u. S. MUST PUT
HOUSE IN ORDER
FOLLOWING WAR
Hardiy,g's Address at
Commercials An
niUersmy.

New YORK, May I4.-Tne cooper
alton of every factor of American
business and industry to put the
nations house in order after the
dislocation of war was bespoken by
President Harding last night at
dinner here celebrating the 125th
anniversary of the New York Com
mercial.
Agriculture, labor and business
management, the president declared,
must stand together in the confident
purpose of reconstruction. He as
serted that although the United
States did not want to live in isola-
ton and selfishness, it's duties to
the rest Of the world could best be
performed by giving it's attention to
the rehabilitation Of its own re-
sources.
On the part of the administration,
Mr.. Harding promised that govern
ment interference with business
would be expanded and broadeped.
while government cooperation with
all properly conducted businesses
won dlbe expanded and broadened.
He declared his purpose to reverse
the tendency in some quarters ito
regard business as dishonest until
it should prove itself honest, and to
regard bigness in business as a
crime"
Emphasizing the fundamental i'm
portance of agriculture, the presi-
dent asserted that the farmer was
entitled to "all the help the
government can give him without
injustice to Others" For the wage
Garner, he asked sufficient compen-
sation for comfort, education and a
margin of savings, while for every
other element in industry he urged
a fair opportunity to do its part in
the reconstruction task.
| Allied Loans.
Mr.. Harding also suggested tina,
the nations loans to the allies be
put in a more tangible form, thai
facilities of exchange be bettered
and that all the financial policies o1
the reconstruction period be sc
formulated as to protect the golt
standard.
! Draws Contrast.
The president drew a contrast be
tween the present times and tn,
days Of Washington when he said

retsarn oa bond to the ancestor depends
spof three factors: the rate Of interest

and the distance of the maturity d0te.
To figure the precise yield on bond at
is necessary TO use yield tables, but the
approximate yield cdn roughly be figured
out By the 5oIloaoing formula: Divide
the clostng quotation on a bond into
the rate of interest it pays, and the re-
salt will bq the annaeaJ retarm. II the
bond is selling below par yo@ mast
allow also for the appreciation Of the
principal. To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100, and d.
eide the remainder by the Number Of
gears the bond has to run before n.G~
ta.ritg. For example, If Ct 6 per cent
bond is selling ut 90 and has ten gears
to run, the onnuol return qoilI be 6.66
per cent. The difference betaoeem par
aud the market price will be 10 points,
subtrocting 30 from 100. Diuid3mg ten
points By ten gears, the qaotie,st soiH be

sult is 7.66 per cent, aoiU give yoW the

American goods are being shipped in

ing Kobe in Japanese ships in 1915
amounted to over 1,333,0O0 tons and
something oyer 100000 tons in 1917.
