LIGHTHEART.

Friend Lightheart wears a shabby suit, A hat that's somewhat weather-beaten; He's faled-the charge he cant refute, And yet in truth, his smile can sweeten The sum of all life's bitterness
 And gild it's bloom with glints O glad
 ness
 Although it were not hard to guess He walks himself the ways of sadness.

All Prices Advance
Steel Makes New Record

New York, Nov. 6.-The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Z With. few exceptions the general list
of securities in today s stock market ad-
vanced steadily on an accumulation of
buying orders over the weekend and
the consequent forcing of the short in
terests to cover in good volume.
United States Steel as the leader of
the market reflected the general senti-
ment of the street faithfully, advancing
steadily to new high record price at
122 1-2, the last previous record being
l22 IA ON November 2. For the first
time steel common crossed the preferred
without question, the latter touching
l22, selling ex-dividend
The gain of the common from Satur-
day was therefore over two points. All
of the minor steel issues shared in this
movement, gaining from l to points
and more. Bethlehem steel, however
failed to respond and sold off nine
points from the last previous sale. Prac.
tically all the equipment and specially
shares were likewise in good demand.
Trading continued active in the later
session, transactions exceeding gcner
ously a million shares for the day. Uni
ted States steel advanced further to
l23 1-2. Central leather pushed
through 103.

For clearing the skin and making it

greasy salve and it does not stain. When
others fail it is the one dependable treat
ment for skin troubles Of all kinds.

Great Concern Over

Overwhelming proof of President Will
son S popularity, representatives of spe
cial privilege in Wall street issued on
Friday hurry call for secret con
ference at 1920 o'clock in the after
noon.
Having already, according to pub
lished reports, raised n "slush - fund
Of $l,2000,O00 to "put" Hughes over
in the closing days of the campaign
the new call is for an additional quar-
ter of a million.
In New York city alone paid adver'
tising in the daily papers on Thursday
cost the republican committee or its
various dummies $4,000, and this ad,
vertising campaign is being conducted
on this scale throughout the states
which the republicans expect to win foi
Hughes through the purchasing power
of the organized wealth Of the country
that has fattened off special privilege
under republican rule.
At this rate the expenditure for the
purpose of befuddling the voter and
twisting public opinion in the closing
hours Of the campaign must amount to
not less than 100000 for advertising
alone.
