to word brought here by Drap
Hayes, who has just returned from
Little Rock where he talked with
Ray Winder, manager Of the Chicks
last season.
Winder was awarded the Chic

Retain Boys Confidence.

Dr. Barker took up the various
stages of boys life and told by IL
lmstrations how those problems con.
fronting the child from time to time
should be taught. This feature Of
his address proved the most in
structiye and pointed a way to the
solving of problems and the an
swering of intimate questions that
q child often asks and because or
the intimacy and complication of
them, often go unanswered. He
charged the fathers that they should
at all times maintain relationship
of frank confidence with their sons
and when their boys had reached
sufficient age, prepare them for the
duties of marriage and father'Aood
with .clear understanding.
Such relationship, declared DR..
Barker, backed by obedience in the
home, could but bear the most
happy results for the future of the
children, the American home and
the American nation.
Gives Health Exercises.
At the high school yesterday
morning, DR.. Barker promised the
boys that if they would attend the
evening meeting at the Christian
church, he would demonstrate to
them number of exercises for
keeping the body in fit physical
condition. True to his word, last
night at the close of his address,
he stripped off his coat and dem.
onstrated the exercises. These, he
said. he prescribed for William H
Taft while he was president, with
the result through the practice OF
the exercises every morning, Mr.
Taft retired from the heavy grind

dent, in better physical condition

Railroad Officials Pleased.

Railroad officials expressed yesterday
satisfaction with tho helpful interest In
transportation problems evinced by
shippers in the petition Of the National
Association of Manufacturers and other
shippers organiza tions to be included in
hearings before the United States Rail-
road Labor Board on the rules contro-
versy. Pointing out that many rail-
roads are paying 40 cents an hour for
common labor. while other industries
are paying but 81 cents and obtaining
all of Il that they need. railroad man
ayers hope that the board will disregard
the intimations Of possible strike ex-
pressed by labor leaders and coura-
geously wipe out the burdensome rules
affecting punitive overtime pay. deflni-
tion OF duties and classification of work
ers and seniority. The strong stand
taken by the Pennsylvania Railroad be-
fore the board hints that a failure to
establish rules considered fair to the
carriers would forcs rail executives seri-
ously to consider tho question Of reject
Ing the boards ruling.

Preferred Dividend ordered.

The directors Of the b. r. Goodrich
Company declared yesterday the regular
quarterly dividend OF ~ per cent. on
its preferred stock, payable on October
1 to its stock of record on September 21.
Although some believed that it's pre-
ferred dividend might be deferred they
were In a minority. the general belief be-
ing that there was nothing in the situ-
alton to warrant such action. Follow
ing their meeting the directors issued
the following statement: "The statement
covering operations for the first six
months of the year has not yet been
prepared. Due to general prevailing
conditions. the sales for the first four
months were unsatisfactory, but since
May l there has been a substantial
increase and the liquidation of inven-
tories has been sufficient to enable the
company to reduce bank loans since the
first Of the year approximately SO per
cent, from $29,o00.000 to $14.9o0.0 900.
If present conditions continue the COM
pany will be able to pay of practically
all bank Indebtedness by the end of
1921"

Russian Funds Here.

The notice served on local banks by
Attorney Recht, counsel for the Soviet
Government, ordering them not to pay
out Russian funds here was regarded as
ono more OF a dozen ineffective moves
along similar lines made In the last three
or four years. A close estimate of Rus
sian funds on deposit in New York, made
by a banker In a position to know.
put the amount at around $4,000, 900.
He said that there was no intention to
pay out any of those funds, and that no
payment would be made without proper
authority. AS matters stand now the
deposits have to stand pending the re-
turn Of a satisfactory Government in
Russia and the recognition of such a
Government by the United States. In the
event of such recognition the new Gov
ernment might be able to obtain the
funds on deposit here. but first 1t would
have to care for the external obligations
Of Russia held In this country.

United Drug. Break.

One Of the surprising features OF

general list withstood the exceedingly
drastic decline in United Drug, which
broke a total Of more than 20 points to
81. making It's aggregate drop in two
days of trading about 80 points. Tho
crumbling of the price of that stock
was at times almost panicky and fluctu-
atoms of as much as four points between
sales were recorded. SO demoralized had
the market for the stock become The

no attention to the action Of Drug One
wire house called attention to that fact
as evidence of an excellent market

that its common dividend would be de-

COPPER COUNTRY FAIR

Locking forward to a big demand
for work horses here and abroad as
socn as trade conditions become nor
NAL, the Copper Country Fair, ,Hough-
ton, September 81 to October 1, is cf-
fering large prizes for draft horses.
The horse industry of the Old
World, from which nearly all of our
breeds If horses came originally, has
been nearly wiped out, according to
horse breeders who have made sur
vey of Europe. Belgium, France and
the British Isles, all report a tre-
mendous shortage of pure-bred hors-
es.
"There is much argument that the
horse is better than the tractor, and
the tractor better than the horse"
said Secretary John T. Mcnamara,
"but in the opinion Of the Fair offic-
ials, there is room for both. The
horse has always been of great serv-
ice as work animal on the farm,
and will continue to be. That's why
we are interested in Offering prizes"
Other kinds of stock will be exhib-
tied at the Fair in large numbers.
The livestock show promises to break
all previous records, according to the
number of inquiries received, asking
about rules and regulations govern
ing the exhibition of stock, and the
prizes. Other departments of the
Fair. including the women's work and
children's departments, are arousing
great interest.
The country has been secured far
and wide in search for amusements of
a clean, wholesome nature never seen
locally before.
