Outlook For Stock Prices

The stock market, having swung too
far toward the high side in anticipation
Of good business boom, lately went
too far toward the low side when brok-
ers loans assumed formidable proper
tions at season when high money
rates were normally TO be expected.
The volume of transactions on the New
York Exchange has been insufficient
TO indicate general distribution, such
as that which usually marks the end
Of an upward movement.
II seems unlikely that new high lev
els will be recorded until the turn OF
the year, but the general outlook en-
courages the expectation Of a rising
trend developing into broad upward
movement during the spring Of 1923.
Outlook For Bond Prices
A careful consideration of the factors
which affect the bond market, discloses
conditions generally favorable to al
advance. But two factors adverse Il
such an advance appear. These are
(a) the cost of living Is increasing
thus reducing the purchasing power o.
bond incomes; (b) apprehension as /,
the recurrence Of bonus bill and III
effect upon taxes already too burden
some.
All other conditions seem favorabl,
to a rise in bond prices. As we point
ed out year ago, the number of in
vestors in the country has multiple,
since 1912; the supply of new higl
grade issues has not and does not seen
likely TO keep pace with the increase,
demand; funds available for invest
ment are plentiful and likely to remail
so. While bond prices appear high a

The appended chart facilitates such

Is Caught.

Winsted, Gonna 15-pound goose
was killed in combat with large
dark-brown owl in small Enclosure

There were two geese under cover
In the small yard when the owl en-
tered and pitched on one of the geese,

succumbing to the attacks of the owl.
The body of the goose, its breast
punctured and one wing torn, was
still warm when Francesca entered the
Enclosure. The victorious gladiator,
clad in an armor of ice which had
formed during sleet storm following

jured. Francesca caught the owl alive.

HOLDERS OF WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS

Although 1913 War Savings Stamps
do not mature until January 1st, 1923,
Postmaster Albert L. Fontaine an
nounces that he will accept them on
and after November 18th in exchange
for the new 4fe Treasury Savings Ger
tifcates.
Every 1918 Stamp presented now
will be accepted at its maturity value
of five dollars if used as part payment
for one or more new Certificates, dated
January /, 1928.
This opportunity should appeal to
everyone who holds War Savings
Stamps bought in 1918-whether he
holds one Stamp or two hundred
Postmaster Albert L. Fontaine is
anxious to handle the bulk of these ex-
changes before the usual Christmas
rush begins at the postoffice. All own
ers of 1918 War Savings Stamps
should take notice and govern them
selves accordingly.

BOY SHOOTS
SELF BY ACCIDENT
While ATPLAY

Ray Miller, II, son of Harry Miller,
former proprietor of the Julien Hotel,
was seriously wounded in the left
shoulder at about o'clock Tuesday
evening, while at play at the Frank
Otto home on Grand avenue. A ply
sician was called and the boy was
taken to the hospital where he is re-
ported to be recovering, but with a
very painful wound.
The boy stated to Chief of Police
Payne Wednesday morning that he
had taken the gun, 30 calibre revol-
yer, from the dresser drawer at his
home that evening and gone to play
with the young people at and near
the Frank Otto home While there he
sat on the ground and was shivering
with the cold. The gun fell out of his
pocket, he picked it up and was hand
ling it, when in some way he could
not explain, it was discharged and the
bullet entered his shoulder. He did
not know anything more until he came
to in the Otto home, whence he was
rushed to the hospital.

Wisconsin Rapids, with their thous-
ands of taxed valuation in property
and incomes, wish to pay for share
in a Tuberculosis Sanatorium in which
a goodly percentage of the patients
are bound to be from the smaller ci-
ties, villages and towns, why should
those towns object?
In other words, if a population Of
1900 or SO, having one representative
on the county board and paying taxes
on as much valuation as the whole city
of Pittsville with it's three members,
desire to make it easier for them to
get from the city out to Pfttsville, how
can they help making it easier for
Pittsville people to go to the city or
to points beyond? Good roads bene-
fit more than the people who demand
them. They benefit more. than the
people who pay for them even, They
even go further and benefit the people
who oppose their construction.
"Raids" on the county treasury, as
well as most other matters that come
beforetheB oard are pretty largely
settled by "a majority of the members
voting" If your members aren't
right, that's as much the fault of the
voters as Of the members, to say the
least.

BOY SCOUTS RAN CITY
LAST SATURDAY AFTERNOON

The officers elected by the Boy
Scouts last week ran the city last Sat-
urday afternoon. Mayor Harold Bill
meyer and a complete staff of Scouts
filed the offices for the time being.
John Redford as Justice of the Peace
held court and tried a man for vagran-
cy, drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct. Former City Clerk Gilkey acted
as prosecuting attorney and Former
Chief of Police R. S. Payne was attor-
ney for the defense
Under the coaching of w. H. Gets,
John ruled the court with an iron hand
and heard the evidence submitted. The
work Of the defense appealed most
strongly to him and the prisoner was
acquitted Much pleasure and amuse-
ment, as well as full measure of
valuable instruction, filed the time.
The boys will long remember the ex-
perience and knowledge gained while
they ran the city and held court The
plan of having the Scouts learn the
ropes in this way is worthy of com
mendation. We men are ready enough
to find fault and condemn the mis-
takes Of youth. 1t ought to be a good
thing for men and boys both to take
the boys more into our confidence and
show them how to avoid the mistakes
before they are made.

eral years past, and who is president
Of the State Association of City Su-

ma the best of success in whichever
field he may choose.

MODEL CITY ORDINANCE

Stevens Point, visa model or
dinance which provides for the crea-
tion of a city plan commission has
been approved by the directors of the
Chamber of Commerce and will be
submitted to the common council at
its next meeting for consideration.
The ordinance aims to give the city

der state law of planning its future
growth and. development It pro-
vides that the council shall refer 20
the commission for it's consideration
and report, before final action is tax

lion.
All plats of land in the city within

CHARGED With
Buying MOON

Investigations of the furnishing of
liquor to boys last week resulted in
the arrest Of Ford and Walter Slusser
Saturday. The Slusser boys, before
Judge w. H. Gets Saturday morning
protested their innocence, and waived
examination. They were bound over
to Circuit Court under bonds of $500
each. Bonds for Ford Slusser were
furnished by Henry Wagner local taxi
and transfer man, while VIM. Cum
mings went on the bond for Walter
Slusser.
The boys, four of them who furnish
I'd the information were picked up in
an intoxicated condition on down town
streets by patrolman Louis Painter
some days ago. They told how the
Slusser. boys had taken them to the
'Hoop-A-Doo" roadhouse south of
town and had entered and bought
liquor for them with money which the
boys furnished. The ages of the boys
range from fifteen to nineteen years.
Chief Payne denied Monday that the
boys were students at the Lincoln
High School.
The Investigations in this case, how
ever, may lead to discovery of the
sources from which boys who are in
school are securing the liquor which
some of them are said to have had on
different occasions. The School Board
| and school authorities are said to be
Investigating the matter also, and it
IS expected that results will shortly
be achieved which will cut down the
illicit liquor traffic in this direction
very materially.

SAYS WE WOULD RAID
COUNTY TREASURY

In connection with a mention of the
County Board Session the Pittsvilla
Record of last week declares that the
County Seat is planning several raids
on the County Treasury, and men
tions the proposed Tri-County Tuber-
culosis Sanatorium as one project for
which the Treasury is to be ''raided''
and certain connecting links in the
Trunk Highway system as other pur-
poses for which such raids are plan
ned.
If the City of Pittsville with its
three resentatives on the County
Board, representing altogether fewer
voters and taxpayers than any one
ward of this city, cannot. hold its own
in resisting such raids" it won't be
the fault of the Record.

CHURCHES TEACHING
WITH MOVING PICTURES

The Congregational church of this
city which was one of the first in the
United States to install moving
picture machine, has resumed its use,
after period in which it was idle be-
cause of the difficulty of securing
suitable films. There are now at least
two firms which make a business of
producing films appropriate for use
in religious services, it was stated by
the pastor, Rev. Noel j. Breed, and
films of the sort are gaining in pop
ularity and availability.
Sunday evening, good crowd en-
joyed the exhibition of "fhe Stream Of
Life" well acted picture carrying d
strong religious message. It is six
reel picture showing the value and i'm
portance of the Christian faith as a
comforter in trouble and distress, and
many an eye was tear-wet and many a
throat was tightened as it showed the
early days of boys life in the sort
OI d religious IlOiIIO LIldL itiOSG AHlcII-
cans of a generation ago grew up in.
The return of the grown man to the
faith of his sainted mother is faithful
ly and vividly depicted, and the whole
picture speaks an eloquent sermon to
the open mind of the present-day busy
man and woman.
NJ E. Church Uses Slides.
The First NJ. E. church is using for
it's Sunday evening services stereop-

stimulating the interest of the public
in the missionary program of the
church, states Rev. A. A. Bennett, pas
tor.
Both these churches invite the gen
eral public to attend these Sunday
evening services and learn more of the
religious phases of modern life.
