zer's children, at the respective ages Of
0, II and l3. who attend the Delta
public school, we're neither absent nor
tardy during the entire year. This rec
ord is all the more remarkable when
one takes into consideration the fact
that these children come distance of
two miles to school. In the punctuality
of the Sweitzer children there is strong
evidence of the right kind of home
training. Some people wonder why
their children are deficient in study, de-
pertinent, punctuality. etc, and blame
the child. The fault in a majority of
cases lies with the parents. On home
training, to a large extent, depends the
kind of man or woman the child grows
into and it is fact that but few parents
seem to realize.

RALLY ESTABLISHED AT NOON

NEW YORK, August 12.-Prices Of vir-
tually all the active stocks crumbled away
Immediately upon the opening of the stock
market today under the pressure of the
selling movement which began last week.
A violent decline of from 2 to points
per share on these stocks. as compared with
the closing prices of Saturday, was shown
by the first quotations.
The Pacific group of stocks were the
greatest sufferers, Northern Pacific selling
Off points within few minutes after the
opening. while losses of 3 or more points
were scored in Canadian Pacific, Union Pa
cific and Missouri Pacific. Other heavy
losers were Baltimore and Ohio, Louisville
and Nashville and Southern Pacific.
Industrials Tumble.
Some of the industrial stocks also felt the
selling movement severely. and losses of 2
to 4 points here and there were shown
early by Anaconda Copper, Consolidated
Gas, American Smelling and Colorado Fuel.
The chief feature of the first trading was
Reading, which opened with sale of 10000
shares at so to 50, or a maximum loss of
"a points, as compared with saturdays
closing prices.
At IT, end Of the first half hour the mar
ket became more steady, and some of the
stocks which had shown the heaviest de-

Rally at Noon.
After considerable recover.es in the first
hour, in which Canadian Pacific, Northern
Pacific Union Pacific and Anaconda Cop

losses, prices again fell back under selling
by spectators who had bought during the
morning decline and were taking profits on
the subsequent recovery.
Effective support during the second hour
by spectators for an advance checked the
spasmod.c recessions, and by noon the rally
was well under way. Trading however, was
not active and the market became quiet
and steady.

We pay long prices for the flower when

NEW YORK, August l2.-Conservative
stock market observers say this morning
that as yet they unable to see any
thing in the general situation that indi-
Gates a turning of the tide toward perma-
nent Improvement. In their opinion Wash
ington and various state authorities will
continue to be disturbing factors for some
little time, as apparently they are only
we'll started on their program with respect
to the corporations. 1t is pointed out that
until the most important interests, which
are in a position to get the best inforna-
tion can foresee some decided change In
this program they will not be disposed to
give substantial support to the market,
but, on the contrary, will be inclined to
lessen even their investment holdings.
i
Every one familiar with financial affairs
In this country and at the most important
European centers realizes the great i'm
portance of the present monetary condi-
lions. Until the situation with respect to
the corporations becomes clearer it Is con-
fidenuy believed that there will be a gen.
eral boarding Of money, and that, there
fore, material relief to the money market
cannot be expected through the liquidation
or securities. even though that process may
be carried considerably further.
me best authorities say that permanent
relief to the money market can come only
through slowing down in general bust
ness. and they point out that this cannot
be easily and quickly brought about in
view OF the very satisfactory crop
dltions and the enormous volume OF bust
ness now under contract 1t is believed,
however, that general financial conditions
Will absolutely force retrenchment in all
lines of business to an extent that will
bring considerable money into the market
In view of the greatly disturbed condi-
lions regarding corporations generally, it
is taken as fact that no important financ-
Ing will be undertaken in the near future
and that all efforts along this line will be
confined simply to providing funds to meet
Imperative needs. Although large inter-
ests in the Hill roads have desired for some
tlmc to carry out plan for the Great
Northern to buy the equity of the Northern
racine In the Burlington, those who are
familiar with the matter say that undoubt-
edly 1t will be held in allegiance for an in
DEFINITE period at least until the general
situation presents a much more encouarg-
Ing aspect than 1t does just now
