Last year the destructive beetle in
this city, some OF them over 100 years
old, and wrought untold damage. The
eims are one of the citys most beau

Acting under directions OF the de-
partment OF agriculture, and Profess
SCR r. j. Grimes. of the botanical de-
partment of William and Mary, the
college authorities have engaged a
man to spray all the trees on the
campus The grubs Of the beetle are
already at work, and the first brood
will eat many of the treeS' leaves. but
the college authorities believe that the
spraying will exterminate the beetles
of the second brood. According 70
Professor Grimes. unless the spraying
is done Immediately and effectively
the work Of the beetles win result In
the killing Of all the trees.
The city has taken no action ye

Senator johnson himself, returning
to Washington at a late hour from his
Indiana campaign, expressed himself
as being extremely gratified by the ire
mendous vote given him. He regards
it as a triumphant vindication OF his
course against the treaty and re-
newai OF the confidence which his
friends in California have heretofore
had In him During the treaty hight.
many OF Johnson's best friends in Cal
ifornia stood for the league and fell
out with him on that issue; apparently
they are nearly all back IN camp and
are with him on that and every other

Senator Borah believes that John
sons victory in California will eiimi-
nate not only Hoover, but General
Wood. He pointed out that the DIFF
ference between the Johnson support
ers and Wood delegates is that john
sons friends are sincerely with him,
while a great proportion OF the
Wood delegates have been won merely
by the expenditure Of large sums Of
money.

Trade at Standstill
Little Business Between L. S
and Scandinavia

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26-Ame erican
trade with the Scandinavian countries
is practically at standstilll pending
reopening of Russian markets and a
more favorable exchange situation
Norman F. Anderson, trade commits
sioner at Copenhagen, to-day advised
the Department of Commerce.
After the armistice, Mr. Anderson
said, Norway, Sweden and Denmark
loaded IN with American goods, ex-
pectlng resumption Of trade with Rus
sla. but unsettled conditions in that
country have left the imports on their
hands and they are overstocked. The
outlet TO Germany lso has been cut
off, he added, because of the failure of
many German firms to live up to their
contracts and the efforts of the Ger
man government to equalize the ex-
change rate by a virtual embargo on
interchange of goods.
Great Britain, Mr.. Anderson report
ed, is rapidly taking the place the
United States occupied in trade with
Scandinavia during and imm ediately
after the war. British merchants are
willing to extend three to four months
credit. he added. while Americans do
change with Great Britain is not as
unfavorable as with America. he said.
An "rican firms and banks are estab-
lishis.g connections in the Scandina-
Wan countries, Mr.. Anderson stated,
and what amounts to the ground work
for future trade with Russia is being
laid by business concerns who expect
to develop the Russian market when
conditions permit.

Lake Erie "a per cent consolidated bonds.
These pay their interest far. but their
price (about 45) is not reassuring Is this
property good one and likely to be bene-
fitted by the new tarlf?-G L. H
Answer-It depends upon whether or
not you are willing to speculate upon
the future of the railroads, as to the
advisability Of retaining or keeping
your stocks and bonds. With increased
rates the road should do better. Pere
Marquette already has managed to earn
very satisfactorily, and dividends on
the preferred stock are being earned.
What the policy of the company will
be regarding payments on this issue
remains to be seen. We see no reason
for selling railroad securities at this
time, provided one can afford to specu-
late upon the future, for it seems to US
that the outlook is more favorable than
for some time past. The same may be
said Of the Wheeling & Lake Erie
bonds. The road has been through re-
organization and while the Az per cent
bonds are not high grade, the higher
rates should benefit the road consider

Changes Feverish

Nervous Trading: Cana

The what market was quiet dur
ing the greater part Of the day and
there was 4 noticeably nervous un-
certone. Price changes were fever
ish ard irregular and at the close
the December position was un-
changed for the day, while March
was &c net lower.
The export demand was less &C

until the end Of next March. The
export demand was slow, with only a
moderate business with the Cont

principal reason for the poor de-
mand from Great Britain at present
is due to the fact that they have al
ready accumulated quite large sup
plies and are awaiting developments

Income Bonds Are Sold Flat

Question: bought one $1,000 and one
$500 bond Of the st. Louis 6. san Fran
my bank. They did not charge me any
accrued interest. have always paid
accrued interest on bonds. but maybe this
is an exception. When do they declare
the dividend? Are Cities Service Bank
crs shares at s32 and Inspiration Copper
at s47 O good buy for holding them six
months to a year?-F D. W
Where the interest on a
bond is payable if earned, the bond
does not carry accrued interest. St.
Louis & San Francisco income per
cent interest is payable October /, out
of the available net income of the
company for the fiscal year ended June
so. Both Cities Service and Inspira-
tlon Copper are very speculative. The
general market has been greatly de-
pressed lately. Perhaps this fact
should make many issues more at
tractive.
