BY /. A. FLEMIN G.

Reports from 500 of the leading
banks of the country indicate that
the purchases of these Institutions
have been a factor of no small i'm
portance in the activity and rapid up
ward movement of bonds during the
period from August l, 1921, when the
acquisition Of bonds on large scale
began to be noticeable.
At the same time bonds began to
advance to the great enhancement of
the value of the bonds held by bank
ers on which they had taken heavy
depreciation losses.
The demand for money from bust
ness sources has been so slack, up to
recently, that bankers have largely
employed their funds. that is the more
conservative. in bonds.
July q, 1921, the 500 banks referred

$4,000 Treasury certificates and
S2,039 $4,000 other bonds.

tions held $1,068.12S,00O of govern
ment bonds. $82,S53,000 victory notes,
$568,458,000 Treasury certificates and
notes and s2.13s.777.000 other bonds,
The banks evidently sold their vic

Benjamin d. Price, formerly a
noted architect of Pennsylvania, died
at his residence in this town at 5:45
Tuesday evening, age II years. He
began his career as an architect in
Philadelphia in 1870, from which city
he removed in 1881 to Lansdowne,
thence ins1S95 TO Atlantic Highlands,
New Jersey, where he continued in
business until 1914, when a malady
from which he had been suffering
for some years forced him to retire
and seek milder climate. He visit
ed several places in Florida, but did
not locate until 1915, when he came
to Punta Gorda and found the place
and people SO pleasant that he settled
here. His ailment was paralysis
agitans, an unusual and obscure form
of the disease, which the best physi-
clans of the country could not sue
cessfully combat During his activi-
ties, Mr.. Price made a speciality of de-
signs and working drawings for
churches of moderate cost. which have
been built in every state in the union
and stand as monuments to his skill
and taste. He was married October
23rd, 1872, to Miss Mary w. Dingee,
who, with one child, Max Charles
Price, survives him. This son, as is
well known, is city manager of Punta
Gorda. Deceased is the last and
youngest of family of seven. His
parents were German Baptists, and he
was raised in that faith. During his
residence here, he was rarely seen
on the streets, his malady confining
him to his home practically all the
time. Funeral services which were
very simple, were held at the resi-
dence Wednesday morning, being con-
Quoted by Rev. Francis A. Kerns, pas

were largely attended. During the
services, all the business houses were

Cemetery. General and sincere sym
pathy is felt for his bereaved wife and

Did you ever hear of Doolittle?
If some fellow had told your grand
father when he was a boy that in

would take dinner one evening on q

broad Atlantic and at ten o'clock bid
his friends good night saying, II am
dining with friends on the Pacific
Coast tomorrow evening. / must be

have looked upon the predictor as
either laughablc romancer or a pit

Well-DOOlittle did it. And not
many people noticed it. The whole
world accepted it as little news item
of passing interest. Few even noted
the item and most Of those who did
as quickly forgot it.
Lieutenant James H. DoOlittle, U.
S. Army aviator, hoped off in his
aeroplane from the broad Atlantic at
Pablo Beach at three minutes past
ten O'Clock Labor Day. At 5:34 the
next afternoon (Pacific time), he
stepped out of his sky-boat at San

take breakfast with his wife and
In actual flying time, he

more than a passing news item of the
hour now. We have grown accus-
toned to startling events.
Some day some fellow will rise up
