In Melnoriam

In loving memory of our low.
ed one, Mrs. Yvonne Coe, who
died May 81, 1920.
T'is hard to break the tender
cord,
When love has bound the
heart;
T'is hard, so hard, to speak the
words
Must we forever part?
Dearest loved one, we have laid
thee
In the peaceful graves
embrace
But thy memory will be cher
ished
TIL we see thy heavenly
face.
Inserted by father, mother
brothers and sisters, Mr.. anC
Mrs. J. G.. Paradis and family

baseball happenings

Island Pond lost at Newport
or. Thursday of last week by
the score of 8 to 2 in a eleven
inning game. The game was a
pitchers battle between Good
man and McSweeney, the lat
ter having a shade the best of
the argument. On Saturday,
however, the Island Pond team
evened the score by winning Is
to 10 on the home field, knock
ing both Bacon and Wells from
the box. Lasky pitched well
fr Island Pond but was not fore
ed tc exert himself owing to the
early lead piled up by his team
mates.

|B|C BOND TRADE
At HIGHER PRICES

NEW YORK. September 23.-The
\ sbroadest and altogether the most Wig
orous bond market of the season was
shown today. In extent of advance,
than any SO far. 1t was the prompt
response to the reduction in open
market discount rates which fol-
lowed the lowering of the Federal
Reserve Bank rates yesterday. Prac-
tically everything of Importance on
of all classes again in the lead. At
the same time trading was on the
increase.
In the foreign government section
Norway Ss crossed 106 for the first
time. Swiss IS, Brazil IS. the Ca
madam issues and Uruguay IS all inn
proved a quarter to half point.
The principal interest centered.
however. in the issues of private
corporations. promising, even after
the recent rise a high rate of yield.
1t was the feeling that these, rather
than the old line bonds. were the ones
which had the greatest possibility of
gain in the readjustment to lower in
terest rates that is now under way.
New Highs Reached.
Great Northern Is touched 104 for
the first time, the Burlington Gas
reached a new high likewise. and so
did Chicago and Northwestern 61as at
1O2. New York Central debenture IS
got across 95 for the first time this
year. Pennsylvania Is rose half
point, and the various St. Louis and
San Francisco issues were all up a
half point to a point.
Missouri Pacific general As, which
have rather been dragging behind in
the recent market. suddenly became
very active at points advance. Le-
high Valley 6s and Oregon Short Line
As were half nOint higher
Not Large Enough Yield.
1t was announced that the $5,479,500
equipment trust certificates bought
from the Railroad Administration on
Wednesday had been privately placed.
But the best that the syndicate mem
bers were willing to say about yester-
days s12.000,00O Offering was that it
was hoped that the subscription books
would be closed by the end of the
afternoon. The reason why these
certificates are not going faster ap-
pears to- be, not so much because Of
their comparatively low interest yield,
as because the prospective investor
sees a possible enormous addition to
the supply of this class of investments
coming on the market later.
lnterborough Rapid Transit SIS reached
o5 for the first time in a fortnight
United States Realty IS continued to
bound into new high ground Mercan-
tile Marine 6s. Packard Motor IS and
kelly-Springtield IS We're all heavily
bought on the way upward. Chile Cop
per 6s jumped over a point. and half
point advances was made in Dupont
7l2s. Bell Telephone of Pennsylvania
Is and Tidewater 6l2s.

sons, which began to form at a. m.
AT this station 250 men, serving $4,000
families, are out. The retail stores
operated by the Sheffield Farms Com
pany remained closed all day, partly
because there was not a sufficient mum
Der of employees left to open them and
partly because stocks Of milk could
not be supplied to them.
Although pickets were out early
there was little interference with the
makeshift methods of distribution.
The strikers announced however, that
if any attempt was made by local truck
men to take milk from the cars at the
railroad stations there would be
trouble. The Borden company ac-
cepted the offer of the strikers to
leave one driver on duty to haul milk
to the hospitals and to homes where
there are children or sick persons. The
Sheffield Farms Company rejected this
emergency overture.
