WHY PRICES

Gold Used In Abraham's Time
Still Utilised TOdnyj Accuinu-

Copyright, 1917. Western Newspaper onion,
In these days of high prices we hear
much about the lowered purchasing
power of gold. 1t Is asserted II sup
ply of the precious metal is constantly
growing larger, due to the accumula-
tons Of centuries, with the result that
gold is becoming cheaper. Consequent
ly, more money Is required to buy 2
suit Of clothes today than twenty years
ago. because the standard of monetary
value is reduced. We pay more. but
have more; SO things are evened up.
Most Of us do not realize the extent
to which gold is conserved and used
Over and over again. An authority on
money once said that in all probability
the gold serving during the time OF
Abraham, the Israelites and Solomon
Is still utilized today. Perhaps the
gold contained In the ring on your hng.
er once graced the hand of Cleopatra
After q moments reflection his state
ment seems quite reasonable. Gold
has always been considered extremely
precious. Jewelry and other articles
made from 1t have been cherished and
passed On from generation to genera
ton. OF course, some escaped when
articles Of gold r placed In tornbs
with the dead. But the world Is real
ly deprived Of 1t only temporarily, f0r
these , same burial places nre being
opened now and the contents removed
And recently a movement was started
to prevent gold composing dental iill
ings in dead people from being buried
The Ture Of gold" offers nun an In

covered and explored, empires hav'
been extended, vars have been pro
voked-all In the eternal search o
gold. Some, q very few, have been re
warded In their search and lived com
fortably ever after. But many hav'
found that gold IL a mirage, ever slip

France on the very spot where the
Frenchman was born. C0mstock's
ranch Is today n mass of desolate
ruins.
1t Is easy to see why man has from
the first preferred gold as a material
for coins. Most important is its high
value, which has made possible coins
of large denominations in convenient
sizes. With gold no such proceeding
as employing a cart to carry the peck

ping with their iron money, is neces-
sary. ,
Sometime or other In the history Of
the world almost every material has
been used for coins, but non to the
extent that gold has. Shells have been
in use for a long time In Africa and
the East Indies, also at one time in
| China. Iron was used in Sparta under
the laws of Lycursus; also used, nc
cording to Caesar, among the ancient
Britons In the form Of bars. 1t took Il
wagonload Of Spartan iron money to
buy an OK. The Spartans used iron
because 1t was so awkward and they
wished to discourage acquisition of
wealth. The inhabitants Of Bysantium
and the Japanese used iron. Coins Of
tin were struck by Dionysius Of SYRIA
cuse. Platinum was tried In Russia.
Lead is still used in Burmah nickel In
Belgium, United States and Germany,
Glass was used ut n time for subsl.
diary coinage In Egypt and Sicily.
Copper was and is also widely used.

transactions by the method known q
barter. And barter existed before m
began to write!
Let III Imagine for the moment ne
are In a community that exchanges
products by the barter system. II you
are q farmer and want q horse to pun
your pillow, you will go from neishbof
to neighbOr endeavonng to make IN
exchange. Perhaps you several
extra cows. iou will endeavor TO nnd
someone who needs two cows and who
wishes to dispose Of o horse. OF course,
you will not expect to ind such a per.
on Immediately and a great deal Of
time will probably be consumed 10 10
eating him. Then when b point OF
negotiations Is reached you will expe'
Renee difficulty In coming to an agree
ment with your neighbOr as to whether
the two cows are equal In value to the
horse. Perhaps II Will be necessary
for one Of you to throw In. to balance
the scales. q bushel OF oats and q pig.
After much wrangling the transaction
will be completed and you Gun ride the
horse home.
After yon have barter4d several
times you will probably begin to think
1t IL rather u clumsy method. You Will
wonder vaguely whether there isn't
something that could be established as
q unit OF understanding that can Dc
recognized by all as standard ana used
In transferring property from q TO
another.
In view Of your previous HE In MOD
ern times you Will no doubt take gold
or silver AS something universally con
sidered us precious and standard, and
make 1t Il unit OF value. At hrst you
will probably value the metal purely
by Its weight and use 1t In some such
form as bars. Perhaps for two bars
q man Will be able to buy a farm.

above words. he felt q chill come over
him and would have recanted u be
could. but II was too late.
Mr.. B0wser went away. and he
didn't get his normal feeling back
until he reached home. Then be had
about forgotten the Incident that the
farmer had accepted his invitation.
and that he would Y e show up was q
thing to be regarded as impossible. He
remarked to Mrs. BOwser that he
didn't buy the land. but said nothing
further: but the other day he was
treated to the surprise OF his life. As
he came up to dinner he saw four
children at his gnte, as II awaiting his
appearance. When he came nearer
they all rushed for him, and seized his
clothing wherever they could. and
shouted q glad welcome to him. He
was nOnplused for a moment. and then
he recognized the lonely children OF
the lonely farmhouse.
"What are you doing herer' In .
not unkindly voice.
"Why. we have come to stop with
you a week." was the reply. paw and
NAV are In the house. and your wife
has been awfuliy good to us. She has
shown u every room In the house and
nil Of US have patted the cat"
Mr.. BOwser came near falntinl
away, but got the grip on his emo
lions and managed to climb the front
steps and open the door. The farm
er and his wife were In the hall II
greet him with O~utstretched hands
and the farmer shouted:
Here's the old boy himself! Yp'
invited Us to stay a week with you
and We have come to stay"
Mr.. Bowser did not look at Mrs
Bowser. He was afraid Of fallinI
dead IL he did 50. When Dime
was served all trooped down, an'
the farmer and his flock ate as neye
before. They CARRIED the burden o
the conversation, and they enjoye'
themselves as If 1t had been thei
first circus. The evening was wor'
away in some old way, and at te
O'Clock Mr.. Bowser faced Mrs. Bow
ser In their own bedroom. He wa
prepared to die, and he was going
die as a brave a should.
"Welw she queried, as she locke
him In the eyes.
Don't say one word-nOt on
word" he whispered. III you'll 8
through with this thing, I will 81,
you fifty dollars in cash to buy clotht
with"
She said nothing further. and II
rest of the week was devoted to II
family without a complaint. Th'
family had what the farmer called
~rip-roaring old time. They drumme
on the piano; they almost drove II
cat mad; they destroyed two
three rugs; they broke up furnitur
:, and they blew out the gas. Final
the day came when they were to d
$ part. They remained just a week

hands over again, and say to Mrs.
Bowser:
'Tell the old boy that ! shall al-
ways love him for this, and you can
take It that we shall be grateful to
you as long rs we live. Tell him that
the melancholy Is gone, and the
loneliness Is gone, and the first thing
shall do when I reach home will be
to put a new hinge on the gate, and
hustle around to brighten up things"
And when Mr.. Bowser reached
home, hours later, all that Mrs. Bow

"They got of about three o'clock"
"Oh, they did, chi" was his reply
and he felt In his vest pocket and
