GREAT HOLE DUG IN STREET
Will Take 500 Carloads of Granite
Chips TO Fill.


The heavy fall of rain which was
accompanied yesterday by a sharp
electrical display caused the hill streets
Of Barre to be quilted out for the third
time in about as many weeks. Two
storms passed over the city, one in
mid afternoon and the other late in
the afternoon, the latter being more
severe than tee first Many of the
streets became miniature lakes. and
the hill streets were rushing torrents.
Perhaps the worst damage was done
on Beckley street, where a great hole
was dug which will necessitate the
dumping in Of approximately 500 cart
loads of granite chips. other streets
were gouged out in lesser degree.
During the heavy part of the storm
late yesterday afternoon lightning ran
into the Barre Candy Kitchen on ghe
electric wires and there shortcircuited
the current and caused the wiring TO
burn about one of the hanging lamps.
The presence of smoke about il and
the fact that the light itself could not
be pulled 3ut caused the management
to telephone for the fire department..
No FIRE fighting was necessary, how
ever. though an electrician was needed
to repair the wires

RAPID MARKETING OF
PRODUCE AIDS TRADE
ActiUity Stimulated, Says Re-
serue Board.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. - Stimulated
activity in important industries. result
ing from rapid marketing Of agricultural
products in October. made notable the
beginnings of improvement throughout
the country. the Federal Reserve Board
declared tonight in it's monthly review
OF general business and financial condi-
tions.
Higher prices realized oy farmers for
tobacco and cotton and heavy sales of
cereals abroad, the review asserted. have
brought them into the market for pur-
chase5 of seasonable goods, with a cor
responding benefit to trade in the pro-
ducing regions.
Some distinctly encouraging eie-
ments" are TO be noted In the general
business situation. the review continued.
The outlook in the textile industries was
eaid to be better because, although un-
certainty OF the future OF cotton prices
has led some textile manufacturers to
hold off, buying has been more pro-
nounced during the past few weeks.
Except I'm a limited degree, the re-
view declared, basic manufacturing and
structural Industries have not shown
the influence of reviving demand, al
though increases in production and in
untitled orders In iron and steel were
regarded as "of first rate importance
as marking the turn from the low
point"
Prices have apparently attained a
substantial degree Of stability. the re-
view stated. adding that prices in gen.
eral were in better relation to one an
other than they had been at any other
time during the last eighteen months.

S. 0. OF CALIFORNIA
PLANS FINANCING
Negotiations for Issue Of Long
Term Bonds for S15,000,-
900 Under Way.

The Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia is conducting negotiations to sell
to bankers SIS 100000 of it's long term
bonds, bearing 8 per cent. or 6la per
cent. coupon, according to information
obtained in banking circles. A group
headed by the Equitable Trust Com
pany has been associated with the
financing of other Standard OIL Com
panies. but spokesmen for that group
denied the reports that new Offering
by the Standard Oil Company of Cali
fornia was imminent. Among the pur-
poses for such financing would be to
pay for acquisition Of Pacific OIL stock,
but on that point information is indefi-
rite. The subject of financing for that
company has been afloat for six months
or more, but the reports Of such nego-
tiations appear now to be more nearly
authoritative than previous gossip.

PRESIDENT Of ROCK ISLAND
MANUFACTURING co. COMES
OUT WITH CONVINCING FACTS

ment regarding the benefits this IA
nous tonic gave him:
Il feel that am fulfilling duty
when recommend Trutona to 9TH
ers who are suffering as l was"
Mr.. Wray told the Trutona expert.
Il had suffered for two months
from rheumatism. and it was about
to get the best of me. The cords
in my legs were drawn and my
joints were sore and my hips so
stiff. I'll tell you, l could hardly
drag myself down to my manufac-
turing plant at times. In fact, l
was in such terribly rundown
condition that l was becoming un-
easy about myself.
About ten days ago l began TAX
ing Trutona, and I've certainly
been rewarded. Why. this medi-
cine has surely knocked the stiff
ness out of my hips and that terri
BILE soreness from my joints, too.
Trutona's one of the best tonics
I've ever used and a REAL sys-
tenn cleanser. l eat Just like
growing boy nowadays. and I'm
surely grateful to be feeling like
my old self again. Why, l haven't
felt so good for years. l know l
can safely recommend Trutona to
anyone as tonic that has no equal
on the market today"
Trutona is, as Mr.. Wray says, an
unequalled reconstructive tonic
just what thousands of people need
at this time of year." the Trutona
expert remarked. This famous
tonic first thoroughly cleanses the
system Of all impurities, thereby
enabling the vital organs to per-
form their work unhampered by
foreign, poisonous matter. With
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels functioning properly, the
blood is enriched, broken-down It's
sues rebuilt and health and vigor
for which the weakened and run
down man or woman has longed,
becomes a reality"
Scores Of Rock Island residents
are now buying Trutona at Schle-
gels drug store, where the famous
preparation is being specially in
troduced and explained under the
personal direction of an expert
from the Trutona laboratories.
