Southern Railway
Sells $30,000,O00
of Mortgage Bonds
Syndicate Headed by Nor
gan Firm to Offer Issue
Tomorrow at 9415 to
Yield 600 Per Cent

Formal offering will be made to-mor-
row by a syndicate headed by J. p.
Morgan & Co. and including the First
National Bank, National City Company.
Harris, Forbes & Co., the Guaranty
Company and the Bankers Trust Com
pany of an issue of $3O,0O0,000 South
crn Railway development and general
mortgage 61a per cent bonds, due in
1856. A price OF 94ia and interest has
been set on the issue, at which the
yield to the investor will be $50 ner
cent The Morgan firm, which has
bought the issue, will complete the SYN
GicaIc to-day.
Success Of the Offering is awaited
with more than average interest, as It.
represents q new departure in railroad
financing operations on & major scale.
The bonds are issued under mortgage
which limits the coupon rate to 4 per
cent and the 2ia per cent additional
interest is covered by supplemental
indenture. This extra interest ranks
just behind the principal and per cent
interest in priority Of lien. If the
bonds appeal to the investor on this
basis, AS is expected, further railroad
financing under mortgages fixing rates
so low as to be out Of line with the
market viii probably be undertaken.
The proceeds of the bonds will be
used to take up at maturity the $25,
100000 notes OF the company due
March |. and will also enable it to pay
off its Indebtedness to the War Fl
nance Corporation. A small surplus
will remain after these payments have
been met.
The bankers point out in connection
with the offering that during the last
fifteen years the company has expended
upon its property S135 900 900. of which
$40 900 600 was derived from earnings
and the bulk of the remainder from
sales Of bonds issued under the de-
velopment and general mortgage.

be maintained, If in lesser volume than
during 1921, and the probability that
expansion Of export trade will be slow

imports, on the other hand, should rise
The chief factors immediately bearing
upon the market are found in the
French political reverse and the Ger

Those who advocate a modification
Of the rcparaticn terms think that the
Poircare group might be less antago
nistic in power than while representing
the opposition. Any French govern
Tnent Will have to face the facts of the
situation, but in some banking quarters
the view is held that the new French
leadership will not relax the repsra-
ton requirements unless corresponding
concessions are given to France by her
governmental creditors
Financial observers are inclined to
reserve judgment as to the effect OF
the internal political change in France
until the new Premier has opportunity
to express program regarding repara-
tions and to reveal his attitude toward
the conference, TO which Germany, Rus
STA and the United States have been
invited to confer with the other pow
ers on financial matters, scheduled to
be held at Genoa during the first fort
night in March. From a financial stand
point the interesting point is whether
Poincare III the saddle Will insist on a
literal carrying out Of all the economic
clauses of the Treaty Of Versailles, to
the exclusion of all attempts at adjust
ment.
In the second week in January the
trend Of stock prices was tirmer than
IN the first, but much uncertainty and
tendency toward dulness, resulting
from public apathy, persisted. The price
gains were partly a result Of the in
ability of traders to ignore the fast
recession Of money rates toward pre-
war basis. Toward the close of the
week, particularly Saturday, the up
turn was more decisive.
1t Is necessary to turn to the records
OF the period preceding Americas en-
try into the war to find money condi-
tions paralleling those observed last
week. Occasionally since then a dip
in the charge for call money or shad
ing of the rate for time loans has
been witnessed, but these happenings
have been due to special influences at
the time and entirely apart from the
fundamental credit situation The cash
position of the leading New York banks
is such as to make probable continu-
anco of low rates, q probability that
is strengthened by information to hand
regarding the trend in other sections
Treasury certificates, acceptances, Vic
tory notes, Liberty and other prime
bonds are all being eagerly sought for
employment of surplus funds and still
there remains an excess for speculative
purposes.
Neglecting day-t day fuctuations a
growing number of international bank
ers expect gradual improvement in the
foreign exchange market during com
ing months They base this view on
the belief that steady betterment of
conditions in Europe will be achieved
this year, furnishing the foundation for
enhancement in value of European
currencies. Further considerations are
the outlook for continued easy money
here favoring the fotaton Of foreign
( loans in the American market; the

The hare and tortoise of the
automobile world-the racing car
and the truck-figure prominent
ly in"What's Your Hurry?"Wal-
lace Reds latest picture, which
will be shown at the Laclede
theatre Saturday night.
The star has the role of rae

ter of a motor truck manufact-
urer. The latter does not ap-
prove of Wallie as a prospective
son-in-law. To get into the old
mans good graces, Wallie deserts
racing to act as publicity man

in getting "in bad" and it is not
until he risks his life to bring a
Gordon of trucks to plug the
breach in a bursting dam that he
is able to win the girl of his
choice.

Mayor White Reelected

In the hottest city election
ever held in Brookfield, Mayor
White was reelected over A. W.
Baker, by 62 votes, last Tues
day. The opponents of Mayor
White charged him during the
campaign with running wide
open town in which gambling and
houses of i'll repute flourished ,
and his administration was
charged with extravaganza while
owing an unpaid electric light
bill of over $4, 100000.
There were eight candidates
for marshal. L. T. Cook was
elected by a plurality of 269.
J. w. Moore was elected
treasurer over Herman Craig by
679, while in a four cornered
fight Geo. N. Blossom was elect
ed collector bV 526.

P. E. o. Official Entertained

The members of the P. E. o.
entertained Mrs. C. l. Commack
of Kansas City, organizer OF the
Missouri Grand Chapter, during
her official visit to Chapter K,
at the home of Mrs. Ella B.
Standby, on Thursday evening
of last week. Twenty-one years
ago that day the local chapter
was organized and at the six
o'clock dinner served, two of the
charter members, Mrs. Abbie
Gould and Mrs. Idah Moore,
were among those at the tables.
The decorations were carried
out in yellow and white, spring
flowers being used artistically
throughout the rooms and on
the tables.
Much that was helpful and
beneficial was gained from Mrs.
Commack's visit of inspection
and her report was full of praise
and commendation for the many
educational activities carried on
by the chapter. There was es-
pecial commentator for the
recent gift of one dollar from
each member to the national
education fund of the P. E. o.
1t is the aim of the Sisterhood
to double the amount of this
fund within the next two years
as the applicants are SO many
and so worthy.
At present there are sixty
seven girls whose applications
have been approved and to
whom the Educational Board
hope to furnish funds by Sep
tember l. 1t is for the educa-
tion of these girls the recent gift
from Chapter R will apply.
More than $11O,OO0.0O is in
vested in the most wonderful
building material ever used-the
bright young womanhood of
America.

HAYS WATER SUPPLY SAFE

HAYS WATER SUPPLY SAFE
Hays water is safe. The rumors cir
culated in regard to dead birds and
other polutions having been found in
the tanks have been investigated and
are without foundation. The tanks
have been inspected and cleaned out
and no dead birds or other sources of
pollution were found.
Samples of Hays water supply are
sent regularly to the Water and
Sewer Division of the State Board Of
Health for analysis. Any danger or
contamination in the water supply
would thus be detected and reported
Immediately. The last analysis was
made by the State Board of Health
on June u, and the report stated that
the samples Of water were in excellent
condition from a meteorological
standpoint. There is no cause there
fore, for worry about the safety of
the water supply in Hays at this time.
The peculiar odors and taste com
planned of by some of the consumers
are probably due to the water from a
new well, which has just been brought
in, and to the new piping which has
just been laid on the East side
Respectfully,
