KILLED BY TRACTOR

Prentice Maxson, "a son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. E. Maxson was crushed to
death this morning when tractor
which he was driving onto truck
fell backward to the ground, pinning
him beneath the weight of nearly two
tons. Death was almost instantaneous
Maxsoh was driving the heavy trac-
tor up on heavy timbers placed to
form a runaway from the ground to
the truck in the alley at the side of
the Buick garage. Just as the big ma
chine was tipping toward the truck
something let go, and the tractor was
tipped back and fell. He had no
chance to extricate himself. Seated in
the seat of the machine, he was crush
ed badly about the chest, and lived
but a short time. Three men among
them the boys father, lifted the ma
chine enough to move him and he was
pulled free of the tractor, but the
death injury had been inflicted.

Eoreign Bonds
Federal Reserve Board has reported.

Federal Reserve Board has reported.
The volume of new bills was larger
than for any earlier month this
year and exceeded the total sor the
same period in 1923. Fluctuations
in money rates caused frequent
changes in dealers rates and the
demand for bills was irregular.
Total sales did not increase to
the same extent as the supply and
dealers aggregate portfolios at the
end of the period were 80 per cent
heavier than a month earlier. In
the middle of September call money
was plentiful and the demand for
bills from banks in the financial
centers was good, but near the close
of the month the money market be-
came firmer and the demand for
acceptances fell off, while the sup
ply continued to increase.
Early in October dealers rates
were advanced and the demand
showed some improvement, but it
was not sufficient to absorb the in.
creased supply and dealers aggre-
gate portfolios increased. Banks
were the principal purchasers In
September, but with a larger vol.
ume of bills in October and a firmer
money market offerings by dealers
and banks to the Federal Reserve
banks increased.
Cotton, grain, sugar, silks, hides,
leather and provisions were the
principal commodities against which
bills were drawn, but acceptanceS
against cotton and grain were In
largest volume.
