Bond Operations
 Actiue and Broader
By Associated Press

New York, May 17.-Trading in bonds today was enlivened by the more active and broader operations in the stock market, where indus trials, especially coppers and steeis. were the dominant feature.
 Domestic and foreign war flotations held within narrow price limits lead CTS of that division again closing at mixed gains and losses. Mexican As and 5s were the strongest issues with Netherland 6s, but British and French loans were practically featureless.
 Investment rates tended upward, but junior or speculative rails were relatively dull. in few instances varying more than a large fraction.
 Cerro De Pasco Ss and Chile Cop per Is featured the metal group at substantial gains. The better known steel bonds moved irregularly and Midvale 5s were not responsive to the sudden advance in the stock. Total sales, par value, ,$15.9730O0.

 "I think 1t is our duty to contin -ually call attention to the effect of .this section giving the President power to regulate competitive con -ditions in trade" said he.
 Senators Cnderw ood and Simmons, Democrat. North Carolina, contended

PUTTING THE TIP FIRST

Arthur IT. Foiweli, in Lexlie's Weekly
 It is never too late to mend our ways; the tip to the walter is given at the wrong time. What we are pleased to speak or as a gratuity should be bestowed at the beginning of meal, not at the close. The req son is> plain. To many diner out, the question of the walters tin is painfully paramount. It is para mount to the extent of disturbing digestion If tho restaurant be n se- lect one-a hotel grill, for example and the waiter obviously accustomed to none but the best company. What ought I give him?" is a query which begins to shape itself, horrid shape, ere the meal Is half over. and by the time tho check has been brought, the distress is frequently acute.
 How much better to get this annoy ing ceremony out of the way at once. Then the nerve tension is re- faxed, and actual enjoyment of a meal, even the last of 1t. is possible, Of course, you cannot begin by slip ping the waiter a dime or a quarter. on the assumption that said dime or quarter represents ten per cent of the cost of what you purpose to eat. That ten per cent rule went out about the beginning of the war. and its return is included in no plan for "normalcy" that we have seen.
 No, the best way is to determine, In round numbers, just how much you are willing that the tip and the meal
 that is the proper order-shall set you back. Suppose you fix tho dead line at three dollars. Very good. You summon the waiter. place three one dollar bills on his tray. and tell him to take whatever proportion of it he thinks is rishtfully coming to him. Then with what is left you can so confidently, blithely. to con- alteration of the menu. happy in the knowledge that your waiter Is sat isfied and that nothing can disturb the serenity of your meal.

 For years I have been selling through druggists a large box of PETERSON'S OINTMENT for so cents. The healing power in this ointment is marvellous. Ec- ztma goes in few days. old sores heal up like magic; piles that other remedies do not seem to even relieve are speedily conquered.

ALABAMA DELEGATION ENTER
 TAINS NEW BISHOP

Hot Springs, Ark, May 17.-The North Alabama delegation at the general conference, rendered a sunlp- tious banquet to newly-e!ected Bishop Hoyt Dobbs of Anniston, at the Ma jestic hotel Wednesday evening. pr. l.. c. Branscomb, editor of the Alabama Christian Advocate, was the genial toastmaster.
 There was large gathering and many speeches were made, all con graduating Bishop Dobbs and empha- sizing his many virtues.
 Most loyal support in every way was pledged to him, and belief was expressed that Bishop Dobbs would serve in such a way as to magnify the office.
 Bishop Dobbs responded in a most touching maner. The banquet was arranged by J. H. Wilson. The oc casion was one of the most pleasant of tine many functions given here. In all these functions the finest fel- lowship has been enjoyed and great friendships have been cemented. ENOUGH TO MAKE A DOG MAD From Judge.

Uncommon Sense Rust and Bust"
BY BLAKE
by JOHN BLAKE

TRAVELLING about through farming
l. communities, the tourist will OBJ
serve thousands of dollars worth of farm
machinery, rusting into usclessness In
the open or under fimsy sheds.
Wherever such machinery is found
are neglected buildings, played out soil
and general poverty.
Rust and bust Is proverb In gem
eral use among such communities.
INTELLIGENT farmers know the
/ worth of machinery. They know
what 1t can do to supplant the puny toll
OF men. -.
They know that Its use means the diff
ference between n bare living, or no
living at all, and genuine prosperity.
with the growth Of agricultural
schools and the increase of the knowl-
edge of scientific farming, these scrap
niles are becoming scarcer.
But they still exist. and always will
exist, as long as the rust In human
brains matches the rust upon the iron
and steel that ingenuity has combined
into mowers and harrows and reapers
and harvesters.
On the average, people are pretty
much alike, whether they are farmers
or doctors or lawyers.
Most OF them are born with abilities

LOST THEIR GRIP.

The big corporations in West Viz
ginia-the railroads, the coal operators,
the oil and gas companies and similar
organizations-have lost their grip on
the voters Of West Virginia. At least
the election last week looks that way
7 me was when these corporations
voted their employees en- nasse, but
II vas not so at the recent election
Whether or not the big bosses have
voluntarily given up the attempts 10
handle their employees on election
day, or the men refuse to be thus ma
nipulated, we are unable to say. But
one thing is certain: never before was
there so much independence in voting
IN west Virginia as was exhibited last
week. II was all over the state. par
tCularly in the counties that have
been counted as absolutely sure for
the Republican candidates. This
unusual spirit Of independence is a
mighty good thing. 1t will require
both parties to put up good men and it
will restrain those in authority from
ignoring the desires and the interests
OF the people.
There was another noticeable fea-
ture in the recent election: The DELHI
crate piracy Of election officials in GER
tain counties of the State, who have
not hesitated to steal the ballots and
ballot-boxes and terrorize or murder
those who oppose them, who have
made returns to suit their purposes
regardless of the way the ballots were
cast, was not in evidence last week
Not only did the voters cast their bal
lots as they desired, but the votes were
actually counted and honest returns
made. This is truly amazing.
Let us hope that West Virginia has
reformed along this line and that here
after, as was done last week, every
man and woman may vote as they
please with the certainty that their
sentiments will be properly recorded
and reported.
