board coins issued bv Buenos Aires
are used to combat the shortage of
nickel coins The pu|ter coins are
sold in minimum lots for one peso
'about 4U cental, and will he
valid only to buy tickets on the
city's street cars The colli short-
age has caused great Inconveni-
ence The general Impression is
that the scarcity Is entirely due
to hoarding of small change for
an emergency
The authorities point out that1
If every man, woman and child ;
should hold back two pesos in;
nickels business operations would
be virtually Impnastble The public
Is asked, therefore, to bring out
all small change and spend every
10-rent piece for all It ts worth
A deluge of copper coins which
suddenly reappeared Is the latest
development of the crisis

Cotton Ranks First in War
And in Peace
_i
"America needs more cotton to
win this war. and more Americans'
depend upon cotton for a living
than upon any other crop." says'
H. W Lynn, manager of the Bal-1
Unger oil mill "First In W a r, I
First In Peace, and First In the
Hearts of His Countrymen" ts a
new. profusely-illustrated bulletin
that the local mill is distributing
free to farmers, school teachers,
civic club leaders, students and
others who want facts about cot-
ton's Important part In the war
Many more Americans depend
upon cotton for a living than
upon any other crop
Cotton licit oil mills have facili-
ties to produce over twice the
protein feed, hulls oil for food,
and linters for munitions that can
be obtained from cottonseed now
produced More than '140 pound
of livestock feed arc lost when we
reduce the cotton crop by one 500-
pound bale of lint
Cotton ts the only major Ameri-
can crop that cannot be used until
processed
Powder to fire luo 000 bullets is
produced from one bale of cotton
! linters. and linters also dig ditches
or dress debutantes
‘These and many other inter-
esting facts along with 45 photo-
graphs make this bulletin of
| g e n e r a I Interest to everyone tn
! this community, one of more than
400 Cotton Belt towns that oil
nulls have helped to build Mr
Lynn (snots out
Cotton ls today, as it always
I has been, a 'crop with a future.'
Men and machines make it i ir
most useful crop, and given |
opportunity the cotton plant will
continue to grow in service to the
world It can attain a usefulness
almost beyond our imagination '
