Maybe This Will Be Of Interest To You By CLARKE BEACH AP Newsfeatures WASHINGTON Those rec tangular green pieces of paper you carry in your pocketbook are just about as popular as any commodity in the world today. When proud old nations knuckled under and devalued their currencies to make them worth less in terms of the American dollar, the young Ameri can greenback really came into its own. Once upon a time it "wasn't worth a Continental . lhat was when the Continental Congress turned out 210.000.000 on printing presses during the American Revo lution. In terms of gold and other nations' money, the Continental dollars were worth only a fraction of their face value. lie dollar got on its feet when Congress, after the Constitution had been adopted, established the present monetary system in 1792. Congress began coining dollars at the Philadelphia mint in 1793. They were all metal coins feold eagles i worth $10' and fractions of eagles, silver dollars and fractions of dollars and copper cents half cents. Advertising Fighting Inflation MEXICO CITY i UP! The Mex ican government has turned to big tinie advertising to fight inflation. After two drastic slumps in the value of Mexican money in one year. Mexico is launching a news paper, radio, newsreel and maga zine advertising program even more spectacular than those pro moting new soaps or new movies. Only give-away contests are missing from the battle to restore confidence in the peso. The national lottery already had that angle sewed up. But every other huckster trick, including paid news articles, edi torials, advertisements and radio speeches, is included in the anti inflation program. It boosts Mexi can products and the "true value ' of Mexican money, explains away and I recent currency flutuations and scoffs at their effect on the nation's The Federal Government didn't economy. turn out any paper money until the Civil War. when "greenbacks'' were first issued Banks operating under federal or state charters issued notes as currency and much of the paper eventually became badly depreciated in value. There was a great hullabaloo when the government made green backs legal tender, requiring that they be accepted in payment of debts. People are inclined to be dis trustful of fapcr money, and even today folks don't like to handle it in some towns in our western states. But the dollar managed to hold its own in relation to gold and the mighty British pound. Through most of our history the pound has been worth about $4.86. Afler the first World War it began to slip. In 1920 the pound was worth only $3.66. It was back to its normal $4.86 by 1930. But in 1932 it drop ped to its lowest point up to that time, to $3.50 in U. S. money. Then it fluctuated wildly. In 1934 it reached the highest value of which the Federal Reserve System has a record. $5.03. In 1941 it sold for $4.03, and that was its official rate until the recent devaluation sent it down to $2.80. The reason for the rise of the dollar in relation to the pound is primarily America's new position as a creditor nation. For more than a century we bought more from the rest of the world than the world bought from us. But in about 1926 we became the world's investment bank. Now we have so many things that the world wants to buy that our dollars are in unprecedented The theme of the currency bat tle is the cartoon of a slurdy, mus tachioed peon who represents the Mexican peso. Featured in daily full page newspaper advertise ments, the bushy-browed peon beats his silver-plated chest proud ly and declaims in verse: "I am your true friend who never fails you." Confidence Shaken Even with the advertising flurry and increasing support from pri vate concerns, however, Mexican confidence in the peso remains at low ebb. Many Mexicans still refer to the United States dollar as "real money," in contrast to the peso. Widespread fear is felt that the peso is due for another drop in value, possibly to an exchange rate of 10 pesos to the U. S. dollar, or lower. The Mexicans have a right to be gun-shy about their money. Since July, 1948, the peso's value has been cut in half on the foreign exchange market, despite drastic economic tactics by the govern ment to prevent it. It recently was pegged at 8:65 pesos to the dollar, its lowest official rate in history. Even the authoritative Banco Nacional, in an economic review written before the advertising pro gram began but not printed until afterward, admits that new deval uation of the peso is "possible'' if wages and government spending' are not held to their present levels. "Fallacy" Blamed j i ne government campaign blames most of Mexico's currency I troubles on the average Mexican's demand, throwing other currencies j preference for imported U. S. prod off balance The word dollar was in general use before our government adopted it. One or another form of the word designated many kinds of European currency. It came from the Greek word thaler. In Dutch it was the Daalder. In German it was the taler. Spanish "pieces of eight" were called dollars. The dollar sign also was in use before the Revolution. It is be lieved to have designated the Mexi can peso. It was first written "Ps". Later manuscripts show the "P" superimposed on the "S" which seems to be how we got the dollar sign. Today there are about 53 billion dollars in the world. About 28 bil lion of them are in circulation. Most of the rest are held in the U. S, Treasury. There they are in the custody of Mrs. Georgia Neese Clark, treasurer of the United States, whose signature also ap pears on all paper money now be ing produced. Another woman, Mrs. Nellie Tay loe Ross, for 16 years has been in charge of the manufacture of all U. S. coins. As director of the mint, she has in lhat time turned out about $1,028,000,000 worth of metal money. There's another interesting fact about women and American money. The Institute of Life Insurance has estimated that 70 per cent of the nation's private wealth is controlled by women.

"Wages and prices still are based on the peso, the government declares, and Mex icans must accustom themselves to thinking in terms' of pesos instead of dollars. "If a kilogram of. sugar is worth 80 centavos." one government sponsored editorial comments, "that should be considered its real value, whether it means 10 cents U. S. money or five cents. There is no reason why such fluctuations should affect such items as corn, beans, or any home-grown food or clothing made with Mexican raw materials and Mexican labor." Another Mexican line of attack calls Latin American nations "eco nomic colonies of a foreign money," and deplores "a wide spread belief in Latin America that the rate of exchange with that cur rency i United States) is what de termines the value of its own na tional money." More About The Cow, The Sow And The Hen Coy E. Shelton. president First State Bank of Altoona, Alabama, is an authority on many things but his special joys are "The Cow, The Sow and The Hen." Eldridge Daily, of Oneonta, Alabama, knowing of Mr. Shelton's deep interest in these three friends of the farmer, composed and dedicated a poem to the banker. The verse Is as fol lows: There's a trio in our land Which can bring great good to men. If it's only recognized Tis the cow, the sow, and hen. Let our friends upon the farm Square their shoulders, up their chin. Organize the magic three: The family cow, the' sow and hen. They will work for you with zest If only you will begin To provide a place for them. The helpful cow, the sow and hen. , , Let's use our heads as well as hands And cooperate, my friends, To make our homes and country great With help of cow and sow and hen.

It is estimated 10 million pounds is now on the floors of the 10 markets of Uu tory. That would leave an estimated 20 million pounds yet to be delivered. A large percent of this 20 million pounds, t where it is marketed, will subsequently be trucked to Greeneville for conditioning and storage. Since even with limited daily sale hours elsewhere, Greeneville has double daily sales, it will have ample accommodation customers. In the hope of accelerating the movement and orderly sale of the remaining crop, The (ireencville Tobarro Board of Tm cordially solicits the return of the patronage of former customers who in recent years, for fear of not obtaining sale sp marketed their crops at the smaller sale points instead of Headquarters.
