A FREE EDUCATION FOR ALL.

G. B. means cash book.
j. O. means journal.
i. B. means invoice book.
S. Is. means sales book.
B. X. means bills receivable.
Is. p. means bills payable.
1t is not usual in business to prefix on
abbreviation designating the name OF
where the entry is posted from to the
ledger, but IL is shown in the examples
to help the student in understanding the
lessons.
1t will be seen that all the books in the
book) are planned TO show the first ana
second posting. the fundamental principle
OF double entry bookkeeping.
In the journal entries there Is debit
for every credit.
In the invoice book the first posting in
the individual creditors accounts posted
TO each second posting is the total amount
posted TO the debit of merchandise.
In the sales book. the first posting Is the
individual debtors accounts posted To each
and the second posting is the total
amount posted to the credit OF merchan-
disc account
In the bills receivable book the first
posting Is the individual accounts posted
To the credit OF each, and the second post
ing is the total posted to the debit OF bills
receivable account
In the bills payable book the first post
ing is tho individual accounts posted to
the debit of each and the second posting
is the total posted to the credit OF bills
receivable.
1he total Of each side OF the cash book,
less the balance brought forward (for
which there is no contra entry) posted To
the ledger cash account will show both on
the cash book and ledger accounts the
actual cash balance. by referring To the
cash book and the ledger cash account.
This can be proved in tho examines.
In ledger accounts of postings from bills
receivable from individuals the accounts
stand as a credit bal ancc. 1t must be pre-
slmed, that as the accounts are not
balanced that goods have been sold TO Gus
toners and the amount will be eventually
posted To each account to balance it.
:, In the same way the case OF the bllls re. .
ceivable To individuals the accounts stand
as n debit balance, and it must bo pro-
sumed that goods have been purchased
from those concerns, and that the amounts
will be eventually posted to each account
to balance it.
BY carefully studying the foregoing
examples and making out ledger accounts
and checking back with the books tho
student will be able TO grasp how TO COR
rectly open, post and keep ledger
This ledger can DO proved to be correct
and in the next lesson on Trial
Baanoers" an example will be given, by
which the correctness OF tho Students
work can be ascertained.

IEDGER.-(Continued).

The examples given in this and the last
lesson show the reader or student how To
open ledger account; how TO post tba
books 70 the account: and how the ledger
account should be balanced; that trial
balance may be taken off TO prove the cor
rectness of the work.
1t will be well to point out here that all
the names and amounts of the ledger ac-
counts can be checked off with the entries
made in tho previous lessons on cash
book, journal, invoice book, etc, etc.
The ledger folio is distinctly shown in
the left nand top corner of each ledger
account leach ledger account representing
one page) This folio should also appear in
the column for that purpose opposite each
entry in oil the books, and the ledger
postings can be readily traced.
That the means of tracing an entry

the several books (Which the keeping
and planning of has been explained in

on the vacillating, sensitive business

varies more or less from day 10 day and
runs up and down the scale from $40,

being a little more than per cent of

12 per cent thereof Can any sane man
convince himself that this is a safe con-
dition Of affairs, and can be maintained
indefinitely?
Owing to certain conditions prevail
ing at this time, we are for the time
being lulled into feeling of false Sc
curity and our efforts to adjust the
finances of tho government seem prac-
tically abandoned. Present conditions
cannot be expected to continue in

would largely increase the flow of

Narragansett avenue Is always a much

The policeman did the work with great
care and regularity.
'"That's careful "copper"" the crook
volunteered, addressing a man who was
standing few feet away.

he wants to gain the good opinion of his
superiors
The old time crook laughed.

easy enough" retorted the crook
"1t's your careful copper that can be
easily spotted. The man who is going
to do job knows just where he will be
on his post at o certain time and can
figure ont just how long the coast will
be clear and the job can be carried on.
The careful cop goes at his work just
like clockwork. Now, with what some
persons would call bad cop it's differ
ent. The crooks are afraid of these
bad cops, the fly fellows that take big
chances and stay off post when the
roundsman isn't around. They can
never tell just where a bad cop is or
when he will jump out and catch them
at their job. See? There is no known
system of keeping track of 'em, becar Q
they don't do business themselves y
any system, those bad cops don't"
Then the old time crook walked into
a saloon and got a drink, leaving the
citizen on the corner wondering. The
citizen learned the identity of the crook
when he narrated the incident later to
the proprietor of the same saloon. The
fellow was retired bunko man. New
