CRYSTAL SPRINGS FISH
HATCHERY OPERATING

A mile or so south of Springfield Is
the Crystal Springs fish hatchery still
in operation. It has been tried by
different arrangements and on differ
emit lines and methods and has not
always been successful. 1t is being
operated now by Mrs. w. r. Leach.
This is Mrs. Leach's first year at
handling the hatchery and the fish
and she is very much encouraged
over the success attained so far. Out
of 100000 trout that were Matched
she has marketed $4,000 and has q
large crop coming on. She says the
only loss she has had has been from
not handling them properly at first
when she was inexperienced, and
from the natural enemies Of the
trout. The blue herring and the
pelicans are the worst. They hover
around the edges Of the pond and
snap up hundreds of the little fellows
for single meal. She is modifying
the European plan Of stretching wire
around the ponds to keep the enemy
out. She uses the poultry netting,
stretched along the edge of the ponds
where the herring and the pelicans
like to wade in and that interrupts
the wading. They do not like to
light out in the water and they have
a peck of trouble getting to the min
nows after the poultry netting has
been stretched and placed in posi-
ton. The Crystal Springs hatchery
is at the old Garlic ranch and there
are three punches of springs form
ing three separate sets of ponds that
have been connected and controlled
by headgates and streams so there is
large feeding ground for trout.
Mrs. Leach's plan Of operating is to
let the trout follow their natural in
clinations in all things and to live
on the native food in the moss and
water cress. A former management
that fed them on artificially prepared
food did not get any better results
that way than when they lived on
the native food of the ponds and
springs.

FEW IDEAS or REAL VALUE
Wireless Telegraphy and Telephony
Are Still Comparatively In the
Stages Of infancy.

"As every one knows, 1t Is COM
paratively simple thing to get patent
on anything, so long as you have a
good patent attorney and are able to
incorporate few new knickknacks In
your device. But such a thing as
really new idea. not to speak OF a
basic one, is scarcer than the proverb-
ial hens teeth
Thus 81. Gernsback, in the Radio
Amateur News, comments on the
rarity of anything new in wireless
telegraphy or telephony. Inventors, he
says, content themselves with making
improvements In existing devices.
These are good, but inventors should
not get the idea that the last word
has been said in basic principles. He
says some one will probably discover
more sensitive detector than the
vacuum tube; some one will devise a
better transmitter; some one will in
vent a receiver that makes use Of the
eyes instead Of the ears. "Get on the
beaten path" he says.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES
GO OUT OF BUSINESS

BOSTON.-Here's an answer to
question, What are the temperance
societies doing since prohibition
came in?"
The church temperance society of
the Episcopal church has gone out Of
existence.
The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union is planning to turn its
fire on other forms of immortality.
The Unitarian Temperance society
will attack all social evils.
The Massachusetts, Total Abstin-
ence society has become inactive.
Temperance societies in general
have let up. No longer are collec-
lions taken in the churches for tenn
perance work.

issues. The interest yield is expected
to begin receding unless the invest
ment market is swamped with new
issues. In that instance no recession
would be expected until the undi-
gested offerings we're absorbed.
Investment bankers state that
there is an unusually large surplus
Of funds seeking investment at this
time in all parts Of the country. This
Is declared to be especially true with
regard to the medium classes as EVIL
denced by the fact that average sub
scriptions to new loans are now the
smallest in the history Of the bond
market. New offerings are daily
coming to, hand and those companies
and nations which about two months
ago were unable to finance their re-
quirements are now readily having
their needs filled.
New railroad financing is negligi-
BILE.
The inability Of our arteries Of
commerce to secure new funds Is de-
laying and holding up improvement
and betterment programs. Notwith-
standing this handicap the transpor-
tation companies are reporting
steady Improvement in the handling
of the business of the country.
A revival of confidence on the part
OF the public in the future Of the
transportation companies is found in
the better inquiry reported.
Rumors presist Of probably rail-
road cancellations, but these are
classified as mere rumors" by i'm
portant bankers and Howard Elliott,
chairman Of the Northern Pacific
and who says he "slept with the
transportation act" SAYS that merg-
ers cannot be put thru until the
interstate commerce commission
formulates it's plans for consolida-
ton of the railroads of the country
into q limited number of systems.
Price, Cutting Evident
Price-cutting is becoming the
order of the day. The automobile
companies are expected to be fol-
lowed by the tire manufacturers, who
it is reliably stated, have about three
months output on their shelves.
Active preparations are being
made by the New York stock ex-
change to create a much broader
market for foreign securities. An
important step in this direction will
undoubtedly be taken this week
when the exchange is expected to
make an announcement of the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee, the
duties of which will be to formulate
plans for the listing of foreign Sc
curities.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Despite an
unfavorable bank statement and the
strike of the Welsh coal miners, the
financial district begins new week
with q distinct change for the better
in sentiment with regard to the
quoted market prices for securities.
The increased confidence in the
future course Of stock market prices
IL born Of a belief that there will be
further reductions in the prices of
commodities and that the steady, but
persistent Liquidation Of inventories
by the industrial companies will. re-
lease sufficient funds to finance these
enterprises In need of additional
capital and enable the appartionment
Of larger volume of money for use
In the security markets.
Large banking houses state that
already there Is disposition on the
part Of the banking institutions to
lend money more freely on securities.
Up to about two weeks ago banks
and trust companies were reluctant
to lend money on securities collateral
owing to the tightness of the money
market and the fact that the loans
could not be rediscounted at the
federal reserve bank. To keep their
funds more liquid the banking in
situations placed their surplus funds
to work in acceptances and CONNER
cial paper on which they could re-
borrow II necessary.
The banks and trust companies
continue to buy acceptances, but be-
cause of the uncertainty now sur
rounding the industrial situation are
discriminating and reducing loans
to manufacturing companies, especi-
ally those comparatively new con-
Germs Of mushroom growth, many of
which, it is expected, will have to be
recapitalized when the commercial
shoe begins to pinch. For this rea-
son the banks prefer to lend on Sc
curities for which there is ready
market. This disposition is growing
and is expected by investment houses
to spread. It is now much easier for
Wall street to obtain money from the
banking institutions than it has been
more than a year.
Interest Lower
Increase in the supply of money
for dealings in securities is expected
to result in a lowering of the yield
on new security offerings. Quite a
number of prominent investment
bankers are of the opinion that the
peak has been reached with 8 per
cent the popular yield on new bond

OOrToSpOuuSuIj
NDON.-Measured by the casu-
atty lists the number of towns
sacked and burned and the violent
pitched battles in which property
was destroyed on a great scale, Ire
land has passed into a state OF
armed rebellion which may result In
the devastation Of the whole country
unless peace is soon restored. The
International News Service today
sought and secured from both the
British government and representa-
tives of the Sim Fein official list of
figures to show the people of Ameri-
ca how far the devastation of life
and property has proceeded in Ire
land. These figures are for the per-
iod of time between January and
September %. The Irish office
that branch of the British govern
ment which deals with the admins
tration of Irish affairs-gave the fol-
lowing statement:
Policemen killed, presumably by
Sim Feiners, since January is 1O2.
These men were murdered in the
execution of their duty. The SER
iously wounded totalled, attacks on
police barracks including those who
we had deserted because of their iso-
lated location, numbered 673. Court
houses burned aggregated IS. Four,
hundred and eighty-five vacated bar,
racks were destroyed. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate the financial loss
to the government. The various at
tacks and waves of incendiarism
caused damage running into millions
of dollars. Sim Fein raids to seize
arms numbered at least 800 and in
this at least 80 civilians were killed.
There were 500 raids against We
hicles carrying mail. The Sim Fem,
ers have enrolled an army of not less
than 100000 men. 1t is impossible
to get a fair jury trial because any
man joining in a verdict which is
opposed to Sim Fein theories and
is liable to assassination"
Irish Statement
Arthur O'Brien, so-called Irish
ambassador in London replied to the
government statement as follows:
"Since the first of January fifty
civilians were killed in Ireland by
the police or soldiers. Thirty-three
of them were murdered. Over one
hundred civilians were wounded in
military raids and attacks. Eighty
nine towns have been raided, sacked
or destroyed by police or military
forces. The constabulary raided the
residences of suspected Sim Fem
ers and various headquarters but
there were so many Of these raids
it is impossible to estimate them. 1t
Is impossible to estimate the arrests
also. But for example in the week
ending September IS there were
forty-seven arrests. The British
government connives at the looting
of property by armed forces. 1t has
only the power of authority con-
ferred by the presence of an army of
invasion and this will be lost eventu-
ally"

there are 10000 members of the

of Swedish geological expedition
by Baron Gerard De Geer, which viii ar
rive here Aug. 10.
Baron De Geer, in addition TO his repu-
tation as an eminent geological explorer,
occupies a position in Sweden as chief OF
the geotechnical commission of railways.
I'M this capacity he gives advice as to To-
cation of rights of way with respect to
the solidity and permanency OF earth
formations.
Shortly after his arrival in this country
Baron De Geer will go to Lake Champaign
to take up his geological Investigations.
From there he will go north and west
into Canada, possibly as far as the
Rocky mountains, and afterward will re-
turn east and begin detailed study OF
the Hudson and Connecticut valleys.
In this latter part of his work Baron
De Geer will have the cooperation OF
some of the first ranking American geolo-
ciets, who have organized a reception
committee to meet the Swedish explorer
on his arrival. Among these are Henry
Fairfield Osborn, president of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History; John
III. Clarks, director of the New York
