• In the last few days many vegetables have been sold at the Berkeley 

 Garden City market. Several of our older citizens and many who have 

 entered of late have become more ambitious since the two market after- 

 noons. We can guess the reason easily. It is due to the silver dollars 

 which have come to the gardens. We do not censure the citizens in 

 their new interest, in their desire to obtain money. We all want it. 

 We all need it; but let us be careful how we get the dollar, and, after it 

 is ours, let us be careful how we use it. 



A brother and sister were talking to a man who was selling vege- 

 tables in an Oakland free market. "Brother bought 20 cents' worth of 

 groceries yesterday," said the sister, "and the clerk gave him back 80 

 cents, which he kept. The clerk thought the 50 cent piece which brother 

 gave him was a dollar." "Well, your brother will be a business man," 

 said the vegetable clerk. We are afraid such a boy will be a crooked 

 business man if he gets money in such a way. Anything that we obtain 

 which we have not earned is not got "on the square," whether it be a 

 dollar or an arithmetic problem. Make the vegetables worth the price; 

 give too large rather than too small a measure. 



The citizen who works faithfully and gives good weight earns, and 

 so deserves, his dollar. It is right to recognize his labor, but now what 

 is the dollar to do? It might buy a pair of skates for himself or for his 

 sister. It might buy him candy and gum for himself, or a present for 

 mother. Well, what do you think it ought to do? 



Here is what we ought to remember: First, to be sure that the 

 dollar is earned "squarely"; and, second, that it does good work in 

 giving some pleasure to ourselves, but more to our best friends.
