FINANCING
LOOKED FOR
SOON
Several important Projects
Expected to Be Announced
This Week.
BY MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1923. by Cosmopolitan
News Servfce.)

NEW YORK, Feb. when the
British war debt commissioners in
serted clause in their agreement
to the effect that Liberty bonds
might be used as installment pay
mentS to our Government, they
were looking to the future rather
than to any immediate advantage
which might accrue to them.
Financial history shows that over
a period of ten or twenty years
there are periodic cycles in which
money rates rise and fall and bond
prices move in strict accordance
Herewith. It was only few years
ago that some of our Liberty bond
issues sold as low as 81, al decline
of eighteen points. Had the British
debt agreement been in effect at
that time, the British would have
saved IS per cent on the amount
of payments made under this pro-
cess. These bonds may never DE.
cline to that extent, or even half
that much, but q discount of two
or three points would be an in1-
portant factor from their stand
point.
On the other hand, the market
for Liberty bonds has received an
important stimulus, one that will
doubtless prevent another slump in
prices for a long time to come.
While the. number of new bonds
coming to the market thus far this
week has been comparatively small
er, it is reported in the financial
district that some important
projects are under negotiation and
may be completed before the end
OF the week.
The Sinclair Crude Oil purchas-
ing company is negotiating with a
group of New York bankers for the
sale of $20,000,O00 of short term
notes, a part of the total authorize
ton of $50,000,000. The new issue
will bear 515 per cent interest and
will mature in thirty years with a
possible prior redemption date.
Financing for the Youngstown
Sheet and Tube Company, 1t is
understood will take the form Of an
issue of $35,0O0,0O0 of debenture
bonds. This issue, according to re-
port, will also be handled by a
New York banking syndicate.
Offering is made today of a new
issue of $10,O00.OOO of Price Broth
ers & Co., first mortgage twenty
year sinking fund gold bonds due
February /, 1943 at 98h and in
terest to yield a little over per
cent. The bonds are, callable at
1914 on February /, 1888 and at y
OF per cent less each year there
after to maturity. The proceeds of
this issue will be, used for retiring
bonds, for increasing the water
power development, and for in
creasing the capacity of the paper
mills.
Other new bond offerings today
include 100000 city of Galveston,
Texas, per cents, maturing 1928
to 1862, and 100000 city of Column
bus, Ohio, per cent school bonds
due serially from 1945 to 1913.

NEGLECTlNG THEIR LANGUAGE
Younger Chinese Since the Revolution
Show Preference for English
and French.

To judge from the numerous arti.
Giles that are being written on China,
Its literature is not reaping great bene-
fits from the revolution. In the first
place, the Chinese language is be-
Ing pushed more and more into the
background. The younger generation
no longer receives the training II once

hand In hand with this goes their
preference for foreign languages
English primarily, and then French,
with little German. 1t is, of course,
impossible for a country to build up
a body of national literature in a for
eign language. Intellectually, how
ever, China Is making reassuring prog

Sulphur is often used to anchor bolts
in cement or stone floors, but as 1t
catches fire so easily when melted over

convenient. The difficulty can, how

lead, and then partly immersing the

AwyEp NOT REQUIRED

Since Mr. Whitfield's opponents
are endeavoring to discount MS
ability to make governor, suppose
we reason the matter little, ana
see if their contention will hold. we
have i'm the race for Governor, -FOUR
lawyers. Whitfield, 1t seems while
educated for lawyer, reformed
before he entered on the practice
of law and devoted his time, talent
and energies in and along other
lines.
For the past thirty -five years he
has labored i'm season and out for
the unfit and betterment or hu-
mainly and for his native state.
Today he lives in the hopes, hearts
and ambitions Of thousands or MIS-
sissippi's fairest and purest women
whose aims, purposes and nlgh
ideals were inspired by him. Ihey
know that he has been tired ana
that he has measured up TO every
requirement and met every test
without finch. They are support
ing him in this race with an en-
thusiasm and devotion never Defofe
witnessed in Mississippi politics.
They know he will be an honor TO
the office, for he has been tried, ana
elected will be a credit to Mississippi.
They know he will not disgrace the
state, or cause the blush of shame
to mantle the cheek of purity. y
man of rugged honesty, of settled
conviction, of pure ideals, Of mature
Judgment, of experience in pubic
affairs, of recognized ability, they
believe that these facts coupled with
thirty five years of devoted and
unselfish service to the people of
Mississippi, entities him to the pro-
motion he seeks.
And we believe that a vast ma
jority Of the sober, thoughtful, un-
biased men of our State agree with
the women, and that III. L. Whitfield
will be the next Governor of Mis-
sissippi.
1t is not altogether essential that
our Governor be a lawyer. Some of
our greatest governors were not
lawyers. Stone, Humphreys, and
others who preceded them were the
| greatest in achievement and the
most stalwart in character. Does
not Whitfield come nearest to them
of anything offering for Governor?
| Then, don't you think, dear voter,
that the time is now ripe to elect
broad gagged, cultured, christian
| gentleman and business man, and
give the lawyer politician much
needed rest. - Winston COu n y

NEXT TUESDAY

The people of Mississippi will go
to the polls next Tuesday to cast
their ballots for officials from the
governor on down.
Our state needs good men and 1t
is to be hoped that the people will
exercise the best of judgment in
the selection of officers There never
was az time in the history of the
state when the need was SO grea>
for general housekeeping, es-
pecially in the higher offices.
Too long have we been burdened
with incompetents-men holding
high office who could not hope to
succeed in business venture or
their own, to say nothing of con-
Quoting the affairs of government.
Next to the choice of governor III
importance comes the selection or
Boards of Supervisors. A county
possessing an able body of men is
indeed fortunate. Too often do we
find men sitting in the county
councils who are not fitted either
by education or training to properly
legislate for the good of the people.
1t will be well to remember next
Tuesday that whoever you are vot-
ing for, if elected, is to hold office
for four years, and that is a long
long time for an incompetent, if such
he happens to be, to hold office.
SO far we have made no effort to
influence your vote, and we are
not doing so now. This is merely
a friendly word of caution.
Remember, four years is long
time.
