MATHEMATICS vs. THE ARTS.

The Mathematical Association of America has discovered that interest in the study of mathematics in high schools and college preparatory insti- tutions Is tagging.
 Under present methods of teaching, only the mathematically inclined are able to pursue the courses with any degree of interest or enjoyment. It will be good news to thousands of stu dents, badly winded after feverish pursuit of the elusive X, to learn that the association plans reforms.
 Mathematics has been dry for most students. Young minds that thrill to tle mysteries revealed by physics or chemistry have been found singularly calm and considerably cloudy after contemplation of the binominal theor- em. Extracting the cube root of an incomprehensible number has been the dullest sort of drudgery com pared with the study of the Ma poleonic wars or the glory that was Greece and the grandeur that was Rome. The melodies of dead poets and the masterpieces of literary geniuses have warmed hearts and fired minds which Euclid leaves cold and calm. The energy expended and the brain cells shattered in prodigious wrestling matches with decimal frac- tlons, logarithms, algebraic absurdi- ties, geometric obscurities and trlg- onometric absurditles have constituted an enormous waste.
 It is we'll that the mathematicians have awakened to the fact that their speciality needs humanizing.-Toledo Blade.

 Sheep and Lambs.
 All the offerings in the sheep div. ision cleared readily at strong to 25 cents higher prices. The bulk of the western lambs sold at $8.40 to $S.75 and feeding lambs $6.50 to $685.. Ewes sold mostly at $4.50 to $4.75.
 Horses and Mules. Though trade in horses and mules is materially short of normal fall pro- portions, demand has improved some in the past ten days. Quotations were unchanged.

KANSAS CITY WEEKLY MARKET REPORT

Kansas City, Mo, October 10. Urgent demand advanced hog prices 15 to 25 cents over last weeks close and the offerings were cleaned up in quick time. The top price was $8.45, bulk $7.75 to S8.40.

 TOday's Receipts.
 Receipts today were 36,000 cattle, $500 hogs, and 10000 sheep, compar- ed with 36,000 cattle, $500 hogs and 15,000 sheep a week ago, and 28,500 cattle, 8,750 hogs and 8,250 sheep a year ago.

BIG CATTLE SHIPMENT
 FROM NAVAJO COUNTY

Stock Inspector l.. c. Owens was at Cooley last week inspecting cattle for shipment for the Chiricahua Cattle Co. This company shipped LOGO head, all kinds and ages, including two cars of choice veal, the whole outfit going to southern California.

HUGE CATTLE SALES MADE
 IN WILCOX; 5000 HEAD SOLI

D. B. Clayton, inspector for the state livestock sanitary board at Will cox, informed Ed Stephens, secretary of the board, that 5000 steers and feeder cows had been contracted for in that vicinity, deliveries to be made in October and November. Clayton's letter also said that indications were that many more steers and feeder cows would be sold in the near future.
 The 5000 head of cattle contracted for, as reported by Clayton, does not include fat cows and veal, shipments of which will be considerable, even into December, according to Stephens.

NEEDS TOO MUCH ExERTIoN.

The line, Look what done for you and him and me-" is good American, but better American, I believe, would be, Look what I done for him and you and l." This, however, writes Ring Lardner in the Bookman, brings up subject to which one ought to be able to devote a whole volume, but one ain't goin' to. One is only goin' to state that mysterious rules govern the cases of personal pronouns in our language and one hasn't had time to solve the mysteries even since prohibi. tion.
 We say. He come up to me in the club" but we also say, He come up to Charley and I in the club," or even ''He come up to I and Charley in the club" Charley's presence in the club seems for "some reason or another," to alter my case. The other night I was reading play script by one of this country's foremost dramatists; and recurring in 1t was the stage d. rection, "A look passes between he and So-and-So." But this playwright wouldn't think of saying or writing, "She passed he a look"
 My theory on this particular point is that when the common American citizen, whom we will call Joe, was in his last year in school (the sixth grade), the teacher asked him how many boys there were in his family. He replied: "Just Frank and me-" "Just Frank and l." corrected the teacher. And the correction got Joe balled up.

ESPERANTO A SCHOOL COURSE.


 Esperanto, the artificial interna- tional language, has been ordered in troduced s an elective course in the commercial schools controlled by the Paris chamber of commerce.
 The language was studied by com mission, whose members reported favorably upon 1t after several tests. One test was the translation of three complicated documents into French and then translation of the French texts back into Esperanto. It was found there was no change in the sense.
 The introduction of Esperanto in all schools was recommended, not as substitute for any other language, but as a means of communication.

TAXES AND TARIFFS

The country is confronted with
two chief economic issues. One
is the restoration of prosperity.
The other is the financing OF
government without further jeop-
ardizing of prosperity. The tariff
and taxes are inextricably en-
tangled in both issues. One es-
sential of the revival of business
is foreign trade. That depends
to a great extent upon our tariff.
We have, for instance, a 45 per
cent tariff barrier against high
priced automobiles j. reta a.
ton France has erected ah equal
barrier against American cars.
The trade is ruined. England,
Italy, Belgium and others have
taken or will tal.e similar retalia'
tory measures if we bar their
goods indiscriminately. Argen'
tina has already shown displeas.
