NATIONAL SURETY
TO CUT A MELON
So, 100000 Capital Increase Is
Planned-W. B. Joyce to Be
Company's Chairman.

Directors Of the National Surety Com
recommending that the corporations
capitalization be Increased from IS, o0O.-
GOO to s7.o0o.ooo and creating for Will
lam B. Joyce. president. a new position
as chairman OF the company. He will
be succeeded as president by e. A. ST.
John. vice-president of the company
since 1915.
Upon approval of the proposed stock
Increase OF $2,000,000 by the stock
holders they will receive rights to sub
scribe for the new stock to the extent
of 40 per cent. of their holdings, or for
two new shares for each five shares now
held. at $3.50 a share. AS the stock is
now quoted around s235 a share the
rights accruing to the stockholders will
be worth about $25 apiece.
The expectation of the directors is
that the company's income from invest
ments alone will be sufficient to main
tain the same IL per cent. dividend rate
on the increased stock, which has been
paid for many years In addition to pre-
Vously distributed stock dividends and
subscription rights. The company's an
nual gross premium income Is In excess
ing the increase in capital, will be in
the neighborhood of $30,000,000.
Mr.. Joyce's elevation to the chairman
ship of the company Is the culmination
of a business career of unusual effort
Born in Utica, n. Y, in 1866, he started
in business as a newsboy in Grand
Rapids five years later. His next job
brought him s5 month and room as
hotel bell boy. He was then successfully
telegraph messenger, store clerk, tele-
phone lineman and manager of the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange Com
pany in Minnesota.
An important turn in his career came
when he entered new field as agent for
Northwestern territory for the fidelity
and surety bond department established
in ST Paul by the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Trust Company of Kansas City,
Mo.
Subsequently Mr.. Joyce became the
largest individual producer of fidelity
and surety bond business In the United
States. Like many other surety COM
panies of that time, the National Surety
Company into which the original con-
Germ had developed, became greatly in
volved through inexperienced underwrit-
ing. At this juncture in 1904 Mr.. Joyce
was called to the presidency of the
National Surety, and was largely respon-
sible for the repair Of its fortunes and
much new legislation directly affecting
the surety business.
During the war Mr. Joyce took lead
ing part In the Liberty loan drives. Red
Cross and similar activities.

Weekly reports by Bradstreet's during

cent. below the peak total of January
this year. 90 per cent. below the aggre-
gate for September a year ago. and the
smallest monthly aggregate since June.
1921. While four times the size of the
low level total of July, 1919. it is only
32 per cent. in excess of the month of
September. 1913.
The decrease In the number of fall

Omaha Banker Tells HoID the
Farmers Could Benefit.

Walter w. Head OF the Omaha Ma
tional Bank and Edward l.. Robinson,
vice. president of the Citizens National
Bank of Baltimore, are among the visit
ing bankers who predict good business
ahead for the United States.
Mr.. Head referred in glowing terms to
the work of the War Finance Corpora
ton toward relieving depression in the
corn belt, and asserted that some such
system is needed which does not exist
to-day to help the farmers hold their
crops for a longer period" Mr.. Head
pointed out that the help given by the
War Finance Corporation In cattle and
sheep enabled live stock growers to hold
stock for higher prices without glutting
the market at one time and falling be-
hind the demand at later date.
I'VE are steadily getting back to a
normal basis" said Mr.. Robinson "Of
course the fact that Europe cannot buy
as much as she used to buy on credit
will not help the grower of cotton much.
But the position of that crop is such
that enough of 1t can be sold to assure
a good price to the grower" -,
SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 3.-Broadening
of the powers of the War Finance Cor
poration had caused a feeling of re-

Secretary Wallace of the Department Of
Agriculture declared to-day in outlining
before a meeting of farmers and busi-
ness men the obstacles that stood in the
path of agricultural development before
the corporation was revived and the
Federal Reserve act amended. Money
became easier to obtain, he declared,
adding that more liberal policy on
farm loans was generally adopted the
sacrificing of grain and live stock was
checked and the hope of the farmers was
renewed"
