presidents. twenty-three cashiers and
hfty-one assistant cashiers and other

He gives the bank business credit for

Very many banks now bond all en-

Henry Clews on Rail Shares.
Henry Clews, the veteran Wall street
observer. in this weeks market letter
presents statistics not entirely new on
the large increase in gross earnings of
railroads and has something to say on
net earnings. selecting some Of the
we'll known properties, and especially
Pennsylvania.
Drawing conclusion from these fig-
ures, Mr.. Clews states:
IF these comparisons are representa-
tive Of the general railroad situation,
and it is believed they are, there GER
tainly is no incentive for permanent
investors lin contradistinction to

ing day to day profits) to indulge in

Gently been a feature of the market for

and not unnaturally, so to overlook
because of our sympathies and the
personal dangers of our loved ones, the
material advantages that must newt
so hard to avoid. America has attained
and will maintain a new financial posi-
tion among the nations Of the world !;
1T Will be restored to the seas as an
important maritime nation: 1t will

way with many new export markets
and. finally, it will, moreover, have the
lasting reputation of being the nation
that at the crucial moment stepped in
to decide the war in favor of democ-
racy. This is a position that cannot
fail to mean much in the material
sense. 1t will mean a postwar con-
tinuance of our national activities on
a remarkable scale and a continuing
prosperity for the great corporations
that so clearly are responsible for
those activities. Our country has vet
far to go before it reaches the peak of
its development"

CHICAGO GRAIN,

CHICAGO September 15.-+Nearlv
ideal weather and an increase of rural
offerings furnished much of the I'm
petus today for a decided downward
swing which took place in values Of
corn. The market closed heavy. lM to
2A net lower at 1863 to 118I Decem-
Der. and 1.14A to LIAM May. Oats
finished q to IN off. Provisions gained
10 to 45.
High temperatures prevailed over all
important corn states. and there was
no rain of consequence. The fact that
such conditions were just the kind for
preston on traders. Bearish senti-
ment deepened after the issuance of
the government weekly forecast fndi-
eating generally fair weather and a
seasonaole warmth for the next three
or four days. Weakness in the cash
market was likewise in favor Of the
bears. and all the more so as the ac-
companyfng enlargement OF country
offerings to arrive had been in response
to bids from here which were 5 per
cent lower than yesterday. Continued
peace gossip. together with reports that
German submarine was operating of
the New England coast, tended further
to handicap the bulls. No important
reaction developed. and the market
closed at almost the lowest point Of the
day.
Oats weakened with corn. seaboard
advices implied that yesterdays export
this circumstance failed to count in
the absence Of any fresh demand from
the east. Besides. predictions of larger
receipts were current
Milling orders for wheat here con-
tinued to be far in excess of the ar
rivals. The total receipts for the week
in Chicago were only about one-third
of the amount at the corresponding
time last year. Other domestic ter
minals also reported a decided shortage.
At Winnipeg. however. receipts sur
passed to q liberal extent the figures
Of 1916.
Bullish estimates Of the amount Of
recent purchasing for Belgium gave
strength to provisions Another ele-
ment of drmness was an expected
scarcity Of hog supplies here next
week.

The Kid Has Gone
To The Colors

Crank Owings, Co. F, 3rd Reg, at
Great Lakes, ILL.,, who is the grand
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. N. Boatman
of Mexico, clipped the following time
ly poem from the publication in his
locality. Frank was first bugler,
then band-member, then End COM
mander of his company
The Kid has gone to the Colors,
And we don't know what to say;
The Kid we have loved and cuddled
Stepped out for the Flag today.
We thought him a child, baby,
With never care at all,
But his country called him man-size,
And the Kid has heard the call.
He paused to watch the recruiting,
Where, fired by the fife and drum,
He bowed his head,to Old Glory
And thought it whispered "Come!"
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot-joy
To add his name to the roster
And, God, we're proud of the boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors;
1t seems. but little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy navy
In truly martial style.
But now he's man, sailor,
And we lend him listening ear,
For his heart is heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of fear.
His dad, when he told him, shuddered
His mother-God bless her-cried
Yet, blest with a mother-nature,
She wept with a mother-pride.
But he whose shoulders straightene
Was Granddad-for memory ran
To the year when he, too, a youngstel
Was changed by the flag to man
