RAILS DROP SHARPLY.
|NDUSTR|ALS EASIER

NEW YORK, September 2s.-The
stock market was again narrow and
inclined to weakness almost from the
start The real trouble with brokers is
that they find it difficult to obtain flnan-
cial accommodations and have TO pay
at least per cent, which is something
of bar to trading.
Moreover. bankers refuse to make
time loans, understanding that the
liberty loan campaign may have the
effect of Tightening the money market
still further. While these conditions
prevail, traders will hold aloof. save
from purely scalping operations, until
more settled condition.
Some Depressing Factors.
Then. again. the threatened strike of
coal miners and the question OF the
government reconsidering the fixed
prices for coal must be answered be-
fore the street can expect bull mar
ket.
The bears got together soon after the
opening and hit the rails with regu-
used as center for the raid. and all
other stocks suffering more or less

made a 3-point decline; Baltimore and
Ohio. 4, and Reading, a full point.
Industrials Suffer Losses.
In the Industrial list the initial move
ment was in the direction of lower
prices for a drop of about a point, on
the average, in some cases extending to
y. Then support was in evidence, but
1t was half-hearted and seemed to be
less important toward noon, when per
cent call money caused another reac-
ton.
There were no serious declines during
the morning hours, other than in the
rails, Steel common. at the low. being
but y off, with several industrials re-
covering very generally.
In the early hours of the afternoon
the rails made new lows at about
point below the low of the morning,

to 100.

Bears Spring Another Raid.
In the second hour of the afternoon the
bears jumped all over the market for
rapid and more serious declines than were
sustained in the morning.
Lows established during this raid were
as follows
Reading. S0s: St Paul, 54k: Union
Pacific, 1271a; Baltimore and Ohio, "a;
Steel common, 10Sa; Crucble Steel. 70%
Bethlehem B shares, 93k; Midvale Steel,

and Steel, sos.
Money scarcity was explained as the
chief difficulty.
The closing was weak and at or very
near the low prices of the day.

What called forth this declara'
ton? It was Englands' tyrant
hand, placing the chain OF thral
dom, around the neck of the A.
merican people. Again we see
this dark hand of graft and gain.
Lifting up its iron fingers to
lay hold on the juglar vains, Of
all honest patriotic laborers of
this noble country of ours. Fer
the few money gods have their
power in their hand-You may
say how! And we answer with
their money. they bave taken the
privilege Of getting all food into
their hands, and they are raising
prices so high, that the poor are
forced into their hand. as the
worst Of slaves. Apparently our
government has no way of con
trolling them. No way to stop
them from increasing the high
prices on all food stuff. We be.
lieve that our Government should
have the right to eontrole the

Behind every glow is burning.
Behind light is heat.
And behind all helpful influence is sac
rifice.
The suns light is gentle and life-giv-
ing; we bask in its rays, the little flow
ers look up and love it. and the green
earth rejoices. Yet behind the wide and
welcome glow, at the central spot
whence emanates this comfortable and
mothering sheen. there are what roar
ing flames, boilings of molten rock, cata-
clysmic and violent fires!
SO the secret of influence is sacrifice.
What good you do is measured by how
much you are burning. The power Of
your love ray is in proportion TO the con-
fagration within your heart.
The painter is great when he dips his
brush in the fountain of his blood.
The author lays his compelling mind
upon the lives of thousands when he has
written by the light Of his own soul
burning.
The actor touches you when he pours
out his life into his role.
Mothers are so great because they
consume their lives so fully for their
children.
Peace, comfort, progress, civilization,
somebody must keep up the fires for
these.
This so great America. with its rush.
ing trains. humming factories, fruitful
farms, busy schools, Offices, and mar
kets. what is it but the bright light
caused by the burning up of human
souls, labor, the consumption of lives?
And in heaven. it is said, 1.-The Lamb is
the light thereof" For all the beauty
and bliss of the place is but the radiance
of the great sacrifice
The spirit of the man is the candle of
the Lord. is the saying. 1t sends out
light and power only when it burns.
There is deeper analogy than we sus-
pect in Shakespeare's couplet:
How far that little candle throws its beamsl
So shines good deed in naughty world.

If you were getting paid in bullets
every Saturday night you'd not go blow
ing in your bullets for foolishness, would
YOU?
Not in war time, anyhow.
Well. dollars buy bullets. Your pay
envelope is full Of bullets.
There's only one direction in which
10 shoot bullets now-at the German des-
potism.
Every bullet in America is needed at
the front.
You know that, surely. Then don't
shoot any bullets in any other direction.
Make every dollar count in the war!
That means no wasting of dollars.
And no wasting of pennies, either, for
dollars are made Of pennies.
Get the saving habit. Salt your money
away-not in a sock or hole in the
ground, but in place where it can work
Nobody buries bullets. Bullets are
only good when they are put in guns.
Put your money where it can shoot.
Put it in bank. Give it a chance.
Don't handle any of it loosely. Save
it!
We are at war and war is no funny
business. You have no more right to be
reckless and careless with your money
than anybody else has, This is every
mans war and it's up to little old Mr..
Everyman to buckle down and do his
best.
Save your money!

Incivil Service

Fred Book is hunting job in the Ger
man postal service.
Postoffice work is all he known much
about. He has been at it % years, in
Washington
The reason he isn't working there any
more is the fact that he would rather
work for the kaiser
He revealed this at the postal clerks
excursion, when he sang song so paro-
died as to extol the kaiser.
He has failed to sign up with the
kaiser, not because Of any present con
tract The first assistant postmaster gen
eral kindly released him from any such
obligation He is out Of work all right,
and a steamship licked TO Hamburg is all
that stands between him and his new
job.
Civil service is well and good. But in
civil service is something else again.
