FOOD PRODUCTS REPORT.

A close analysis OF the U. s. Food
Products annual report reveals that
the. company's condition Is not nearly
as strong at II would at first appear.
Net earnings are shown to be equal

fore the company allowed for writing

Allowing for these charges, the

BASIC MARKET FACTORS.

NEW YORK, May THE rampant
bullishness in the Street is laid to
many causes, chief of which are the
prospect for cheaper money during
the summer; the belief that a decision
will be handed down by the Railroad
Labor Board on wages favorable to
the roads and that a reduction in
freight rates will subsequently fol-
low: expectation of an early settle
ment Of the reparations controversy.
and, finally. the improvement in some
lines of industry.

b. 4 0. TRAFFIC GROWING.

The recent advance Of the common
stock of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company on the New York
Stock Exchange has been so steady
and sustained that 1t has at last be-
gun to arouse interest in the COM
pany's home city.
The stock has advanced about ten
points within about as many days,
and hase become one Of the leaders In
the rail bull market. Apart from the
very excellent showing made by the
company in it's March report, there
are. reasons to think that II will make
as good IL not better showing for
April. .
~ Traffic is increasing steadily. as Is
evident by the fact that this week
the company had only 16,500 idle
cars. as against 22.700 reported
month ago. This increase in traffic
has been due in part to a revival of
coal shipments and in part also to
greater grain movements, for general
traffic has not picked UP as rapidly
as has that in these two commodi-
ties.
During the present week the COM
pany has received and had on the
way to it's elevators at Baltimore
341 carloads of grain for export
While this is unusual for these times,
1t is believed that II Is only a be-
ginning of heavier traff1c in grain.
To clear the yards the unloading
forces at the elevators have made
records. On Monday they unloaded
ninety five cars in less than seven
and half hours and equaled that
feat again Tuesday. Thursday they
broke all records by unloading 105
cars.

HOLDS PROPERTY IN TRUST
Man Enjoying What Is Known as
Usufruct Has Benefits and Re-
sponsbiities Under Law.

our word usufruct is derived from
two Latin words usus, use, and fruc-
tuS, fruit. The Latins combined them
into usutructus, the equivalent of our
word usufruct, which is term of
law, especially of the Roman law and
of those systems based on Roman law.
Csufruct is the right of enjoying
things belonging to another, and of
drawing from them all the profit and
advantage they will produce without
destroying or wasting their substance.
one title of the civil code of the
province of Quebec deals with usu-
fruct. This right may be established
by law or by the will of man. A sim
pie example would be this: A person
wills the ownership of farm to
son, but the uSufruct to a brother for
his lifetime. The brother enters at
once upon the enjoyment of his usu-
fruct and Is called the usufructuary.
He cultivates the farm and takes the
revenue, subject to the obligation of
making ordinary repairs. He must
use the property as a prudent, indus
trious man would do, without impair
ing the capital. The usufruct of
stocks would consist of the enjoyment
of the dividends, or of sum of money
the usufruct would consist of the in
terest earned thereon.-Montreal Her

Lettuce and Conversation.

Lettuce to me is a most interesting
study. 1t Is like conversation; it must
be fresh and crisp, so sparkling that
you scarcely notice the bitter in it. Like
most takers lettuce is apt to run rap
idly TO seed. Blessed Is that kind that
comes to head, and so remains, like
few people know, growing more salts

dash of pepper, a bit of mustard and
vinegar, but so mixed there will be no
sharp contrasts.

The secret of the American short
story Is the treatment of Characteristic
American life, with absolute knowl-
edge of its peculiarities and sympathy
with its methods; with no fastidious
ignoring of It's habitual expression, or
the inchoate poetry that may be found
hidden even in its slang; with no
moral determination except that which
may be the legitimate outcome of the
story itself; with no more elimination
than may be necessary for the artistic
conception, and never from the fear Of
the fetish Of conventionalism. OF such
is the American short story Of today,

ledge of the "Y" official, 1t Is said,

used for a double purpose, that OF
