It was rather a surprise on the whole
to Wall Street that the rail stocks did
not make a better response than they
did to the news that President Wilson
had signed the Railroad bill in mid
ocean. 1t was the best Of news for the
rails and the equipment stocks. but
strange to say It brought little activity
In these groups. They were firm md
In some cases gained fractionally. but
demonstrated none Of the action many
people In Wall street believe they are
entitled to. The new bill releases
100000. 900 of new funds to the Rail-
road Administration. 1t will enable the
roads to pay their rental contracts. the

More Speeding Up.

So successful has proved the recently
adopted method of shortening the ao-
breviations for various securities as

further changes have been decided on.
This makes the third successive an

in printing the prices Of securities.
Through saving a letter here and let

are especially desirable during such a

months with more than fifty successive

brought out the $4,000, 900 OF Federal
Land Bank Az per cent. bonds. had dis
posed of the entire issue and that the
books have been closed. The syndicate
was composed OF Alexander Brown Sons,

nection with these bonds, which are tax
exempt. the Farm Mortgage Bankers
Association OF America, headquarters
OF which Is In Chicago. is conducting a
strong campaign for the repeal OF that
section OF the Farm Loan act covering
exemptions. 1t Is the attitude of the

that the farm loan bonds and ordinary
farm mortgages are active competitors
and that the tax exemption feature OF
the Farm Loan act places an additional
burden on all tax payers because II
transforms taxable property into tax
exempt property"

day of having violated the terms
of the Anglo-French American
treaty whereby American and En-
gland agree to the aid of France
in case of an unprovOked attack

ton arose out of the fact that
the treaty as Wilson signed it
provides that the treaty must be
presented simultaneously with
the main treaty of peace and that
was not done, indeed that treaty
has not yet been presented and
certain senator's have pointed out
that the secrecy attending it is

Back of the beating hammer
By which the steel is wrought,
Back Of the workshops clamor
The seeker may find the Thought,
The Thought that is ever master
Of iron and steam and steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel!
The drudge may fret and tinker
Or labor with dusty blows,
But back of him stands the Thinker,
The clear-eyed man who Knows;
For into each plow or saber,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must 60 the Brains of Labor,
Which gives the work SOUL -.
Back of the motors humming, g."
Back of the belts that sing,
Back Of the hammers drumming,
Back of the cranes that swing, .:
There is the eye which scans them
Watching through stress and strain,
There is the mind which scans them
Back of the Brawn, the Brain
Might Of the roaring boiler,
Force of the engines thrust,
Sstrength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust.

The Thinker who drives things through !;

Who's making the dream come true!

Washington. Nune 16.-The White
House has inforM2tion that President
Wilson intends to oNour the country
upon his return from France, speaking
in support of the League of Nations.
Names of the cities to be visited by
the president in his Swing around the
circle" We're not made public. Many
cities have invited him to speak on
July A, it was said at the White House
today, and particularly pressing in
vitation came from st. Louis.
White House officials have no defi-
mite information as to the date of the
presidents return from Paris but they
expect him to start for Washington
soon after his visit to BELGIUM, this
week
The president today cabled his ap-
probation of recent addresses of Sen
ators Walsh of Montana, and Robinson
of Arkansas, supporting the League
Of Nations. His message, sent to Sec.
retary Tumulty, said:
They have rendered the country a
great service in supporting the poll
cies which are absolutely necessary to
give the United States its proper stand
ing and Influence in the world"
Announcement that the president
would tour the country served TO re-
vive rumors at the capitol that oppo-
nents of the League of Nations might
force the senate into three day recesses
so they could go to the country at the
same time the president is speaking.
Regardless of whether the recess
plan is adopted, opponents expect to
send out speakers to answer the presi,
dent. Senators Borah and johnson
We're among those mentioned as likely
to be selected.
