The credit of "Main Street" is
good on Main Street.
This was illustrated in striking
manner Wednesday afternoon when
Sank Centres Certificates of Indebt-
edness for $4,000 to pay for the
paving were offered for sale by the
City Council.
There were two active bidders for
these securities, and one on-looker
from the outside, who did not be-
come an active participant.
The First National Bank was one
of the bidders. The other was the
First State Bank and the Merchants
National Bank putting in a joint
bid.
These certificates of Indebtedness
begin to fall due Dec. 1, 1925 and
reach full maturity Dec. 1, 1898.
They have the con or before" priv
ilege, and it is quite likely that fully
one-third will be paid by the tax
payers as soon as the paving is COM
pleted, saving them six per cent int
crest, which the taxpayers will be
compelled to pay.
Both bidders had submitted sealed
bids, but when the Council convened,
with the consent of the bidders, it
was decided to sell the Certificates
of Indebtedness at auction.
The first bid was for 5 ". The
rate was gradually worn down, how
ever, until 4 " had been reached.

Verne Stout players featuring Ruth
Whitworth Thursday evening, October
9 in ''The Right Road" a four act
comedy full of joy gasps, laughs,
bowls, and cheers; love, tears and
thrills.
"The Right Road is the story of

For either of the above numbers
you would gladly pay the price of a

Following out the suggestion made
in the Herald a few weeks ago, the
completion of the paving of "Main
Street., Sank Centre will be proper
ly celebrated.
Community Day" will be inauger-
.ated in Sank Centre at the opening
of the new pavement of Main and
Third streets.
The day, as the name indicates, is
a civic proposition and designed to
bring distinct message of "Sauk
Centre pride'' to the citizens of tie
city, to bring them to clearer un-
derstanding of their duties as citizens
as we'll as to bring to them greater
interest in the affairs of the city, and
the things that are done to make
Sank Centre better home city. .
The opening Of the pavement will
take place on this day, and such an
event merits some special celebra-
ton.
The program is fostered by the
Community Club and in all probable
ity this organization may secure the
services of the famous "civic mission
airy" Dan E. Weigle, to help put the
proposition across with proper en-
phasis.
Mr.. Weigle, since leaving the helm
of the st. Paul Chamber of Com
merce, has spent almost all of his
time in assisting communities to build
up Community spirit" He is a
gifted orator, and knows the way or
ways necessary in order to bring out
in each community those qualities
necessary for absolute cooperation.
Several years ago he appeared here
for talks and because of the
impression he made at that time
he will be invited here on "Commun-
|ity Day."
A definite program has not been
worked out, as yet, but some of the
features to be arranged for can be
mentioned at this time.
The stores and other places of bus
mess will put on special sales and
bargains. Store windows will be

PAVING PROGRESSING

The probabilities are that the lay
ing of concrete for Sank Centres
new paving system will be completed

formed that the laying of the black
top or asphalt will start at the under
ground G. N. crossing Monday morn
ing and that with good weather this
will be completed in ten days. AS
soon as the ashphalt is put on and
finished the street will be ready for

DEPRESSED
TONE
Firmer Money Rates and
Liquidation Have Adverse
Influence During Week
BY MUNROE ROBERTS,

respondent.
NEW YORK, Aug. ga firmer
tendency in money rates and an
increase in Liberty bond liquidation
by financial institutions served to
depress the bond market this week.
The removal of institutional buy.
ers from the market was an ad-
verse influence on high grade bonds,
while uneasiness with respect to
corporate financing and profit-tak
ing took the edge off the market
for second grade or speculative rails
and industrials, Wilson & Co. In
the industrial and st. Paul in the
rails were the most prominent ex-
amples Of weakness as related TO
new corporate financing.
Liberty bonds receded to slight
ly lower price plane as reports
reached the market Of heavy offer
ings by banking institutions in
preparation for more extended COM
mercial borrowing in the first part
Of September. The rise In bankers
acceptance rates was the first indl-
cation of the stronger trend in
money rates, an augury of better
times for the business Of the coun.
try.
Active and bond markets are not
the most desirable thing for the
country as q whole, since they en-
phasize the fact that bank funds,
which ought to be employed in
commercial and industrial pursuits,
are scrambling for investment bonds
and competing with strictly invest
ment funds.
Liberty bonds and new treasury
bonds were fractionally lower at the
end of the week; foreign govern.
ment bonds were steady, but lacked
the spectacular influence which sent
them to higher place levels in thu
two preceding weeks; prime indus
trials and rails firm; speculative in
dustrials and rails, except in isolated.
sections Of the list, steady.
New bonds offerings by local bank
ing syndicates this week aggregated
SAT, ZOO, 900, of which about half were
tax exempt State and municipal
bonds. New industrials amounted to
$12,000s000, rails $4,000 and pub
lie utilities 100000. Public offer
ing will be made on Monday Of an
issue of $20,000,O00 province of
Ontario twenty-year Az per cert

National Bank Of New York.

IN CLOSING

Industrial and Railroad Shares
Drop As Selling Orders
Flood Market

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Indus.
trial and railroad stocks worked
down to lower price level in the
short session Of the stock market
today as offerings continued to
flood the market in extension Of
the selling movement which started
In the last hour on Friday.
Fractional losses at the opening
OF the market were gradually ex-
tended as the session proceeded, and
only in exceptional cases, principally
In the rails, were the market
leaders able to stem the tide. At
the end Of the first hour stocks
like American Can, Cast Iron Pipe,
Baldwin, Atlantic Refining and
New York Central were depressed
about a point on the average, after
which there were signs OF another
rally in. the making.
Industrial reports at the week
end and economic surveys by prom
inent authorities were favorable,
and sentiment in the market place
was improved rather than de-
pressed by the furry in the stock
market which concluded yesterdays
active session.
It was generally accepted as a
corrective movement in a market
that has been moving forward quite
briskly Of late. The money market
is now being watched for additional
signs OF hardening. and while not
depriving the stock market Of neces-
sary funds, such q development
would be an evidence that the long
heralded business revival is at last
within hailing distance.
Reactionary trends were also evil
dent in the bond, grain, and cotton
markets, though in each Of these
declines were moderate and based
on special influence. Cotton was
hesitant, on account Of the prOx-
unity Of the Governments report
at noon, the market closing fifteen
minutes earlier in order TO avoid
confusion.
Prominent oil companies an.
uounced new cuts were ordered in
crude oil.
The motor stocks were offered in
large volume today and declines
took place in stocks which were
prominent in the last bull move
ment. Chandler sold today at 45%
against 50H earlier in the week;
Mack Trucks at eek showed a loss
Of about six points from Wednesday
and White Motors at SO was down
to three. Coppers dropped some of
their recent gains as stocks like
Kennecott, Anaconda and Chile
were pressed for sale and high
priced industrials received further
attention from the bears and profit
taking long traders. Oil stocks were
unusually inactive, there being ap-
parently few stocks in this group
for sale at the present price level.
Atlantic Refining was active and
fairly strong and Standard Oils
showed a disposition to win back
part Of yesterdays losses.
Buying of st. Paul preferred fea-
tured the rails. At 26 this stock
has rallied nearly 2 points from
Wednesdays low. Rumors are
afloat that st. Paul stock is being
bought for the Van Sweringen in
terests on the prospect of tying this
road up with others to form a
gigantic transcontinental system.
It was also said that the roads
bankers would meet here next week
to consider the vexing question of
