shop system. which has nearly 100

country, have not been able to cash IN
their profits or get back their original
deposits since last Friday. The failure
of this chain of bucket shops will be

Two Birds with One Stone.

Trunk Lines were purchased be-
cause Of the huge crops promised by
the government and the heavier traf-
fic from the haul of munitions. All
these reasons have been present for
weeks and have been advanced time
and time again as inducement to pur-
chase the rails. but it took an advance
in prices to impress this upon the
speculative public. While the sharp
advance is expected to cause week.
end profit taking tomorrow. conserva-
tive brokers look for a firm market
for the two hours session.
From the brokers standpoint the
improvement in the rails killed two
birds with one stone, first enabling
them to place more rails collateral
in their loans, demanded by the
banks, and secondly furnishing another
medium for the continuation of COM
missions

New York. Oct. S.-Sentiment in the
large commission houses after the
close Of business was unusually cheer
full today, for the railroad shares,
which they have been constantly urg-
ing their customers to purchase, but
which have refused to show any signs
of life, suddenly awakened and touched
the highest prices for more than a
year.
The activity of the rails overshadow-
ed the war stocks which displayed a
reactionary tendency. Brokers be-
Ieve that the action of the industrials
reflected switching from that group
into the rails by that amateur class
of spectators who have been heavy
purchasers of the industrials for no
reason except that they were constant

Central Association
Has Good Mechanics

With the selection of the cognomen
of The Clay Diggers" for the Mason
City baseball team, the list of names
of the various teams in The Central
Association is complete. Each name
has been selected because OF some
characteristic of the city whose name
the team bears. The complete list
follows:
Clinton: The Pilots, SO named be-
cause of the city's location on the
Mississippi.
Marshalltown: The Ans ons named
Tor the founder of the town, and the
father of Adrian C. Arson, the great
bah player.
Muscatine: The Muskias.
Waterloo: The Lulns, or Jays. the
latter name being applied because the
managers name is Jay Andrews.
Cedar Rapids: The Bunnies, derived
from the city slogan, See der Rab-
bits"
Keokuk: The Indians. because the
city was named for an Indian chief
tain.
Mason City: The Clay Diggers, be-
cause of the city's prosperity in man
ufacturing clay and cement products,
such as brick, tile and cement.
Burlington: The Pathtinders, a name
long applied to that club, in the hope
that some day ii would win pennant.
