New York, May 4.--The Liberty
Loan proved a handsome success. It
was heavily oversubscribed and the
number of subscribers reacred near
L.. 100000, or considerably more
than one-tenth of our total popula-
ton. The best feature of the loan
was not the oversubscription, but it's
Extraordinarily wide distribution
among the public. Earlier loans de-
rended much more largely upon
large individual subscribers and fl
nancial institutions Too great a pro-
portion of the earlier issues was
taken by wealthy interests. and by
the banks whose functions are best
performed when their resources are
kept fluid and not tied up in large
tiocks of securities, hoWsoever sound
they may be. From every standpoint
it is desirable that the Liberty Loan
be widely distributed, such a policy
Icing sound financially and wise po-
iitically Recognition of this fact by
the banks and big lending institutions
partly explained the temporary tard-
mess of subscriptions, which however
came in with a, rush during the last
two days The whole result is de-
Cidedly stimulating. 1t proves that

The month of May begins with u
satisfactory business outlook. At this
season crop problems come to the
front and this year they are Of far
and greater importance than usual.
Fortuna tely there is no prospect of
food shortage in this country. For
this statement we have the assurance
of our able Food Administrator, Mr..
Hoover himself, than whom there
could be no more reliable authority.
He confirms the opinion already eH-
pressed that the outlook is for a big
bushels The outlook for an album
dance of food is fortunately not con-
fined to wheat. Other gains are doing
and vegetables, for which the condi-
tons have thus far been Favorable
Our animal products next year are
also likely to show a material increase.
Good prices are insuring large pro-
duction, and in many cases distributors
are carrying over liberal supplies
from last year; this factor being
largely attributable to the home
Garden campaign a year ago also to
the growing habit of economy and
thrift cultivated by government prop
Uganda. Our cotton outlook Is en-
co1lra ging the acreag being estimated
at about ) per cent more than las,
wear. which under existing conditions
suggests a crop of about 5000. 900
bales. Taking into consideration the
surplus left over from last year. there
is no fear of q scarcity of this staple
rurina. the coming season

compared with $4,000, 900 last yea,
| and 1920, 100000 in 1916. The totaj
| for the first four months was $3.50.
! 100000, against $83S,000 900 last veal
! and 1892, 900, 900 the year before Of
| this total only about 10 per cent. was
! for the railroads, and in April the
| issues on this account ceased almost
entirely, owing to government con-
| troll. -...
On the Stock Exchange there was
some revival of activity, accompanied
by decidedly more optimistic tenn
per. This was induced by the success
Of the Liberty Loan, by the better
war situation, by satisfactory BUSINESS
conditions and by a good crop out
look. The action Of the Government
in meeting the financial requirements
of New Haven and New York Cen
! trail also had a marked effect. mas
much as it confirms the belief that
the railroads will receive fair treat
ment under Government control
During the four months of Govern
ment operation, over 90,00O.000 has
been advanced to the railroads as
loans TO meet their obligations. In
about two weeks the War Finance
Corporation will be ready to COM
mence operations and the railroads
and public utilities also will receive
the financial consideration to which
they are fairly entitled. The belief
that our railroads cannot ever return
to pre-War conditions excited consid-
cradle distrust at one time; but the
action Of the Government just re-
ferred to indicates that reason and
justice will play the chief part in
such relations, and confidence is cor
respondingly returning. Many rail-
roads are selling at exceedingly low
prices, some of them at half their real
value, largely owing to the former il
liberal policy Of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission. Certainly there Is
no imitation n railroad shares; though
there is very considerable imitation in
comm ODDITIES and wages. Now that
the bond cam paign is over there viii
be less pressure upon the money mar
ket, and railroad shares are likely to
receive more attention from careful
buyers. Income tax payments Will
soon be in order; but these have been
provided for in part and Will, oil
course, be financed much more easily
than the bond issue. Finally it should
not be overlooked that the South and
West are exceedingly prosperous ow-
ing to high prices realized for agricul-
tural and mineral products, While tho
East is correspondingly prosperous
because of continued industrial &C.
tivity.

Death of DIR. A. S. Reynolds.

DR.. Allen Schley Reynolds, formerly
a well-known resident OF Shepherds
town, died last Monday morning at e
o'clock at his home in Hancock, Nd.
Although he had been in poor health
for long time, his final illness lasted
only a week or two, his death being the
result of acute gastritis.
DR.. Reynolds, who was 81 years old,
was the son of DR.. John and Mrs. Kate
Withrow Reynolds, for many years
Shepherdstown's best loved residents.
He was born and reared in this place,
and was educated at Mercersburg Col
lege, the University of Virginia and the
University Of Maryland, having chosen
as his calling the profession OF his
beloved father. After finishing his
education he spent several years in
Texas, and then returned to Shop
herdstown, where he took up the
practice of medicine with his father,
succeeding him as the towns most
popular physician at the time OF his
death in 1891. DR.. Reynolds was
a physician of great skill and ability,
and being OF attractive personality ne
had wide practice and large circle OF
friends. He was interested in outdoor
sports and was famous with rod and
gun. He was instrumental in organic
ing the Morgan's Grove fair, having been
one of its promoters when 1t was first
started at Moler's Cross Roads, and was
its president for number of years. In
1882 he married Miss Jessie Bowles, OF
Hancock, and their home was a social
centre in Shepherdstown that will long
be remembered for its hospitality and
the pleasure it afforded guests from far
and near. Owing to failing health, DR..
Reynolds was obliged to give up
practice, and about ten years ago moved
with his family to "Dalecarlia," the
Bowles family home near Hancock,
where he had since resided. He &C.
casionally revisited Shepherdstown, but
il was apparent that his health was
continually declining, and his death was
not unexpected. He had many warm
friends in this section who will learn
of his passing with sadness, even though
they recall with pleasure the good
qualities that were his.
DR.. Reynolds is survived by his wife,
a son, John Reynolds, and daughter,
Mrs. Lalla Bays, all of Hancock; and
sister, Mrs. Nellie Legge, of Washing
ton, now the last survivor of her family
The funeral service was held in the
Reformed Church in Shepherdstown
Wednesday morning, the body having
been brought here for burial, and the
mortal remains were laid to rest in Elm
wood Cemetery besides father, mother
and brother who had passed on before
him. The service was conducted by
Rev. S. L. Flickinger, of the Reformed
Church. The pallbearers were G. D.
Wysong, M. B. Baker, H. M. Turner, J.
P. Kearfott, T. B. Line and A. S. Dan

Automobile Accident.

S. Walter Stouffer and his sisters,
Misses Martha, Mary and Julia Stouffer,
Sharpsburg district, and Miss Elizabeth
Brotherton of Shepherdstown, were in
a thrilling automobile accident last
Monday night. They had been to Balt-
more in Mr.. Stouffer's automobile and
were on their way home when the &C
cident occurred, about 9 o'clock at night
They had just passed Braddock Heights
and were descending the hill at the
curve on the down grade just west of
that place when the car skidded and
took a plunge into the ditch All of the
occupants were thrown out. Miss Mary
Stouffer was hurt the most, her face be-
ing badly bruised and cut; Miss Julia
received a cut an inch or two long over
her eye; Miss Brotherton got several
painful bumps about the head and face.
Mr.. Stouffer and Miss Martha escaped
without scratch. The injured ladies
were taken to Middletown, where their
injuries were attended to, and later they
all proceeded to the Stouffer home,
thankful that no one had been seriously
damaged.

Losing his weapons in an infantry
charge, Grover Clements, of Fluvanna,
Va, downed a German with his fist and
bore his dead victim back TO the Ameri-
can lines. Reports OF the incident state
that Clements was in sanguinary
charge on the German lines when, in
some way, he lost not only his rifle but
his side arms as we'll. That didn't stop
him, however; he went right on with the
charge, and when he met a man who had
likewise lost his equipment he struck
him a blow with his fist which proved
fatal He then picked the boche up
and carried him under one arm back to
the American lines. He was at once pro-
NOTED.
