 The highways of France. the min ister says, are not sheep folds nor pig sites. nor poultry yards, but public roads ,and livestock must keep out of the way of traffic. The problem is Q difficult one because of tho rar- ity of fences in France

l want you TO know what 1 have decided to do. If you approve then 1 want you to become partners in my business.
 You know that I have one good quality at least, and that is, 1 am always frank and above board.
 Good friends have told me that 1 am too frank, sometimes, but l do not believe one can ever be too frank, especially when one is dealing with the public, and his whole future and success de- pend on the public's confidence.
 \ have been doing busi- ness in Bridgeport since 1915, and you have cer- tain1y given the two . Connors Clothing Stores, here, a very liberal share of your, trade, for which 1 thank'you-
 Your support made it possible for me to be- come interested with Joseph M. Halloran in 1917, in the Connors- Ha1loran Store in New Britain which you will be glad to learn is suc- cessfu1.
 Then further growth permitted me to acquire the old Ho1lander Store in Hartford, an institu- ton that held high place in the minds of the peo- pie for 70 years.
 I was very proud when this Store came into the Connors Group of Stores for 1 started as a boy of 16 in this Store, and trained by personal con- tact with personnel of this fine old house, the real fundamentals of the Clothing business on whcih 1 base the success 1 have made this far.
 Now, at the age of 51, 1 am eager to establish a chain of Stores in 27 more thriving communi- ties in Connecticut.
 I can do so with your help.

 The new Company is authorized by it's char ter to issue 100000 S h ares of preferred stock, to yield 83o annu- ally on the cumulative plan ,also to issue 5O,OOO shares of Common stock, par value, 5000 the share.
 Our plan, in brief is as fOlloWS:-
 We will establish more stores in groups of three as soon as we can. The money invested in our Preferred stock will be used in opening new stores.
 We are taking for our selves 3O,OOO shares of Common Stock, in ex- change for the assets we have accumulated dur ing the years we have been in business, which include all assets, stocks and fixtures, in our four stores, the valuable leases we hold, and the goodwill we feel we have earned.
 We will not attempt to sell all of the Preferred stock at once, we could not use all of the money, if we had it. It takes good business judgment, considerable time, and a lot of work to establish 27 new Stores.
 At the start we will need to sell only 25,OOO S h ares of Preferred stock. Joe Halloran and 1 believe that the people of New Britain and Bridgeport who know us well will buy this num- Der of shares, and let us have the money we need to go ahead with our plans.
 Have you folks in Bridgeport enough conf dence in me to come to our support?:
 Do you believe 1 will make good?

Drouth and Export
Demand Strengthens Wheat.

CHICAGO, Sept. IA. P.)-Ar-
gentine drouth advices, together with
some revival of export business in this
country, led to a material upturn in
wheat. The market closed firm, 2 4
to 31b cents net higher, with Decem-
ber S1.S2 to $1.32A and May $1.36&
to $1.37. Corn finished unchanged to
Il a q C higher, oats up Il C to y a 5-S
cents, and provisions varied from 25
cents decline to cents gain.
Bulls in wheat were prompt to take
advantage of the failure of predictions
for rain in Argentina. 1t was con-
tended in various quarters that the
Argentine crop would be able to en-
dure dry weather for 90 to 80 days
without suffering irreparable damage.
On the other hand, the apparent in
creasing likelihood Of serious curtail-
ment of the Argentine yield was given
as the chief reason for numerous or
ders to purchase. During the result
ant upturn, houses that were conspicu-
Gus sellers of late became the chief
BUYERS. Meanwhile estimates We're
current that export business for the
day totaled 100000 bushels, and
there was gossip that for the first
time since 1914 Japan was acquiring
wheat on a large scale. Only mod
ern reaction in prices was caused by
late sales to relize profits.
Corn and oats sympathized with the
strength of wheat. Rural offerings of
corn were said to have fallen off to
decided extent.
Provisions averaged lower, influence
ed by dOwnturns in the value of hogs.

Strong Undertone
shown In Stock Market

NEW YORK. Sept. 14,-(A. P)--
The stock market was hesitant at the
outset of yesterdays less expansive
dealings but by noon and for the re-
mainder of the session a firm to strong
undertone prevailed, Notwithstanding
occasional bearish activities.
Relaxed conditions in the money
market and subSidence of the disquet-
ing fluctuations in grains and cotton
probably contributed to the better
feeling in speculative circles German
exchange rallied slightly. but most
other foreign remittances were in
clined to react.
Initial dealings seemed to he in
fluenced by further cuts in wages of
steel operatives, reports of curtailed
production in the New England textile
industry and passing of the United
Drug dividend. The latter stock made
a new low, but this was more than re-
trieved later.
Financial interests seemed hopeful
of favorable action by the senate on
the railroad financing bill and the
over-subscription to the new $780,
coo. 900 treasury notes was cited as ad-
ditional proof of sound investment
situation.
More than half of the days trading
was limited to established favorites,
notably the Mexican oils, General AS
phalt, Baldwin and American Locomo-
time, Crucible and United States steels
and Studebaker.
Rails were apathetic until the final
hour. when news of the regular divi-
dend of Great Northern strengthened
most investment transportations and
extended to popular. junior rails.
Gross gains of / to 4 points suffered
slight impairment at the active finish.
Sales were 5000 shares.
Call loans opened at Sig per cent
on the exchange, but dropped to 5
per cent when it was found outside
offerings were being freely made on a
1-2 per cent basis. Time money was
more plentiful and merchants paper
was in better demand.
Firmer conditions ruled in the
broader bond market, convertible rails
again being favored. Liberty issues
were mainly better. Internationals.
| including Mexicans eased variably.
| Total sales, par value $13,275,000.
