RadiaI Tether for Animals.

To tether his COW so as to admit
of its having large feeding range,
and yet so as TO be perfectly secure
and require no attention, a Pennsyl-
vania man adopts the following
method: He took pole, 20 or 80 fit.
In length, piyoted at one end and fit
ted with an iron ring large enough
TO slip along from end TO end. The
small end of the pole was supported
by a light metal wheel from some
old farm implement, or wooden one
cut from piece of plank. The ami
NAL was fastened with halter chain,
too short TO get tangled up with
the animals legs.

TREATMENT OF THE NEGRO
Cleveland Advocate

There many people in this country who to
put il mildly do not care much what is done to
the Negro in the South. Lynching they naturally
abhor, but to diSfran- educational opportunities
they are to speak plainly, Indifferent. They
dodge their responsibility by saying that they
guess if they lived in the South they would do
what the Southerners are doing Their attitude is
not TO be commended because it really hurts the
Negro but it is Ineligible and it is not atfrma-
lively hostile
But if these people, in a sense, condone the de
NAL to the Negro of his constitutional rights, they
do not condone hypocrisy in the matter, Speef-
cally, they have no use for protestations of an
almost passionate sympathy for oppression of
races elsewhere such as President Wilson has so
frequently uttered, when accompanied, as in his
case by caginess toward the state of the Negro
in the South where his electoral votes come from

Curb Market Weak.
But Some Issues
Display Strength

The general run Of stocks in the out
side market were subjected to selling
pressure yesterday, but this did not
prevent special issues from advancing
IN few instances to new high rec
ords.

IN the oil group. That stock went to
q new top price of 561s on turn
over of 1O,500 shares, and closed at the
high: This issue represents the new

100 shares for each share of the old
stock. On the basis of yesterdays high
price, the old stock was selling at bet
ter than $4,000 share.
Houston Oil was under pressure
again and fell to 165, after opening at
1859. Gilliland Oil got up to 461a, but
yielded about point from its high at
the close. Shell Transport and Trad

strength.
There was a more active market in

Assets Realization

Question.-K Kindly give me any in
formation you have on Assets Realiza
tion Company. Some years ago it was
about 100 and paid dividend, but has
lately been around So Do you con-
slider it fair speculation-J. A.
Answer:-It was recently stated by
the president Of the Assets Realization
Company that the company had entered
into contract with a former officer
whereby the company and the officer
were to divide equally the result of the
unearthing of hidden assets. The re-
suit has been that the company has
been advised that it owns one-fourth
to one-half the mineral rights in 5000
acres of land in Gray and Donley
counties, Tex. The value of these
rights is unknown at present. This
has undoubtedly led to some drying of
the stock. which, of course, offers a
speculative possibility.
