To figure the precise yield on a bond It
approxinate yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on bond into the rata
below par you must &llow also for the
appreciation OF the principal To do this
subtract the market quotation from par,
or 100, and divide the remainder by the
number OF years the bond has TO run be-
fore maturity. For example, IL a. per
cent bond Is selling at 90 and has ten
years 10 rum tho annual return Will be
$3.50 per cent. The difference between par
and the market price will be 10 points,
subtracting so from 100 Dividing ten
points by ten years. the quotient will be J.
This figure Is to be added to SIS. which
IS this annual return, and tha result. 7.66
per cent, will give you the approximate
yield.

WONDERFUL CHARACTER STUDY PORTRAYED IN
 'THE SHERIFF'S SON

Do you like photoplays with big problems, vital stories and vigorous characterizations? Of course. In oth- CT words, you like a truly human, stirring play with a good plot That's one of the many reasons why Charles Ray stands right near the top of fav- orite actors.
 In "The Sheriff's Son." playing to- night at the Empress, he gives a won derful character study, in presenting the role of boy, born in the west influenced by q terrible prenatal fear that amounts to shrinking physical cowardice; reared and educated in the east, and returning to his birthplace to face the same conditions that ex. isted and caused his fathers death.
 It is one of the strongest roles ever played by Charles Ray, and one of the best pieces of work he has ever done It's story with vivid plot, thrilling action and a highly satisfactory fin. ish. IR other words, it's another Charles Ray knockout" that you cant afford to miss.
 And to complete the program there will be an entertaining educational reel, and two reel Mack Sennett comedy. "The Ladies' Tailor" that will keep you cuckling between laughs.

PROGRESS COMES SLOWLY.

Progress toward prosperous conditions is being accomplished slowy-very slowly It be- comes increasingly evident from day to day that a return to anything like the boom period that busi- ness enjoyed during the war and for the two years pollowlng 1t, cannot be expected return for long time, if Probably it is not desirable that if should return for it period of abnormal and unhealthy prosperity
 But the important point just now is that progress IS being made, however slowly.

The, Sales Tax Before Congress.
(New York POst.)

ss (New York Post)
 Former advocates of the sales frankly ex- pressing their disappointment the recent presenta tion of the for this measure before the Senate Finance Committee. The statement which has been so frequently repeated by the sales protagonsts that the profits tax has increased the cost of living by 23 per cent, while the proposed sales would add only F per cent to the final selling price of an article, duly harped upon before the com mttee and promptly challenged by doubting Sena- tors. The Department of Justice has always been given the authority the assertion that the profits tax has added 23 cent to living costs But it appeared after inv estigaton by of the skeptical commit tteeman that what this department had actually shown that all taxes Federal State and local, aggregated about 23 of each dollar that the average consumer expended In thus straight ening out the record the committee much of the ground from under the feet of the sales tax advocates
 The spokesmen for the tax had better success in seeking to that the sales would add only 3R per cent to the final cost of consumers pur- chases To argue that the tax would be passed on to the consumer in period when prices recedng naturally requires no little ingenuity, and to admit that the tax in some instances may have to be ab- sorbed by the merchant is at to condemn it as discriminatory. It became obvious, the hearings proceeded, that the claims for the sales tax the ground of its simplicity could hardly be sustained when there were many differences of opinion with regard to it's probable operation.
 It also appeared that the committee not espe- cially impressed with the view that the working of the tax in the Philippines afforded reason trying the measure in this country The oft re- peated statement that the people will pay this tax
 without feeling it not happy argument. Such claim is hardly consistent with the principle that every taxpayer should be conscious of his contrbu- tion to the public treasury if his interest in gov ernment is to be retained. One reason for the out cry against the heavy Federal expenditures today IS the fact that existing taxes with all their imper- fections have at least the virtue of pnchng rather than of chloroforming the taxpayer. It is daily coming more evident that the safe for the business men of the country is to accept the mendations of Secretary Mellon rather than to fly to such dubious fiscal experiment the sales tax.

RESTORING GRANTS BIRTHPLACE.

 General Grant born on April 27, 1922 in Mount Pleasant, Ohio. The house in which he was born fell into the hands of tinerant snowman and bought from him by the late Henry T. in 1888. It stands the Ohio State Fair Grounds. The Ohio Secretary of Agriculture in whose custody the cabin rests is opposed the project of restoration to it's original site. As interesting
 Official opposition, however should not be allowed to put damper on the movement. It would be much more interesting set up in Mount Pleasant than it can possibly be in its present abiding place.

of a republic is that these Jacka votes must be catered to- Commenting on the Admrals speech the Ma ,hester Guardian said:
 Among the many points forgotten by the distinguished American sailor, whom we all like even when he puts into passing diff culties-are facts that the Sim Fein party and the murder gangs who profess to be doing it's work are just about distinct from each other as the British Government and the other murder gangs which profess to be doing it's work; that the most striking point in Ireand's relation to the great not the insane effort of few wild extremists to help the Germans but the great number and excellent quality of Irish soldiers who abounded not only in Irish, Australian, and Canadian, but also in Eng fish and even Scottish regiments and that more remarkable degree of partic1- patton by Irishmen in the overthrow Of Ger many only prevented by the folly of few anti-Irsh politicians at the War Office and elsewhere who choked off the great re- cruiting movement started by John Red mond
 .tHH By ignoring such facts while he stresses others Admiral Sims, no doubt with the best of intentions, assmilated himself to be an incorporate kind of English party man. It is a pity, because he is personally worthy to cut a much better figure than that and because it is painful to find any fault at all with great officer in the navy of a friend.
 It is seldom indeed that any officer in that most admirable American service be accused of saying the word too much too little, in the way of friendiness, that outruns knowledge discretion.
