German DYES in Japan

German chemicals were received by
the Japanese government from Ger
many as war indemnity to the extent
Of about 10000 kilos during the period
from December II, 1920, to May IL,
1921, according to Acting Commercial
Attache H. A Butts. Of this amount
less than 100 kilos had been sold by the
middle of September, leaving bal
ance stored in Kobe warehouses Of
about 10000 kilos. The increasing
imports of German dyes and chemicals
into Japan do not consist entirely of
reparation goods, however, but include
large percentage of private importa-
finding it difficult to compete with
these dyes, it is stated, inasmuch as
the German manufacturers are export
ing at prices little below domestic
prices and offering a product of supe-
rior quality.

Decline in Italian Export Trade

Italian export trade has been materi-
ally reduced since the first Of the year
and the southern provinces and Sicily,
which normally supplied the agricul-
tural products that make up the bulk
of its trade, have suffered in conse-
quencc. During the summer the trade
in citrus fruits showed an improve
ment. especially on account Of the
rapid increase in the price Of lemons
in the American market, but reac-
tion has taken place and shipments
have again declined. With regard to
citrate of lime and citric acid (prod-
ucts for which foreign markets must
be found), the demand is still lacking
and stocks are accumulating fast.
Warehouses of the principal citric acid
factory are overflowing, and the pro-
duction has been reduced to small
percentage Of the capacity. While ex-
ports Of citric acid during the fsrst nine

You kindly advise bond on which I

Teacher.
Answer-No matter how badly you
want 8 per cent with safety, you can
not get the same degree Of safety IN
an per cent bond that you can in a
bond selling to yield 5A to per cent.
However, De Laval Separator per cent
bonds are, in our opinion, good in
vestment for person who demands a
bond yielding 8 per cent or over. The
bonds are direct obligation of the
De Laval Separator Company, which
manufactures cream separators and is
the largest company Of it's kind in the
United States. The bonds were
originally offered at 98N, yielding
over per cent. They are due in 1881

Central Maine Power Company
Question: have a. relative who Is con.
templatng a heavy Investment In tho
common stock of the Central Maine Power
Company. The stock is very popular ir
| Maine, and She has asked my advice ir
the matter. Do you consider 1t a safe
investment for widow; that Is, safe
enough for her to invest her entire princf.
pal in?-H. Il. p.
Answer-We do not regard the COM
mon stock of the Central Maine Power
Company as a proper investment for
the entire investment fund of widow
In saying this we are not disparagine
the company or its management, but q
security which is SO directly dependent
upon earnings for it's returns as is the
common stock of this company is not a
desirable investment for a person
whose first requirement should be safe
ty of principal and continuity of in

Mayor Urged Reopening

Mayor w. +. Freeman spoke of the
inability Of the city to take more
active part in the fight against the
high rates because of the supreme
court decision to the effect that it il
not within the authority Of a city
to employ attorneys to fight ques-
tlons such as these. The mayor ex-
plained that although he was being
blamed by many citizens because of
existing conditions, nevertheless it was
not his fault. He said that he done oil
in his power and that City Attorneys
Brett and Mason while they were
in office had attended all the hear
ings. Just what occurred 1T the last
hearing held in this city at which were
present secretary Of the Chamber OF
Commerce and City Attorney Mason,
he did not know, but at any rate the
company was permitted to raise its
rate.
Il cannot understand" stated May
or Freeman, why we should have to
pay 60 cents as rate for gas when
we are located in the heart of the
oil and gas fields, when Shawnee,
which is $50 miles away from the fields
pays but 40 cents. Labor and mater
ials- and everything are going down

you eat more of it than you did
when it was 10 cents. And so it seems
10 be with everything"
Mr.. Cruce then spoke of the care
less manner in which residents of
the city permit their stoves to burn
during the night. while they are
away from their home, and While the
windows are open.
IF you practice economy" he said,
your fuel bill will be less"
In answer to the remarks of sever
al present that something seemed 10
be wrong with the registering OF the
meters MIR. Cruce stated that if the
company had the meters fixed then
II was subject TO indictment.
Frank Gates Presides
The meeting was opened Immediate
ly after a luncheon had been served.
Frank Gates presided. He welcomed
the members OF the Chamber of Com
merce and others who We're present
and announced that the purpose Of
the meeting was for open discussion Of
the gas rates question.
The speakers who spoke in defense
of the present rates followed those
opposed to it.
Citizens representing practically ev-
cry profession and form of business
in the city were present at the meet
ing.
Dr. G. L. johnson read several let
fas NH 1t. "a DO,
Of town friend, in one Of which he
advised an out Of town friend TO
come 10 ArdmOrc, mentioning the low
gas rate, which he stated was so
cents for the particular month in
which the letter was dated. DIR. John
son then read second letter in which
he rescinded his statements in the pre-
vious epistle, writing that the rate
at later date had increased and that
hisc bill was now SIS per month.
Wants radual Rise
Judge a. Eddleman stated that he
believed that the gas company was
entitled to a raise in rate, but not 10
the great extent TO which il has
raised it, He explained that during the
summer, the rate was a cents with
& ten per cent discount or 40 cents
In the winter II was 40 cents less a
ten per cent discount, or SO cents
Now, with no discount, he said. the
rate is so cents. which shows an in
crease Of 80 per cent over the summer
rate, ana an increase Of sc per cent
over the winter rate The company
had been paying cents at the wei
and are now paying 10 cents. Even
though they are only paying cents
more, yet they cnarge the consumers
~ cents more In the winter.
1T occurs to me- stated Judge
Eddleman, that the increase is toe
big in one jump. 1t might have been
raised in installments. II appears that
the only raise which the company
would have to make would be to cover
the increase cf cents at the wells
although there may be other expenses
incurred, but labor and everything
else has gone down instead Of up"

included Guy II. Sigler. O. c. Lashef'
and a few others.
Ringing and Wilson Represented
Delegations were present from Ring
ling and Wilson. and these men gave
their views Of the matter. Tho Ring
ling representative stated that It was
not so much the rate to which the
Ringing citizens objected but inc
quantity of gas with which they
were being charged. He intmated that
the employees of the company at Ring
ling might be inefficient in reading the
meters, or that some other causes
might exist.

pany be permitted to raise its rates!

TO get the citizens of this city to De-

this until after the birls are made out.

Russell Browns Complaint
Russell Brown, representing the
Lions club. stated that he was per-
sonally interested in the gas question
because he Is a resident Of this city,
as are also his parents. Every resi-
dent in the city should be vitality
interested, he sal3- Every resident
owes more or less interest in affairs
to the community in which he lives.
Il have never heard any explana-
ton as TO why the rates here are so
high" he said, there used to be
a gathering company of the gas COM
pany TO get the gas. AS a result, they
were able to show the corporation
commission that they were not max
ing sufficient funds and were per-
mitted to raise their rates"
Mr.. Brown stated that as county
attorney at the time when the gas
company complained that it couldn't
buy gas, he filed petition in the
| district court to dissolve the gas COM
pany, stating that a receiver would
be able to buy sufficient amount OF
gas. Immediately after the filing OF
the petition, stated Mr.. Brown, the
company suddenly found all the gas
it required.
Up to Chamber Of Commerce
Mr.. Brown suggested that it was
the duty Of the Chamber Of Commerce
to see that the case was opened uI
again, the facts shown and reasonable
rates be given.
