the local livestock exchange today, re
covering losses sustained on Satur-
days sight buying and equalling the

with outside buying demand accounted
for the price.

But if the dog house is newly
built, and if the boy has been wander

day, telling of his adventure.
William went riding with his uncle
in an automobile. When the lad got

Early in the morning, a rooster
Hoffman had bought to occupy the

in the dark doghouse, to stop it's
growing. Going out, he saw Williams
feet protruding from the doghouse.

Then he took William into the
house, warmed him up, fed him and

thetic and scientific eye OF 1000

in the country, together with many
other women friends Of children in

to erect a national college Of childhood
at Evanston. near Chicago, where
they were graduated from the Ma

the National kindergarten and Ele-
mentary College are teachers in kim
dergartens and elementary schools,
dependent upon their salaries, or
young mothers, they have pledged
from their small incomes and means
Of delivering tt appeal for a better
childhood to all those interested, as
they describe it in better things. Ac-
cording to their announcements, there
never has been a time in the history
of America or of the world when the
demand for a better education of the
little child was so insistent as at pres
ent." 1t is also pointed out that there
never has been a greater demand for

children and mothers who have sym
pathetic underselling of child nature.
The adoption of compulsory kinder
garten laws in various States, and the
growing recognition of the need for
revolution in elementary education
which will eliminate the silence and
rigidity of the old hickory stick type
of instruction for children, has caused,
it is asserted, a widespread demand
for teachers who have been trained to
a sympathetic understanding Of the
natures of prospective citizens.

NEW YORK. Jan. Vigorous con-
tinuance of forward movement in
progress at the close of 1922 marked
the start of the new year on the New
York Stock Exchange. With reas-
sembling Of the allied premiers at the
Paris conference it was expected in
influential financial circles that i'm
portant developments were in sight
with regard TO rehabilitation Of Euro
pean industry. Sterling reflected this
view by advancing IL TO S4.647s,
while stocks were uniformly strong.
New highs on the move were achieved

@3clair Kelly, Producers and Refners
and Continental Can.
BuIlish enthusiasm continued in the
general list in the first thirty minutes.
Rails participated in the upswing, but
the principal demonstrations were
staged in the industrials under the
leadership of oils. Cosden reached a
new high on the move at 549s.
The year starts with the offering Of
$50 900 900 Armour & Co. of Delaware

sight, the outlook is for a strong stock
market.
Trading proceeded at a slower pace
in the second hour. but the general
list maintained a strong tone. Trad
ing in oils was the outstanding infiu-
enie. Buying of all good oils has been
better lately than any time since the
collapse of high-priced Standard Oil
