Oats-Oats were very erratic, making
new tops for all deliveries early only
to lose the gain and close unchanged to

ILL business life affords perhaps
the best opportunity to test the
Il practical value of the Golden
Rule. Il is significant that business
men are coming more and more to see
and advocate this rule-not merely as
a result OF moral teachings received
outside of business circles. but as
conclusion which business experience
itself has forced upon us.
In business affairs. the practice OF
the Golden Rule stands for all that is
honorable. and progressive. and just.
The business houses which attain a
measure of prestige and wholesome
reputation are those in which this
spirit IN some degree obtains
Ard perhaps no wrong trait In the
personality of a business more quickly
receives the censure ana discredit OF
other business men than does the alb
sence Of fairness-which IS but an
other way of saying the absence or the
spirit of the Golden Rule
With Il record Of centuries TO attest
its value. and the evidences in its IA
vOr accommodating day by day as men
become more enlightened. the Golden
Rule stands preeminent as the world 5
greatest business maxim
The topping towers Of vast business
interests that have been built on a less
worthy basis show the insecurity of all

built by the government and two or
three million dollars have been spent
in this way within the past Il years
The appropriations OF congress for
road building now amount to some
thing like 100000 per annum. and, in
addition to this. about 100000 more
is annually gotten from the Alaska
fund. collected in licenses and other
for road building The roads and

Arithmetic Once Was Common.
At the time of the colonization of
America in the first half of the seven
teenth century arithmetic was not con-
sidered essential to boys education
unless he was to enter commercial life
or certain trades. The instruction in
arithmetic was often given in another
school, called a writing school, or a
reckoning school. When arithmetic
was taught In the grammar school it
was very rudimentary. Not only was
this true, but among the nobility and
the aristocracy Of the educated, arith-
metic was looked upon as common"
'tvf1e," mechanic" because it was the
accomplishment Of clerks, artisans,
tradesmen and others who bore no
sign of hera1dry. Consequently 1t was
beneath the dignity of a boy unless he
was "1ess capable of learning and fit
test to be put to trades"
