THE MIGHTY DOLLAR : What Americans in their materialistic pride used to call “the almighty dollar” is not yet liter- ally almighty, even in the restricted realm of fi- nance, but it is almost that. “Dollar exchange,” which means the right of American bankers and merchants to use the dollar as the unit of value in their foreign dealings, is now almost universal. The pound and franc and mark and lira and the rest take a back seat. : The mightiness of the dollar is shown strik- : “y ingly in current rates of exchange with various KW European countries, especially our late enemies. ! i) A dollar used to be exchangeable for about four if German marks. Now the mark has sunk so low in value that an American dollar buys 12.6 marks, HT and all food and other supplies from the United States are sold in Germany on that basis. 2S EMBER AULIT BUREAU OF CIRCULATION SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE Daily by carrier per year ...-.+++++++ socvesccccces$Fa0 peily by ett per your (In Buamnare) ates * il per year (In state outside . by. mail Patelda of North Dakota HE STATE’S OLDESY!
