One special feature of the pro
gram was that OF dividing the
boys. and girls into II groups for
one period each day at which time
they were guided by special lead
ers who Systematically showed
them the various phases of the
Exposition during the week.
Contests were, held in exhibit
ing, judging and demonstrating in
the farm and home activities on
which the boys and girls have
been working during the year. A
special camp fire program was
conducted each evening at which
time spirited club songs were
\ sung, inspiring addresses were
given by prominent men, anc
awards were announced for the
activities of the day.
On Thursday evening the whole
camp was given free section il
the. grand stand to witness tht
performance of the hypodrome
which included auto polo, fir
works in gigantic portions, thu
most spectacular of acrobatic per
formances and the highest type o
musical entertainment.
On Friday evening the Rotar
ians of the New England State
gave a banquet in honor of tn
boys and girls club members a
which time Secretary Meredith o
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture spoke to them.

IF KNEW

'Tf l knew a box that was large
enough
To hold all the frowns | meet,
l would like to gather them, every one
From nursery, school and street.
Then, folding and holding, I'd pack
them in,
- And, turning the monster key,
I'd hire giant to~drop the box
To the depths of the deep, deep sea.
eff l knew the box where the smiles
are kept,
No matter how large the key,
Or strong the bolt, l would try so
hard
'Twould open, l know, for me.
Then over the land and over the sea-
broadcast,
I'd scatter the smiles to play,
That 1he children's faces might hold
them fast
For many and many day.

ENJOYS A WELL
EARNED VACATION

The prize Plymouth Rock hen
owned by DR.. Charles w. Dunlevy
is enjoying her annual vacation.
This patriotic bird holds a record
which should put to shame that
class of so-called American work
men whose demands for fewer
hours and less labor is arousing
the ire of self-respecting work
men the world over. Although she
is six years old, a truly advanced
age for a hen, she made a record
for the year ending last month, of
1872 eggs.

There was not a single cheap show
or amusement place on the whole
| grounds. In every way it was a
very desirable place for boys and
girls to spend a week while making
study of the developments in the
east. All this program of the boys
and girls club activities was car
ried out in cooperation with the
u. S. Department of Agriculture
and the Extension Departments Of
the State Colleges.

example the Interstate Commerce
Commission were to hand down it's
rate decisions next week following the
award of the Labor Wage Board. Sup
pose that this decision gave the full
amount of the rate increase that the
country is hopinug for. The stock
market we venture to predict, would
not wait for the passing of the higf
money rates. for the Fourth of July or
for anything else. There could be no
long sustained speculation, of course,
without the banking authorities
Intervening. But without unduly
straining ticklish money situation
it is conceivable that the right sort of
rate verdict would transform the
and be followed by month or more
of activity during which there could
be quite a bull movement in some of
the railway shares and in those in
dustrials which are earning a lot of
money and whose earnings outlook is
bright.
One reason why the street has not
been perturbed by this weeks rise
in money rates is because it is be-
ginning to appreciate that these high
rates are more or less normal to the
new financial order and do not indi-
cate any real scarcity of funds. AS
matters stand now the banks have
large part of their money in CONNER
cial loans for which they have to pay

Under such conditions can only move
forward in a limited way-that is. in
stocks which are manifestly selling
under their real values. There can be
no general speculation in the sense
of an infationary process which car
ries prices up indiscriminately and re-
gardless of the value line.
, The bond market is even more cir
cumscribed, for here the exact facts are
known regarding the rate Of return
which an investor may receive. But II
bond prices cannot go up much until
money comes down they are very well
adjusted to the present money condi-
tiens.
The possessor Of Investment funds can
put his money at to 619 per cent into
the same securities from which ten
years ago he could have got only per
cent. He can do more than this. and by
carefully selected list can obtain an
average of per cent with the same
amount of safety that he could have Sc
cured per cent decade ago. Here is
certainly a very important offset to the
person who has saved and has money to
invest, for the high cost of living. More
over, while one hopes and believes that
in time living costs will come down, the
owner of investment funds who goes in
at this level of prices and buys judi
ciouSly will be getting advantage OF the
extraordinarily high return on capital
not temporarily, but for all time.

STEEL FACING STRIKE
HANDICAP; /; IRON FIRM

NEW YORK. June 26.-In addition
to operating handicaps caused by the
expansion of the railroad mems
strike, as result Of which shipments
have slowed down. the steel industry
| is confronted with a threatened strike
by the Amalgamated Association of
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers. unless
the operators agree to the terms of

Despite an exceptionally light de-
mand for iron, owing to difficulty in
placing orders, the market holds firm
with basic strong at s44 Pittsburgh dis
trict. and Gray Forge grade advanced TO
$44.40. Shippers, who report large or
ders from foreign interests. are hav-
ing extreme difficulty in facilitating
shipment, as Philadelphia. New York
and Baltimore are practically closed
to foreign tonnages by railroad en-
bargoes and congestion. On that ac
count Norfolk and New Orleans have
been the principal export terminals
Copper is quiet, as no buying move
ment has started as yet for third
quarter requirements. Exports have
also fallen off more than so per cent
from last month.
The reduction by leading interests
of their lead price had little infiu-
ence on the statistical strength OF
the market, because of the great
scarcity of metal. However. large ar
rivals were recently reported from
Mexico at eastern ports.
Tin prices are higher than the levei
earlier in the week, although demand
has decreased
Zinc was firm few days ago. but IS
slightly easier, due to large supplies
of metal and light buying. Not Ton

NEW YORK. June 26.-The stock
market this week has acted in entire
conformity with the analysis of sold
out condition. High rates for call
money, the recurrence of outlaw rail-
way strikes, the cutting Of the dividend
by one of the representative copper COM
panies--in fact. all items of unfavorab BILE
news-have fallen fiat. They have failed
to bring out real liquidation and where
prices have moved at all they have gone
upward.
In the greater part of the list it has
at all times been easier to sell than to
buy. These are the accepted character
istics of a market which has been thor
oughly liquidated and which is only
awaiting a sufficient impulse to break
out of its rut and do better. Wall
street discussion has been occupied with
considering what this impulse will be.
Some think that the market is waiting
for the San Francisco nominations.

them tx per cent. Therefore an 8
per cent renewal on the stock ex-
change is about in proportion to the
prevailing schedule. Below this fig
ure the banks are able to make little
or nothing out of their Wall street
loans and when the call money rate
gets down to or under it is only
natural that the banks which are pay
ing Z to federal reserve institutions
should call in their advances to the
stock exchange. 1t is not then case
of money scarcity when we see the
renewal fixed at 8 per cent and from
s to 10 per cent paid for new loans
These rates, when measured by the
new standard of federal discounts, are
normal, and it is. the per cent money
rate that would be abnormal.
There can be no lasting decline in
the price of money until the general
credit position has become sufficiently
debated to warrant the federal reserve
banks in reducing their discount
charges. No one believes that any
such reduction is likely in advance of
the crop-moving period, and this
means that no downward revision
be looked for until next January at
the earliest.
For another six months we may ex-
pect to see 8 per cent the ordinary
call money rate and 8k the ordinary

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. June 26.-Prospective
better transportation eased the corn
market today, but the effect was
more than counterbalanced later by

closed firm, to IN net higher, with
July 1.76% to 1.76h and September
1.69x to 1854. Oats gained to 2k.
In provisions the outcome ranged
from decline to 20 advance.
At first the bulls in corn were at
an evident disadvantage. owing to
announcement by the Railway Labor
Board that q retroactive wage award
would be given out on or before
July 20. This announcement was
generally taken to mean improved
efiiciency in trafiic operations. The
declines which resulted, however,
opened the way for shorts to elim-
mate risk on contracts open over
Sunday. Meanwhile forecast of a

hot wave led to increased anxiety
regarding the oats crop, which is
now at critical stage. Bulges in
the oats market ensued and q good
deal of tho late strength of corn was
plainly due to the action Of oats.
Unfavorable crop reports from IL

injury that might be occasioned by

night VIII CHI was attended by 500
persons. Congressman Hernandez
was the principal speaker with Man
uel Martinez, secretary OF state, Ed.
Stafford, candidate for auditor and
Sidney We'll, candidate for state
senator as the other speakers.
Congressman Hernandez declared
he would rather give another period
of his life without pay if he could
help in keeping America out of the
league of nations. He declared the
{ rst essential of patriotism is love
Of ones country and that il did not
mean the giving of lives of our men
TO the beck and cali of foreign ma
tons. The great majority of the
democrats are blindly following the
idea of the league OF nations. he as
serted because it is fostered by
Woodrow Wilson. 1t is not to be
assumed he said that because the
republicans had undertaken the
fight on the league of nations to get
a true referendum that [ was a par
tisan move and he said a great many
democrats are nov seeing their err
ror in blindly following Wilson and
that is why Harding is gaining in
strength.
Manuel Martinez read the names
of all candidates on the state ticket
and pointed out their qualif cations.
He got vigorous applause at every
mention of the name of Judge
Mechem, candidate for governor.
Ed. Stafford told why soldiers are
against the league OF nations, He
said that when he and other men
were in the army they were good
-oldiers and did not think of criti-
cisinR the administrat on, but nov
that the war was over, they were az
liberty TO speak. He cited ineffi.
ciencies in the management of the
war and stressed upon the handling
of the insurance department claims
and reinstatements since the close o.
the war. He said he had yet e
find an ex-service mar who stood
for tho Wilson program as related ~
the league of nations.
Sidney We'll spoke upon the plat
form of the republicans of the state
He defended the republican of thu
state. He defended the republican
record on taxation and said no dem
ocrats had raised objection to ex-
isting laws until after the r-n"h''

FROM A GEORGIA PAPER

The presidential primary in Geor-
eia was a sufficient warning to the
men who formulate the party creed
that two thirds of the voters in
Georgia were opposed to the League
OF Nat ons covenant, as brought
back from Paris by President VIII
son. II was clear that for the
United States to enter such a league
without throwing about our mem
bership, every safeguard necessary
for the preservation of the sover-
eighty OF this government and the
integrity of the Constitut on would
be to embark upon a most perilous
enterprise.
The Incorporating and even.
autocratic manner in which the
President has sought to thrust this
unqualif ed document down the
threats of the American people
aroused against him a keen hostil-
ity. He seemed to forget that the
Senate of the United States was
charged by the constitution with the
duty of giving its adv ce and consent
before any treaty was ratified and
that the majority of the Democratic
members OF the Senate. who differ
ed materially from him on the treaty
had a right to be regarded as LOYAL
as well as himself, par
ticular1y on an 'ssue which had
been an article of the party
All this was plainly to be seen in
