Fell % Feet

Lewis NJ Rokes was severely in
jured Tuesday afternoon, by a Is
foot fall from the roof of the L. e.
Ingraham residence on Masonic
street, Rockland. Mr.. ROkes, who
had charge of the job of the shing-
ling, went onto the roof for a final
survey of the days work. One Of
the shingling brackets had become
loosened, and the weight Of Mr..
Rokes' body caused the structure to
collapse and he plunged to the
ground. The force of the fall broke
his wrist and bone in his left elbow
and he was very badly shaken up.
He was taken to Knox Hospital. Mr..
Rokes is one of Rockland's smartest
joiners, and the accident comes at a
most unfortunate time.

Toledo Edison.

At current quotations the first Z per
cent. bonds of the Toledo Edison Com
pany, due In 1871. are still several points
away from their callable price. Present
prices for these bonds, as quoted on the
New York Stock Exchange, are around
107&. which compares with the callable
price OF 10 up TO 1925. After that date
the bonds are callable at prices ranging
from 1914 to below los. The Toledo

Calln ble Bonds.

Prevailing conditions In the money
market and indications of n continued
ease in rates provide grounds for serious
reflection for those who now hold or are
contemplating purchase OF high coupon
bonds issued in recent years. Many of
these bonds are selling at or above their
redemption prices Notwithstanding
this the yield obtainable from the Z.
71a and per cent bonds now out
standing is liberal enough to attract in
vestors. These bonds are. In the major
ity Of cases. sound investments. and If
not called for redemption by the issuing
companies are desirable at present
prices. Under the circumstances. many
investment houses are advising their
clients to exchange their caflable bonds
for non-callable bonds. Before taking
this step the investor would be wise to
consider well the situation and decide
for himself what the outlook for the
money market is. III money continues
to get cheaper and many corporations
elect to take advantage OF the situation
to redeem their high interest bonds the
holders OF those bonds might find 1t hard
to procure as substitutes desirable in
vestments giving liberal returns some
few years hence. On the other hand.
predictions are not lacking OF another
period of imitation for the next few
years, in which event money rates would
rise. instead OF declining. and those who
retained their high coupon bonds would
have no regrets In surveying the list
of bonds OF this character II Is logical
to assume that the corporations in the
best position to profit quickly from any
business expansion would be the first to
redeem their bonds.

COOK v07ESFOR
COL. SCHWENGEL
Chicago Candidate for Commander
Of Illinois Legion Claims
DOwnstate Support.

Effort to align Cook county posts
of the American Legion in support
OF Col. Frank R. Schwengel for
commander of the Illinois depart
ment when the state convention
elects in this city September 1926
is recorded in the Chicago Tribune
this morning.
Colonel Schwengel, it is reported,
is not an avowed candidate but
has consented to use of his name
for the office and will address sew
eral larger posts prior to the con-
vention date. Downstate legion
naires, the Tribune says, will not
be unfavorable to his candidacy
and many of the posts outside
Cook county are expected to en-
dorse him. Colonel Schwengel is
a member of Advertising Mems
post, the same unit to which Col.
Horatio B. Hackett, also mentioned
as a state commander possibility,
belongs. Colonel Hackett has not
made decision upon entering the
race and development of the
Schwengel campaign may influence
his formal withdrawal in favor of
his post buddy"
Ninety percent of Cook county
vote is prophecied for Schwengel,
who fought with the 122nd field ar
tillery in the World war and is now
in command of that regiment.
