Commercial Principle

Gresham's law is a principle in
finance and political economy,
formulated about the middle of the
Sixteenth century by Sir Thomas
Gresham, founder of the London
Royal exchange. The principle is !:
bad money drives out good money
from circulation. The good coin
(full weight and standard in purity)
will be boarded and the worn and
thin, or light coins, will be used.
Good money will also be used for
export to other countries. where it
will obtain more in exchange, while
the light coins will be used at home,
thus depreciating the national cur
rency."

"Older Than the Hills"

Mans history IS brief compared
to that Of the tulip tree, according
to the American Forestry associa-
tion, for this giant of the woods
is literally "dlder than the hills"
Fossil remains reveal that back in
the Cretaceous period before noun
tain-forming disturbances took
place and when reptiles were DOM
inant on land and in the sea, there
were more than ten species Of tulip
trees In the temperate belt which
then extended across Europe, Asia
and North America.
Magnificent tulip trees are found
In the Great Smoky National park
some Of which are approximately
200 feet tall and are from six to
ten feet in diameter. 1t has been
said that the tulip is the finest de-
ciduous tree on the North Ameri-
can continent.
