BONDS HOLD WELL

Government Issue Strong.
Rails Also Up-French
+ Issues Reactionary.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 23.-The bond
market held surprisingly well today
considering the weakness in stocks.
Some of the foreign bonds, principally
French issues, reacted. and there was
heaviness here and there in the rail-
way list, as we'll as In certain special
ties. but the high grade and the good
second grade bonds were well taken
whenever sellers offered any conces-
sions. .':
All the United States government
loans were firm to strong, with the
greatest activity in the old liberty
AVS. This was a perfectly natural
development resulting from the con-
tinuing ease in the money market.
1t Is possible that buying for the ac-
count OF the British treasury may
be in progress. Firmness also was
the rule In the high-grade rails and
industrials, with only a few excep-
tions. one of which seemed to be
Reading general As.
Foreign LOSSES Small.
Interest attached to the action of
the foreign bonds because of the in
creaSing seriousness of the news from
Germany and the weakness In franc
exchange. Both French IS and 7k S
opened fractionally lower. but again
today the noteworthy feature was
that the losses were so small. French
cities 6s fiuctuated over a wide range.

The SIS are secured by first mortgage

ty-for Investments-for Homes
TARRANT CITY INDUSTRIES AND BUSINESS MEN MAKE THRIVING SUBURB HUM

and are laying plans for a larger
 Beside the Main avenue leading into the business section there is completed modern school house that cost S50000. It is one of the most attractive and best appointed in the county.
 August 1, the Tarrant City Saw ings Bank opened its doors for the first time, established with $25,000 capital September 1, desposits totaled $53,00O. September 26 deposits had reached S65,000.
 Streets and Bungalows.
 Already the town has many honey and attractive bungalows, there are several streets of them and the place has spread over a large area. Like most places where business Is steady, good and improving, business houses are incroaching already on the resi- dence streets. This has brought about the opening up of the new residence section land identically like the southside of Birmingham. Great hills that shadow the town, giving sweep ing views in many directions of the terraine for 10 to 30 miles, are being embellished with winding avenues, grades are being filled and beside them crews of working men are building new homes for those who are closing out their old places for business property and establishing new homes in the Tarrant City high lands.
 For one stretch of half-mile the lots were sold as fast as the survey ors could lay them out. The town people followed the surveyors day after day, choosing their new home sites, buying adjacent property as investments or holding the additional lots for kinspeople and friends whom they wanted for neighbors.
 Upon the advice of Dr. Tarrant the land company did a strange thing. It offered the lots, any one of them or as many as a purchaser wanted, for first payment of S1 and the rest at the rate Cf 50 cents a week without interest.
 You see, explained pr. Tarrant," all of us out there are working peo- pie, most all of us draw weekly or monthly pay, and it was the pres ence of the first corners who made what we are now realizing possible. The company just decided to put home owning in the reach of any man CT woman in the community.
 "Of course, many bought just for the investment. and there are many right now who own their home lots because they bought several lots a month or so ago. They have sold their surplus lots at an advance"
 Within the last three months 500 lots in Tarrant City Heights have been sold, and business in the com mercial district, although the devel- oped property is quoted in real money now, is almost as brisk. With a number of stores of several sorts, movie theatre, several jobbing houses and the general run of busi- nesses to be found in a town, town property is beginning to cost.
 More than a dozen city blocks were surveyed, the streets laid off and the building lots defined on the high

Establishing bank with S25, 900 capital and having over s50,000 de- posits in month; putting up $SO,- 900. Masonic temple; building one, Sl5,O00; one, SS,000 church; laying out, mile or so of streets. and selling over 800 home sites in three months, are some of the late summer achieve- ments of Tarrant City.
 But that is getting too far ahead of the story. It was 20 years ago that a group of four men looking over the Birmingham district picked a tract of land where they found level stretches suitable for roadways lead ing into the city; where railway grades were easy, where there were great level prairie-like areas suitable for industrial plants, surrounded by wooded hills ideally suited for home building.
 Dr. Felix l. Tarrant, c. M. Green, George B. Tarrant and E. E. Lin thicum were those that became inter- ested in the greater edevelopmnt. pr. Fix l. TarraHt was first to see it's possibilities and interested the others. A good place to go hunting he found 1t in 1903.
 It was not so easy to interest others in those days, when automo- piles were almost unheard of and their offspring, good roads, were merely a topic of discussion.
 First Plant Started.
 Frankly, to accelerate interest in the growth of the land company formed to sell the acreage, a small plant was started to manufacture cast iron pipe. The company was captal- ized al $200.000. For several years it ran at a loss, finding it hard to break into the market. l was established in 1913 as the result of two-year campaign to sell the stock. Not until 1915 was the income brought up to and over costs, but from then on, under the guidance of MT. Linthicum the story was different Suffice 1t to say the capitalization is now mill lion dollars, all first stockholders have been repaid their original in- vestments, have made a handsome cash profit and are not interested in selling what they hold. More than TOO men are employed by the Nation al Cast Iron Pipe company now.
 Less than a year ago a million dol lar cement plant the Lehigh Portland Cement company was erected at Tar rant City and hundreds of men are employed there.
 Lots on the main street, that were sold originally for hundred or so dollars, are worth several thousand now and owners are not anxious to sell.
 Today Tarrant City is a continuous racket of hammering carpenters, new houses are going up on every side and the population, 5000 at the last count, is augmented with new families as fast as the new houses can be com pleted.
 Ground was broken last Wednes- day for $30,000 Masonic temple. Work is well under way on the $15,- 900 Southern Methodist church. Work is advancing rapidly on the $S,0G0 Northern Methodist church. The Bap- lists have completed a small church

Wild Longings
BY BERTON BRALEY

ID YIN D1AALI41
Though my conducts pretty gener-
ally flawless,
With some minor alterations now
and then,
There are times when I'm just ach-
ing to be lawless,
When I'd like to shock and daze
my fellow men
There are tendencies suffusing all
my system
Which would put me very swiftly
in a cell.
So If you will only listen l will
list 'em
For they may perhaps have trou-
bled you as well.
/ would like to take pie that's
made of custard
And heave it at a waiter-watch it
squirt;
I would like to mix some grape juice
and some mustard
And pour it down some pompous
Johnnys shirt:
I would like to turn the fire hose on
copper
And hear his curses rising, loud
and thick,
And I'd find a thrill delightfully."- i'm
proper
In smashing plate glass windows
with a brtcki
These are but few of fancies that
obsess me,
OF the longings that I'm yearning
TO obey,
And my conscience wouldn't worry
or distress me
Were l to do these lawless deeds
today;
But the courts might not be gener-
curly lenient
With this tendency to violence and
crime,
And term in Jail is highly incon-
venient,
So I'm on my good behavior all
the time!
