A Costly Comma Some years ago there were enumerated in a tariff bill certain articles which might be admitted free of duty. Among them were foreign fruit-plants. But the clerk who copied the bill, instead of inserting the hyphen changed it to a comma, making it read “fruit, plants,” etc. It was a trifling error not worth noticing, but before it could be remedied the Government lost two million dollars, as all foreign fruits had to be admitted free of duty. Omitted punctuation marks or misplaced decimals may seem to be very trifling errors, but they will prove costly if permitted to develop the undesirable traits of carelessness and inaccuracy. . F.. Boyer

win Will to steer clear of the need of concealment Will to throw off, and not to collect resentment Will to learn that tact is the unsaid portion of what you think Will to decide that “Whither am I going?” is more important than “From whence came I?” Will to discover early that the real joy of living comes only from within Will to sing merrily on when all the rest of the world seems out of tune-- Will this, and you will be a lot happier as you journey down life’s pathway, my friend.
