ROGER w. BABSON ON ~
 THE STOCK MARKET
Statistician Tells Reasons for
 Peculiarities of the t... Market \ A.

In view of the peculiar way that the stock market has bees acting the past few days and. the various rumors that are about regarding the great steelf mergers, we have sought the opinion of Roger W. Babson concern ing the same.
 "So far as the long swing goes" says the statistician, everything looks we'll, both for the bond market and for the stock market. We are en- tering into a period of low money rates which may extend over some years. If so, the bond market will continue to climb upward for a simi- lar length of time. This does not mean that bonds will advance as much next year as they have ad- vanced this year, nor as much in 1924 as they will be in 1923. More over, reactions will occur now and then. The general tendency, however, should be for a strong bond market for several years.
 "The stock market has not yet reached its zenith. Those who have bought securities and have them in their boxes should not worry about present market movements, or con- flicting rumors. We have only started on a great broad movement in the security markets which will take both bonds and stocks to much higher prizes. The United States of America hakalways been a great country; but today it is the Center of the worlds production, distribution, and financ- ing, If it is two years before we are back again in another period of pros perity, it will be two years before the stock market turns on it's great trip downward.
 "The stock market, however, is like the ocean. Tn addition to the great tidal movements, there are squalls, storms, and periods of calmness and of roughness The stock broker watches a certain barometer as does the mariner at sea. This barometer strongly suggests today that there may soon be storm in the stock market. 1t looks rather cloudy and at points there is pressure which is not natural. The optimistic tone which has been characteristic of the market for many months has tenn porarily gone. The rumor-mongers and tipsters are again doing busi- ness. Insiders who have been accum- ulating for some months are khown to have distributed their holdings. They are now waiting for shake down and another chance to get aboard before the next upward move ment. .e s-.
 Regarding the reported steel merger" continued MT. Babson, "1 will say that there has been much talk about this, so much so that it looks as if certain parties were using it for window dressing. The capftali- zation of the combined Bethlehem

TROLLEY OR BUS?
Chairman of Selectmen Cobb Says
 Company Pays $25OO Taxes

Company Pays $ZSOO Taxes
 Chairman George H. Cobb of the board of selectmen talked yesterday with representative of the Courier in regard to the proposed action of the local authorities in regard to the competing 'bus line and trolley ser vice.
 He stated that he had just been to Sheffield and there found the board of assessors in session. These men in the village to the south wanted to see the trolley service resumed. Chairman Cobb called at tention to the fact that the trolley company pays about $25OO in taxes each year to the town of Great Bar rington and that the 'bus line only pays $20 license fee. He said that he had found that the trolley com pany will not operate any further service until the bus line is elimin- ated. MT. Cobb also stated that the trolley company operated for years on a five-cent fare and lost money.
 The general tone of the statements made by the chairman of the board of selectmen would indicate that he is in favor of the elimination of the bus line and the inauguration of extended trolley service.-Berkshire Courier

CITY SCHOOL NOTES

sented at the State Contests this year.
Our cornetist Gunder Christianson
carried away the first honors and
brought home the gold medal in the
cornet solo event. He had strong
competition and we were all doubt
full until the final contest on Satur-
day morning. In this contest Gunder |
did his very best while the Fargo |
cornetist who had won first place in
the preliminaries was little bit ner-
vous. with the result that Gunder was
awarded first place by the judges.
Our Saxaphone player, Sheldon
Wheeler, was not as fortunate as
Gunder altho he played equally as
| we'll. 1t seems that there were not
saxaphones enough entered in con-
test and so Sheldon was forced to
complete against flute, two violin
quartetN besides other saxaphones.
Sheldon was by far the best saxa-
phone player in the State contest but
was awarded only third place in the
group. We are sure that this was an
unfair arrangement and when Shell
don goes to the State next year we
sincerely hope he will only have
saxaphones to complete with.
In the Track events competition
was very great. Five state records
were broken during the meet. Harme-
son, deaf mute from the Devils Lake
school for the deaf, was the sensation
OF the meet. He broke two state rec
ords and won S points for the school.
The meet was tie between Grand
Forks and Fargo with 25 points each.
The Deaf School, with only two men
entered won "a points and second
place in the meet. Delbert Bjork-
lund won place in the preliminary
discus throw but came in fifth in the
finals with throw of SO it. and in.
With little more practice and ex-
perience We believe our boys will be
able to capture few points in the
state track meet.
