SATURDAYS MARKET.
Trading Was the Duliest of the Year
 Total of 10000 Shares.

New York, Aug. 25.-With one ex- ception-that of the previous week end-today's brief period of trading on the stock exchange was the dullest of the year, transactions falling to the meagre total of 10000 shares
 The course of the market was all together in keeping with these apa- thetic conditions, trading deriving it's sole support from further short covering on the more hopeful views entertained respecting Washington's attitude toward price control.
 Slight pressure upon metal stocks and equipments represented nothing of a tangible character and was more where. Dealings in rails were light but mainly at higher levels, with Rock Islands again the feature at ex- treme gains of 1 to 3 points.
 Specialties comprised the other strong issues, notably oils, tobaccos and Great Northern Ore, together with American Can, Chandler, Motor and several inactive stocks.
 Interesting developments of the day included transfer of S6 900, 900 gold to San Francisco for export to Japan and smaller withdrawals of the metal for shipment to South America
 Competent authorities issued encour- aging trade reports. although noting further caution pending adjustment of schedules by Washington. Leading railways issued additional favorable statements of earnings. Atchison re- porting a net gain of sSs0.000 for July.

MURRAY WINS S(PATRloTIc
 TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIP
Californian. Brushes Niles in Final
 Round of Match.

Robert Lindley Murray, one of Cali fornia's etalwart sons, proved himself the greatest player in the land by crushing Nathaniel w. Niles of Boston Saturday afternoon in the final round of the national Red Cross lawn tennis tournament on the turf courts of the West Side Tennis club of Forest Hills, Long Island
 Murray won in four sets, at 5-7, s-6, 6-3, 6-3, and when 1t is written that Niles was crushed the word Is not used in error, for, although he strug- gled gamely until the last, Niles was creasing strength of Murray's rushing, battering attack.
 In the last set the Longwood player had lost the snap in his strokes. He was no longer able to cover up the holes in his court with hlS customary speed of foot, and his confidence de- serted him he tried in vain to hold his opponent in check.
 Big Crowd Watches Play.
 Close to 5000 persons watched the tide of battle ebb and flow as west and east struggled under a blazing sun for the mastery, and when Niles sent Mur- rays second service ball whipping into stands rose simultaneously and greeted the victcr. The general sentiment seemed to be that the match was the greatest played between men this sea son
 Before this, however. Miss Mary K Browne of California had thrilled the spectators by her wonderful triumph over Miss Mo1la Bjurstedt national woman champion.

Some Facts and Figures
Which Our Railroad Heads
Should Give Consideration

The railroads of our country indicate
by the manner in which they are ready
to do their part in the war, that they are
in mood to entertain and profit by the
suggestions dropped for them by the re-
cent conference in Detroit which discuss
ed the freight transportation problem.
This conference declared its belief that
proposed increased rates are unneces-
sary.
It did not declare them unnecessary as
the railroads are now operated, but
charged inefficiency and costly manage
ment. inferior methods and adherence to
complex and archaic system.
Figures were given at this conference
by mon familiar with railroading.
1t was shown by statistics that 10 per
cent of the value Of all merchandise goes
for transportation, which totals two bill
lion dollars in a single year.
For lack of cars, it was reported to the
conference. only per cent of the coal
deposits are being worked, which fact
was given as one Of the causes of ex-
crbitalt prices in one of our most neces-
sary commodities.
After a thoro survey, the General
Railroad Board Of the Council Of Nation
al Defense reports that it is not raise
in rates that is needed, but that it is a
reformed system which is required.
1t was found that if but 10 per cent
of the locomotives were allowed to lie
in the repair shops at one time, 1926
locomotives could be added to those in
use. ~
It was also found that if the average
run WAS increased from 20 10 80 miles.
il would be equivalent to the added pow.
er Of I33 800 more
1t was said that an increase is speed
and lead could also be accomplished thru
revised and up-to-date management.

Who Are You?
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

Who are YOU?
You expect the soldiers Of the L. S. A.
to stand up and be shot if necessary to
protect you, your homes, your wife and
children?
You expect the boys on the battle
ships to sail into the jaws of death and
TO brave the hellfre of enemy guns and
the assassin thrust of the sneaking sub
marine, all to defend you and your
neighbors from invasion?
And who are YOU?
What do you expect to do? You?
Yourself?
Did you say the other day that you
didn't think you'd put eour money in a
Liberty Bond because -gou could b-at
that; you could invest yourIunds at six
and ten per cent. and you didn't see why
you should purchase government paper
that only pays three and a half?
Did YOU say that?
When your country asks YOU to ad,
vance a measly fifty or "a hundred dol.
lars TO help keep the editice of civiliza-
ton from tumbling, do you prate of max
ing more by lending elsewhere?
Say, what kind Of a fellow ARE YOU?
Do YOU want other men 10 sacrifice
their business, their prospects and posi-
tons, and go to marching. drilling, and
by and by starving, suffering from
wounds, dying while you don't turn
your hand over to help?
WHAT are you?
Do you mean to say you'll not buy all
the Liberty Bonds you can afford. that
you'll not come gladly, willingly up to
the scratch and put your name down as
a financial hacker of Uncle sam to the
extent Of your ability?
Who are YOU. that YOU should hem
and haw when others salute the flag with
blthe smile and step forth TO die?
There are Swallowed homes aplenty
now in France and England. and from all
appearances there will be others in this
land before this horror is over. Those
tears shed are honorable tears.
Tho mothers mourn their frst-bom
and fathers bow their heads because
their hopes that clustered around the
bright fine boy have been extinguished;
tho wives and sweethearts arc dcsoate,
yet underneath it all they're proud there
is little spot Of JOY to know the boy
died for his country, literally sacrificed
his life for liberty.
But how about YOU? How viii YOU
feel. YOU who wouldn't even obligate
yourself for fifty dollars?
Wake up
Come a-runnin'l
Go right away to your bank and say

Quick Put me down for a Liberty
Bond Don't let me be disgraced by hav-
ing this loan pass without my subscrip-
