MARKET UNEVEN:
BOND TRAD|NGLESS
Declines and Advances Are
About Equally Dr.
vided.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January At was a
very uneven bond market today, with
a reduced volume of business There
was not the same amount of evidence
as on the preceding days of the pres
ence of the January reinvestment de-
mand. Declines and advances were
about equally divided, but with a
slight preponderance of losses. The
United States war group stood prac-
tically still all day. The only fea-
lures among government issues were
high at 115h, and the City Of Bern
SIS, which were up a half point to
10S. Otherwise changes in this Sec
tion of the market We're trifiing.
The weakness in Kelly-Springfield
stocks, following the passing of the
mental effect upon the per cent
bonds, which We're off a half point or
so. United States Realty, 5s sold at
92, as against their high of "a, but
this decline implied nothing more
than a normal market readjustme mt.
Mercantile Marine 6S were off nearly
a point and Pacific Gas and Electric
5s half point. On the other hand,
Diamond Match TIES reached new
high at 109.
More Losses Than Gains.
In the railway group there were
more losses than gains. While re-
covery continued in some issues like
the st. Paul convertible AIS and the
Erie BIS, which have recently been
under special pressure, this was more
than offset by losses of a half point to
a point in such representative bonds
as the Baltimore and Ohio convert
ible AIS, the Big Four IS, Southern
Pacific convertible As, Union Pacific
convertible As and St. Louis and San
Franiso prior lien AS.

Yes, Times Have CHANGED

4 FEW centuries ago the word idiot meant men,
"A Der of the Roman citizenry Citizens in general
would resent the implication that the word conveys, to-
day There still idiots, but the application of the
word is entirely different from what it was of old.
There also time when advertisements had to
be taken with grain Of salt few misguided adver-
Users thought they could sell their goods better by mis-
representing them. Those advertisers have long since
gone out of business mended their ways. Hard ex-
perience taught that untruthu advertising didn't pay
Other advertisers proved that the only way to advertise
successfully make regular customers and build up good
will to tell the absolute truth about their goods.
Today you depend on the merchant manufacturer
who advertises The concern that tells you frankly
what it is doing is good concern with which to do bus

the chamber Of commerce took
steps to have a bill drawn for
presentation when the legislature
meets that will legalize the crea-
ton of a reclamation district IN
such way as to meet the require
ments Of the Smith McNary bill
should 1t become q law, or to en-
able the district to meet the con-
ditions of the present reclamation
law and market its bonds through
some agency other than the fed
eral farm loan board.
The reclamation bill will pro-
vide for the formation Of a dis
trict and its development through
public utility agencies, bringing
in the corporations and incorpo-
rated towns and cities that would
be benefited by flood protection,
irrigation and drainage. The pub
lie utility feature Is Incorporated
SO that the bonds will not be re-
garded as a first mortgage upon
the lands, which would stop them
from securing loans through the
federal farm loan banks or from
Joint stock land bank. Should
the Smith AcNary bill pass, the
bonds will be sold at per cent.
Should it not pass, the bonds
would be marketed at 6 per cent.
in any event the bonds being free
from taxation in any form.
While there has been some
criticism of the delay of the re-
clamation project, which is by far
the most important of all the
agencies by which it is hoped to
bring prosperity to the middle Rio
Grande valley and build a greater
Albuquerque with a solid and
continuing background. 1t is fair
to say that we found no way of
hurrying the matter. TO have
spent the money getting signers
for the formation Of a district
that could not function legally
would have been waste.
A Tourist Bureau
The chamber of commerce has
maintained an information bureau
for tourists. Through this bureau
Albuquerque's advantages have
been given to an average of 100
people per day.
The chamber of commerce as
sists and extends every courtesy
to the stranger-first in securing
rooms or houses, and then secur-
ing positions or any other service.
Something of the growth of the
city in 1922 is indicated by the
installation OF 700 more electric
light connections; 269 more tele-
phone connections; 253 water
connections within the city lin
its; 100 in University Heights; IS
in Thaxton addition, and 80 in
Stamm addition; total new water
connections, AL. Both in the
Thaxton and the Lincoln additions
many homes depend upon wells.
