CASSVIILE.

The infant son of VIM. P. Bausch
came very near being strangled last
Thursday when something the little
fellow had swallowed became lodged
in his windpipe. They hurriedly took
him to Dubuque where specialist
succeeded in dislodging it by apply
ing air pressure, but before being
able to recover it the babe swallowed
it. The child is again fully recovered.
John Bausch drove down Saturday
with his brother Will and brought the
folks home.
At a meeting of the members of

and used entirely for school purposes.
A committee composed of G. E. Graf

Trapping the Bears

Some Of the close market observers,
who are supposed to be we'll informed
about the character of the trading, as
serted after closing yesterday that buy
ing orders were in the leading stocks
on a large scale and that the offerings
for both long and short account had
gone into strong hands.
They regarded the situation as very
much like that which developed in the
last week of December when an up
ward movement started and was con-
tinued until the mass OF the then exist
ing shorts had been forced to cover at
material losses. 1t had been insisted
by some interests on the Street that as
the time drew close at hand for the
change in administration that event
would be made an occasion for bullish
demonstrations.
1t would be no unusual incident in
connection with market events to have
this incoming administration preceded
by buying movement and 1t was re-
called that on several previous occasions
incoming administrations regarded with
public favor had marked the exertion of
a buying power on an unexpectedly
large scale.

EvENING PUBLIC LEDGER -PHIIA ADEIPH1A THURSDAY
GOSSIP OF
THE STREET

The thought uppermost in the minds
oil the bulk Of the market community Is
whether the predicted inauguration
bulge will be realized. In most every
presidential Inauguration year there
was some sort of demonstration, which,
while not always of long duration, gave
the advantage to those pledged to the
constructive side. Because of the con-
tinued readjustments in world condi-
tions, incident to the war, this year
may prove an exception. although in
the opinion of some market observers
the technical position of the market,
seemingly, favors short display OF
market pyrotechnics.
1t Is traditional that the course of
March stock markets Is upward. From
1897 to 1920, inclusive, March of each
year has recorded an improvement in
railrond and industrial price averages,
with eight exceptions, namely. 1897,
1893, 1908, 1905, 1907, 1910. 1913
and 1910. On the other hand. Feb
ruary has generally recorded decline
In stocks. Last month was no cxcep-
ton to the rule. During the last month
the railroad averages we're as high as
1913, made on the first day Of the
month, against a low of 1892, made on
the closing day. Industrial averages
opened at I5.4S and closed at T4.0S.
So, after all, February may be chron-
iclcd as a month of dullness rather than
weakness. It Is the middle juncture
between the January reinvestment up
lift and the proverbial spring rise.

North American Co.

In spite of the difficult operating con-
ditions, common to all public utility
companies in the last few years, the
thirty first annual report of the North
American Co., covering the calendar
year 1920. shows the groups controlled
by the company to have had an excellent
year. Gross earnings amounted to $780,
Gil 1872, an increase of 1904 per cent
over 1910, whereas, the balance for
depreciation, common dividend and
surplus, was 5000, ,2SS. IN increase
of II 81 per cent, equivalent to S1S.11
per share on the outstanding stock be-
fore reserves. as compared with $15.3S
in the preceding year.
A significant feature of the 1920 re
port Is the small proportion, about 13
per cent, of net income OF subsidiaries
derived from street railways. while
more than II per cent was derived from
electric and heating. and the balance
from gas and coal operations. This
show ing. and the fact that the COM
pany's entire investment in the United
Railways Co. Of st. Louis is carried on
its books at 81. dispel any impression
which may have prevailed that railway
operation Is the principal source Of sub
sidiary net earnings.
A strik ing feature of tho balance
sheet is the investment Of S119. .504.
435 in property and plant, or about
three dollars per dollar Of gross earn
ings. Property and plant investment
increased Sl2.3IG.O41. while capital
liabilities increased only so 0.S0j $40, in

Cops and Street Cars

A prominent interest in the New York
traction companies. in discussing the
metropolitan transit situation yeSter-
day, declared solution of the long
v'xing problem was virtually in sight
and that he felt confident some relief
would be granted by the New York Leg
islature. There are many interesting
angles to the situation with which the
public at large is entirely ignorant. yet
each of these influences has a distinct
bearing upon the situation One Of these
is the question of free transportation
granted TO the police force and firpmen.
How much do you suppose it costs the
street railways of New York city to
transport the police force alone? No
one. strange TO say. has been successful
in figuring this out correctly. Taking
four rides a day for each man as a
foundation for the calculation. and this
would possibly be the minimum of the
nLmber of rides given, it costs the street
railway lines approximately So, 800 900
year. Quite neat little sum, and
there does not seem to be any more
earthly reason know of. why police
man should be granted free transporta-
tion than any other citizen"

Steel Stagnation Cnbroken

In the Steel industry in the past week
the trade journals observe that the stag
nation resulting from independent price
cutting has not been broken. "While
independents generally appear to have
booked sufficiently to maintain their re-
cent scale Of operations" writes the
Iron Age, further recessions in steel
corporation plant activities more def
nitely tell the story" 1t was noted
that in the Chicago district, the corpo-
ration has dropped to GO per cent of
ingot capacity and in the Pittsburgh dis.
trict to GS per cent. The corporation
has 10 fewer blast furnaces active than
on February 1st. The February pro-
duction of pig iron was ,037 .257 tons
against 2.418,292 tons in January. 1t
was noted that the daily average of
G9,1S7 tons was the smallest in six
years save for two months in 1919.

HAVE BEER ALWAYS ON "TAP"

of the tribe spend part Of their time

White men who have tasted It de-
clare it TO be q arst-rate drink OF
fine flavor and heady results. The
beer is kept in enormous Jars, and
to each jar is attached number Of
gourd clippers. The beer Is free TO
anyone or everyone, the only re-
striction being that it be drunk in
the brewery and not with meals. In
spite of this freedom the tribe mem
bers seldom get drunk.
To make sure their women win stay
on as bFew-masters and not go running
off with. other men from nearby tribes,
the girls are taken when ten or twelve
years old and laid on the ground while
q sharp stone is used TO pry and knock

while man like Sims, who was serv-

speak out and denounce the people
