THE N E W B E R G G R A P H IC Newberg Graphic THUBSDAY. AUGUST 13, 1914 a few days there will be a battle fought, when the account ot the flow o f human blood w ill be too- awtul to put into print. And when this awful w ar is over, representatives ot the different countries involved will seat themselves around a table and work out the terms o f the final settlement. It seems that from ordinary reasoning it can be seen that the sensible thing to do in instances o f this kind would be for the consultation to be held around the table before a drop of blood has been spilled. But the w ar is oojrnd the great engines o f destruction to proper ty and human life must be tried out. If you desire to take an after noon nap on next Sunday, you will do well to keep aw ay from the city park, tor Dr. Clarence True Wilson, the temperance re former, and Col. E.

The piece is o f copper, and its coinage raine in 1659 was 8 Swedish datera— equiva lent to about $5.20 American money. As a curio and rarity its vaine has now multiplied at least a hundredfold. In general appearance the coin is a rectangular ingot, with five large, round stamps, punched in it, one in each corner and one in the center. Stamps were placed in the corners to prevent “ clipping.” Each cor ner stamp carries the Swedish 1659. Around the acription o f Carolus Gustavos X., the reigning king. The center stamp states the value at $8 in silver. Coins o f this kind were called “ plate money.” Sweden turned them out continuously for 110 years, beginning in 1649, in the reign o f Christina, daughter o f Gustavus Adolphus, in denomina tions o f eight, four, two, one and half daler pieces, with pieces of five and three dalers in one year The coinage had been in progress ten years when the specimen now here was struck. In 1715 the Swed ish government melted down 116 bronze cannon and made them into 86,760 plate money dalera. Such large pieces o f pure copper were issued as money in order to find an outlet fo r the products o f depreciating the raine o f the m etal Daler and half daler pieces are most often found; twoe and fours are scarce, and the eight daler pieces are no longer to be seen in Europe except in the large mu seums.— New York World. what the other cur did/ " “No, you’re wrong, for the dog got the meat.” “ Well, how did be do i t r “ Why, the other end of the rope was not tied.” A CLEAN-UP Friday-Saturday or Any Other Day for 2. weeks will Give 40% Discount on all Muslin Gowns, Petticoats, Slips, Combination Suits, Ladies and Children's a sh Dresses and Shi rt aists.
