Commodity Dollar" Was
Invented Many Years Age

The commodity dollar" was &C
tually in use in bingham a century
ago, states a writer in the Boston
Globe.
Manuscripts uncovered in the
Watertown Public Library by the
Federal Historical Sources Survey
show that bingham paid its min,
ister on commodity dollar basis
in 1903. The minister was Rev
Henry Ware, afterward the first
Hollis professor of divinity at Har-
ward.
Rev. Henry Ware went to Hing
ham in 1887 and the inference is
that his salary was $500 a year,
enough and plenty in a period of
low prices. But during the late sew
enteen-nineties there had been a
very great demand and high
prices for all the neceSsaries of
life and the minister was at his
wits end to make both ends meet,
for his salary remained stationary.
The remedy adopted by the par
lsh was to adjust his pay on the
basis of the average prices of the
great staples between 1887 and
1903, and this settlement of the
problem was accepted by the min
lister.

Cameroons Fit the Average
Mans Mental Picture of Africa

The Cameroons, former German
West African territory almost as
large as Germany itself, have been
mentioned in news reports with dis
cusSion of the possible return to
Germany of her pre-War African
possessions. The area is now ad-
ministered under mandates, the
greater part under French control,
but with a narrow strip of the north
western edge governed by Great
Britain.
"The average mans mental pic

Most visitors arrive in the
French portion of the Cameroons
through Douala, low lying port on
an inlet from the Gulf of Guinea.
Here are attractive homes of the
few European residents, and a
sprawling trading center with native
villages nearby. In the dry season
Douala is hot and breathless, in
the rainy season drenched in an
almost continuous doWnpour, with
an average rainfall of 13 feet. From

be those used by the ranchers
of Hawaii island, 200 miles
southeast of Honolulu.
With the same ease that ponies
on the western plains handle
troublesome steer, these island
mounts handle cattle in deep ocean
waters.
The 4,015 square miles comprising
that island contains many cattle
ranches, one of which is rated as
being among the largest in the en-
tire United States. On the island
only one harbor has dock facilities
whereby cattle destined for the Hon.
olulu market can be loaded direct
ly onto steamers. At all other ports
the cattle must be driven into the
sea, tied to small boats and carried

off the shore.

No horse lover could watc'' these
ponies work without a thrill of ap-

lariat slips over the neck of steer,
the pony goes to work. With no ap-
parent directions given by the rider,
the horse heads the baking steer
toward the water, gives a quick
last-moment pull to the lariat and
the steer is dragged into the surf
Nor does the pony stop its efforts
there. Swimming with easy powerful
grace, the pony guides the steer

about, swims back to shore and
