recited by Mrs. Allie Butler at one
of the first reunions of the Butler
family:
MOSES BUTLER.
Years ago some sturdy yeoman.
Moses Butler one was named,
Looking for a chance to settle,
To this part of Maine they came.
Down here at this point they landed,
Rutler's Point tits called since then,
Named for that brave old pioneer,
One Of those honest, sturdy men.
Grand old forests all around them,
Naught Of human life but they.
Fish and wild game then Astounding
Furnished food from day to day.
There they landed with their families,
A home here in the forest
They had gained by their stern will.
Little do we think at this day
OF the hardships they endured.
Days of toll, privation, planning,
These to them their homes ensured.
Still pursuing. never ceasing,
Ever trusting God above.
He who shields the homeless sparrow
Sheltered them with wings of love.
There they toiled, our worthy grand
sires,
Till old they grew, their locks got
few.
Many children came to bless them,
These in turn got married, too.
And these children, our forefathers,
Settled near, some far away:
And to them we now do homage,
On this our Butler day.
So welcome Buffers, one and ALL
From far and near, we bid you come,
To see new faces greet old friends,
Enjoy ourselves and then go home.

WHEAT PRICE HIGHER
AFTER EARLY SLUMP
Corn and Oats Rally With Other
Grain, But Provisions Turn
Easier Today.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. November 6-Wheat
advanced today after a downturn at
the start. Notice was taken that
December wheat here had become
nearly 10 cents a bushel lower than a
year ago, whereas European needs are
much greater. Opening unchanged to
y off, wheat underwent a moderate
general decline, but soon rose to we'll
above yesterdays finish. Corn and
oats rallied with wheat: corn, starting
q off to IS up, sagged all around and
then scored gains. Provisions were.
easy.
Reports of heavy rains in North
Argentina and of very cold weather
in the South tended to bring about
considerable buying today in the
wheat market here. InaSmuch as cut
ting of new wheat has begun in
Northern Argentina, the rains were
suggestive Of a wet harvest. Further
South, the wheat fields require sea
sonable temperatures adapted to rip
ening the grain.
Predictions were current today that
Mondays figures on world shipments
of wheat for the week will prove to
be considerably less than the total a
week ago. In this connection word
Of dwindling exports from Galveston
received a good deal of attention. 1t
was pointed OIL that the outgo of
wheat from that port has shown
constant falling off in volume since
July, that enga gements for November
are very light, and that not a single
engagement has been made yet for
December.

Income Tax Rebate News
and Brokers' Loans Figure
Big Factors in Trading.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 6.-The
market for today's two-hour trading
had two news items of some i'm
portance before it. One was the an
nouncement that the President would
recommend a rebate Of from 10 to Il
per cent in 1925 income taxes. The
other was the statement of brokerage
loans for the month of October put
out by the Stock Exchange.
The statement showed q decrease
of nearly S27,000,000, whereas the
Federal Reserve figures had made 1t
out that loans had come down S210.-

vergence has appeared at any time

ings began to he printed. 1t raised
tho question whether figures of this
sort are of any value where they are
not computed on the same basis.
The Federal Reserve includes in its
compilation syndicate borrowings
and it was the paying off of these
which, as it now appears, was main
ly responsible for the $2l0,000.00O
shrinkage in the loan account. wan
street had laid much stress upon the
supposed heavy liquidation of stock
exchange credit as improving the
general position. The discovery that
brokerage loans on the ordinary col
lateral had only really come down
$27. 500, 900 came as a good deal OF
q shock.
Still the upward drift in good
part of the list waa maintained
Steel shares most ~ the time were

Kennecott and Nevada consolidated

expectation of favorah'v dividend

Oil shares were little hanged.
Further selling of General Motors
was expressive of misgivings regard
ing next weeks action on the extra
dividend. Some fresh pressure occur
red against Mack Trucks and against
chandler Cleveland Motor.
American Can was stronger and
Radio Corporation was steady. The
feature among the rails was Atchison,
which jumped nearly points to the

part of the world and were being
employed in such a way as to make
this Nation the workshop of the
world.
There has never been a tine." said
the steel magnate, when l felt 30
optimistic about our great industrial
