NEW YORK. —Business in Satur
day's stock market fell considerably
with the great list easing slightly on
a large volume of week-end profit
taking. Operations for the rise were
In evidence, however, in several sec
tions of the list with thirty issues be
ing lifted to new peak prices for the
year. Fisher Body was again the
individual feature, adding more than
33 points to its ten-point gain of Fri
day by touching 203%. Other Indi
vidual strong spots were American
Waterworks, American Express. Fed
eral Light and Traction. Mack Truck,
Savage Arms and "Worthington Pump,
all up three to 5% points, and most
of them at the year's high.
Fnited States Cast Iron broke five
points to 137. as compared with a high
of 147 established a few days ago. and
then rallied a point from the low. Free
offerings of American Can forced that
stock down two points to 149.
Motors were in good demand de
spite announcement of another price
cut by one of the small companies.
New Highs in that group were record
ed by the Maxwell issues. Jordan.
White and Mack Trucks. Some good
buying also took place In the public
utility group, with LaClede Cas. Co
lumbia Gas and Electric and Radio
Corporation breaking through their
previous 1921 maximum prices. Rail
road shares attracted little specula
tive interest although New York, On
tar o Western, and Kansas City
Southern made new, Muir* and Atehi
rallied over a fC-'int. Several good.
* were recorded by the special
ti -s in some of which some pools are
bt i'eyed to bo operating.
Foreign exchange rates were sllght
, ly reactionary.
NEW YORK.—A /dock market
lmovt of unprecedented proportions,
with ilailyj .‘lock . ales averaging in

nate "l this week’3 financial markets.
While there was apprec’aMe slowing
♦it> in irading in the closing days of
the week, with an unusually heavy
yyoluwe of profit-taking, the high
prices were well maintained and there
were no breaks of any consequence.
Both stocks and bonds averages
e*'tablished new highs for the year
during iho week. Stiffening of time
money rates, however, brought about
rather active rell : nn of some of the
high grade corporation and govern
mental issues.

NEW YORK—Bond prices held firm
Saturday in a trading session tinged
with irregularity. Contrasting feat
ures were supplied by a brisk spurt
in New Haven issues to new high
levels for the year and the weakness
of Brooklyn Union Gas and Sinclair
Consolidated Oil issues Hens.
The favorable outlook for the-New
Haven Railroad’s refunding program
contributed to the strength of its
bonds, which led the rad list in popu
larity Saturday. Jumping almost four
points, the franc 7'a achieved a new
1924 high record at 93%, tvhile the 7's
mounted two points to 95%. Other ac

Sinclair Consolidated OH obligations
reacted on reports that the company
would market a {15,090,000 bond Issue
next week.
Strength of the motor shares pro
moted a wider demand for bonds of
automobile and trie companies. Max
well 7's advanced IV, to a new high

17H0LE COMMUNITY SHARES
IN BENEFITS OF THRIFT
By S. W. BTRAUB,
President American Society for
Thrift
THE prosldent ot a building and
loan association tn a small
Western town recently told of the
/•
\ ’ 1
8. W. STRAUS
that exactly 63 business firms bene
fited either directly through pur>
chases of materials and household
furnishings or Indirectly through
money spent by the 17 laborers.
This Is an Illustration ot some ot
the general community benefits that
come from personal thrift
tt was the thrift of only five fam
ilies that made possible the ereo
tlon ot the houses, yet practically
everyone ln the community ehared
ln the results, directly or Indirectly.
One sometimes hears the theory
advanced that thrift hurta business
because people who are economical
do not spend much money. In tor
mer years this fallacious reasoning
was much more prevalent than It la
today.
j The business man ln any commu
j nlty makes no mistake In encourag
ing thrift, even when looked at from
the most selflßh standpoint. Money
that Is saved finds Its way Immedi
ately Into the channels of trade,
and all lines of legitimate business
share ln the results.
All of this ts In addition to the
moral, mental and material advan
| tages to the Individual whose thrift
practices start the endless chain ot
I wholesome processes.
Community leaders can do noth-
I lng of greater constructive civic
value than to glTe all possible eo-
I couragement to thrift.

Panhadle to the north line of North Carolina, and has proved itself the best

CHICKENS are very susceptible to colds and to bacterial diseases and
should therefore be kept scrupulously clean. Often when one chick
en droops and dies, it Is too late to do anything to save the flock.
To keep the dock In tt clean and sanitary condition, dropping boards
should be placed under the roosts and should he cleaned every day. The
yard should bo spaded frequently and a formaldehyde whitewash used
to disinfect all- coops and all parts of the henhouse where mites may
hide during the day. It la easlor to keep tho flock from becoming sick
than it is to doctor them up afterward.

Gentlomeni
The bankers of this eity purchased a car of your SALSBURY Cotton Seed thie year and distributed
same over this county. Tha only regret I Hava ia that we did not purchase enough eeed to plant the entire
county. Customers of this Bank who used your seed have not only paid their accounts promptly this year,
but have paid a great deni on back obligations. At one customer has aply expressed it, your seed should
have been named “MORTGAGE-LIFTER.”
It ie impossible to say too much for your cotton. We will plant only BALBBURY another year.
Yours truly,
M. J. OWINGB, President.

More Loaves From a Barrel of Flour
By HURT BALL
(National Crop Tmprovomont Ssrvlce.l
„ t r T HEN 1 was :i hoy, the warehouses nnd elevators used to hang out
«VV a sign ’Cash for Wheat’," says Mr. Dennis A. Merriinan of the
American Stool and Wire Company, "but today flour is bought
entirely upon Its ability to make more broad, and wheat la not wheat
unless tt has a sutllclont quantity of the right kind of bread gluten. The
farmers have endeavored to get a more liberal grading for their wheat,
but the miller does not buy by grade, he buys by protein content.
“Tho three samples shown above oro made from tbs finest bpring
wheat flour, ordinary durum, which many farmers have been mistakenly
raising and red durum, which has no brend-mnklng values to boast of
A glaneo at the three samples will uonvinco you why it Is best to grow
only tho finest wheat.”

AMERICA’S LARGEST PLANTATION
GROWS SALSBURY EXCLUSIVELY
The Delta & Pine Land Company are
not seed merchant*. They are the largest
cotton planters in the world. They main
tain their own Experiment Department
under the direction of Professor J. W.
Fox and Mr. E. C. Ewing, where every
known variety of cotton is tested under
PRACTICAL CONDITIONS each year.
They go to this great expense that they
may know the most profitable cotton to
plant on their plantation.
Their Experiment Department tells
them SALSBURY is the most profitable
cotton in existence. The proof they be
lieve this to be true is that they plant over
25,000 acres in SALSBURY cotton each
year. If they could find a more profit
able cotton than SALSBURY they would
adopt it at once. They have produced
SALSBURY cotton not to sell the seed,
but to grow the cotton on their own plan
ation. They have a great deal more «t
stake in the profits from 25,000 acres of
cotton than from a few cars of seed each
Fall.
