Offset Message

In addition to the better news
bearing directly upon the stock mar
ket, the cotton market firNed mp APP
preciably. These factors served to
offset President Coolidge's message
on the Nicaraguan situation. The
market could not escape the conClu-
sion. however, that the Presidents
position on the Nicaraguan matter
indicates quite plainly just how the
administration feels about Mexico
which makes the statement of the
utmost Importance.
Naturally bankers We're not in
clined to comment upon the gist of
the Chief Executives message to
Congress. but In private conversa-
lions the general feeling put forth
was very evidently one of complete
approval and of hearty accord.
Discount Effects
This message might have had a
decided effect upon oils and other
companies having interests in Mexi-
CO were it not for the fact that the
questions involved have already been
fairly well understood and the
market had discounted the effects.
Stocks paid little attention to the
message and the market tended to
center around Steel common and a
few other old line leaders. With
Steel showing a very substantial in
crease in business as of Dec. 81. De
mand improved to a point where the
issue crossed $50 again, coming with
in IA points of the record high for
all time. Steel is meeting with an
excellent demand on an investment
LASTS, the market accepting as fore
gone conclusion the continuation of
the present Z per cent dividend rate
when the 40 per cent stock dividend
is paid in April.

MEDAL FOR LOCAL
YOT1TH

Following a precedent set by the
Sons of the American Revolution to
stress manly qualities in school boys,
the local D. A. R. will present their
citizenship medal here this year. The
medal is of bronze in handsome de-
sign and about the size Of dollar
The award will be made during the
closing exercises of the school in
May. The conditions for winning it
are as follows:
A pupil in the eighth grade viii be
selected.
The medal will be given for De-
pendability, as evidenced by punctu
atty, honesty, truthfulness, loyalty
and self-control; Cooperation, as evil
denced by respect for authority, prop
erty and the rights of others and by
courtesy; Leadership, as evidenced by
what the individual has done to make
the school better school; Cleanliness
in speech and personal habits; and
Patriotism, evidenced by respect for
the flag and obedience to our coun-
try's laws.
At least two months after the med
al is offered and some ten days before
it is to be awarded, the class compet-
ing will meet and select by ballot.
the five boys in that class who, they
think. are best entitled to the medal.
From this list of five names the win
ner is to be selected by the principal
and all the teachers who have had
the bov in classes during the current
year.
Particular stress should be laid in
explaining the conditions Of the
award, on the fact that an unworthy
selection made by the class, reflects
directly on those making the choice
and care should be taken that the
student body understands that neither
social popularity, athletic achieve
ment nor scholarship should be the
determining factor in the selection;
in practice, however, those worthy
for the honor for high ideals of citi-
zenship frequently have these other
gifts, also.
