RAILS AGAIN ARE
 MARKET LEADERS
Stock Prices Today Resume Up-
 ward Movement

New York. Sept. g P-stock prices resumed their upward move ment today after an early period of hesitation. Retention of the f per cent rediscount rate by the Boston Federal Reserve bank and the large supply of funds available for call loans at the renewal rate of 5 Der cent helped to restore speculative confidence, which was shaken yester- day by rumors of a further stiffen- ing of money rates.
 Rails again came to the forefront Of the advance. Chesapeake and Ohio was the individual feature in that group, duplicating its record high price for all time despite the fact that the quarterly dividend was deducted from the price of stock only a day or two ago. Buying of this issue was based on the an- nouncement of minority interests that the recent estimate of earnings by President Harahan was very con- servative and that the full year will disclose about S25 a share earned on the common stock.
 Revival of activity and strength in the sugar shares, based on improved trade prospects, was one of the fea- lures of the industrial section. Some of the low priced motors turned heavy on predictions that earnings would not come up to earlier expec- tations but General Motors again headed upward on strong buying support. Oils were sluggish as a re- suit of the sharp increase in crude oil production last week, and some of the steels also were rather back ward despite the fact that mill op- erations were being maintained at an unusually high rate.
 Chain store issues made belated response to reports of steadily ex- banding sales and earnings, and good buying also developed in a number of silk, food, amusement and mer- chandising shares. Special strength of radio corporation was character iZed as the usual window dressing" preparatory to the opening of the radio convention here next week.

large proportion of her debt for purely commercial, as distinct from war, purposes.
 The debate opened on the Franco British debt settlement, but it quick ly turned to the United States after Mir. Churchill had made reference to MT. Mellon. The American secre- tary of the treasury was reported to have declared that the money bor- rowed by Great Britain was to meet commercial obligations maturing in America, to furnish India with sil- ver to buy food to resell to the civil ian population in order to maintain exchange MT. Mellon also was re- ported to have said that American loans were obtained not so much to provide war supplies as to provide sterling for home and foreign needs and to save England from borrowing from her own people.
 Hopes He's Misquoted.
 The chancellor said that so serious was this misapprehension that it made him almost doubt the authen- ticity of the words MT. Mellon was quoted as using. He added that Great Britain, like all the other al- lies, spent vast sums in the United States on food. as well as on mu- nitions. All loans to the allies were specifically limited by congress to

the prosecution of the war and the United States treasury required and obtained full justification for every cent loaned.
 Mir. Churchill said with regard to the silver loan for India that it was treated quite separately from the war debt and fully repaid in 1925.
 There has been a great deal of resentment and ill feeling regarding this debt" the chancellor added, and it is very important that this resentment shall not be increased by any misunderstanding of the actual facts of the situation"
 The chancellor's remarks were applauded from the ministerial benches.
 In the course of the debate Hil- ton Young. one of the leading lib- erals who recently joined the con- servative party, protested against the idea of dealing with the debts along purely commercial lines. He said American credits were required

MAXIM BUMPER IS
 FIRE BOARD'S PICK
Three Ballots Taken Before Sc,
 lection Is Made

Breaking a deadlock which exist ed until the third ballot, the board of fire commissioners, at a meeting last evening, voted to recommend 10 the common council. the purchase of a Maxim 750-gallon triple con- bination bumper to be placed in the new No. fire station now being erected on Stanley street.
 The first ballot was a tie, Com missioners Timothy Shanahan and Michael King favoring the Maxim and Chairman Cornelius J. Dehm and Commissioner John Mikalauskas supporting the American LaFrance. This state of affairs existed until the third ballot, when Chairman Dehm shifted his vote, breaking the dead lock. The cost of the Maxim, F. O. B. New Britain is s12.500, while the American LaFrance is priced at s1z,750.
 Both machines were discussed at length, since the New Britain de partment has types of each in use. It was decided that standardization should be brought about as nearly as possible, this decision following closely the decisions of previous fire boards,
 The commissioners also discussed the brakes on the fire apparatus. The matter of including in the budg- ct for next year an item for new brakes on some of the apparatus was discussed, although no definite decision was reached.
 Committee on Regulations
 It was voted to appoint a commit tee to make a study of the rules and regulations of the New Britain de- uartment and to report back and recommend any changes deemed ad- yisahle. The committee, as appoint ed by the chairman, consists of Commissioners King and Mikalaus- kas. together with Chief William J. Noble and Thomas ]. Meskill, clerk of the fire board. The matter was brought up on motion of Commis- sioner King.
 The board voted to distribute among representatives of the press in this city. badges which will identify them at fires and allow them to pass inside the lines. This move. suggested several times dur ing the regime of the board im- mediately preceding the present one, was never brought to a head but the present members were unanimously in favor of providing reporters with such means of identification.
 Chief Noble reported that s1,- sS0.05 has been turned over to the nremens pension fund. Of this to- tai, s1.600 comes from the city as its annual contribution. and sSG.05 comes from the sale of old appara- tus and incidentals.

to restore Europe and owing to the fact that instability continued these credits were withheld. Therefore it was necessary to get all the inter- allied debt questions settled.
 MT. Young added that he be- lieved the treatment of debts com mercially was misrepresenting the spirit of a great nation and doing the greatest historical wrong to the reasons for Americas entry into the war. He said he did not plead for revision of the debt to the United States, but for the sake of Anglo American relations. which could not flourish unless the United States realized that there was a strong realization in England con- corning the moral implications of the debt question.
 There was a small minority in America who made their ledger their Bible and commercialism their God, declared Mir. Young, who

added, however, that he believed the real. opinion of the American people was otherwise and that in the real opinion of the American people was otherwise and that in the course of time the true heart of that great people would express itself.
 MT. SnoWden considered the American debt settlement a most unfortunate thing, because it vitiated the whole solution of inter- allied indebtedness. David Lloyd George thought it a great misfor- tune that all debts were not can- celled. He said the whole muddle in Europe today was due to Premier BaldWin's unfortunate settlement" with the United States.

 The attitude of the United States on the debt question was strongly criticized by some members of the commons, and the chancellor took sharp issue with Andrew W.

The season for cutting and
hauling jack pine bolts is practic-
ally over. When the heavy thaw
came last week several of the
haulers put in overtime in order
to complete their jobs. The
continuation of winter that fol-

made it possible to do some more
work in the woods.
Next Tuesday is election day
in the village and town. The
Australian ballot is in effect in
both places and the candidates
had to file to get their names on
the ballot. We understand that
most of the open offices have
been filed for but there is very
little opposition in any. 1t is
now the duty of the citizens to
go to the polls and cast their bal
lot. If they have other prefer
ences than those on the ballot,
they can indicate their choice by
writing it in under the respective
office.

but the work was all in vain, as
on Sunday night there came more

the terrific wind soon made the
roads impossible again. Now we
will have to wait for Old Sol to
do it's work before another at
tempt of road-opening will be
made.

To the Voters of
Norman Township
Greetings:

AS the general election is near,
| take this method of thanking
you for your staunch support
during my administration as SUI
pervisor of your township. l
have filed for reelection for
another term. | have tried
during the past term with the
able support of my fellow col
leagues in office to give you
clean and honest service. What
success | have had | leave to your
judgment at election time. You
of course we'll know there is the
calamity propaganda to reckon
with. Remember, Mr.. and Mrs.
voter, the town records are open
for the keenest inspection at any
and all times. The funds voted
by you for the upkeep of the
township has been used as econ
omically as possible. No ex-
pensive road equipment has been
purchased, and the grader that
was bought on time has been
paid for. 1t is needless to say,
you will agree with me that
there were more roads built in
the last three years than ever
was built in the same length of
time before in your township.
There is no use of me saying
more. If you think l have done
the fair thing, extend me your
support at this time. On the
other hand, if you think my op-
ponent for office is more quail
fed, vote for him. You still have
my thanks for your past favors.
| claim to be a good loser as well
as a fair booster for good roads.
Enough said, if elected | pledge
myself on strict economy in
every way possible. If you
weigh me on the scales Of justice
and find my qualifications lack
ing, | will abide by your deci-
sion, but will still live in the
house by the side of the road and
be friend to man.
Respectfully yours,
Geo. M. Hyatt.
