Wall ST. New York. Aug. 2.-STOCKS-
The stock market gave 4 good demonstra-
ton of restored confidence and optimistic
feeling at the outset today result Of the
wholesale advances in railway freight and
passenger rates allowed by the interstate
commerce commission. Commission houses
were heavy purchasers. buying orders flow
Pools resumed their operations in the spe-
cialties with considerable confidence and
the stock market showed more BREADTH and
activity than for some time Railroad
shares were advanced anywhere from 1
to 3IA points, with investment buying on
quite a liberal scale in the old line divi-
dend paying issues. Low priced shares
which have recently been in popular favor
were also extensively purchased with the
inquiry besides embracing a wide variety of
specialties- United States STEEL Studebaker,
various other faVorite shares were marked
up from 1 to 212 points
The upward tendency OF the market was
abruptly checked by heavy offerings of
various shares in which the technical posi-
ton had been weakened by the driving in
of the short interests. reactions from the
early high levels ranged from 1 to points
with the general selling influenced by the
maintenance Of stiff money rates and weak
ness of sterling. Particular pressure was
eXerted against numerous specialties which
sold below last weeks figure, with acute
weakness in Bethlehem, Nanadlum,
Replogle. Mexican petroleum, Crucible and
Studebake-
Railroads also suecumbed to the weak
ness at other points but there were fndica-
lions of renewed buying at the lower
levels in certain of the dividend paying
issues.

SLIGHT ADVANCES
GIVEN PHONE co.
Countrywide Service Discontinued On
Order Of Public Service Commits
mission

Baltimore, Aug, 10. While the
Public Service Commission yester-
day allowed slight increases in rates
in several branches of the telephone
service they roundly scored the COM
pany for the quality of service rem
dered its patrons.
The Company claimed $1,034, 2O5
for working capital. Commission
only allowed S750,000, on the ground
that the Company's contract with the
Western Electric Company does not
necessitate carrying of large stocks
of supplies aand customers monthly
bills payable in advance provide for
a payroll and other cash require
mentS.
The Commission found the rate
scheduled applicable to the counties
contained many inequalities and
some Determinations.
Countrywide service had been dis
continued in every county previously
enjoying that privilege and local
service areas prescribed, but a few
sections were still allowed inter-ex-
change communication without toll.
In the schedule for Baltimore City,
the Commission has applied the prin-
ciple of making the lowest possible
monthly minimum charge, which af-
fords the same consideration to the
largest and smallest user, and then
prescribing rates that provides excess
usage to pay for its needs.
No increase in measured service in
dividual business and residence
monthly minimum rates are allowed
Slight increases in party line bust
ness and residence rates are per
mitted.
The Commission sharply condemns
the service furnished by the COM
pany.
The reductions made by the Com
mossion in the company's proposed
rates effects a saving to the people
in the State of approximately $145.-
600 and the net rate of return to the
company on the Commission valua-
ton is estimated at $50 per- cent.

Frank Baker May Rejoin
" Yanks, Say His Friends

Easton, Nd, Aug. 18.-It would
not be surprising to see j. Frank
Baker again in harness in profession
al baseball. Now that his wheat is
threshed and sold and other duties
on the farm well taken care of, 1t
looks like he might link up with the
Yankees before long. He leaves
tomorrow for New York merely to
see a few games," but in talking
with Frank one can readily see the
sympathy he has for the New York
team
A friend of Baker recently said:
Frank does not talk much, but L
believe he will be seen in a Yankee
uniform before very long. He enjoys
baseball, and for this reason it IS
hard to keep him out of the game.

FARMERS WILL BUILD
own TOMATO CANNERY
fIuridck Growers Prevented BY High
Prices From COOPERATIVE Project
This Year. Crop Now Rotting In
Fields.

Hurlock, Md, Aug. 1S.-At the
second special meeting called by the
Farmers Exchange of Hurlock to ar
range for canning tomatoes by the
farmers themselves this season it
developed that the local can company
had boosted the price of cans So per
1000 since the last meeting Satur-
DAY night, when the proposition was
first voted upon.
This act of the can company and
the demands of the Gamer, whose
house the farmers were to have used,
practically prohibit the association
from operating a cannery this sea-
son. Steps have been taken, how
ever, by the association to build
Gaming plant of their own for next
year.
The resolution which was passed
at the meeting of the Tri-state Farm
ers' Exchange last Wednesday. that
unless the farmers can get SO cents
basket for their tomtoes this season
they will pillow the crop under Tor
fertilizer, has been voted upon and
ratified by several local associations
of Maryland and Delaware Hun
dreds of baskets of tomatoes are now
rotting in the field in this section,
with the market around 20 and 70
cents. Very few tomatoes are NOV
ing at these prices, as most farmers
say that it costs them Az cents to
grow and deliver the, tomatoes TO a
CanncrY.
At this time it looks as though the
crop will be short in this, section.
With rainfall every day recently ana
not sun following, the vines are fast
going o pieces.

ton, which has occurred in tho faoe
of growing need for additional hous-
ing accommodation, are similar to
those which have brought about re-
adjustments in other lines, and high
costs Of both materials and labor
have probably been more responsible
than any other single factor for the

The tightness Of the money market,

people are determined to consult an
other doctor In the hope that they
may recover from the waste of bill

tax monies and the league contract
Is now to be written by ATTORNEYS for
U. s. A. rather than by the attorneys
for Europe.
The United States will make peace
with Germany, commerce will be re-
sumed. an association with foreign
powers perfected to help maintain
peace IN the world. Economy will be
enforced In public expenditure taxes
reduced and revised and liberty

No longer will schemes OF taxation
be devised to hit the north and miss
the south and no longer will the ma

This Is to become once again a
