. On slow
roller by the next batter he slid
over the home plate and was de-
clared safe.
Vic Rauma's work, both in the
field and at the plate, was one of
the high lights of the game.
Luhtala, Red Lodge catcher,
smashed out the longest drive ever
recorded in the Cottonwood park
for a home run.
The batteries for the game were:
Cottonwood : Hietala, Paavola,
Hketala and Bell; Red Lodge
Houtonen, Tuuri, Wertanen, Koski,
Klump and Luhtala.

with stock transaction is word
which is used when one is in the
act of buying In a stock which had
previously been sold short"-in
other words, a stock which had
been sold with the hope that the
market in that stock would subse-
quently decline and would thus af-
ford an opportunity for its pur-
chase as lower price, with the diff
, ference between its sale and pur-
chase price representing profit
on the transaction.
