Adequate Return

While local and nearby municipal
authorities are refusing to grant in
creased rates to traction lines in order
to cover higher operating costs, the
Common Council of Newport News, Va,
has authorized and tie Virginia IT'LL
ties Commission has ratified an ad-
vance in the fares of the Newport
Electric Company from cents to 7
cents and on the rate for gas from 81
to S1.10. In making their recommen-
datlon the Newport News authorities
not only took into account the necessity
for higher rates to meet existing CON
dltions, but they went a, step further
and recognized the principle of AIDE
quate return on capital. The rate in
crease therefore, has been adjusted to
a per cent allowance on propertv
investment prior to 1920 and to 5 per
cent on capital that may be invested
IN the property during the two years
IN which the new rates are to be
effective

American Light and Traction

In these days of active competition
tor credit corporations are including
IN their security prospectuses specu-
latlve features which they believe will
attract the investor. For Instance. the
American Light and Traction Company
IN IN CO.. connection with the offering of its
S6,0O0,000 fve-year per cent notes
gives purchasers the right to buy
common stock in the ratio of two
thirds of one share for each 500 face
value of notes, at SLAP share on or
before May 1, 1922; at SAT a share
thereafter to and including May /,
1924, and at $152 share to and includ
ing May /, 1925. Assuming that the
sock sells at $3.50 before May /, 1927
the purchaser of $500 note would
have profit of $50 on the 3 1-3 shares
of stock which he would get at s142 a

Automobile Loans

The Studebaker Corporation. in an
open letter to its dealers, takes strong
exception to discrimination against
auto dealers in the making of bank
loans and advises wherever reason
able credit accommodations are denied
that dealers move their accounts to
other banks conducted on q broad
minded policy" The Studebaker Cor
poration,' the letter continues, "does
business with number of the largest
and most important banks in the United
States and we are therefore in po-
sltion to state for the information of
ouE dealers that these banks consider
the automobile business and the men
engaged in it entitled to legitimate
banking accommodations and credit
and to constructive assistance from
their bankers. Automobile dealers who
are not abusing their credit, but are
using 1T in reasonable amount, have
nothing to fear, as their business is
eslrable and wideawake bankers ap-
preciate it. Competition exists in the
banking business as it does in every
other, and desirable accounts are
sought after by constructive bankers"

GRATING TREES
TO SAVE THEM
Field Mice and Rabbits Bur-
rowed and Ate OFF Bark
For Food
Severe Winter Causes Farmers Much
Trouble.-Fruit Trees Badly
Damaged

Because of great damage done to
many fruit trees by field mice and
rabbits, who burrowed deeply and ate
off the bark because food was so
scarce this winter, Rhode Island farm
ers are being instructed in the best
method of tree grating to overcome
the damage. What is true in Rhode
Island is doubtless true in this Sec
ton.
The first method of preservation is
cutting off small trees so damaged at
the base, and below the encircled belt
of barkless wood Into the top of
this stump is grated, by the cleft
method, live shoots which are kept in
place by wax.
The second method is to trim off
the top of the tree as much as posi-
BILE, so as to lessen the burden of the
bark in carrying food to and from
the roots. Then it is suggested to in
sert scions in the bark at either end of
the gnawed off circle about the trunk,
covering the exposed places with
wax
The third method is much like the
second, but, instead of inserting the
scions at the edge of the bark, they

The fine weather Sunday brought

took trips into the country to satisfy
themselves as to the condition of the
roads. Reports at the end of the day
were that the state highways are in
good condition except in an occasional
spot where the roadway has beer
broken up. Country roads are also
good for this time Of year. One will
experience little trouble if the car is

SUGAR SOLD FOR LESS
THAN IN MILES CITY

Quite an unusual occurrence
was noted in the sugar market
the forepart Of the week when
this commodity retailed locally
ut 81 less a hundred than in
Miles City. This condition
was caused by the merchants
selling old stock without add
ing the last market raise, while
in Miles City sugar was being
sold in accordance.
Local people however soon
had exhausted the supply of
sugar here at the old price and
with the new shipment it was
predicted an advance of sew
eral dollars would be neces-
sary.
