In short, are you the man who made a profit ort the unfortunate one who had the chance but did not possess sufficient judgment to recognize the opportunity or sufficient courage to close a deal ? The man or woolen entitled to.sytirpathy is 'the. one who.says: "Five or ten years ago I had The chance to buy this or that property at $100 or $500; and now it is worth .$10,000." The average person sneers at the person who makes, such a. statement and says:. "I would .have bought and made that money." Are you going to say five 'years from now that you had a chance to buy a lot at Poe, Alta.,•at from $50 -to $100 each, or are you going, to be the man who will have from 411,000 to $10,000 in cash as a result of having bought property in this town in this year of grace, 1911 ? POE A COMING COMMERCIAL.' CENTRE Poe is located on the main line of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway between Ed- monton and Saskatoon. It is located inone of the finest fzrmingdistricts in Western Canada. The surrounding country is settled by a progressive type of farmers.and consequently C will'become the market centre for Northern Alberta. Poe district possesses rich coal mines, is close to rivers and lakes and large forests, are easily accessible from this point. These natural resources insure for the residents of the town, first, low cost of living, and second, great commercial activity, two essentials in the upbuilding of a large town, thus creating valuable real estate. POE AS A MANUFACTURING CENTRE This townsite and contiguous territory has the' requirements outlined by large manufacturing concerns for the location of large factories or large enterprises of any kind • employing large numbers of people. ' The rivers and lakes furnish water, the coal fields and forests furnish fuel and cheap building material, the fine farming lands furnish farm products, enabling the residents to live at a low cost. The town is located on the main line of a transcontinental railway, assuring the aas necessary transportation facilities. These combined conditions will furnish cheap labor, one of the most important features of a manufacturing centre. Poe townsite was recently placed on the market and already over 200 Iots have been sold, and many of these lots have already changed hands at a substantial increase in price. Most of these lots were purchased by representative business men throughout Canada, who are now profiting by their foresight. The townsite is high and dry and very suitable for building purposes. OPPORTUNITY is useless unless you possess the courage to act. You might possess great wisdom, you might read a good deal or travel much and thus see all kinds of opportunities to make money, bat unless you have the courage to act on your judgment and wisdom all of these desirable dualities are entirely useless. Lots in Poe are a good investment • at present prices. The town is bound to grow rapidly. Owing to the easy terms of payment you have the ability to buy, and if you do not buy now it is because you are lacking in courage, and the chances are you will never be like the man you now admire most, rich, courageous and wise. TORREN S TITLE Pepe townsite is held by us under the Torrens system of title. Under this system the title is guaranteed by the Government, therefore absolutely safe. PRICES AND TERMS Prices of lots range from $5Q to $100 each, and they can be purchased on terms of one-tenth cash, balance in eighteen equal monthly payments; or quarter cash, balance in six, twelve and eighteen months.

During the year 1887 I was erxi. ployed by a noted scientist Q. H. Gra,ser, M. D. A. M., of Bryan Ohio, to supply him for publication a reliable statement in chapters, on Numismatics. I devoted cot?, siderable time on the subject and the chapters were twelve in number, occupying from one to two columns of reading in the "Telegram", 0 paper printed in the city of .toledo, Ohio. In looking over some of the historical seete ,hent:+ made, I became amused as well as interested in the (edifies and novelties of Illy discoveries, and thinking that they might supply your readers with some information on money matters as the records show, I send you this article which you are at lilaerty to dispose of. Money was at first an article that carne with time. At first all trade was clone by barter or exchange. The blacksmith gave his work for meat, grain tread skins. The 1'Ierdsinan was paid from the flocks they tended, cattle were early used as money. This kind of money had one advantage it had lege and could walk. The book of Job in the bible refers to values in! lambs, But people began to leek around for something handier and as vanity is very old articles used to adorn the b.n cls were resorted to. and one would readily give up something. useful for a trinket. Trinkets were really the first money, rings of gold, silver, iron. tin, shells and beads obtained ouraaoy. Metals in bars next came in. tree. The French once drove a prosperous trade by the use of China beads, which were sold to the natives. Frederick the 11 at the seige of Milan issued stamped pieces of • leather as money. Cod fish in'Icelan6 and Newfotindlancl away back was also used as money, Slaves and oxen passed cns's'ently in ancient. Greece, and among .the Anglo Saxons in payment of debts, soap and stones, which were herd enough to cut glass were prized above gold or silver. It one of the Egyptian pyramids a stone coin was found in Pharabh's pence. In Scotland at a time it was not nrcomrnon for workman to• carry nails instead ot monoy to the bakers shop. Tobacco was at ono time generally used in the State of Virginia as money even up to the year 106, fifty seven years after the foeedation ot the Colony was formed, Men .betight wives for to relAin weight cf 0b.:ced; In ()i na.i 06 bea.vcr':' s i'z was a great staple, and in, the year 1761 the logielature of Massachusetts enacted a law that wheat •should be received in payment of all debts. Fish became a legal tender. .The oldest coins were made in Ionia. in Asia Minor, as early as 000 J3, 0 Egypt with all herarts sand sciences, with all her senlpture, printing'., architecture, poetry .and music had no money of earlyage like otiter nations. Elie next step in Early coins was to treat the .Kings lute..• gods, and with this in view their heads wers stamped upon coins. • NIT It: ST ATES i4O ZE''. Thts stamping began in the reign of Alexander, 264, F3. 0. 'The Jew - Isla shekels were also used in. the thee of Christ. These were used in all tributes and offerings made to the church. In the' time of Christ the Roman coins became the general cnronoy. In the dark ages as far back as 1850 B. 0., the medium of a cls a,nge was ' metal rad was weighed, not counted and •consisted in iron, grass, copper, gold and silver. The coinage ot money in the United States began as far back as ]362. it wits a piece �of bruss but had no date,. but ;about this time the New England states coined pieces of money whrcll passed for a "six pence." ;In the year 16'62 the "pine sli.•itil- ing" was coined ie 1788 Copper carts began to be made. In the Year 1775 congress issued the •first paper money to the amount of $300.000. to be redernmed in Coin in three years. The Colonies also about this time issued paper money usatil the whole volume amounted to $12,000,000. This ourreney was taken without couch question rtt first and those who refused it were stigmatized as unpatrotic so that in the following year it began to decline until in the year 1780, it. gets worth rot'thing, rlo Robert Morris of the revolution is due the salvation of the American army lin lost his private fortune who issued hie own note's to the anionut of el .400 000.

The game went eleven innings to a tie and the way things looked twenty five innings would have resulted the same It was the kind of 'ball played by the Detroit Ti SOWS and sometimes by the Chicago Cubs Misner, the bell tosser for the local nine, pitched -a wonderful game and many times worked himself out of a corner. His speed at the end of the genie was faster than at the beginning and he promises to develop into something real good. The play at .ail Limos was fast and it was due to some close decisions of the unapFre that Zurich was not victorious. The return game will likely be played in. Clinton next week.
