the best in the following extract:
Hope. then. Is the only fit mood
for a man. Expectancy should be
the breath Of his nostrils. We have
a right to expect greater things. in the
realm of the physical. greater inven-
tions. greater discoveries. greater con-
quests over nature, greater corona
ticns Of mans genius and proves.
The nineteenth ctntury was wonder
full. the twentieth will be more Won
dcrful. II the tw%enty-frst will be
the most wonderful of all.
W are warranted in expecting
greater things for the nations. 1t is
incredible that their ugly moods and
ignoble practices should go on for.
ever. We are within the bounds of
reason when we expect war to cease,
and armed peace to be laid aside like
atoy outgrown. II the heavens are
singing of peace and good will. how
absurd to suppose that the earth will
always pflStle with instruments OF
slaughter!
I'VE have solid grounds for expect
ing great things for our country. our
obstacles can he surmounted, our foes
can be conquered. Demons ran he

nus of many woes. but both Of these
are durable. II we can break the
scepter of the dynasty of fevers which
have for centuries lorded it over the
region now traversed by the Panama
canal. why doubt that wide zones of

PRICE OF GOLD HARD
MATTER TO DETERMINE
From the Kansas CITY Star,

From the Kansas City Star.
What is the exact price of gold per
ounce?
The Star frequently is asked by tele-
phone to answer this question. 1t cannot
be answered., at least SO far as a compu-
tation running into "a figures shows. The
United States Geological Survey recently
published a statement that 1.-The present
exact value of gold Is $40. 81, 1884, 625, 1923 per
ounce" but that is not true. The law pro-
vides that 23.22 grains Of pure gold shall

act price of an ounce OF. gold It is neces-
isary to divide $50 grains by 1872 grains.
The dividend IN beyond "a igures-how
much beyond some patient arithmetician
may endeavor to ascertain some time.
Strictly speaking, the price OF gold new
er varies, because gold is it's own meas
ure OF price, though under some condi-
lions 1t may sell for slightly more or
slightly less than it's mint price, If some
person is more or less anxious to nave

Growth.

WaShingtOn-A statement of the
foreign trade of the Philippine Islands
for nine months ending September.
1912. given out by the bureau of in
sular affairs, shows total imports to
the value of $48. 1863, $50 and exports
$39, 929. 051. resulting in an increase over
the corresponding 1911 period of $12,-

trade by $S,079,S22 or an increase Of 36
per cent in imports and % per cent in
exports.
OF the large increase i'm import VAL
ues rice is h leading item and con-
stitutes approximately half. Imports
of rice during the nine months amount
ed to $11, 433 .2S3 against SIS. 1894, ola in the
corresponding period of 1911. In addi-
ton to this heavy increase in imports
of the staple ~foodstuffs of the islands
due to extreme emergency conditions.
there We're substantial increases in
other branches OF trade, notably in the
case of meat n dairy products, cot
ton goods, wheat flour and mineral
oils.
In the larger export trade for the
nine months of 1912 hemp is the lead
Ing factor. while there was a mate

extremely low price of hemp that has
prevailed for some time showed a
marked and steady upward movement

is some three miles from the center Of
Honolulu. and is easily reached by

Against this barrier the mighty rollers

great trick is to ride upon the first or

that subsequently form right on to the

The boards used are of light ma

inches wide. Upon this frail craft the

board riding requires a certain knack,
and the knack here is to send yOu

speed. To do this really successfully
you must develop certain muscles In
the arms and shoulders. You must learn
first how to lie fiat on the board in
deep water, how to balance yourself
when there, and how to send the frail
craft forward by using your arms like
a pair Of windrnills and working your
legs like the paddles, OF a canoe.
Having mastered these points. you
