COUNTING BY TENS.
And a Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by the Dozen.

And a Suggestion as to Why We Buy
Things by the Dozen.
Did 1t ever occur to you as strange
that while we count by tens we buy
so many articles by the dozen: II we
ask the price OF apples. oranges, oys-
tiers. eggs collars, handkerchiefs and
many other things we will be told so
many cents or dollars a dozen. or If
large quantities are wanted so much
gross. which means a dozen dozen.
How do you suppose this has come
about? 1t was this way: Nearly all
savage people count by their fingers
that is. If they want 10 tell you they
have seen two wild beasts they will
hold up two fingers, and II ten they
will hold up both hands. and II twenty
both hands twice. and so on. Babies
also learn to count by their fingers
and toes, and to many people It seems
as II that were the only possible way.
II is. however. rather a clumsy way,
as you find out when you try to divide
ten. Say. for example. you have ten
apples. You can only make an equal
division among two or five persons,
while II you have twelve you can give
an equal number to two. three. four
or six. We lind the same incouven
fence in dividing u dollar and often
have to pay 10 cents for what should
properly cost 1919 cents.
II we had been born with two, four
six or eight fingers or toes. like some
animals. II is possible that we should
have counted differently. but II does
not now seem likely there will ever be
any change 10 the ten or decimal sys-
TEN. us Il Is called. especially since
the Arabic numerals now used nearly
everywhere are based on this system

E. HOWE. Editor and Pub'r

New York state had the usual ex-
perience in trying to enforce the law
against Sunday ball playing. An av-
erage jury anywhere will not make
a criminal of a fellow citizen just for
playing baseball on Sunday. Public
sentiment is mightier than a Puritan
ical blue law.

YoAKUM SEES GOOD CROPS.
Rail Head Is Optimistic Over Middle
West Outlook.

New York, Aug. 2.--B. F. Yoakum,
president Of the ST. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad, gave it as his belief on
his return from a short western trip
chat the crop yields this year will abou
equal that of last year, despite dam
age in some sections.
Anxiety over crop reports from the
southwestern states has greatly SUBJ
sided,' he said, ION account of good
rains. The Kansas wheat crop is esti-
mated at 81 million bushels against 81
million last year, but large crops of
hay and oats probably will bring the
total crop yield of that state up to last
years figures. Crops in Missouri are as
good as last year and in the southwest
ern part of the state exceptionally good.
The oats crop is estimated at million
bushels more than last year.
Cotton in Arkansas and Oklahoma
is in good condition with from 10 to
20 per cent more acreage. The Okla
homa corn crop has been damaged con-
siderably, but the wheat crop will be
% per cent greater than last year.
There will also be a splendid yield of
hay and oats. Texas now expects a
letter crop than last year and a good
crop of rice and corn"
