India Rearlsh on Silver.

A London bullion house says the re-
cent fall in silver prices at Bombay
throws light upon the bearish atti-
tude of. the Indian bazaars which has
obtained for some time past, and also
upon the way in which the Indian peo-
pie have been content with greatly re-
duced imports for industrial consump-
ton. 1t is more than probable that
many individuals whose silver jewell
ry deprecated seriously when the In
dian minis were closed to free coin
age have taken advantage Of the high
prices compared with those ruling for
the last twenty years or so and have
turned their silver bangles into silver
coin.

HISTORIC Pennant Sold.

An interesting relic was sold in
Glasgow the other day. 1t was the
old yellow silk pennant of the Earls
of Marchmont, on which are the st.
Andrews cross, the lion rampant, and
other heraldic devices. The pennant
is in a fragile condition and is thought
to date back to the fourteenth or fif-
teenth century. 1t is satisfactory to
know that this interesting relic Of an
earlier day was purchased by Scots
man, and therefore will remain in

Numerals Copied From Our Fingers

That the fingers of the hand held
up or counted off was the beginning
of arithmetic and of our system of
numbers is the belief of DR.. George
M. Gould.
Proof that the fingers were used as
designators of numbers, according to
Doctor Gould, comes directly from the
Roman numerals. One finger was the
origin Of figure l, the second equaling
II, the third III and the fourth I'LL.
The V was the fork which was made
by the thumb stuck up opposite the
first finger.

BOARDING AND PROFITEERING

epa by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
To sell farm equipment on the basis
of what it would cost the dealer TO
replace it may be considered profteer-
ing, according 70 q statement issued
recently by the office of farm equip
ment control of the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Persons who have sold equipment
at replacement values when costs were
high must continue to do so If prices
go down, even though such sales bring
less than the original cost price or
the stock. Moreover, those whose sell
ing price is fixed In relation to high
replacement prices must restOck i'm
medi;tely and carry the same quantity
of equipment throughout the high
price period as they had at its begin
ming, in order not to profiteer. Those
who desire to sell out without replac-
ing their stock should not sell at a
prevailing high price, but at cost plus
q fair usual profit.
1t will be considered boarding II
manufacturer or dealer holds, con-
tracts for, or arranges for more equip
ment than the reasonable demands OF
his business require. Dealers finding
themselves with excess stock or hand
through inadvertence should sell their
excess holdings at cost plus a fair

The boarding of farm equipment is
defined by the act OF congress of Au-
gust 10, 1917. Manufacturers or deal
ers who hoard will be dealt with IN
der the terms of this act Of congress
and not under the ruling as to replace
