URGES PURCHASE OF
FOREIGN SECURITIES
Francis Sisson Says L. S. In

Vital Necessity.

American Investment in foreign secur-
tiles is a vital necessity Of the present
world economic situation, according to
Francis II. Sisson. vice-preeident OF the
Guaranty Trust Company OF New York.
and particularly important for those d.
rectly dependent on the maintenance Of
foreign trade. In an interview yester-
day Mr.. Sieson said
at needs no great insight into world
conditions to understand that the pres
ent abnormal situation cannot continue
Practically all the great nations Of Eu-
rope are heavily in debt to us. The bal
ance of trade is overwhelmingly In our
favor and this double Indebtedness and
the great cost Of the war has thrown the
economic relations OF nations out or
equilibrium. The present state Of ex-
change is ample proof OF the perils OF the
situation. The premium on the dollar is.
in itself, an effective restriction on those
sales abroad which are needed for the
preservation of our own Industrial sta
bility.
THE nations Of the world need our
goods, but they cannot hope to sell us
sufficient goods in return TO offset our
own sales to them and pay the interest
on the money they owe us. We should
not look complacently upon any attempt
whether by visible or invisible tariff, to
bar permanently our great list OF manu-
featured products from other countries
The nations which are our debtors natu-
rally resort TO this means as ono way
to remedy their own difficulty. They
cannot carry II very far. fortunately. for
their need is too great. and moreover,
we, on our side. are awakening to the
realization that the prosperity OF the
country depends upon increased produc-
ton, and that consequently II behooves
US TO expend our foreign markets, in
stead OF letting them contract.

FLOCK HURRIES
TO AID PASTOR
Elkton Folk Object to Title of
Marrying Parson For
Mr.. McElmoyle.

Eikton, Md. Nov. 24.-Many resi-
alleged attempt of three elders OF
the Elkton Presbyterian Church to
oust the Rev. John McElmoyle from
his position as pastor because of the
great number Of marriages at which
he has officiated.
Warren j. Haines, q member of
the congregation, charges that the
marriage record of Mr.. McElmoyle
is being used as pretext in a fam
lily feud which is the outcome of a
long series of disputes between the
pastor and the elders of the church.
"Mr. McElmoyle has been unjustly
called the marrying parson' of Elk
ton" said Mr.. Haines. "As a matter
OF fact he ceased marrying any
couples, except those whom he knew
or those known by his friends, way
back in January. And even before
that time there were pastors in this
town who were officiating at more
marriages than he was.
There was one pastor who was
known to have gone to the train to
get the couples as they landed here.
But Mr.. McElmoyle never engaged
in any such practices, and all the
marrying that he did was entirely
proper"
Mr.. Haines said that the question
had been settled long ago, and that
he and the great majority of the
congregation regarded the attacks
Us pretext to get Mr.. McElmoyle.
The three elders in question, al
though still retaining their positions
in the church, did not attend the
services yesterday and have not par
ticipated in activities of the congre-
cation for a long time, it was said.

WAKING A NEBRASKA Y

IN the southwestern corner of the
map OF Nebraska, there's a little
dot which indicates the town of
Holdrege, Holdrege has some 5000
people. But because 1T has also a
commercial association that is really
alive to the possibilities of the place,
it has demonstrated to every ones
satisfaction that Just because q town
is small it is not necessarily dead
also.
Here's one of the stunts that helps
to make the town a better place to
live in and to do business in, as 1t
is told by a Holdrege businessman
in System.
The school teachers of this section
of the state, comprising several
counties, hold an annual convention.
Two years ago we secured the con-
vention for this town. The town au-
ditorium was placed at the disposal
of the association which met for
three days, the expenses incurred for
the use of the building being met by
the funds of the Commercial Club.
One of the big things about this
convention is the entertainment fea-
ture. 1t must be out of the usual
so high grade as to cause an attend
ance from miles about. So CALI

of her coming being guaranteed by
the Commercial Club, which was to
be reimbursed by the receipts from
her concert.
To secure a singer of this emf
nence for so small a town as this is
a feat in itself. Wide publicity was
given to her coming. Seats were put
on sale early and one of the largest
| crowds that ever came to this town
| for an event of like nature heard the
wonderful voice of the singer. The
| town itself received a great deal OF
| comment in other papers for its
/ ability to put over a deal of this
| kind.
Now where people. especially in
rural communities. expect to hear
a singer of this character, good
| clothes are wanted and for days
| before the event both men and
| women were deciding upon and buy
ing things to wear and we and thc
other stores OF the town realized
| handsomely upon the occasion.
| This convention was he'd here
| again this wear in April. with Nine
Aida and Mr.. Taft as the program
features.
