business, which has lightened the bur
cen of lending institutions. Working
simultaneously to strengthen the credit
situation has been the steady acces-
sion of foreign gold, which in the
course of a single year has swollen
the gold reserves of the Reserve sys-
tenn by approximately 100000 900.
While the action Of railroad stocks
has been disappointing there is no
doubt that the general railroad situa-
tion has undergone a marked change
for the better in the course of few
months. The effects of the reduction
in wages are plainly seen in the July
operating returns. Although the Off
cial reports for the month will not be
available until later The Tribune has
obtained preliminary figures from sew
eral representative systems which in
dicate that in many cases substantial
gains in net earnings over year ago
are likely to be shown in the last six
months of the year.
After their erratic fluctuations of a
week ago, the foreign exchanges be-
came quieter and the movements in
rates on the principal European CEN
ters last week were comparatively mar
row. Sterling exchange maintained
most Of the ground recovered in the
preceding week. Although German
operations in connection with repara-
tions are being conducted with view
to accumulating the balances required
to meet the $185, 100000 due the end
of this month, such transactions are
apparently proceeding smoothly and
with a minimum of disturbance in the
exchange markets. The feeling of in
ternational bankers, however, is that
the exchanges are likely to be subject
to violent swings at any time because
of these German operations.
In the investment market the demand
slackened somewhat last week as COM
pared with the broad inquiry of the
previous week. While prices tended to
ease off somewhat the undertone Of the
market continued strong. Indicative Of
the large amount of funds awaiting in
vestment was the heavy oversubscrip-
ton last week of several new security
issues, notably the Western Union
Telegraph and the Philippine bond
offerings.
New-York tribune., 1921-08-15

A mild reflection of the further
progress that is being made in the
process of readjustment and deflation
was seen in fresh liquidation of stocks
from time to time, although the volume
of such selling was not so large but
what it could have been absorbed with
out difficulty in more normal mar
ket. AS it was, such selling tended to
cause special weakness in particular
stocks, but it failed to induce any gen.
eral selling. The market, as has been
the case for several weeks, suffered
mainly from the lack of buying power.
In uncertain times like the present,
when the industrial and business
world is cropping blindly and feeling
its way. the tendency is to overempha-
size the unfavorable factors. With ad-
verse dividend developments of almost
daily occurrence, and corporate read
justments and reorganization under
way in many quarters, the tendency is
to overlook favorable elements in
the situation, such as steadily i'm
proving credit position, debated in
ventories and falling operating costs,
These are factors which in the lonp
run are bound to make themselves
felt in revival of confidence and all
that will mean business. For although
the buying power Of the public al
large has undergone marked shrink
age in the past eighteen months, psy-
chology is playing an important role
In checking the return of better times
The soundness Of the general credit
position as the country approaches the
season of the year when demands for
banking funds expand to meet the
needs of fall business and the crop
moving period is plainly shown in the
standing of the Federal Reserve banks.
Last week the system in its statement
Of condition revealed a ratio of re-
serves to deposits and Federal Reserve
note liabilities combined Of 65 per
cent. This marks the highest peak yet
reached, and it is the best ratio re-
ported since March, 1918. In the past
twelve months the system has reduced
its total bills on hand 81 ,337 1877 900, a
tendency due mainly to the action of
member banks in paying off their bor-
rowings at the central institutions.
This, of course, is reflection of the
liquidation that has taken place in

Dynamiting bitches Saves Time.

w. =. Story, County Agricultural
Agent of Warren County, Tenn,
reports considerable work n
blowing out open bitches with 60
per cent nitro-glycerine dynamite.
Demonstrations were held in the
county recently, and were well at
tended by the farmers, some of whom
have since ordered considerable dy-
Mantle for draining fields on their
farms, says Mr.. Story, The demon
STATIONS were a great success in that
they showed the farmers that an
open ditch can be dug with dynamite
at lower cost than it can be done
with a horse and scraper, since the
bitches are blown out much more
quickly with dynamite than the same
number of men working with teams
could have accomplished. 1t is es-
timated that crew of Q men can
blow out a mile of AXIS foot ditch in
less than a day. The peop-e of this
county have become so interested in
this project that there have been sew
eral calls for demonstrations in

YOU CAN'T

Once in Awhile Your Blood Clogs
and Your Vitality Runs Down.
THEN TAKE PEPTO-MANGAN
You'll Pick Up Again Quickly with
Plenty Of Red Blood
Coruuscles

Physicians nowadays take a blood
test when you arelrun down. They
count the red corpscles in your blood.
If these are too few they give you a
tonic for your blood. 1t happens right
along. They are always on the look
out for indications of weak blood.
Why? Because they know when
your blood is weak your resistance
to disease is low. Your vitality and
energy quickly run down.
You can tell when your blood is
weak. You look pale, feel tired. You
are not i'll, but you don't feel right.
You don't want to do things. That is
the time to take the well-known ton
ic, Pepto-Mangan,
-Mangan builds red blood cor
puscles. Physicians have prescribed
it for thirty years.
Pepto-M angan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. The medicinal value is
exactly the same. Take either kind
you prefer But be sure you get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan - GUIDES"
The full name, Guides" Pepto-Man-
gan," should be on the package.

Tullahoma Legion Memorial Plan.

The American Legion of Tullaho-
ma has advanced an entirely new
proposal regarding a memorial to
Tennessee's soldiers in the world
war, favoring the abandonment of
the projected two million dollar
monument plan of the city of Nash
vile and the substitution of an an
nual celebration under State aus
pieces of Tennessee'5 great part in
the ending of the war. Tullahoma
post has put the new plan in definite
form, and will submit it to the sol
diers of the State for their indorse-
ment, in lieu OF the great building
heretofore proposed. These boys
would have the State levy annually
an amount equal, approximately, TO
what would pay interest on bonds
now offered by the State and apply
the revenue to financing a great an
nual reunion of Tennessee soldiers
foT the purpose of perpetuating their
record in the war. 1t was computed
that 100000 or thereabout would
be required every year to pay the
interest on the bonds so far unsuc-
cessfully offered by the State fund
ing board. 1t is argued that, if this
amount were set aside fer annual ex-
penGiture to 7upport great reunion
at points to be agreed upon by the
soldiers, it would all be expended
within the State, and would there
after be Of more benefit to the State
than to pay it out as interest to bond
holders. The idea is that such
State reunion would become the one
great gala occasion of each year,
growing in interest and attendance
from year to year; and that such an
appropriation would be more effec-
tive than a pile Of marble and ma
sonry to perpetuate the soldiers rec
ord and to keep their enthusiasm
alive in support of the principles for
which they fought. This movement
is a part of the organized opposition
that is being rapidly developed
among the Tennessee soldiers to the
of two million or more
for a permanent memorial building
in Nashville The Legislature is to
be called upon very soon, it is under
stood, to repeal the enabling acts

We arc publishing this week the
text of the Graham Bratton Sunday
law, which is being considered this
week fer passage by the Tennessee
Legislature. This is called the mid
dle-of-the-road bill, in contradistinc-
tion between it and the Noah Cooper
bill, which is called the Blue Law
bill. The provisions of the Cooper
bill are intended to close everything
but churches and firesides on Sunday.
1t does not prevent anyone from going
to church or Sunday school or get
ting a deep breath, but it does intend
to stop every public service corpora
tion-railroads, telegraph, telephone.
newspapers, not mentioning amuse-
ments. 1t is intended to prevent
transportation of any kind, so that
If anyone is taken suddenly ill moth
ing whatever can be done towards
getting physicians but to hoof it to
the doctor and no medicines at all
can be bought. 1t turns the clock
back hundreds of years to the days
of the torch and the stake. Repre-
sentative Bratton is interested as CO.
author of the Contamination bill,
and this bill is intended to interfere
with nothing whatever that is rec
ognized as necessary, but to preserve
the integrity and sanctity of Sunday
observance. 1t prescribes that tick
cts to Sunday shows and baseball
cannot be sold on Sunday, but the
movers of the bill were not so much
interested in closing amusement
places as they were to control the
foreign born element who have no
regard whatever for the Sabbath day.
In many parts of the country locali-
ties are being settled by colonists
who have no regard for the Christian
religion end hence no respect for
Sabbath observance. The Graham
Bratton bill is intended to govern the
actions of this element as well as
the "hard-boiled' American.

pers. These records are to be con-
tribrted in installmcnts as they are
prepared and when completed, if
nothing checks the work, to be turn
ed over to some historical society for
publication in book form. The idea
came from a suggestion that steps be
taken to secure material for gen
eral history of the county, and 1t
would be a good move indeed.
