Tennessee Goes
From 37th Place
To nth w. S. S

Six weeks ago Tennessee was 37th
from the top of the list of 81 units
fixed for War-Savings organizations,
now 1t is 18th.
This standing is in the one phase OF
authorized agencies When Tennes.
see stood 81 in the list Of states she
led the south with the exception of
Texas. which still leads. 1t is no lit.
tie thing that Tennessee, in the short
time of six weeks has moved up TWEEN
ty places in the "a units. Sales of
War-Savings Stamps in this state are
growing every day. 1t would be dis.
couraging II they were not, but the
growth is rapid and general, beinng
carried every day into new territory.
It is easy to influence people, old or
young. to save and invest In the War
Savings securities when once the
facts OF the war are carried before
them. There are remote corners
where the people have not even heard
as yet, of such thing as a Thrift
Stamp, but in very short time now
this will no longer be the case, and
they will be enlisted in the Thrift
Army. The states quota is $46,O00.-
600, which means that there must be
an average purchase of stamps every
day in the year amounting to $4,000.
The state has not yet reached that
figure. Therefore it will be necessary
to exceed that average as the year
progresses, II the states quota Is to
be met
That is, the daily purchase must be
nearly $4,000. Tennessee's man
power is high. we stand ninth among
all the states in efficiency, as shown
by the draft classification. The gov
is now calling for nearly g.
600 more Of our sons TO enter the
ranks. They will have gone to mobil-
ization environments before the end
Of the month
These add to our responsibility in
saving and lending our money to the
government, since they must be clad.
fed, and equipped after they have
gone to the front.
Tennessee has not failed her boys
in any Of the demands made by the
Liberty Loan issue, the Red Cross,
the Y. M. c. A., or any other and she /
will not fail them in the matter of
Stamps.

RAILWAYS GIVE
UPWARD TONE
Stock Market Shows But
Little Response to
War News.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Aug. 13.-Railroads were
strong again yesterday in Wall
Street and the fact that they could
advance on two consecutive days
cheered traders nightly. They re-
acted slightly in the afternoon, as
did all other stocks on profit TAX
ing. The market as a whole dis
played good tone, although It did
not respond as much as some bank
ers thought 1t should to the war
news. Bankers are waking up to
the importance OF the news from
Russia. which many of them think
is more important than that from
France. Cotton was irregular. break
ing and recovering sharply. Corn
news was no. good, but seemed to
have been discounted.
Interboro Consolidated, both COM
mon and preferred, were weak
throughout tbs day. Tobacco issues
were strong. particularly American
Sumatra and Tobacco Products, the
latter selling Up to ia recent high.
There was good absorption OF Cigar
stores, apparently for new interests.

second quarter of 1913 showed earn
ings OF "a a share. compared with
$3.50 share for the same quarter
last year.
Coal shares were strong. particu-
larry Pittsburgh and West Virginia.
There was an advance OF a point in
each class of the stock and renewal
OF the talk Of a segregation of assets.
Among the railroads st. Paul and
New Haven attracted particular at
tention. although Union Pacific was
the unquestioned leader. It was an
nounced that a conference would be
held tomorrow between Director Gen.
eral McAdoo and representatives Of
the road. 1t was also stated unoffI-
cially that an agreement had been
reached between the committee of con-
troll for the government and the man.
ayers of the road. whereby weak
roads are not to be built up by the
government at the expense Of the
strong systems.
Seems Unreasonable.
This seems an unreasonable agree
ment to make. because systems like
the Erie. which IL the logical freight
line between Chicago and New York,
needs only proper financing to make
1t the equal OF the Pennsylvania. Mis-
souri, Pacific was said by the late Z.
H. Hartman to be as good a road as
Union Pacific except for the fact that
e. H. Hartman happened to take
Union Pacific to develop.
Logical development Of the rail-
roads cannot help but leave the pres
ent strong systems in a relatively
weaker situation. But It should not
inJure them in the least. The coun-
try Is big enough to make all the
railroads successful.
