with SO much sand that steel blocks
twelve inches thick placed over the
mouth of the well to defect the flow
were perforated in few hours and
had to be replaced. The casing with
which the wells were lined was often
torn to shreds and eventually colaps

Deer Shooting in Bay State

Deer Shooting in Bay State
After having protected deer
for ten years, Massachusetts
granted an open season of six
days. In this period 1000 deer
were killed by hunters who had
paid the state $4,000 for the
privilege. Selling at $50 per
head on the hoof deer for
which it had no particular use
was a stroke of business on the
part Of Massachusetts that
makes the meat trust seem
amateurish. Naturally, the
sport was not very good, the
creatures having become so
tame through long immunity
that they might have been
knocked in the head with the
butts of rifles had this been in
accord with the ethics govern
ing the amusement of slaugh-
ter. Springfield Republican.

is related that a school teacher
out in this general direction
was teaching a class of hopefuls
how to spell. Resorting to the
inductive method, she asked
the class, "what does f e-e-t

Then she asked, what is it of
which a COW has four and l
have only two?" AS with one
voice the whole class broke the
silence with an asnwer that
was entirely conclusive, and
the teacher abandoned that

STOCK PRICES
CO UP AGAIN
Liberal Advances Noted All
Along the Line in Wall
Street Securities.
TRADERS IN MUCH MORE
CHEERFUL TREND OF MIND
Statement of Chairman Gary
That Trust Decision Is Harm
less, Begets Optimism.

NEW YORK. Feb. oS.-Liberal ad
yances in prices on the stock exchange
today placed stocks we'll on their way
10 the level OF week ago. The upward
movement was broad enough TO show
that the market had recovered its poise.
The opening was strong and after an
unlniportant dip in the first hour. prices
held firm on a higher level.
In the afternoon there was a sharp
advance. which was significant chiefly
because the most important stocks led in
the movement. Atchison gained two
points and Union Pacific, Reading,
United States Steel, New York Central
and others advanced moro than a point.
Profit taking at the close reduced the
gains somewhat Trading was largely in
the hands of professional spectators.
Technically the market is stronger than
at any time since the rate decisions were
announced last week. That development
induced not only liquidation but fairly
heavy short selling, with the result that
there was growing uneasincss on the
short side today and caeerness To cover
was responsible in no small part for the
upward trend OF prices.
Traders were I'm a more cheerful frame
of mind and there were developments
which give point TO their optimism. Chief
among these was the statement of the
chairman of the United States Steel cor
pnration that he expected no permanent
Ill effects from the decision against the
railroads and that the steel corporations s
orders had increased this month, His
statement was used effectively by bull
ope rators in bidding up prices.
The monetary situation was without
material change here. although more
than the usual shifting of loans took
place in connection with the payment OF
over 500 900 600 in interest and div-
dends falling due tomorrow.
Transactions In stocks during the
month ended today were the liShtcst
since last September and the smallest Of
any February since 1897. In no day
we're a million shares dealt In. Bond
sales were not large, but exceeded The
recent average.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, S2.451, 600. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
