city alive and interesting and attrac-
tive to the outsider.
In Conclusion the speaker stated
that II we want Gardiner alive, pro-
gressive, prospecting and growing we
want young men. Wherever possible
we want Gardiner boys to come back
to Gardiner and if we want them and
and want them to stay, and issist in
the work of building Gardiner we
have got to offer them support which
will make them want to stay here,
and help them over the business of
the coordinated influences which they
have got to face in order to do bust :
ness. He urged that the older men
get from the young people their new
ideas and temper them with their
own business experience and Gardi-
ner will have combination which
will be hard to beat. This would
not mean that Gardiner people should
carry along or support the young
people beyond reason or disregard
the natural laws Of competition to
give them business. In closing he
declared that he knew of no organ
ization in Gardiner better fitted TO
offer such attractions as he had out
lined them than the Rotary club.
Mr.. Heselton's talk was one Of es-
pecial interest as it concerned mat
ter of local Importance and he re-
ceived hearty applause at its close.
The gusts of the meeting were Jack
Mahan and Maurice Reilly of the Au-
gusta Rotary club.

NEW YORK. February 2O.-Wide
fluctuations Of special stocks in thI.
weeks stock market reflected the play
of opposing speculative forces. but
tailed to disclose 4 definite price trend.
While the average Of 20 leading in
dustrial isaues mounted to another
new record high level. this was due
almost entirely to the spirited ad
vancAs in American Can and General
Electric. two Of the stocks used in the
compilation.
Public participation in the market
was on a reduced scale. This was due.
in part. to the attractiveness Of the
new investment offerings. which ex.
ceeded 316o, 900 900, and to commission
house and other advices suggesting
a waiting attitude until the course Of
Spring business became more clearly
defined.
Trade News Mixed.
The weeks trade news was rather
mixed in character. The demand for
steel was characterized As disappoint.
ing by some Of the steel trade reviews.
Car loadinxs In the week ended Feb.
ruary 6, the latest for which figures
are available, showed q slight falling
off from those OF the same week last
year. Favorable stock market factors
included the actual resumption Of
anthracite mining, special dividend
distributions by the Texas Gulf Sui
phur. Railway Steel Spring, Fair
banks Morse and E. I. DUPONT de
Nemours 4 Co., the announcement of
a decrease in crude oil production last
week and the decision of the Seaboard
Air Line to begin the construction of
new lines in Florida.
Call money was relatively firm. due
to the smaller volume Of interior funds

The increase of nearly $40, o00, 900 re.
ported by the Federal Reserve Bank
in the week ended february 10 also ap-

Weak Spots Uncovered.
Bear traders succeeded I'm uncover

viously had been marked up to levels
far beyond their intrinsic value. The
break in pevoe and Reynolds. which
started last SATURDAY, continued dur
ing the early part Of the week, with
the result that the stock fell from 1o4h
to 45s1 In a few days.
Publication of the annual report of
the Baldwin Locomotive Co., showing
less than 81 a share earned on the pre-
ferred stock, also inspired selling
which sent that issue down to a new
low level for the year. Other stocks
which were sold because Of relatively
poor 1925 earnings were American
Wooden common and preferred, Ma

persist that some Of the larger roads
