Problem of the Apples.

Two boys had sixty apples. Each
had thirty. One boy sells his apples
lat three for one cent, thereby getting
item cents. The other sells his apples
Lat two applss for one cent, thereby
getting -sftoen cents. Both will get
twenty-five cents. Now, if both boys
Combine their stock and sell their APP
ples at five for two cents they will
only get twenty-four cents. The ques-
lion is, why in the first sales do they
get twenty-five cents for their stock
by selling them at five for two cents,
and in the next instance get only
twenty-four cents for the same num-
Der of apples at the same price?-M.

Washington, d. C.-While Presi-

THE DATE FOR FULL RECOVERY. 7
A Pittsburg Estimate the Progress Trade
Re~i~

Pittsburg, Pa.-Opinion differs as
to when the country's business activ-
ity will be such as to pronounce it
fully recovered from the after-panic
reaction. Increased producing capac-
ity, as compared with 1907 in the
steel trade especially, naturally raises
the level on which conditions must
now be judged. A few weeks ago it
was estimated that it will be the end
of 1911 before full capacity would
be engaged Several things have
since come in sight to affect the pre-
diction If good crops are harvested
this year, trade authorities now pre-
dict that the first half of 1910 will
see a remarkable expansion in de-
mand for iron and steel. as compared
with the present situation, and they
believe sufficient business is at hand
to keep eighty-five to ninety per cent.

that the immigrant station at Ellis
Island again is the busy place that it
always is in prosperous times.
At the Treasury Department the
first indication that the American
people were becoming hard up was in
the falling off in internal revenue re
ceipts and in receipts from the GUS
toms. These two failures in the
great revenue raising means of the
Government accounted for the tre-
mendous deficiency that promises to
confront Uncle Sam at the end of the
fiscal year, June 80.
With increasing receipts and de-
creasing deficit the Treasury Depart
ment is optimistic.

CARE OF THE BED.

In an article on the care of the

the following in regard to the care
OF the bedroom: The bedstead needs
cleaning weekly. Top, bottom, back
and front must be gone over with a
damp cloth, or perhaps sponge wet
in benzine. If any trace of the cimex
(the Objectionable insect) is found,

success in the world than the one who
has received no education in such in

Rev. j. w. Heard Delivers Baccalau.
reate Sermon to High School
Graduating Class of 100.
4 rlasterful Discourse Which Was
Listened to by a Large and
Appreciative Audience.

The baccalaureate sermon to the
Princeton high school graduating
class of 'O9 was delivered by Rev. J.
W. Heard at the Methodist church on
Sunday evening. A large audience
listened to the words of wisdom and
sterling advice uttered by the reverend
gentleman and the sermon was duly
appreciated. It was sermon from
which all should derive benefit,
whether they were the young pupils
about to graduate or people of more
mature years. The vocal selections,
rendered by chorus of twenty-five
voices under the direction of Mrs. C.
A. Galley, we're of high class-the
members of the choir, each and every
one, being perfectly familiar with their
parts. Decorations of flowers and
foliage in great profusion, inter-
mingled with the class colors, gave
an enchanting effect to the interior of
the church.
Rev. Heard chose for his subject,
"The More Abundant Life,'' and his
sermon was as follows:

FIFTEEN GRADUATE,
Largest Class in History of Prince
tons High School Awarded
Diplomas on r1onday.
Rev. Gillles of the Hennepin Avenue,
minneapolis, NJ. e. Church,
Delivers Able Address,.

Packed to the doors was the opera
house on Monday evening, when
fifteen of Prineeton's high school
graduates received their diplomas.
This is a very creditable number,
indeed, for village the size of
Princeton, and it goes to show not
only that the school faculty is of the
highest order but that the students
are particularly bright That the
graduates were apt pupils is mani
tested by the high percentages made
by them in their various studies, and
that they received most excellent
tutelage is shown by the same fact.
It is meet and proper to say here that
Professor Marshall and his instruc-
tors deserve more than passing praise
for accomplishing the task of bring
ing fifteen pupils up to the high point
necessary for them to graduate, and
those who received diplomas are also
deserving of commentator for their
close application to their studies.
The graduating class, speakers and
members of the school board were
seated on the stage, the front of which
was decorated with lilacs and foliage
intertwined with the class colors-
robins egg blue and cherry. Over
the top of the stage was displayed the
class motto, "Facta non verba, :"
worked in colors, the whole making a
pretty setting for the graduates es-
pecially the ladies in their white
dresses.
This year the graduating exercises
