Let it be supposed to substract all
the amounts below the line at b from
all those above it at A. Add all the
figures in the first lower column b,
which will make IA. and substract their
sum from the next higher number of
tens. or 20. Add the remainder, 6. to
the corresponding column above at A,
and the total will be 90. Write down
3 at the bottom, and because there were
here two tens, as before. there Is moth
ing to be reserved or carried. In a like
manner add the figures of the second
column in B, which will amount to 2.
and this taken from 10 will leave /;
add l. therefore, to the second column
of the upper numbers, the sum of which
will be 20: write down a cipher at the
bottom, and because there were here
two tens, while in the lower column
there was but one reserve the differ
euce and substract 1t from the next
column of numbers, marked b, before
you begin to add. In the contrary case
that Is. when there are more tens in
any one Of the columns marked Il than
In the corresponding columns above 1t
the difference must he added. In the
first place when 1t happens that the
difference cannot be taken from the
next column below for want Of more
significant figures. as the case here in
the fifth column. 1t must be added to
the upper Cne and the whole sum
written below the line. BY proceeding
In this manner the above result is OBJ
tanned. and it will be found invariably
correct.
Any sckcCiboy who has passed null
tiplication in his arithmetic knows that
to multiply q number by ten 1t is only
necessary to add q cipher: by one hun
dred, two ciphers. and 50 on. Hence 1t
follows that to multiply by five 1t Is
only nece ssary tc suppose cipher add
cd and divide by two. Thus. If 1t were
required to multiply 127 by five. with
n cipher added you have 1,210. which.
divided by two, equals G3j, the pro-
duct required.
In Il like manner, to multiply any
number by twenty-five. two Ciphers
must be added. or first assume that the
number has been multiplied by 100,
then divide by four According to the
same principle to multiply by l25 it will
he. necessary to add three ciphers and
divide by eight.
The MULTIPLICATION of any number by
eleven may be reduced to simple addi-
tion. Let .he number 10 be multiplied
by eleven be G,,5S3. The whole process
may be reduced to the following few
strokes Of the pencil:

FARMERS AND PHONES,
They Arc Already Using Them Out in
Michigan.

MicnieuU.
Farmers are generally looked upon
as slow thinkers, but there can hardly
be q better piece of testimony To the
Intelligence of the agricultural commu-
mites of this country than the fact
that they are largely adopting the tele-
phone. not only for communication
with adjacent or distant villagers and
between themselves. but for receiving
weather warnings and keeping in touch
with the markets. In Michigan, for in
stance, In the center Of the great peach
growing district, a telephone company
has been organized by the farmers and
forty miles of wire are now In opera
tion, with thirteen stations. The fruit
growers find the service of immense
value.
Formerly. If the state of the market
was to be ascertained for the guidance
of shippers. the fruit grower had to
harness up and ride into Hart. the
central town, many miles away. Now
TIE farmer goes to his telephone and In
a few minutes knows what prices are
ruling. In fact, much of the business
which heretofore has required trip to
town Is now transacted over the wire
The cost OF the installation is said to
have been small. and the system is to be
extended within the next few months.

woodmcn of the world.


Last Thursday night was instituted in this
city lodge of the Woodmen of the World
which is claimed to be a record breaker not
not only in the number of names on the char
ter list but also on account of the quality of
the membership. The new lodge is composed
exclusively CT business and professional men,
and among those who have already Joined
are many who are prominent in the city.
The ceremony of institution took place in
Patterson hall with a large number of the
charter members in attendance. 1t occurred
under the direction of Sovereign Commander
Root, who took occasion to deliver an ad-
iless upon the benefits of the order of which
he is the head.
The greater part of the business consisted
of the election of officers. This resulted as
follows: c. S. Montgomery, G. c.; Frank
III. Gaines A. L.; j. A. Sunderland, B.; John
Q. Bergner, c.; ]. X. Patterson, E.. Joseph
Lowe, W.; G. A. Van Inwegen, s.; r. w.
Ccnnell P; G.. l.. Swartz, Allen t. Rector
and H. X. Burket M.
The name of the lodge is Commercial No.
107. The charter list contained some 130
names, which were obtained chiefly through
the efforts of DR.. Rodgers, the sovereign
physician of the order. 1t Is proposed to
continue an active canvass for further men,
bership, and it is expected that within a
short time the rcll will contain 300 names,
If not more. In order to give an idea of the
class of men that the lodge has in its mem

Next Friday night a meeting of foresters
Of South Omaha will be held in National hall.
at Twenty fourth and l. streets The pur-
pose Is to complete the institution of new
lodge of the order A meeting with that
object in view was held on last Thursday
night in the same hall, but owing to the
fact that there were number of other meet
ings on the same evening the attendance
was not what was desired, and consequently
1t was decided to postpone the full institution
for week.
At the meeting last week, however, a num-
Der OF new officers of the new lodge were
elected. These are as follows; A. l.. Hunter,
c. r.; A. N. Hagen, " c. r.; e. Kalhorn,
r. s.. Bert II. Hawley f. s.; A.
F. stryker, T.; r. t. Marshall,
S. W.; E. W. Steele. S. b.:
j. j. Russell, c.. Joseph Wiltshire ]. d. The
officers of past chief ranger, court deputy,
Junior woodward, physicians and trustees are
yet to be filled. These elections together
with the matter of selecting a hall and the
naming OF the court will constitute the main
business of next Friday nights meeting.
There was however a very respectable at
tendance at Thursday nights meeting and a
very enjoyable time was had. T.. l.. Combs
Akin, 70. G. Bradrook and T. A. K Gray
entertained the members with remarks upon
the order.
The charter list of the new court In this
city, Mondamin, will close next Wednesday
night, and consequently the new members
are hustling to get candidates. 1t is expected
that the original charter list will be doubled
by the time of the next meeting on Wednes-
day,
