NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Untl the
general reaction Of the closing hour,
the strength of our own stock mar
Ike today, and the quiet conditions re
ported even from the London and
Paris stock exchanges again seemed
to show how difficult it is to trace
prices on war quotations. News OF
the dissemination Of the British cabi-
net business ended with reports for
victories of the invaders Of Servia
apparently on all sides. Both for
actual strength and for volume OF
business done, U. s. Steel common
stock took the lead in the upward
movement Of the early hours, advanc
ing az above yesterdays price, which
was itself the highest in FIVE years
This converging Of speculation on
Steel common was made somewhat
more obvious from the fact that de:
velopments of the steel trade had
been such as to touch the imagina-
ton, and that the company's state
ment of earnings for the rather re.
markable three months period end
ing with September will be made next

This is to its credit. 1t is, to our

we have nearly always been able to
agree with it. Or another way to sa;
1t is that it has always agreed with

Automobile Jaunt of Close to 5000
Miles in Middle and Eastern
States Was Made in
Four Weeks.
CONDITIONS ONLY FAIR
Prosperity Hits Manufacturing Sec
tlons, But Other Parts Seem
TO Feel Somewhat
Dubious.

Judge William Logan has returned
from a four weeks trip through the
middle and eastern states. The jaunt
of something like 1000 miles was
made by automobile, and the party
was not delayed for single puncture,
blowout or any machine trouble. This
is considered a remarkable record for
such long run Rain delayed the
party but failed to dampen their
spirits, and Judge Logan declares
that 1t was a most pleasant journey
Mr.. and Mrs. H. Boyden Blood ac-
companied Judge logan on the trip.
Conditions throughout the country
ARE only fair, Judge Logan said, in
speaking of his observations. The
sections which are benefited by the
manufacture of war supplies are show
ing some prosperity, but those sections
not touched by this magic wand are
not feeling any such stimulus, but in
stead are complaining OF conditions.
Insurance firms in the east are com
planning OF the general conditions of
the country.
Crop conditions seem to be good, as
the party found them. Winter wheat
is backward IN some sections because
OF the great amount of rain.
Many Interesting Places.
Judge Logan's initinerary included
Illinois, Ohio. Indiana, Pennsylvania,
Maryland. through the Alleghanies.
down the Potomac to Baltimore, Wash
ington, New Jersey, and New York.
The Judge visited relatives near Bait
more and met friends all along his
tour. He was in Princeton at the
time of the first worlds series game
and in Syracuse, n Y, during another
game. He said there was an abunQ-
ance of enthusiasm over the series.
The party went to Philadelphia and
made a trip to Princeton and the uni
yersity there.
At Syracuse the car was taken to

Roads, both good and bad, were en-
countered on the trip. There is con

coin highway, but this necessitates
| detouring, Judge Logan said. The
roads over which the detour is made
were not always Of the best. In some
sections the roads were good, and in
others there were plenty Of chuck
Aholes and bad spots. The trip home
yesterday was made in good time in
order to get in before rain came or

An, brothers Of the battle. It's neither

But one who bears it bravely, the
great heart OF our clan
The woman bears the burden, and she
bears It for a man
We fret and toll and worry and think
We do so much:
'Tis we who think We manage the
lever and the clutch;
But what we do Is trihing to all she
bears who sings
Against the night at gates O: light
where love through twilight
swings.
Our troubles send Us whining, she
takes her own with cheer;
She makes the home a haven that
shall shelter US from fear:
She watches as the sentry guards the
kings highway,
And on her heart the burden Is borne
with grace each day.
Down through the years that totter
around US with their drift
OF grief and Joy commingled. 1t Is her
shoulders lift
The sorrows and the heartaches, and
showing US the truth
Brings back into our souls the faith
that freshens like ones youth.

Beneath the darkest shadow and along
the weariest miles;
The keeper OF the castle Of the home,
that stays her ground

Moreover its influence has not been
limited to the members of this re

some influence on the culture, arts,
and education of our people. Without
assumption it can be said that it ha

people belonging to the best type OF
citizenship. In earlier days when our
public schools were less developed
many Of its congregations conducted
schools with four or five teachers
supported by their own treasures
While this is considered unnecessary
at the present time, the religious train
