Trade Trend Definitely
Toward Higher Levels
By II. Il. LAUFMAN.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
PITTSBURGH, October 3-Freight
embargoes and car shortages are
making an impression on production
in this district by retarding expan-
sion. but the trend of trade today is
definitely toward higher levels.
Some Of the steel mills in individ-
uaI instances are approaching 80 per
cent of capacity output, but the
average is much lower than that
figure. There is maximum employ
ment. with Il shortage of labor re-
ported in many lines.
The freight embargoes declared as
a cleanup" measure, have handicap
ped plants in other sections more
seriously than near Pittsburgh. Coal
is being moved from the mines as
rapidly as railroads can handle 1t.

Increased Bank Deposits
Trade StraWs in Texas
BY JAMES r.. RECORD.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
FORT WORTH, October 3.-Bank
clearings in the last week. through
out Texas were the largest since
January, 1921.
. The effect of the movement of cot
ton and other crops has been re-
Elected in increased deposits, by
decrease in bank loans by fedora!
reserve banks to member banks and
by an increased volume Of trade as
reflected in the checking accounts.
The volume of federal reserve notes
in circulation increased nearly w.
OO0. 900 in the last ten days. due to
the demand for currency and crop
moving. Reserve bank loans have
dropped almost s2.000,000 in a corre-
spending period.

Coal and Car Shortage
Menaces Northwest Trade
BY EARL ID. JENCKEs.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. PAUL, October 3.-Continued inn
provement in northwest business, al
ready retarded somewhat by low prices
for an exceptionally good grain yield,
is further threatened by shortage of
coal and freight cars. Confidence Of
business men that improvement in
trade would continue as result Of
recovery by the railroads from the
shopmen's strike, is being undermined
today by uncertainty over results of
the lake seamen's strike.
Serious interruption of lake traffic
would make adequate coal distribution
virtually impossible, experts declared
today, and would complicate the winter
employment situation by premature cur
tailment of mining operations. Reports
from the head of the. lakes show no
effects of the strike as yet, but these
are not expected for several days as
the seamen are paid at lower lake
ports.

GOVERNMENT PLANS
TO AID RAILROADS
Means of Granting Financial Assist
ance to Carriers Being
Considered.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Means Of
lending government credit aid to the
country'S railroads are under con-
sideration IN administrative circles,
it was indicated today by high Off
cials. Any such plans, however, it
was said, would not involve the use of
government money for rendering
financial assistance to carriers. Sec
retary Hoover suggested that govern
ment guarantee of equipment trust
certificates would enable the road to
raise money for needed rolling stock
without the expenditure of funds from
the treasury. Use of the government
credit has been extended TO farmers,
Mr.. Hoover pointed out, in the
guaranteeing of farm loan bonds. He
suggested that some such method
might be utilized to aid the railroads
if the emergency should become suf-
ficiently acute to require assistance.

ARRESTED FOR
STEALING CHICKENS

Barney Todd, of north of town, was
arrested Thursday on the charge of
stealing chickens from August Krue-
ger. He was taken before Charles
Patterson, justice of the peace, who
bound him over to Lawrence county
circuit court.
Mrs. Kruger discovered early in
the morning that someone had been
in her chicken house and investiga-
ton was made. They found where
the chickens had been tied with some
cotton cloth and then placed in bug
gy. Mr.. Kruger came to Monett
and found tha the Farmers Ex-
change had bought chickens that
morning that were tied with similar
strings.
Investigation found that young
Todd had sold the chickens under the
name of L. Anderson, receiving
check in payment. This he endorsed
when he bought some goods, making
him liable for forgery charge also,
but this count has not been pushed.

THE VALUE OF ATHLETICS

Many parents of high school and
college students deplore the amount
of energy which their boys devote to
athletic work. But the heads of such
institutions, on being confronted with
such protests, are apt to look wise
and not say much. They know there
are other dangers besides athletics.
School coaches sometimes complain
that their athletic teams are not
practicing as they should for their
games, as frequently they have been
out to dances and parties so much
they have no energy left.
1t is for such reasons that the
school authorities are tolerant toward
athletics, which seem less of an evil
to them than to some parents. They
know that the boys that play on the
teams are under strong influence to
avoid vices and imprudences, to get
good sleep and nourishing food. The
good athletic coach, they know, is a.
force for clean living that counts
tremendously.
These youngsters, full of kinky life,
have got to have some outlet. If their
energy does not go into active games,
it will work off steam in other ways
less desirable. Wherefore athletic
sports are to be encouraged in every
school and college. They ought not to
overshadow the intellectual work,
and student who falls behind in his
studies should be penalized by being
taken off the team. If this point is
insisted on, athletic work is a great
power for good.

G. w. FINN ANNOUNCES
FOR MAYOR

We wish to call the attention of our
readers TO The Times of this date, to
the announcement of G. W. Finn, for
mayor, pending the will of the voters
at the coming primary election on
March 2lSt.
Judge Finn is one of Monett's most
substantial citizens, and one of her
largest property owners. Starting
as a poor boy on farm years ago,
he has by hard work and constant
application of honest business princi-
pies, as between man and man, made
a decided success of his own affairs,
which bcspeaks a like success of our
city affairs if elected as the mayor
of our city.
Judge Finn has served four years
as presiding Judge of the County
Court, and during those four years
handled the affairs of the County
with signal success. As Mayor of the
city he would sit with the County
Court each year on the Equalization
Board, and his knowledge derived by
his four years service as presiding
Judge, and his familiarity with as
sessments and taxation, will make
him a most valuable man on the
Equalization Board, as he could then
assure our citizens that their taxes
would be properly safe-guarded and
equalized.
Judge Finn moved to Monett over
three years ago from Seligman, Mis-
souri,, where he had resided in Barry
County for % years. He was sue
ceSsful merchant and Banker at Sc
ligman, Missouri, and after selling
out there, has brought all of his
money and invested it in Monet,
where he is now successful Banker
and business man-and one of Mo-
nett'S largest property holders.

WHY SET APPLE TREES NOW?

Because there are over 30 per cent
less apple trees now than there were
in 1910, according to the Washington
Bureau of reports. There are also
over so per cent less peach trees than
in 1910. What will be the result?
There is going to be a scarcity of
fruit in few years, therefore now is
a fine time to get into the game. We
have the biggest and incest block of
TWO YEAR old trees we have ever
grown, including Black Ben, Ben
Davis, GanO, Staymens Winesap,
Grimes, King David, Jonathan, and
all the leading varieties. We also
have block of one year old trees
that pleases all those who have in
spected it. This includes all the
standard varieties. We have about
10000 nice peach trees, also berry
plants, cherries, Ornamentals and etc.
