OF unusual interest is the derivation
Of the word STERLING" as applied to
something that is genuine, pure, un-
adulterated, or of excellent quality"
The original form of the word was
''easterling." The Ea jterlings were
the north Germans, or the merchants
of the Hanseatic league, the original
'moneyers" of England The name
of these merchants came to be applied
to coin or goods of a fixed standard
value, answering all tests. In the
time of Edward / We find an English
coin issued of the designation of a
dinar or dinarius. called sterling"
Since that time the word STEERING
has been applied to the English pound,
which before the war was regarded as
the best value in the world.

 Immediately after the action of the house, democrats agreed at a party eau GUS to stand solidly against the measure, enactment of which was urged yesterday by President Harding in an address to a joint session of congress.
