BY DAVID NJ. CHURCH,

the Exchequer Stanley Baldwin.
who departed today for the United
States to negotiate for the funding
OF the British debt. declared that he
was ready to enter into practical

or any other affecting world finance.
Baldwin expressed the hope that
the United States would intervene
in assisting to settle some of the
problems which are troubling the
world.
Aim Il to Refund Debt.
II am going straight to Washing.
ton to visit President Harding and
to begin work Immediately" said
the chancellor Of exchequer. MY
primary object Is to settle the

quickest possible time and to get
the best possible terms
Asked II he were ready to
participate in an International
financial conference such as Sena.

piled: -"If the President raises this

The chancellor was in a jolly

Trading In Government Bonds

NEWS Service.)
NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-After wan
dering for some distance from their
par price the new Treasury ~ per
cent bonds have returned to the fold
and are now quoted at a slight prem
ium above their issue price. While
this Is one of the features Of the
Government bond market. 1t is by
no means the most important one,
being overshadowed by the increas.
ing investment demand for the Az
Liberty bonds OF all issues.
Investment bankers who have
kept in close touch with the bond
market have been Of the opinion
that a good many Of the Government
war bonds. which were under general
liquidation In the first part of the
month would lead investment de-
mands at the close, and have seen
their predictions substantiated. Trad.
Ing in Government bond issues has
been in good volume, and the price
trend has been toward higher values.
There has been less improvement
during the last six weeks in the mar.
ket for so-called speculative railroad
and industrial bonds than In other
sections OF the market. This IL
partly due to the uneasiness in in.
vestment circles over the poor show.
ing OF a number of the companies
which stand behind these bonds. Not
In every case are they backed up
by tangible, salable property which
could be quickly liquidated in case
OF default in payment of principal or
interest on the bond.
A prominent investment banker.
speaking on this subject recently,
stated that in more than a few
cases the holders of some bonds
would fare better II the companies
did default in their payment. In
explanation. he stated there was
sufficient real property behind some
of the low.priced bonds in the mar.
ket to give the bondholder more
than the bonds would bring in the
open market at the present time.
Some of the low price rails, for
example. are secured not only by
a lien on the property Of the rail
roads. but also by valuable coal
lands and leases Of various kinds
worth a good deal more than ap
pears on the surface.

"QUEENIE" WAS SMART DOG

Making Friends.

"Queenic." was an intelligent dog"
was the Comment of a student in the
College of Agriculture. in referring to
an Airdale dog owned by ]. c. Wells.
'lie wouldn't make friends with anyone
except his master"
Quecnic is known to all the students
on the White Campus. for she attended
classes as regularly as her master. Her
reputation. however. indicates that she
was very conservative in making friends.
This. however. is probably because Of her
ancestors, who were undoubtedly excep-
fiOnaIly vain, for her pedigree shows on
the sire side, four champions. and on the
dam side. three champions, both in Eng
land and in America.
Mr.. Wells home is in GAINESVILLE. Mo.
He was graduated from the College Of
