s Rson Girl Winner in CaphcS COP. Nomination Contest
Miss Edna Hamilton only contestant to
 pick the nominee

Miss Edna Hamilton, postoffice box 205, Rison, Ark, will receive the $10 offered by The Graphic to the person designating the candidate who would receive the Republican nomination for the presidency, and finding the greatest number of errors in the advertisements on the Republican Nomination Contest page published in Thursdays issue of The Graphic.
 None of the contestants could find many TOTS, and some marked for correction words and phrases which are not erroneous. As, for in- stance the word "cache." Several of the proof reaers thought this should be cash. Cache is perfectly good word, of French derivation.
 The page is reprinted today just as published Thursday, and if you think you are better proof reader than those who sent in corrected pages you might see if you can find more than five errors
 Miss Hamilton was the only one to select Sena- tor Harding to win the nomination. Governor Lowden of Illinois was the fav0rite with the Gra- phic readers 26 per cent of those participating in the novel contest picking him to win. General Wood was second choice with 20 per cent of the contestants. General Pershing and Hoover tied for third place, and Johnson and Hughes follow ing in the order named. The remainder of the ballots scattered.

The Aisne district, destroyed by war,
will never be rebuilt. There arc Il
towns in the Marnc district which will
be abandoned, and probably one hun

at least, the soil on which the villages

According to government advices,
the sites Of these villages are too gan

avoid loss of life the government has
purchased the lond on which the viii
lagos stood and will keep possession
of il until it can be made safe.
These sites are the ones often fought
over, on which the ground has been
turned over and over again, burying
explosives Of all kinds to unknown
depth. There is no trace Of buildings
left in the Is villages, so the refugees

Looking through our dictionary Of
comparatively recent date VIC do not
find that it contains the word 'pron-

with many others. during the war and
we believe referred to those who took
advantage Of war conditions to exact
an unreasonable profit on the ncccssi-
ties Of life as well as the needs of the
government in supplying food ana
equipment for the army. Since the
war the word has como into moro
general use and is applied to any
one, particularly if he lives at dis
tancc, who rcaps the benefit OF the
present orgy Of spending. by scllin"
his wares for all he can get.
Some people make moro money

Slightly Better
Tone in Market
On Dull Trading
Covering by Bears Carries
Some Issues Forward. Al
though Call Money Now
Touches Twelve Per cent

The bears, as we'll as the bulls,
market yesterday and the result was
one of the dullest markets of the year.
The tone of the market underwent
slight improvement as result of
profit-taking by part of the bear ele-
ment. but the movement could hardly
be called impressive. In the full five
hours of trading at the exchange only
trife more than half million shares
changed hands.
lntimations that gold shipments
from London were about to be re-
sumed were responsible for some i'm
provement in sentiment in speculative
quarters. although little buying came
into the market except from the pro-
fessionsl shorts The Bethlehem Steel
issues were under pressure following
the announcement of new equipment
financing by the company, and Lacka-
wanna Steel receded fractionally on
light offering. The other steel shares
displayed a stronger tendency. with
Steel common getting above "a in the
afternoon. The motor shares offered
better resistance to selling than on re-
Gently preceding days. In the rails the
tone was tirmer.
About the only significance that could
be attached to the extremely uninter-
esting and sluggish action of stock
prices was that it indicated continued
unwillingness on the part of the spec
ulative element to enter into new
commitments. The profes ssiona bears
again We're plainly inclined TO take q
more conservative stand with regard
to selling operations, owing TO the Dc
lief that the market position has been
much strengthened by the decline and
is likely to rally on any favorable news
developments. Important financial in
terests are not, however, prepared to
carry on constructive operations until
the credit situation shows improvement.
Borrowers in the Wall Street money
market paid as high as IL per cent for
accommodation in the afternoon after
renewals of call loans had been made
at per cent. Announcement from
Washington that the Federal Reserve
Board plans the transfer of a large
amount of funds from the Eastern Re
serve Banks to those in the interior
aroused much interest in financial
circles. The transfer is to be made. it
is understood. for the purpose of meet
ing the seasonal demands of the agri-
cultural districts and will probably be
effected by having the banks in the
East discount the paper Of the interior
Institutions The movement Of funds
to the interior in recent weeks has
been heavy as q result Of the large de
mands for crop planting purposes and
to assist in financing goods tied up in

! P. Morgan &, Co. yesterday an
rounccd that two additional railroad
sues were fully subscribed on the
first day offered. The Louisville &
Nashville Railroad sold s7,500OoO Of
'cn year : per cent gold notes at par
and the Atlantic Coast Line disposed of

year Investment bankers declared that
her railroads were negotiating loans,
md that new offerings would probably
oo made early next week. Bankers feel
hat there is q real market for high
~rade railroad offerings at per cent
rate. Bond men feel that relatively
small investors are taking most of the
new securities, because. under the pres
ent scheme of taxes, 7 per cent tax

Canadian Merger Predicted
Government Expected to Permit
Half-Biliion Dollar Deal

OTTAWA, May 14.-Contidence that
the Canadian government would permit
completion of plans for the 5000, 900, 900
steel and steamship merger which re-
Gently was the subject of debate in the
Canadian House OF Commons, was ex-
pressed here to-day by Colonel W.
Grant Morden, member of the British
House Of Commons and organizer of
the merger, after conference with
Sir George Foster and other govern
ment officials.
The company, he said. had applied
for permission to increase capitaliza.
tion from 100000 to $500 100000 and
had not applied for permission to in
corporate, as this permission had been
granted by the Secretary of State on
March 22, when letters patent had been
issued to the British Empire Steel Cor
poration. The company's charter, he
said, was broad and gave the necessary
authority for carrying on business in
steel and steamships.
The provisional directors. according
to Colonel Morden, comprise five
Montreal residents.

Steel Merger Less Certain

Wall Street news agencies, which re-
Gently have been sanguine that nego-
tjations for merger Of independent
steel companies was under way, were
not so certain yesterday that a con-
solidation would take place after all
Jones ticker: "While the proposed
independent steel merger involving the
Bethlehem Steel Corporation and the
Lackawanna Steel Company is not defi-
nitcly off, it can be said that many
obstacles have been encountered which
the interests identified with the trans
action may not be able to overcome"
This announcement was followed by
some selling of Lackawanna, and the
stock closed at 7314, the low price Of
the day, for net loss Of 1i2 points
A few weeks ago the stock sold above
80, when rumors Of merger were
given wide circulation.
