Beside his grave, away with God.

Settling" Your Estate

Did you ever trace in your
thoughts the process of "sett-
ling" your estate after your
demise?
A thing as inevitable as the
setting OF today's sun.
The disposition of your
business interest, doubtless
not quite ready" for such
an event;
Or else arranging for their
continued management by
successor to yourself, per-
haps not as capable or as
versed in the business as
you;
The taking over of your
personal investments and
their competent care;
The transferring of your
unfinished plans to those
who do not understand your
purposes.
Man an estate suffers, and
even becomes a liability to
heirs by conditions which the
death of its creator precipi-
tates.
There: II is well for a
man in middle life to create
out of his property the kind
of an estate contemplated in
the Equitable Trust Plan
a perfect family protection.

surance for his business, too.

In a lonely graveyard.
Where the trees their branches wave:
Lies our dear beloved brother,
In his cold and silent grave.
Just one year has passed dear brother,
Since we saw thy loving face;
And We know there is no other
Who can fill the vacant place.
You will never be forgotten.
Never shall our memory fade,
Sweetest thoughts shall ever unger,
Round the grave where you are laid.
His memory is as dear today,
As when the hour he passed away.
God called him home, II was His will.
But in our hearts We love him still
Sweet it will be on that Isle
So free from sorrow and pain,
With happy hearts and smiles
To meet one another again.

Stocks Touch Lowest
Prices in Three Years;
Steel Quoted at 8Oaa

New York, Nov. 17.-After a brief
respite, in which. hopes were entertained
Of recovery from the disturbing CON
ditions which have attended almost every
session since election day, the stock
market met with fresh liquidation and
short selling Wednesday. The general
list fell to lowest prices for one to three
years, United States Steel making a
new low for three years at sos.
Wednesdays break was the more sur
.prising because the market began with
show Of firmness, attributed princi-
pally to the assurances from banking
headquarters that the protracted de-
cline of securities and commodities had
uncovered no points of financial weak
ness.
The same assurances were tempered
however, with the statement that furth
er liquidation would have to be effected,
especially in retail branches Of trade,
before confidence in the general business
situation could be restored.
General Chemical, on a single sale of
100 shares, dropped 1914 points, and
Famous Plyers represented the theatri-
cal or film issues at loss of II points.

to pass them and was pushed back.

Athens, Nov. 17.-One Of the cleo

fore resigning, issued the strictest or

The newspapers opposed to veni-
zelos announce that most of the Veni
zelist functionaries will be retained In
the new government.
1t is the frequently voiced opinion of
political observers here that Lloyd
George favors the return of Prince
George, eldest son Of former King Con-
stantine, to the throne, and that the
British prime minister indicated aban-
donment Of Venizelos three weeks ago
by his notification that Great Britain

ANTHRACITE PROGRAM
Wholesalers Work to Remove
Causes of Price Increase and
Restricted Distribution, Claim.

New York, Nov. 17-Wholesale an
thracite coal dealers have rounded out
a program which they assert will drive
out of the coal business the elements
which have tended to restrict distribution
and increase prices to consumers"
Meeting here, they adopted recon-
mendations of their fair price committee
restricting to two the number of middle
men between the mine and the retailer
and providing that no wholesaler shoIld
take more than ten per cent maximum
gross profits on any transaction. 1t was
decided that the sale of coal by a mine
agency or representative should be con-
sidered one Of the permissible transac-
tions. The recommendation that maxi
mum gross profit to wholesalers should
not exceed ten per cent should not be
taken as in invitation to wholesalers to
take that profit" a statement issued by
the Wholesale Coal Trade association
said
Other resolutions seeking to cut
down the number of middlemen and
thwart brokers and wholesalers who
have no established business and Glen
tele, to the end that outlaw buying and
consequent fictitious and artificial
prices might be prevented, were
adopted.
