Farmville Enterprise A. C. MONK. Puclisbcr. (i. A. ROUSE. Editor and AsA. Mgr. One Dollar JJic year? In adva.tcc. THURSDAY, MAR. 12. 1913 Many solutions have been of feted for the cause of the piescnt high co?l of living from time to time. The tariff, our currency system, the trend of population toward the cities and many others are the. favorite topics when the co& of living is ciscussed in the meamwhUe the consumes and housewife continue in their pur suit of the elusive penny. At no time so far has the question been out into cold figures. The fol lowing computation shows how grabhically why the penny is so elusive. Here a perfotftly good Lincoln penny is made to obliter ate itself by the simple reflate ment of a proposition. T wo boys have 60 apples which they'divide The first sells 30 at 3 for 1 cent The second sells his 30 at 2 for 1 cent. The firft gets 10 cents and the second 15 cents. Their total for selling 60 apples at 5 for 2 cent is 25 cents. Another boy has 60 apples and sells them for 5 for 2 cents and receives only 24 cents. The question is, what be comes of the other cent. In both instances the number of apples sold for 2 cents is the same yet the total amount differs by 1 cent. Why? When you can solve this (.ueition to the satisfiuflion of jourself and friends you may nominate yourself as a member of the committee to solve the high coil of living.

Mansbridge was more or less well known to scientists through hit association with the late. Professor Romanes during the tat ter's efforts to gat some new' light ob tha mental equipment of apes. They succeeded in teaching one of kfanabridge'e charges to count up to fire, without the use of any trick lign. They also educated the same animal so that she could tell the difference between white and any other color, hut beyond this djatiuc tion her color sense did not go. Vanabridge himself taught his apea many simple tricks. One of the moat striking of these waa the feed ing of one orang by another. Al though these animals are very greedy, one of thesa, when handed a cop of milk and a spoon, and told to feed hi* sister, would do so until the keeper gare him permission to help himself. Mansbridge was unusually inoeaasful in handling hi* monkeys, and could do very much as he liked with the younger one*.
