BIG SLUMP IN BELL
TELEPHONE STOCK
Drop of 53s Points Yesterday Sent 1t
to 11o1s, the Lowest Point Touched
Since 1oos--Nearly a To-
Point Loss in Week.

Boston, Dec. l6.-American Bell Tele-
phone stock, which on rumors of gov
eminent ownership or control or indie
pendent competition in some of the
larger centers, has been on the steady
down for days, took tremendous slump
yesterday, especially in the last half
hour or so of the market There was
heavy selling, more than 5000 shares
changing hands, and the price fell from
ll5% in Boston and ll5h in New York,
the Saturday closing prices, to ll01s, a
loss of 53s points, which brought it to
the lowest point since 1908, just after
the panic, when the stock sold at l0l.
At yesterdays low price the stock on
an s per cent. dividend basis pays IA
per cent.
In 1902 American Bell Telephone stock
sold at 1856, the highest point it ever
reached and then the dividend rate was
only IA per cent. Since 1908 the high
est point reached was 1875 in 1911.
This year the highest was lao early in
the year. A week ago yesterday the

TINKER DEAL is
DECLARED OFF
Cincinnati Baseball Club Directors Re-
fuse to Ratify Herrmann's
Agreement.

Cincinnati, o., Dec. l6.-The board OF
directors of the Cincinnati baseball club
yesterday refused to ratify August Herr
mann's sale Of Joe Tinker to Brooklyn
for $4,000
Immediately after this decision was
reached, President Hermann sent a tele-
gram to President Ebbets of the Brook
lyn club, telling him that the deal in so
far as cash alone was concerned was off,
but that another deal that would include
Yingling or Ragon and Moran or Stengel
with cash consideration might be con-
sidered
Hermann made private agreement
with Ebbets last week which allowed
Brooklyn to have Tinker for $4,000 in
cash with the understanding the Gin
cinnati club should give Tinker $4,000
for signing with Brooklyn.
The telegram from President Herr
mann to President Ebbets read as fol-
lows:
"The board OF directors absolutely dis
approves of the agreement to sell Tink-
er for cash. They want players in ex-
change. Ii you can make deal with
Tinker to play with Brooklyn, submit
to us a proposition which will include
either Pitchers Yingling or Ragon, or
0utfelders Moran or Stengel, with cash
equivalent for difference"

Total Production in the
United States This
Year
APPROXIMATELY IL
PER CENT. LESS
Than in 1912-Wheat Yield
Largest Ever Re-
corded

Washington, Dec. l6.--Final estimates
of production and value of Ia OF the i'm
portant crops which form part OF the
enormous grand total, aggregating APP
proximately S9,000,000000, OF wealth
produced on farms through the soil and
farmers live stock during 1913, were an
nounced yesterday by the crop reporting
board, bureau of statistics, department
of agriculture. The figures are the Off
cial government estimates of acreage,
production and value, based on prices
| paid to farmers on Dec. /. These IA
crops are only portion of the produc-
tion of the soil which approximates &c.
900, 100000 in value each year. The to-
tai value of the animal products of the
| farm is estimated at about S3,000,000,0 900
annually.
"The production of crops in the United
States in 1918 was materially below the
average" the secretary of agriculture,
David F. Houston, announces, "the yield
per acre of all crops combined being
smaller than in any year of the past
decade, with the exception of 1911. This
shortage was caused by a severe drought,
accompanied by excessive heat during
portion of the agricultural district OF
the United States, and particularly in
Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and ada
cent states.
1nasmueh as crop production of 1912
was unusually large, a greater proper
ton than usual has been carried into
the present crop year, which should miti
gate somewhat the effects of the short
age of this years crops.
"The corn crop, the most valuable
farm product of this country, is smaller
than any crop since 1903. Wheat pro-
duction Is the largest ever recorded in
this country. The crop was practically
matured before the drought became eff
fective. The oat crop is the third larg
est in our history. There has been a
steady expansion of the area of this
crop. The hay crop is smaller than the
large crop OF 1912. Rather liberal rains
in the late summer and fall have pro-
duced good pastures. The cotton crop
viii perhaps rank fourth or third in
size.
"The acreage devoted to these five
crops, tcorn, wheat, oats, hay, and cot
toni, comprises about 90 per cent. of the
altd AL tlCPSs anu mas ~
predominating effect upon the general
average condition of all crops. Nearly
all the minor crops were materially
smaller this year than in 1912 and the
per acre yields below their average.
"To the producers the lessened crop
production this year is largely compen-
stated by the increased prices received
for their produce; for, although the to-
tai crop production is approximately IL
per cent. smaller than last years pro-
duction, the average, level of prices is
higher than last years.
The final estimates Of the five princi-
cal crops yesterday, with comparisons
for 1912, follow;

needs of the community. It's enrolment
grew from few students TO las in a
few years. As old buildings were out
grown, the students took an active part
in building new.
A school home life was developed and
the teachers have done great work as
companions and leaders of the students
by giving them individual help and en-
couragement. To this may be traced
some of the really remarkable men who
have gone out from this community. All
the household cares and duties of the
school are organized under the depart
ment of household economics so that the
care of kitchen, dining room, laundry,
and the living rooms is left largely to
the women students under the direction
of competent matron
One of the things of special appeal Is
this; The pastor who came TO the com
munity in the early days has remained
throughout the years, preaching and
teaching, building and farming. The
Christian spirit of respect and reverence
for work, for knowledge, and for duty is
strong in the school and equally strong
in the community. Here can be seen,
then, typical rural community--satis
fed country homes, and a country school
and country church, each doing its
share in helping the people to love the
soil and make the most OF themselves
Inspired young men and women who
have the real vision of country life needs
may find opportunities in every part of
our country to do the work that these
pioneers have done so successfully in
poor western pioneer district.
