The sum of three billions which Democrati authorities have decided upon as the amount they will charge the new tariff bill with adding to the cost of living is derived from statements put out by the “Fair Tariff League.” That organization, so fer as the last congress Was concerned, seemed to be constituted of but one man, who claimed his residence to be in Wisconsin, | but whose stationery showed his offices to be in New York, while he himself lived in Washington and conducted most open lobb*# against the en- actment of any tariff.

The latest announce. ment of Secretary Weeks contains the information that 58 military «stations in the United Sates will be eliminated, They include cantonments, quarter- master depots, flying fields and ord- nance pants. @he real estate of these stations will either be sold or leased. Where they are leased they will have & revocable licen) so that in case of emergency they may be taken over by the United States government. This reduction of military stations will re- sult in the saving annually of many mi lions of dgllars. Caritonments leased to the several states in which they are located for use of the ional Guard, will be maintained by the several states with. out any expen» whatever to the fed- eral government. They are Camp Pike, Arkansas; Camp Lee, Virginia; Camp Jackson, South Carolina; Camp Grant. Illinois; Camp Dodge, Iowa, and Camp Funston, Kansas. Camp Kearney, California, and Camp Sherman, Ohio, are completely abandoned by the War department and turned over to the Veterans’ Bu- reau. The following camps are abandoned without any reservation and all prop- erty and real estate to be sold. Ft. Dade and Ft. DeSota, Florida; Ft. Apachee, Arizona; Camp Shannon, New Mexico and Camp Hidalgo, Texas. The quartermaster depots at the following places will be abandoned: Atlanta; Seattle; Omaha; New Orleans: Ft.

It is a medium for dstributing or transfer. ring wealth without transporting bulk jin é@very transaction of exchanxe be- tween man and man. It is a symbol or token which smply signifies at any given moment in whose hands the wealth it represents resides. And at any given moment it may serve to transfer wealth from one man to |another or it may be converted into wealth by surrendering it therefor. Gold coin is really what {s called commod ty money. So that when gold is paid for an article the process is merely that of exchanging one com modity for another. This is, in effet, barter, In illustration of this it is only necessary to give the facts in regard to ihe gold dollar. The doilar weighs 25.8 grains. It is nine-tenths fine, so that 23.32 grains are pure gold. The Government pays a fixed price of $20.67183 an ounce for gold. Divide 480 grains by 23.22 grains and it will be found that the ounce of gold will make exactly 20.67183 dollars. Since the coinage of gold is free, the jovernment pays fo rthe minting and the one tenth alloy of copper, thus stamping on this little disk merely the value of the pure gold it ‘con- tains. Gold as & commodity has been uscd as a medium of exchange from time immemorial. Its value for this pur- pose is due to a unique group of properties. It is malleable, duct'le, non-corrosive. durable, easily divis- ible‘and its identliy is perfect. The. [supply is limited, the demand for it is steady, and its bulk {# small in pro- portion to its value. It is easily transported and easily guarded. Not only is the production limited but much of this is absorbed by the arte, It has fulfilled more require- ! | The oun-e contains 480 grains. | —By Fontaine Fox! r Frost Time I know where a chestnut tree, Upon a graying bill, Last night saw the frost come, Last night felt its chill; And now today the chestnuts, and ripe and broan, | Every time the wind stirs Like rain come tumbtiig down. know where two boys are, Eager for the day To pass and have schoo! let out, So they may be away | Aarons the browning meadows And to the nut grove’s hem— FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13. 1922. $$ K.
