Stocks Stand
Higher Despite
Late Reaction
Marked Rise Leads to Heavy
Profit Taking During
the Last Hour, but Aver
ages Make a New High

liz spite of reaction during the last
hour of trading, which greatly reduced
the gains for the day of industrial
stocks, the average price of securities
dealt in at the New York Stock Ex-
change at the close of the market yes
terday WAS the highest final price
quoted thus far on any day in 1922.
Tne marked swiftness of the rise itself
contained elements which caused the
latter setback, as it not only invited
profit taking, but also induced a group
o. energetic traders 20 undertake to
make quick profit out of turn on
the short side
Railroad stocks, on the other hand,
we're steadier all through the session.
Many of the active shares in both rail
road and industrial groups climbed to
TIE highest prices thus far quoted this
year. AS on the previous two days,
spectators in securities were little
concerned with the coal strike, called
for to-day. The statement by the Sec
retary of Labor that at least two
months supply of fuel was on hand
tended to confirm the judgment eX-
pressed inarticulately at the market
place that. despite the clash in the coal
trade, industry generally faced no real
crisis. If coal strike should be pro
'racted an indirect probabl result will
be stimulus TO the growing tendency in
industry to substitute oil for coal as a
Uel. In recent years, even in Pitts
hurgh, the coal capital of the Western
Hemisphere, the conversion of plants
n this direction has gone on in in
creasing numbers.
Outside Of the market-place interest
was focused on an address before the
Bankers Club by Dean Jay, partner
Of Morgan, Harjes & Co. at Paris.
After the great criticism recently Of
Frances financial and military policies,
Mr.. Jays defense of France, based on
his Interpretation of facts and figures,
was regarded as a real contribution to
the subject His remarks, which are
printed in another column, are espe-
cially relevant to those seeking to
asses the investment value of French
external bonds. Mr.. Jay, expressing the
belief that France would find way
out of her difficulties, denied the init
nation that France has not been doing
her utmost economically since the sign
ing OF the armistice. The address was
noteworthy, even though The speaker
candidly partisan in the matter.
The foreign exchanges were steady
yesterday, but commodities turned mod
orately lower.

Mullins Body Jumped

Among the spectacular movements
OF yesterdays market was the rise Of
Mullins Body in the early trading from
28A to Sd. Not all of this advance was
maintained, but at the closing price of
81 there was still net rise of Az
points. The outburst of activity in the
stock was connected with wire sent
out by a Broadway commission house
to it's customers. This indicated a
turn for the better in the company's
business. and added: "March will show
an operating profit. and April and sub
sequent months promise to be good
enough to raise the question of divi-
dend resumption this year. Mullins is
operating at 20 per cent OF capacity
The continued increased output of au-
tomoblle manufacturers nsures in

shortage unless steps are taken to re-
place them or place them in good order

cent constitutes normal ratio, the
number of bad order cars on hand

Gold Imports

Receipt by the Irving National Bank
yesterday of seventy cases of German
gold coins from Sweden, valued at
s2,7oO,ooo, served to emphasize rather
than otherwise the slackenng of the
gold import movement. A few months
ago arrival OF shipments of this amount
was an almost daily occurrence; now it
IS so rare as to attract attention
Cessation of the inflow of gold pur-
chased IN the open market in London
mas contributed in important measure
TO tins slacEening. The last gold to
come forward to Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
from this source left London about six
weeks ago. There is some speculation
as to when the labor troubles in the
Rand mining district and their after
math will permit tho resumption of
offerings of the Transvaal product on
any considerable scale.

Six Wide Awake Towns Cooperate to
Advertise Communities

Six wide awake little cities in
northwestern North Dakota have join
ed their forces and are preparing to
issue collectively 10000 2s-page book
lets, advertising the resources of those
towns and surrounding communities.
S. N. Miller of Benedict, G. Colvin
of Ruso, Art Steinhaus of Max, A. c..
Stringer of Kief, N. J. Krebsbach of
kongsburg and R. A. Pence of Dog
den, visited Minot Saturday and held
meeting at which plans were per-
fected.
The Ward County Independent will
print the booklets at an early date.
Each town is to be given four pages
in the booklet and each community
will show two scenes. The cost for
each community has been reduced to
minimum and it is believed that
this cooperation will bring good re-
suits. This is a rather unique idea in
cooperation and the outcome will be
watched with interest.
The representatives from those
towns inform The Independent that
the crops are immense thruout their
respective localities and they look
for quite an influx Of settlers either
the coming fall or early in the spring.

Pioneers Return from California

Mr., and Mrs. Michael Muir of San
ia Monica, Calf, arrived last week
to visit at the home of their daughter,
Mrs. A. B. Hills and to look after
their 500 acre ranch near Burlington.
The Muirs who were pioneer Ward
county settlers moved west some
years ago and have been living in
California for four years. Mr.. Muir
says that living expenses are quite
low in California. He rents a two
room fiat with kitchenette for $22.50
a month, which includes the general
laundry work. The gas bill for cook
ing amounts to dollar month. No
heat is required during the year. Mr..
Muir enjoys fishing off the pier, and
is quite successful in landing mack
erel, halibut and the yellow tail fish.
Two black bass or Jew fish, weighing
305 and 48O pounds respectively, were
caught off the pier recently.
Mr.. Muir came to Ward county in
1888 driving an OK team from Grand
Forks. L. S. Foote came at the same
time with an OK team. Mr.. Muir had
driven a team of horses from his
old home, Monmouth, III. to Grand
Forks and when he came to this coun-
ty, the Great Northern had built as
far as a point 20 miles east of Devils
Lake.
Mr.. and Mrs. Muir will remain here
until October. Mr.. Muir is talking
of selling his fine ranch, which con
tains some of the finest hay meadows
in this section of the state.

A live and up to date carnival wilr
be one Of the many attractions at
the Ward County Fair in Minot Sept.
II to IS inclusive. The r1anare
ment has just booked the we'll known
Greater Sheesley Shows to appear at
the fair during the gala week of the
fall, and the company with it's long
special train will come down from
Canada where it is playing u notably
successful season.
The Greater Sheesley Shows is Il
good sized aggregation and includes
five rides, Is shows of various kinds
and long string of 80 or more con-
ccssions. 1t comes highly recon-
mended and will be an item of much
general interest at the fair. A lively
and colorful Midway will be arranged.
The fair management is working

pected to include horse, automobile
and motorcycle competitions and local

gave an excellent address, speaking
first from a period thirty-tive" years
ago, and then from the present per-
iod, showing the progress that Minot
was to make and the progress she
is to make in years to come.
In the third episode, dramatizing
the coming of the pioneers and their
struggles, fine interpretations were
given by VIM. F. Gettleman as the
pioneer man, Ida M. Brevad as the
pioneer woman, Isabel Aaberg as
Fever, Alcinda Macdonald as Fam
ine and Denver Perry as Death. This
act was realistic part of the dan
gers that lurked in field and forest
and river, and of the hardships that
faced the pioneers. 1t was tribute,
too, to the women who came here in
those days and brought success to
the men by their faith and prayers.
Without them many a pioneer would
have died or turned back, for the
women gave them encouragement and
hope and love, and that was all they
needed to conquer.
Young Girls Are Delight
Miss Jeanne Fuller, was delight
ful ill-o-the-wisp, the spirit Of the
prairie. Seldom have I seen girl
so young with such a fine combina-
ton of technical and interpretative
ability. She is an excellent dancer,
and she will go far in this work.
Miss Caroline Loomis, elected by
popular vote, was delight to the eye
as Miss Whynot Minot", and Miss
Phoebe Tice made an excellent Miss
Columbia. With their court of honor
they sat at the foot of the hill in a
reserved spot and watched the page
ant. Miss Helen Burns made fine
Sakakawea.
1t is impossible to catalogue the
names of all those who contributed
to the success Of the pageant, for
over 400 young people took part.
Most Of them are from Minot, but
many of them came from Adams, Ar
negard, Balfour, Barton, Benedict,
Berthold, Bismarck, Bottineau, Bow
bells, Carpie, Coleharbor, Denbigh,
Des Lacs, Donnybrook, Douglas, Dog
den, Foxholm, Granville, Kenmare,
Kief, Kramer, Lignite, Mohall, Ma
koti, Montana, New Rockford, Norma,
Norwich, Orrin, Penn, Ray, Rolette,
Rugby, Ryder, Stanley and others.
Johnson and Milloy
Credit must be given though, to
Melvin B. Johnson, who directed the
performance, and James Milloy, Sec
ratary of the Association of Com
merce, who had charge of all the az
rangements. Mr.. johnson did an ex-
ceptionally fine bit of work as direc-
tor, and Mr.. Milloy worked long and
hard to make it success. They had
the cooperation of all the people of
EEinot.

Governor Nestos today makes the
following appeal to the people of
North Dakota
North Dakota is about to harvest
the best general average crop which
has been grown since 1916. Practi-
cally every resident Of this state is
directly or indirectly dependent upon
the net profits from our farming oper-
ations. Whether we can harvest and
thresh this crop without loss or dam
age depends to a very considerable
extent upon an adequate supply Of
experienced farm labor which can be
relied upon to deliver a days work
for reasonable days pay. A poor
class and an inadequate supply Of
farm help employed at high wages
can dissipate the profit over cost Of
