Nino Hundred Thousand a Year to tho
Government and $200000 to the Na
tional Bank Also to Have Uniform
Design For Each Denomination,
Tho size of nil United States curren
cy and national bank notes probably
will be reduced by otie-Uitrd and Unlr
designs revolutionized for the safcn of
economic to the fjovcrninent, conven
ience to the public and safety a gal not
counterfeiting. Tills dedtden practi
cally has lccn reached by the secro
tary of the treasury, Mr. MucVcagn.
It Is projwsed to make the dltnotwtiinfl
0 by 14 Inches. Tho paper money
now In circulation mwwures 7.38 hy
3.01 Inches. The designa at all paper
money United States notes and cer
tiflcatus ami national hunk not
would be H.vKtematlzcd and nxido uni
form for every denomination.
This move in expected to save 0
government alxwit fOOO.OOO annually
and the national banks, which pay for
the plates for their notes and part of
the cost of redemption, about $300,
000. The economies 'would be offoetod
in utoel for the plate, tn paper and in
labor.
For many montlis tho only deterrent
to tlie Htep by executive authority has
been tho belief that It -would bo necse
sary for congrws to nppropriato about
$1,000,000 to replace ttre naOoual bank
note ptetos which hove been paid for
by tho national bonks. Tbia problem
has boon solved by a plnn to havo tho
general design of all notional bant
notes uniform, repairing only ono on
graved pinto for each denomination,
and to place on the notm hy enrfaco
printing tho name, location end char
ter number of the bank. This would
do away with separate plates for each
bank.
Time Required For Change.
Eighteen months vould be required
to effect tho change by tho preparation
of tho designs, engraving of tlio places
and jHiuUng of tho notes. To meet tho
objection that for a time at least thero
would be two sizes ot currency in cir
culation It has bom suffgoHtcd that tho
government print in advance a eufll
clent ruautity of the note; ot tho now
size to Ik esclmnRed at tlio Bobtreae
urles ainl national banks on a fixed
date. Tho change could be ecrbeton: al
ly accomplished -within a few days,
treasury officials boUovc. "There aw
now nineteen different dcrtgns of cur
rency. Tho change would rodnco Qiox!
to nine. Each denomination would bo
characterized by a distinctively Ameri
can historical portrait engraved in tho
center of tbe note. In time tho por

Hid POTATO CHOP.
Production of .'(5'J,()00,00t Bushels
Promised Next Lnrgcst on Record.
Genernl Indications point to a big
potato crop this year. On July 1 tho
con'dltlon of tho 3,089,000 ncres
plantod was 88.!) per cent, of nor
mal, compared with 76 por cont. last
year and 81). 3 por cont. for tho 10
year avorage. Tho Indicated yield
por aero of 05.5 bushels compared
vory favorably with 80.9 last year
and was slightly oolow tho live-year
avorago of 190G-10 of 90.8 bushels.
Tho InUicatcd production ns figured
by tho Department of Agriculture
was 352,000,000 bushels, or next to
tho largest In tho country's produc
tion record.
Tho largest ylold occurred In
1909, when tho production was 37G,
537,000 bushels. Tho census re
turns gave tho ylold of that year
somewhat higher at 389,195,000
bushels. That year was followed by
a yield of 349,032,000 bushel,, af
ter which camo tho short crop of
1911 nnd new high prices.
Last year's average prico of pota
toes at the farm was practically 78
cents a bushel, or an advanco of
22.2 cents on tho preceding year,
amounting to a gain of 40 per cent,
in prices. Between February 1,
1911, and February, 1912, Eastern
potatoes roso 100 per cent. Last
Winter was In many respects tho
most excessive In tho cost of such
food products In many years.
Present prospects favor substan
tial relief In this project. High
prices during tho past year stimu
lated Increase In acreage. Tho rea
son has not In all cases been entire
ly favorable to tho grower. While
soil conditions havo been good, thero
has been a good deal of wet weath
er and tho season was lato In start
ing. Southern supplies nre fairly
abundant and prices aro again more
seasonable in retail circles.
MEN MUST NOT DRINK.
f.ackawanna Railroad Issues Sweep
ing Order.
Hoboken, Aug. G. Total abstin
ence from intoxicants at all times,
whether on duty or off; tho regula
tion of leisure hours in tho manner
that best makes for rest absolute
prohibition, even against visiting sa
loons or other places where llqu r
is sold Is the pitch of an order Is
sued by the Lackawanna Railroad
Company to-day.
Tho order, an outcome of the re
cent disastrous wreck at Corning, N.
Y., applies to all classes of employes
directly connected with the move
ment of trains. It amen'ds rule "G"
one of tho general rules of tho
standard code of the American Rail
way Association. It becomes effec
tive at once.
The amendment is as follows, in
full:
"In furtherance of the objects of
tho seven federal and State 'hours of
service' laws, employes In engine,
train, yard and station service are
prohibited from using their tlmo
while off duty in a manner that
may unlit them for tho safe, prompt
and efficient performance of their
respective duties for tho company.
They are strictly enjoined and re
quired to use their time while off
duty primarily for obtaining amplo
rest.
"Tho- use of intoxicants while on
or off duty, or visiting saloons or
places where liquor Is sold, in
capacitates men for railroad service
and Is absolutely prohibited. Any
violation of this order by employes
will be suulclont cause for dismissal."
General Passenger Agent Geo. A.
Cullen, speaking of tho rule, said
that whtlo It has always been against
the rules of the company for em
ployes to appear for duty in an in
toxicated condition, tho measure
taken to regulate their conduct
while off duty Is tho most drastic
in railroad history. Ho said, further,
that tho officials of tho road had de
cided aa this action when their at
tention was directed to tho ques
tions raised concerning the physical
and mental condition of tho employ
es involved In the recent wreck at
Corning-.
"It has beon thought heretofore,"
said Mr. Cullen, "and Is still a gen
eral practice on American railroads,
that bo long as men avoid tho habit
ual of liquors when off duty they aro
reasonably safe, but recent experi
ence has shown that thero Is only
ono absolutely safe course to bo fol
olwed by theso classes of mon, and
that Is to abstain altogether from
tho uso of liquor, and that will be
tho rule on the Lackawanna Rail
road horeafter.
"Tho company realizes that In this
departure It may be criticized for
pursuing an extromo courso, but It
rests assured that public sentiment
will support its position in view of
tho great risks Involved.
Quite as Important as tho sec
ond part of tho now rulo Is tho first,
although It may possibly not attract
as much public attention. It Is a
well known fact that there aro many-
other forms of dissipation besides
drinking that may tend to unfit men
for their duties, nnd where safety
requires mon to bo alert and keen
whllo on duty It Is absolutely essen
tial that they shoulU como to their
work refreshened by abundant
Bleep and In full possession of all
their physical and metnal facul
ties."
