INVESTORS HAVE
AMPLE FUNDS
By RICHARD HATTON

By RICHARD HATTON
In surveying the financial field
of the country as it enters the
second half of 1926 one factor stands
out above all others It is that
there are ample funds for invest
ment and that capital is seeking
profitable employment rather than
remaining dormant In the local
market there is wide opportunity
for investment in sound and safe
securities bearing healthy interest
and Il is evident that the demands
of capital for employment can be
met,
Speaking of the generally sound
market for good bonds the current
bulletin OF the National City Com
pany says: 1.-THE recent retirement
of United States Government GER
tificates, without refinancing, fur
nishes visible evidence of the con-
tinued shrinkage in our national
debt which viii gradually create "a
scarcity value for Government Sc
curities. It seems reasonable to con-
cIude that the flow of released
funds from Government issues 20
other securities should tend to place
sound investments generally on per-
manently higher price and lower
yield levels
Investment Funds Abundant
'aThe abundance Of funds for long
dime investment" says the National
city Company, ethe unprecedented
Areation Of new wealth, the Iessened
activity in some speculative fields
and diversion of funds to more con-
sentative channels, the prospect OF
only a fair volume OF new issues,
and gradual release of funds from
Government obligations are all fac
tors making for a continuance OF
good market for conservative
bonds"
Upon the subject Of the general
financial condition the Guaranty
Trust Company says: The general
financial situation is encoura gfng.
The position of the banks is not
strilingly different from what 1t
was q year ago. Time deposits
have continued to mount, the pres
emit total being $416. 100000 above
that of year ago. Rediscounts
and borrowings from the Federal
Reserve banks are SIS, 100000 less
than at this time last year.
Commentators Agree
Many other commentators upon
finance and trade conditions who
have issued statements covering
general and specific conditions,
foreign debts, domestic indebted
ness, the state of the wholesale
trade, retail trade, manufacturing
and employment are united in find
ing our present financial condition
absolutely sound with no apparent
prospect Of the appearance OF any
disturbing factors between the
present and the end of the year.
Again referring to the Guaranty
Trust Company's review it is noted
that ''the record Of American trade
and industry for the half year win
be found to campare favorably with
that Of any similar period in his
tory"

". 5. WARD AGAIN
 REPORTED MISSING
Auto Owned by Baking Mag
 Iate'S Son Found Demolished

Trenton, x, J., May 10 LP) - Walter s. Ward. president of the Electruck corporation and son of George s. Ward. wealthy New York baking magnate, was missing today for a second time,
 His brother. Ralph D. Ward, yes terday asked Trenton and New York police to search for him after dis covery of his damaged automobile near the Pennsylvania station here.
 Walter Ward disappeared in 1922, after the killing of Clarence w. Peters, g sailor. He was found in Baltimore at the Bowie race track. He vas tried fror the murder of Peters and acquitted after two trials on a plea Of self defense. Peters, he claimed, had demanded 375,ooo blackmau.
 Ward was last seen May 5, when he left for Baltimore on a business trip in an automobile. Thursday the automobile was found here with the windshield smashed and a large rock on the front seat. Police traced is ownership by the license, and by papers on the floor Of the car.
 When the discovery Of the car was first reported 10 him Saturday, Ralph denied that his brother was missing. Tn car, he said, had been stolen. Al Waiter Wards apartment maid said He just stepped out
 Ralph Ward told police yesterday he thought his brother was a victim of foul play. Search of his usual haunts had revealed no trace of him. Mrs. Walter Ward was in her New York apartment, too ill to see any one. Police say there was no blood in the car or other evidence of foul play.
 Thomas A. Downe''. secretary and treasurer Of the Electruck corpora tion. came 10 Trenton yesterday to aid police. He said Ward had tela- phoned from Baltimore Wednesday he was about to return to New York bv automobile.
 Matthias L. Daiger, an official of the Maryland Jockey club and an acquaintance of the Wards, has been asked 10 look for him during the races at the PimHco tracks in Baltj- more. Mir. paiger was asked to make the search last night in tele- phone call from New York, but the caller did not reveal his identity. A check of hotels in Baltimore showed Ward was not registered there.

FINE OLD COLONIAL
 HOUSE IS DESTROYED
Andrews Homestead in Town oi Weston Built in Prc-kcNolu-
 tiOnary Days

Weston, Conn, May 10 P>-old when Connecticut was a colony sub iect to the British crown and the Revolutionary war was years in the future, an old house oil the West port- Georgetown road in Weston, owned by the family of Orlando An drews for several centuries, and of fine type of early colonial archltec- ture, was destroyed by fire yesler- day afternoon.
 BuiIt early in the first decade Of inc 18th century, the house has withstood the rayages of hundreds of years while around 1t ne" civilization came into being, it has been the home of many generations of one old American family, only to be razed within an hour by flames ot unknown origin.
 For the last | years, the ancient Andrews homstead has not been tenanted. and was used as repair shop by Orlando Andrews of Weston. It contained nothing of value, save @ few tools.
 Residents In the ncighborhood scented smoke today and upon in vestigation, discovered the house burning. A still alarm was sent to Westport, and members of the vigilante hose company responded When a bell alarm was sounded, the Compo engine company and the Pioneer hook and ladder company of Westport, answered, but these two companies first took a wrong road and were late in arriving.
 The flames, however had gained too great headway and water ia. cilities were too inadequate and re. mote. to make it worth while fol fremen even to attempt to stay theil progress.

RESULTS OF FIRE
PREVENTION WEEK

In order to ascertain the practical
effect of the Fire Prevention week OBJ
servance upon fire losses throughout
the country the National Board of
Fire Underwriters sent question
naire to the fire chiefs of all the
cities with populations of 10000 and
upwards. The returns from 279 cit
les show that during Fire Prevention
Week, 80 municipalities, or % pc-
cent, suffered no fire loss what yer,
and that during the following waek
81 escaped loss by burning, the Zig
ures covering all buildings and con-
tents, but not automobile fires occur-
ring in the open. All of the eighty
cities, jointly, had an average week
" fire loss in 1925 of $173,646.
In addition there were 35 cities
with losses amounting to not more
than $25 and % others which re-
ported that no more than $50 worth
of property had succumbed to flames.
These favorable records show the
results of the educational campaigns
that were staged by the fire chiefs,
chambers of commerce, local agents,
associations and other bodies.
What would the result be If the
same >carefulness were exercised the
year round?
The Coconino sun., 1926-12-31
Address by p j. Moran, President
Chamber of Commerce, at Ro-
tary Club, December IA, 1926


The Flagstaff Chamber of Com
merce has been in existence for a
great many years but for some time
prior to February, 1924, it had not
been functioning in an altogether
suitable manner While the business
men of Flagstaff, and the people of
the town generally had the Cham
Der of Commerce spirit there seemed
to be some reason why a true coop
erative spirit was not present. The
great need for advertising Flagstaff
and its wondarful surrounding coun-
try had been apparent to all for
some time, but efforts to accomplish
the proper advertising of our coun-
try did not meet with great deal Of
success by the then existing Cham
Der of Commerce.
So, in February, 1924, and solely
for the purpose of assisting the
Chamber of Commerce, a few of the
younger business men of the town,
Ito be exact, eight in number) band
ed themselves under the name Of the
Junior Chamber of Commerce"
Fred Browning was elected presi-
dent, DR.. A. j. Mackey, vice presi-
dent and Orinn Compton, secretary.
They functioned on what money
they were able to raise from their
membership in the way of dues, and
without assistance from the business
men of the town, or from the city or
county government until later in the
year. They divided the correspon-
dence and other work up among
themselves, which work at times was
really burdensome on them, due to
the fact that their ordinary duties
were demanding most of their time.
Of these eight members only three
of them owned their own business,
five were employees of others whom
they felt really should belong and
render some service as active mem
bers of a Chamber of Commerce.
These eight men put their shoul-
ders to the wheel to do everything
they possibly could in assisting the
Chamber of Commerce, and in fur
thering the interests of the town.
Flagstaff up to that time had never
been advertised to any extent, par
ticularly in the way of getting out
pamphlets or literature on this Sec
ton. 1t remained for the officers and
members of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce to have published the first
booklet Of Flagstaff and it's sur
roundings in the latter part of 1924.
The printing and publishing OF this
booklet cost them in the neighborhood
of $500 which they managed to raise
after considerable work. They pub
lished a second booklet in 1925 which
booklet has taken care OF our needs
until the present time. Our new book
let, which will be published early IN
1927, is now being prepared and will
be ready for the printer very soon.
The tourist problem then demanded
their attention when they found that
our city park was not being properly
looked after and that the tourists

FIR. r. DericheH1Ont
Back From Europe

Father Derichemont, after spending
a wear in France, returned Monday
to Holbrook, according to Maurice
Barth, who saw and had dinner with
him at that place Tuesday, Father
Derichemont has been assigned 70
the Holbrook pastorate temporarily,
but it is the belief that he soon will
be returned to his old post in Apache
county-St. Johns, Concho, and
Springerville. That would be eminent
ly satisfactory to the people of these
towns, who hold the good padre in
the highest regard and have longed
for him and urged him to return.
That he has returned is due in part
to the fact that the climate in France
did not restore his health as ne had
anticipated it would, and he concluded
that he would be better off in the
salubrious climate of Arizona. He is
thrice welcome, as he will discover
when he gets up here among his old
friends.-St. Johns Observer.
