B. & o. SCORES VICTORY
IN REPORT ON MERGER

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November 15.-The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
scored an importan victory by the rec
ommendation Of Examiner Burnside
Of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railroad be permitted to absorb
the Lehigh and New England.
Inclusion of this property was es-
sential to the Baltimore and Ohio in
forming its Eastern system, Of which
1t is planned to make the Reading a
part. The Pennsylvania Railroad
strenuously opposed the acquisition of
the Lehigh and New England. which
provides one of the two main gate
ways to New England.
Without it's ownership through the
Reading, which in turn Is controlled
by the Baltimore and Ohio, the latter
would have been at a decided disad-
vantage in competing with the Penn
sylvania.
If the commission approves the
finding of it's examiner, which rail-
road officials say is likely. according
to custom, the path will have been
cleared for the inclusion Of the Read
ing in the Baltimore and Ohio system,
it is said.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Good News "DiscOunted."

Another phrase constantly used in
accounts of day-to-day operations in
the stock market is that this or that
particular stock has "discounted" this
or that piece of good or bad news.
Let us see just what this means.
Take the case of favorable an
nouncement first-that of higher
dividend. Now, the uninitiated would
naturally suppose that when the x. Y.
z. Steel Co. increased it's dividend from
5 to 6 per cent there would be an i'm
mediate advance in the market price
of x. Y. z. Steel shares. But that
does not follow and not uncommonly
x. Y. z. stock goes down instead Of
up after the news is out. Then the
blase financial writer says that K. Y.
z. shares had discounted" the in
creased dividend.
What had happened was this:
Spectators and insiders guessing or
knowing that the dividend was to be
raised had been buying the stock for
long time, weeks or even months
past, and under their buying orders
the market price had gone up to about
the point they considered the expected
higher rate would warrant. Now,
these buyers had no intention of hold
ing the stock for investment. All they
wanted to do was 20 profit by their
information. II they had waited to
purchase until the dividend announce
ment had been made there would have
been no profit.
That Is speculation, the word mean.
ing a peering into the future. But
when the buyers came to sell there
was no large body of genuine invest
ors standing around waiting to take
the stock Off the hands of the specu-
lators. Investors are more wary than
that, Notwithstanding their reputation.
They won't buy x. Y. z. Steel at the
new high price until they have some
assurance that the new dividend rate
is permanent. But the spectators
must have their profits. and SO they
sell to whomever will buy and at con-
cessions If necessary. The stock goes
down instead of up. 1t had dis
counted" the good news.

REPORT SUGGESTS
HIGH TURKEY PRICE
Local Dealers Do Not AntiCi-

Holiday Birds.

A survey Of the condition Of the
turkey market by Agriculture Depart
ment officials has resulted in the sub
mission Of a report suggesting high
price for turkeys during the Christ
mas and nksgiving holiday sea-
son this year.
1t is shown by the reports that
turkeys in storage the first of this
month totaled 1,761, 900 pounds, while
the amount a year ago was 3,544,OOO
pounds.
Local dealers this morning said
they did not anticipate a cheap mar
ket the coming Thanksgiving holiday
season, suggesting a probable retail
market of about 55 or 60 cents.
Prices Are Uncertain.
There is no certainty, however,
about the prices that will prevail.
dealers stated. the prices depending
entirely upon the question of demand
and supply, weather conditions also
figuring in the question to a consid-
cradle extent.
Numerous shipments of live tur-
keys from the surrounding country
were received by local dealers this
morning. 1t is yet too early for
dressed stock to be shipped, dealers
expecting the first of the latter stock
will be received the latter part of
the week if weather conditions are
such that the turkeys will not spoil
in transit.
Live turkeys were quoted at 80 and
3S cents this morning, dressed stock
bringing 40 and AZ cents. Prices or

One More Question.

The best reporter thinks of an ad-
ditional question to ask his news
source to develop a surplus of inter-
esting detail over what other news
gatherers are satisfied with.
The good reporter rides 80 per cent
Of the distance with the star reporter
The latter goes only one station, or
10 per cent, further.
The truism is particularly applica-
BILE to the field of selling. Every sales
man is confronted with two contra
dictory facts: First, the apathy Of
every buyer, and, second, the huge
volume Of merchandise and services
that are actually sold each year. The
poor salesman believes the excuses
which the prospect gives for failing
to place an order. The star salesman
regards such pretexts as mere hur-
dies to be surmounted. He does not
relinquish his campaign until he or
some one else gets the order.
The effect Of selling appeal is cum
ulative. No intelligent effort is
wholly wasted. Every idea implanted
ultimately bears fruit. Sometimes the
first four insurance agents who call
on a prospect give him the necessary
preliminary education to place him in
the buying mood.

Resistance Disappears.

ALI of a sudden his resistance dis
appears, and the fifth agent who
merely suggests insurance gets the
order. The fifth was lucky, cashing
in on the investment in energy and
time of the other four, who were not
persistent enough to reap the bene-
fits themselves. What seemed to be
apathy on the part of the buyer may
have been merely a deadlock between
arguments to buy and arguments not
to buy. Only a slight additional push
was necessary to swing his decision.
In this light, business becomes a
great cooperative game. Advertisers
and statesmen are perpetually unwit-
tingly selling merchandise and serv-
ices for their competitors as well as
for themselves. The wiser business
heads are recognizing this fact. and
are getting together with their rivals
in collective advertising campaigns to
tout the general product of the whole
industry. Recent examples Of this
have been seen in the advertising of
the copper and brass and the cement
industry. The cotton trade. which has
always been highly individualistic and
disorganized. is lining up for this pur-
pose in a newly formed cotton insti-
tute.
The meaning of all of this to the
individual is that the value of SELF
confidence is that it supplies the
energy and the win necessary to give
the extra push that brings success.

JURORS ENLIVEN TRIAL
BY QUIZZING WITNESS
Question of Actual Date of Trans
fer of Stock Expected to Have
Bearing on Case.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 13.--
Richard Merton. German capitalist,
and star witness for the Government
in the trial of former Attorney Cen
eral H. M. Daugherty and Thomas w.
Miller, former alien property custo-
dian, testified today that he had no
knowledge of split up of SAL
600 fee between the accused and
John T. King, former Connecticut
national committeeman.
Merton paid this amount to King,
he said, as a fee for recovering
the $1,000, 900 assets of the American
Metals Co.. from the alien property
custodian.
The company was German owned
and was seized during the war. The
$7,O00,000 was turned over to the
Societie Suisse, allegedly neutral or
ganization, but contended by the gov
ernment to be German controlled.
Merton said he saw King upon his
arrival in New York rather than
lawyers because he had a distrust for
"unscrupulous' lawyers who were
then flooding Germany with offers to
regain seized property for fee.
Merton also testified that he told Col.
Miller at their first meeting that the
Societie Suisse was owned by the
Swiss and that he tried to divert his

PORTLAND, Me, September 13.-
Maine today is holding it's biennial
State election-the traditional politi-
cal barometer.
Usually the amount of the Republi-
can plurality for governor furnishes
much argument as to whether 1t fore

A comparatively light vote was pre-
dicted. Party leaders conceded the
total ballots probably would be far be-
low the record set two years ago
when Ralph o. Brewster, Republican,
was elected governor by $4,000.
A governor, State auditor, four Rep
resentativeS, a Legislature and county
officers must be chosen today.
Brewster, seeking reelection, and
Mayor Ernest L. Mclean of Augusta,
Democratic nominee, have taken
their campaigns into every part Of
the State. Republican leaders claim

If the Republican lead were half that
figure.
Four incumbent Republicans are
seeking return to the House OF Rep

lace H. White of Lewiston has been
given vigorous opposition by Charles
M. Starbird of Auburn.
