ANCIENT ARITHMETIC.
Problems SchooIboys Had to Solve
Thirty-six Centuries Ago.

Problems SchooIboys Had to Solve
Thirty-six Centuries Ago.
There is a ray of vindictive comfort
for the modern schoolboy in the fact
that for over $500 years his schoolboy
progenitors have been worried by just
such problems in arithmetic as annoy
him most.
Among the archaeological discoveries
made in Egypt is a papyrus roll, in
excellent condition, dating from about
17OO B. G. This roll, which had a
long heading beginning, Directions
how to attain the knowledge Of all
dark things" proves beyond doubt that
the Egyptians Of that time had a
thorough knowledge Of the elements
of arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means of ad-
dition and multiplication. Subtrac.
ton and division were not known in
their present form, but correct results
were obtained nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the papy.
rus. Here is one that brings the Egyp.
tan schoolboy home to us:
Ten measures of barley are to be di
vided among ten persons in such man
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth less than the one
before him.
Another example given is: There are
seven mon. each one has seven cats
each cat has eaten seven mice; eacl
mouse has eaten seven grains of bar
ley; each grain of barley would hav'
yielded seven measures of barley
How much barley has been lost?

Sunlioh, and Germs,

Here is an instructive experiment
made recently on the effects of sun
light. Some germs Of the terrible dis
ease, anthrax, were sown on two
plates of gelatin, and while one plate
was kept in the dark the other was
placed in the sunlight. The germs
grew, and at the end of ten minutes
there were 800 colonies or groups in
the sunshine plate and 400 colonies in
the dark plate.
One hour later the result was: In
the sunshine plate, none; in the dark
plate, $3.50. No disease germ thrives
in sunlight.

Tennvson's Bird Sounds.

Perhaps the best word for the cry Of
the cricket is that of Tennyson. "Not
a cricket chirr'd,' he writes in I'm Me-

curiously exact in his vocal rendering
of the songs Of birds. What could be
truer to sound than "the moan of
doves in immemorial elms?" Then,

For Labor Commission

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-Shall the state
commissioner of labor be an organ
lied labor man, a union man, or shall
he not? That is the question the peo-
pie of Georgia will be called on to
decide at the polls when they come
to fill the new state Office created by
the governor recently. B. Lee Smith,
former president of the Georgia Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor, has announced his
candidacy for the office, and hopes
to receive the full support of the labor
unions. Mr.. Smith, though a labor
leader. has always been emphatically
a conservative. Comment is wide 3.
spread outside of labor circles. Mr..
Smith is a man of broad common
sense and splendid record. 1t is con-
coded that if any organized labor man
ought to have the office he could make
a fine man in it.

DAYS DOING At
STATE CAPITAL
PROHIBITION WILL NOT BE THE
PRINCIPAL ISSUE IN CAMPAIGN.
OTHER NEWS FROM ATLANTA

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-It is not believed
here that Judge Richard RusselTs de-
claration for local option as a part
OF his gubernatorial platform will
make liquor the main issue in the
campaign. 1t is not believed that the
fight will be a struggle between the
prohibition and local option forces,
between the ''drys" and vets"
The fact is pointed out that while
Judge Russell has declared himself
TO be in favor of local option, he is
in no sense candidate put forward
by the liquor interests, and it seems
that the liquor people would have
little to gain this year by entering
the gubernatorial fight even If they
could elect their candidate. Merely
to elect local option governor does
not mean that the state will have local
option. This year it wouldn't mean
anything, for the present legislature
members may differ on details that
legislature is not in favor of voting
whisky back into Georgia.
Without the active support of the
liquor interests, no local option candi-
date could expect to win in to-
day. No politician here suggests that
they are unfriendly to Judge Russell,
but simply doubt that they will enter
fight in which they seem to have
nothing whatever to gain even in case
of nominal victory.
In a year when the new legisla-
ture was to be elected too, a local
option victory would probably mean
local option. 1t is doubtful now
whether Judge Russell will even be
opposed by any candidate whose main
plank is prohibition. 1t is not believ-
ed that the issue will be a determin-
ing one.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
vaIIette Replies to Montgomery.

MT Editcr: If MT. Montgomery had given as much thought and study to the money question as he no doubt has to the tariff, it is possible he might know more about it than he appears to know about tariff. Protective tariff says MT NJ, keeps a high wage schedule With a war tariff, higher than the present tariff, wages were lower at every trade than they wages Can MT. NJ. explain his own contradiction The higher the tariff the lower the wages. Perhaps MT M. can remember the panic of 1873, and millions of wage earners were out of employment tramping the country looking for work, and thou sands of business concerns were in with the high wage schedule then2 Is 1t possible that MT M. is mis- taken. when he says that wages were lower at every trade than they are to- day" 1 suggest that he ascertain the wages paid to labor during and after the war, up to 1873. He may be sur prised at his own assertion High prices of products do not always make the cost of living high What we want to do, is to find, first, what is meant by high cost of living, and, second. to learn the cause. Let us put it this way. We will say the
  is, we call it high comparatively. Of course. when products are high, wages must be the same. To illustrate, the price the farmer gets for his product is his wage. As labor produces all products, the price of the products should be the price of the wages. We learn from government statistics that the producers get only 2-5 of what what the consumer rays a dollar for the producer gets only 40 cents. All produe CTS arc consumers. but all con sumers are not producers. What causes the complaint of high cost of living is when the producer with his 40 cents wishes to buy the product of some other producer, for which he re- eeived only 40 cents. but the price IS s1.o9. When the product passes from the producer to the consumer, the price changes from 70 cents to a dol lar. If the producer could get what the consumer pays. there would be no complaint of the high cost of living, rc matte what the price might be- I wish to say to Mir. Nj. that it is the same cause whether in this or other lands that governs the prices, and it is not the tariff.
 Yes, MT NJ is right, when he says: The whole thing is governed by the law of supply and demand, but the supply and demand law is vague, is a little different from what Mir M. has in mind. Labor supplies all the the private owners of all the money, demand 3-5 of all the products for the use of the money. Do you doubt this9 If so, read the comptroller of the currenoy's report This report gives s, ,50c,0sc as all the money and currency of all kinds in the Unit ed States. Less than one-half of this amount is in circulation among the people. It further says that the banks of the country have loaned out on notes and bonds, in round numbers, Is billion dollars. In round numbers there is s1,70O,e00, ,00O of all kinds of currency in irculation. Now, if you divide the 16 billion by 1,700,0O0,000
Norwich bulletin., 1911-11-10

you will find that the producers, that is the people, are paying interest or nine dollars where there is only one dollar in circulation. Put the inter est at , per cent. and the people are raying 27 certs on every dollar in cir This is supply and demand with a vengeance. Add to this 40 billion dol lars of real estate mortgage debt with interest at not less than , per cent and it is very evident that nobody must supply the demand for this m terest.
 Just who owns the money in Trance I am not prepared to say, only this, that it is privately owned. MT. M. seems to have his lesson well learned. Get back on the farm,'' says MT. M. He says: ITO reduce the cost of living. get back on the farm Yes, get back on the farm problem of the farmers producing mil- lions of bushels of produce more and selling it for millions of dollars less, as was the case in 1910 and 1909 t? And in the face of this condition the high cost of living was here all the time. How would MT Nj. like to work hard CT. back on the farm produce more and sell it for less. while the consumer complains of the high cost of living? All the money laws or tariff laws in the world cannot change the con- ditions. That is correct as far as it goes. All the present money laws cannot change the conditions, unless about changing the money laws, the system? Isn't it possible that it would change conditions for better? Think 1t over and let us know.
