lively speaking, the period of uncer-

evidently been disturbed by recent mar

sequence of rumors and uncertainty.
The near future of these companies
can Only be guessed at, but, irrcspec-
tive of Price, your investment position
would be more comfortable if you
were to substitute either sound first

question. This is not to be construed
as an opinion that classes these secu
rites as other than reasonably good in

over a ten-year period must be taken
into consideration in giving a fair csti
mate of a sccuritys worth.

Answer - Wickwirc Spencer Steel
Corporation 7la per cert secured con-
vertible notes are direct obligation Of
,hc company and spec ficaliy secured by
the deposit with the trustee Of the en-
tire capital stock of the American Wire
Fabrics Corporation. In forming opin-
ION of the grade OF these notes for in
vestment purposes the following facts
should be considered: $13,22S,000 first
mortgage bonds were issued in 1920;
the last payment on the common Glass
shares was made February /, 1921;
income rccount for 1921 shows a net
loss from operations of S3,635040,
against profit of $662,116 for 1920.
In view of the foregoing we are not dis
posed to give these bonds a rating
higher than "fAir."

at must be recognized that even

, considerable decline in the price
st hogs since the first Of June and
relatively low prices for other aglj-
cultural products have reduced the
purchasing power OF the farmer.
The situation Is similar in respect
TO other important classes of raw
materials. These conditions and the
fact that not far from 100000 men
were continuously out of work SIS
a result of The strikes during the

major factors which have blocked

NORTHWESTERN
BEGINS TO SHOW
Linemen Of Purple Institution Are
Of the Light But Speedy
Variety.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-After five
days of practice the Northwestern
university football squad began to
show possibilities yesterday. The
linemen, who have been drilling
strenuously, are for the most part
light and fast. Ole Dahl, veteran
guard, may develop into one of the
best linemen ever turned out at
the north shore school. Dahl plav-
ed a steady, consistent game last
season, although it was his first
year on the squad. A newcomer is
Herman Hathaway. brother of
Fighting Jack" Hathaway, 1922

has been on the ineligible list, is

START BOXING
SHOW EARLIER
Than CUSTOM


The boxing program at Douglas
park next Monday night will start
at 8 O'Clock. Get that right, Mr..
Fan. The custom in the tri-cities
has been to start such affairs at
$3.50 o'clock, but in this instance
the state officers of the American
Legion have requested that the half
hour earlier starting time be OBJ
served SO as to permit other festivi-
ties slated for later in the evening
getting started on time.
The first preliminary which
brings together Young Moha of
Rock Island and Sailor Larson of
Moline at 122 pounds will start at
Is O'Clock, followed Immediately by
the second prelim. Jimmy Gill
will be one of the principals in this
number. his opponent to be defin-
itely selected later. 1t is probable
that Young Caesar of East Moline
will have the call. Both prelimin-
aries will be four-round affairs.
The semi-windup of six rounds
promises to be as interesting as the
main go. frankie Schmalzer of
Milwaukee is here to establish
himself in the tri-city boxing cir
l~cles, and he will go the limit to
make a showing against the rugged
battling Check of Davenport. At
12S pounds this bout should prove
corker. -
Jimmy Clabby, Hammond middle
weight, who meets Tommy Comis-
key in the windup of 10 rounds was
scheduled to arrive in the tri-cities
this afternoon to finish his train
ing. Comiskey will likely be along
later in the week.
Interest in the show is picking
up by leaps and bounds. Popular
prices are proving an incentive
Plans for selling tickets to the Wis
iting legion men call for handling
of the ducats at the registering
booths. AS soon as a man regis
tiers he will be asked to purchase
his pasteboard. In this manner it
is believed that the majority of Wis
itors will be on hand at the park
when festivities start.

will journey to East Chicago t..
night to see Bud Taylor of Terre
Haute and Harold Smith of the
yards mix for 10 rounds. The box
ers will weigh in at the Arcade at
O'Clock this afternoon, when thew
are scheduled to make 116 pounds
Although Smith il a favorite in
the yards, Taylor is we'll liked by
those who follow the glove WELD
ing art. Last winter Taylor broke
George Corbett's jaw in an exhi-
bltion at the yards. A benefit was
held later for the injured boxer
and Taylor not only appeared to
give an exhibition but he paid his
way and that of his sparring part
ner. This sportsmanlike act won
the Terre Haute Tiger numerous
