NEW YORK, May 2.-Referring to

to the fact that they show that at the

Developments Abroad Most
important influences in In

By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, May 2.-Developments
abroad were among the most i'm
portant influences in the investment
market this week.
The two happenings of greatest sig
niticance We're. Of course, the German
election. with the consequent reaction
upon the French attitude. and the
restoration of the gold standard in
Great Britain.
Much Merger Talk.
In the domestic field railroad con-
solidation plans have again come TO
the front. Spectators do not await
official announcement of merger be-
fore rushing in to accumulate securi-
ties of the roads involved. Nor do
they put any stress upon earnings OF
intrinsic values. 1t is enough for their
purpose that the report should be
spread abroad that one of the smaller
carriers is to be taken over by some
large system. AT once the stocks of
the smaller road, and bonds, too, in
some cases, are eagerly bid for. This
may be entirely proper from specu-
lative standpoint, but it is not sound
investment practice.
There are economies TO be effected
by consultations, and the credit Of a
small, weak road is enhanced when
il is taken under the protection of
some larger and stronger one. The
trouble is that these economies take
time to put into effect and after the
first burst of enthusiasm there is apt
TO be a sharp market reaction IN the
securities in question. The only safe
rule for the investor 10 follow is TO
buy securities on their own merit and
not upon guarantees or upon the
benefits anticipated from combina-
tionS.
Big Week for L. S. Issues.
The general market continues its
upward trend. second and middle
grade obligations as we'll as those of
the first rank. Four of the United
States Government obligations have
made new high records for the year
this week and the so-called savings

slowly creeping forward. In the higher
yielding, but still sound investment

ent accumulation. The average price,
investment and speculative combined.
is not yet back to the high of F'ebru-
ary, but 1t is very close to 1t.
There has been particular inquiry

modify prices are of more benefit to
this industry than TO any other.

Waldo County in
Attempt to Remove
Scrub or Grade Sires

Especial to the Kennebec JournaD
Belfast. Sept. Sat the meeting
of the Waldo County dairy project
leaders held this afternoon in the
county court house. Ralph Hayford,
county leader. presided and county
agent Norman S. Donahue, outlined
the methods for making a survey of
the Waldo county dairy sires to de-
termine what percentage is pure
bred. A pure bull campaign, to COW
err two or three years period is to be
started in Waldo county. An en-
deavor will be made to eliminate the
40 percent of scrub or grade sires.
In a recent rough survey it was
learned that this is about the per-
centage OF scrubs in the county. In
the entire state the percentage of
scrub sires is about 46.
In order to increase the milk pro-
duction and thus decrease the cost
per pound, all scrub sires will be re-
placed by pure bred and in order to
do this every project leader will have
to do his part The leaders present
today agreed to go back to their
own communities and hold meetings
in which to make surveys and re-
port at a subsequent meeting. At the
present time the average number of
pounds of milk per COW year is
1924, while in the countries of Nor
way and Sweden where the sires are
all pure bred, the production is more
than double that amount. r. F.
Talbot, the dairy specialist from the
experiment station at Orono. was
present at today's meeting and out
lined the ADVANTAGES of the pure
bull campaign. The leaders were
much interested.

z CUT UP IN BLOODY
FRACAS OF HORSE
JOCKEYS IN WINDSOR

Especial to the Kennebec Journal)
Windsor, Sept. S.-One man was
stretched out unconscious and blood
flowed freely in a free-for-all brawl
between horse traders on the jockey
ground just north of Windsor Fair
grounds, early Tuesday evening, and
Sheriff Henry +. Cummings and a
formidable force of his deputies
were called to the scene, with the
result that two bloody men were
singled out of the gang and after
their wounds, decorations and bruises
had been dressed by a hastily sum-
mon6d physician, were taken to the
county Jail to await arraignment in
the morning, when they will be
given an opportunity to explain the
ARRAY.
"Gipsy" Mike Blair, Jr., was the
more seriously cut up of the two,
and DIR. j. Z. Odiorne of ,Cooper's
Mills took six stitches in four-inch
cut in the back of the mans neck
and head. Mike also had other abra-
sions and evidences of combat and
when taken to Augusta, claimed that
he had lost a considerable sum Of
money.
The other man who figured prom
as Dick Mum of Gardiner, when
the clotted blood had been washed
from his face and head. Mum
claims that he was assaulted and
knocked unconscious just as he was
about to receive $15 in cash from
the hands of "Gipsy Nike" as boot"
in a swap Of horses.
Liquor undoubtedly figured in the
affair and besides the two SCARED
jockeys, the sheriffs rounded up and
took to the county Jail four others

hanging around the jockey ground

no clear or coherent recital of just
what transpired could be obtained.
The superintendent of the grounds
was called to the section outside the
enclosure which is frequented by
jockeys, at about 8 o'clock in the
evening, and there found the blood
smeared Mike, Jr., unconscious. and
Mum badly battered. The county
officials were at once summoned and
the general cleanup followed.
The officers found pocket knife.
blood stained and opened, and it was
also evident that clubs and rocks
had been used freely by the COM
battants. In face of Munn's declara-
ton that he was the first victim OF
the brawl it was not apparent how
Gypsy Mike got so badly beaten up.
but it was very self-evident that the
battle had ragged fast and furious for
time.

GRAPHIC STORY

the native sons of Noble County to-
day. He is a little, erizzied farmer
who raises turkeys, geese and some
crops on farm near Sharon. but
he is the man who grabbed the
