next regular meeting of the council.

plumbing business to H. E. Billingsley.

parent that the most significant .ainr
about the development Of the Indus
Try in 1918 Is the great concerted
effort toward the education of the
farmer in the essentials of power
farming. This IS mainly manifest in
the scores of free tractor schools that
have been held far ard vice Mt The
manufacturers branches. at arst. and
later, right in the Establishments Of
the retailers.
1t woulc be impossible TO estimate
the thousands of farmers who have
taken those courses liz tractloneorine.
Tc say that the benefit derived Will
be immeasursblT great is an lmpor-
tant generality. however, that cannot
be questioned For q good many sea-
sons the Observers Of tractor develop

farmers most needed was power farm

education has been carried 30 them

in the long run it cannot fail to

Guatemala Loss Exaggerated

The Guaranty Trust Company has
received a letter from The Bank Of
Guatemala, 81 Guatemala City, stating
that the series Of earthquakes which
began last November and continued TO
the middle of February caused COM
paratively email loss Of life and did
not damage any of the principal build
ngs materially. The Bank OF Guate-
mala suffered only slightly. Most oil
the property losses occurred in the
poorer residential quarters OF the city.
That there were so few fatalities Vas
due to the inhabitants taking refuge re-
The fields or public squares during the
most severe seismic Disturbances. The
report Of the collapse Of the Colon
Theatre with great loss OF life was
characterized ms untrue. The theatre
VAS empty al the time II the sevcrest
earthquake shock and was not greatly
damaged. Reconstruction work on Il
large scale IL already under way Par
ticuar attention IS beng paid TO the
problem Of making all the rev build
rigs rs nearly earthquake proof as
possible.

nrominenc American finaneier
embarked last week that Russian
government securities, at present
bargain counter prices, were an at
.racrive gamble. That view is widely
held for there IS still much specu-
Iation in these securities, based or
the belief that reputation viii be
repudiated in the end, and that
eventually all Russian bonds will be
maid at sheir full face value, with
accumulated interest. 1t is argued
that Russia VIII never De able to de
yelop her natural resources and for
eirn trade without outside assist
ance. and that bankers of other
countries VIII be unwilling to give
such assistance-in the form of
credits-until the obligations which
are held to 2 total Of hundreds Of
millions OF dollars in France, Eng
land. Japan and the United States
nave been met. In all probability
this belief would prove well founded
If there we're any assurance Of q
united Russia after the war. But
/. must be remembered that Russia
IS composed of many separate
states, with the lines of demarcation
sharply defined. Racial unity, unity
Of language, unity of religion and
of purpose are all lacking. There
fore the struggle of the conflicting
clements to split the empire into a
number Of separate governments
may be successful, and 'self-deter-
rlinaeion' in this case probably
would sc fatal for the holders Of
Russian bonds. The separate states
would hardly be willing to pay off
debts incurred by a government
which had ceased to exist. To make
the point clear, assume that the
South rad been victorious in the
Civil War. There can be no doubt
that she would have refused to en-
terrain a suggestion that she pay
her share Of the Federal govern
ment's debt. If Russia is split III
the situation there will be precisely
the same as it would have been il
this country had the South tri
umphed. Those who speculate If
Russian securities are, therefore, in
digging in a blindfolded gamble.

Transactions IN railroad stocks
we're slightly larger in March than
in February. but nevertheless much
below normal, while the turnover Of
industrial stocks was the smallest
OF any month for several years.
That is convincing evidence of the
apathy of public interest in the mar
ket. It is confirmed by rather
more accurate measure Of public
participation-the volume Of trad
ing in odd lots. Average daily sales
OF odd lots during March we're 80
per cent below the average for Feb
ruary and p per cent less than the
average for 1917.
