Business and Finances

terest. Mr. McKenna spoke very de-
fnitely on this point, indicating his
purpose to use the securities in the
United States as basis of credit, and
SO making them available for purchas-
es on this side of the Atlantic. In all
that will be done, however, American
interests will be protected and the
level of exchange preserved until af-
ter the war. I"
AS might be expected, the House of
Commons acted promptly upon the
Chancellor's suggestion so that the
plan of mobilizing British holdings of
American securities is an accomplish
ed fact. With this vast total of wealth
added to the resources of the govern
ment for carrying on the war, it may
be expected that there will be no
further arrangement of the rate of
exchange until the reservation of peace
and the return of normal conditions.
As an indication of the enormous
volume of Anglo-American trade it
is pertinent to quote Mr.. McKenna' S
statement on this point. He ex-
planned that the usual trade balance
in favor of Great Britain had been
exhausted by the huge demands made
upon America for goods for England
and her Allies, and the amounts paid
in interest on foreign securities held
in Britain or earned by British ship
ping, were not sufficient to set this
right. Consequently in order to meet
liabilities in the United States, they
were obliged to go outside the or
binary course of trade, and had to
borrow or sell securities. He esti-
mated that the securities held in Eng
land were valued anywhere from
G3O0,000,0O0 to 98O0,00O,OOO ($1, 5OO,-
100000 to $4,000O00,000), and express
ed the hope this would be sufficient
to meet British liabilities and to main.
tain exchange in the United States for
the period of the war. 1t may also
be assumed that the mobilization" o.
these securities will assist in main.

Where Will Idaho Get OFF


Isn't Idaho backing the Borah
boom for PRESIDENT? The answers of
the Republican state chairmen to the
query of the New York World as to
whom their state favored as the mo-
minee for president, elected the in
formation that Iowa was backing its
favorite son, Cummins; Ohio doing
likewise for Burton; Massachusetts,,
Weeks, and Michigan, Osborn, while
the Idaho Republican chairman was
apparently unwilling to commit his
state to Borah and it was left to Ore
gon to be the sole sponsor for the
Borah boom. With Idaho silent and
its neighbors, Montana and Washing
ton, running after strange gods, where
will the Borah boom get off?-North-

Uses Lye to Dehorn Calves.

Here is a sure method of prevent
ing cattle from having horns. 1t
should be done before the calf is 9
days old or on the ninth day. Cut
the hair away over the horns and ir-
ritate the skin by rubbing with a
clean corn cob. Then apply thick
paste made of concentrated I've and
little cold water, rubbing in circu-
lar motion a minute or two with a
fat piece of wood an inch wide
Cover a space no larger than a dime
with the I've paste. The calf will run
about and toss its head for few min
utes, but this is humane treatment as
compared to saving through the live
bone Of the horn as is done so often.
The kind of cloture that Senator
Owen started out to get and the kind
that prevails in the Senate offered an
Interesting occasion for comparisons
the kind of comparisons which are
always and naturally to be instituted
between Democratic proposals and

New York, December Is, 1915.
Despite the fact that the atmos-
phere of Wall Street has been decid-
edly bearish during the last few
weeks, stocks have receded only in
isolated cases, while the averages
have actually gained. The Stock Mar
ket has had to contend with num-
Der of extremely harassing features,
affecting not only Our domestic prob
lens, but Our international relation
ships as we'll. The meeting of Con-
gress is always an unsteady influence
upon the Stock Market; the pubEca-
ton of the note to Austria. relative to
the sinking of the Ancona, was con-
sidered a good excuse for bear raid
upon the market. The foreign ex-
change market was particularly sem
satiye to the situation created by our
note to Austria.
AS the year 1915 draws to a close, it
is somewhat interesting to glance
back over the stock list, and to note
some of the issues that have appealed
to popular fancy, and that for this or
other reasons have enjoyed remark
able increase in current quotations.
Perhaps at the head of this iistT we
should place the oil stocks, which, due
to the tremendous increase in the de-
mand for oils of every variety have
yielded tremendous dividends for in
vestors. 1t is conservatively estimat-
ed that the entire group of thirty-six
companies which grew out of the dis
solution Of the Standard Oil com
pany, have more than tripled in value
since that dissolution. In one month
since November IL. these stocks show
a market appreciation of over $780,
100000, and the total value for all the
stocks of the Standard Oil group is
estimated at $1,6s1 ,O33,4o2.
Some notable examples of the ie-
markable advance of leading indus
trials have already been featured in
the headlines of the daily press. The
two leaders in this class are: Bethle-
hem Steel, which rose from 70 to COG
and then receded somewhat modestly
to 450; and General Motors from &c
to to SIS. The following table, Civ
ing the present price of few of the
more important issues as compared
with December II, of last year, the
first day the Exchange opened for
business since July 80, will also il

NAMPA YOUTHS PLEAD
GUILTY; SENT TO PRISON
Smead and Sevey Sentenced Thurs
day; Donnally Trial Set.

George Smead and Lloyd Sevey, the
Nampa young men held for trial on
a charge of burglary in the first de-
gree, plead guilty before Judge Bryan
waived their time for sentence, and
were at once committed to the state
penitentiary to serve terms of from
one to fifteen years.
The young men, just out of their
teens, were charged with having stol-
en- and disposed of some harness and
also some meat. That thew would
plead guilty was indicated by their
testimony at the preliminary hearing
given Frank Schaffer at Nanpa a
week ago. Schaffer was held as an
accompIice of Smead and Sevey, but
the latter acknowledged that they
alone were responsible for the theft.

shares have never lacked for adequate
support against all bear campaigns,
and thus their records have been very
gratifying to those who have backed
no their judgment with liberal pur-
chases.
Money.
1t seems rather peculiar that with
all the reports of increasing business,
the banks of the country should con-
tinue to be surfeited with idle funds.
AT this time of the year, money rates
have heretofore been marked up to
highest points, great contrast to
present conditions. Last year at this
time cali money was being placed at
3K to 4eo and 90-day funds at to
SO. The corresponding rates this
week are IN and 21z9a. One explain
alton for this condition is that,
while, current trade is booming, there
has been hesitancy on the part of
our industrial leaders to commit
themselves to any extended program
of extension and expansion as re-
CARDS new plants and equipments. A
notable exception has been in the
Manufacture of war materials. though
In most instances the machinery so
acquired will be available for other
purposes after the war. Advices from
the west this week are to the effect
that the demands from the interior
are becoming more pronounced.
Bankers in that territory report col
lections slow, owing to the require
ments for funds at the holiday per-
iod. There is also listed a diminution
in the demand for funds for specula-
tive purposes since the activity in war
stocks has abated.
Mobilizing American Securities.
There is now held in Great Britain
a considerable total of American Sc
curities which afford the government
the basis of practically unlimited Gre
dit in the United States. Reginald Nc
Kenna, the British Chancellor of the
Exchequer, proposes to mobilize these
securities so as to protect both British
and American interests and to main
tain exchange at the normal figure.
Mr.. McKenna outlined his plan in
the House of Commons on Monday,
supplementing his statement with the
remark that the government would
take over the right of selling the
pledged securities if necessary. In
that case the government will give the
holder the middle price plus 2LaRo.
The holder, however. if he does
pledge his securities must do so for
a definite term of two years. He will
receive as compensation a commits
sion at the rate of "a to l per cent
per year. These proposals apply to
holders who are unable to sell. such
as financial institutions with whom
the securities are already pledged, and
executors and others who hold Ameri-
can stocks and bonds in trust.
According to the Chancellor's plan,
the securities are to be bought out
right, paving for them in Swear ex-
chequer bonds bearing S per cent in

YOUNG At 80 YEARS
MADAME DAVENPORT
SENDS SONS TO War

The youngest old woman in the
country is in Richmond. She claims
80 years, although she looks not older
than the average American woman at
so years. She is bright and cheerful,
although the terrible war in Europe
has drawn into it's tolls six Of her
sons, the oldest of whom is "a year,
and sixteen grandsons. She knows
the truth of the statement that the
women of Europe are bearing the
burden of the strife.
Madame Charlotte de Goliere Daven-
port is the youngest old woman IN
America. Madame Davenport. an Au-
strian by birth. has been connected
with the university at Vienna as a lee
turer. For about twenty years she
had been making periodical trips to
entertained by the country's most dis
tinguished personages, including for
mer President Roosevelt. Madame
Davenport will give hygienic lecture
on "Americanitis" in Richmond in the
near future.
Madame Davenport does not believe
in old age. Constant use of all men
tai faculties and physical endowments
serve to ward off infirmities, she be-
lieves.
Mention Of Italy in connection with
the war angered Madame Davenport,
who said the Italians had violated
their treaty, and that the Teutonic al
lies would kill every one of them. She
based her belief on the efficiency of
the Germans and the thoroughness
with which they do everything.
