Erie first preferred is ina position
TO make some advance. We expect
to see "A higher and broader market
for all railroad stocks, and Erie first
preferred should advance in SYM
pathy with the rest. There may be
some agitation under the terms of
the railroad contract for the pay

do not however expect that such
dividends will be declared. Beyond
the possibility Of such sympathetic"
advance Erie first preferred is not
otherwise an attractive investment

or Pewter Lane-au of which mean
simply the lane of idlers, fortune tel
lers, or beggars. It has not infrequent-
" been alluded to as Idlers' paradise.
A few conscientious historians. how
ever have striven to give it a Slight
" more prepossessing origin by sug
costing that it was derived from the
name Fewters Lane, meaning 4 lane
where armourers' shops were located
and "fewters" or letters" we're
shaped as rests for spears.
Whatever the origin Of its name,
the fact remains that Fetter Lane has
seen prosperous days, has sheltered
in its time shining literary lights

Plan School to Teach
Operation of Tractors

The International Harvester Com
pany of America proposes to hold
tractor schools in various parts of
the country in order that their users
may get the best possible service out
of their tractors.
One of these schools will be held
in the showroom of the Motor Truck
department, 619 Walnut street,
Thursday and Friday of next week.
The sessions will open at a. m.
The schol will be free to all who
care to attend, whether they are
tractor owners or not. Nothing will
be offered for sale at these schools
and there will be no selling talks.
A course of instruction in how a
tractor works and how to keep it
working will be strictly adhered to.
The instructors are practical trac-
tor and enginemen and the course Is
laid out on large charts illustrated
with clear diagrams and described
in simple terms. 1t takes up the
reason why an engine operates, what
takes place within the cylinder of
an engine, symptoms that indicate
trouble. how to look for
trouble and not overlook it, how to
get the best possible service from a
tractor or engine, new uses for trac-
tors and many other subjects of spe-
cial interest to men in this locality
Those who attend the school will
be encouraged to ask questions on
any subject in connection with trac-
tors and engines. These questions
will be answered at the end of each
session. There will be demonstra-
