CLEVELAND, May 1s.-Aside from
the fact that the decline in bank de-

The Cleveland district oversubscrib-

subscriptions aggregating in excess of
$52.000.000. The fact that this issue.
which bears 5h per cent interest,
should be so heavily oversubscribed,
especially in this district, where money
has been firm Of late, indicates that
many corporations are in sufficient
funds to take advantage of a safe
short-time investment. The certificates
mature in February.
Better Business Shown.
There are other Indications Of bet

steady improvement financially as
shown by federal reserve bank

struck some progress was being made

industrial plants reveals gains in en-
ployment, production and in sales.
The average wage for common labor
in these plants in April was so cents

KIT CARSON CLUB
IS A BIG SUCCESS

Tom, Frank and Eddie were nix
ers. They decided to organize a
hiking club.
Think we ought to have any
more fellows to start WITH" asked
Frank.
I'VE can start with Just the
three of u.s. replied Frank, and
take In more later"
So one Saturday the boys met in
Franks barn and started the club
Frank was elected president, Tom
secretary and Eddie treasurer.
Dues were 10 cents week.
Now we ought to have a name"
suggested Eddie. But no suitable
name could be decided on so, at
Toms suggestion they decided to
take it up with his father, who, as
Tom said, was pirty good at that
kind of stuff"
Mr.. johnson made several sug-
gestions that didn't strike the boys
as entirely satisfactory. We'll,
then,' he said how about Kit
Carson Hikers'? Kit Carson was
j:>lous old woodsman and Indian
fshter-dOn't you think it's a good
idea to name your club after him."
The boys agreed it was "pirty
good" so The Kit Carson Hikers"
it was.
At the second meeting Tom sug-
gested that his father would make
a good club advisor, and that if he
didn't feel he had time to help out
with the club, maybe Reverend
Jones would be glad to come in.
4 Mr.. johnson who liked to hike
himself, gladly took the advisor
ship and he promised to accompany
the boys on every hike that he pos.
sibly could.
"One thing think we should do,
boys" he said at the first meeting
he attended, rs take in more fel.
lows. Let your other chums get
some of the benefits. Be sure you
get congenial companions, though,
for there's nothing worse. guess,
than going hiking with a fellow
who's always complaining"
There were Is boys at the next
meeting of the Kit Carsons.
Have you hiking club in your
school or neighborhood?

The teacher knew how hard 1t

her desk she said. You may put
