Garden Cheerful
Despite Drop in
Electrical Stock

New York, Aug. 12.-lP)-Although
a loser by nearly $4,0OO,OO0 paper
profits, wiped out in the collapse Of
a pSol operating in Manhattan Elec-
trical Supply company shares, George
A. Garden, member of Dallas, Texas
law firm. still thinks that he has a
bargain in control Of the company
which rested in his hands today.
The drop Of 6Oea points yesterday
in Manhattan Electric, stock ex-
change record for recent years, cut
almost in half the market value of
the company's 10000 shares, about
$4,000 Of which are believed to be
held by Garden. The drastic decline
was marked by wild confusion on
the trading floor and was termed one
of the most spectacular bear raids
of recent times.
Throughout the raid, Garden radi-
ated cheerfulness. asserting that he
had added $4,000 shares to his hold
ings on the decline, and expressed
the belief that the stock was worth
intrinsically more than it's market
value after the sensational break.

Equipment Placed in Work.
ing Order to Handle Flow
of Grain

Preparations to move the heaviest
crop in years are being made by
North Dakota elevators and every
grain receiving station will be ready
to begin operations ut top speed as
soon as threshing commences, sur
vey by the grain warehouse depart
ment of the state railroad shows.
Elevator men have been busy for
several months making repairs to
their establishments and placing
their equipment in working order,
according to c. c. Mcdonnell, men,
ber of the railroad board.
Information received here indicates
that number of elevators which
have been closed for several years
will be open again this year and
ready to receive grain, Mcdonnell
said.
Commenting on the movement Of
grain, Mcdonnell said he expects it
to be faster this year than yer be-
fore in the history Of the state, due
to the use Of motor trucks in haul
ing grain to market and other i'm
proved methods and equipment.
Combines to Aid Movement
Although there are relatively few
combines ready for use in the state
this year they also will have a ten
dency to hurry the grain to the ter
minals, Mcdonnell said.
Incidentally, Mcdonnell said, COM
bine operators should be sure that
grain is ready to cut before begin
ming work. Unless the grain is
thoroughly ripe and has had suffi-
cient time TO dry out somewhat,
there is possibility that the graip
will heat either in storage or in tran
sit, thereby reducing it's market price
and diminishing the return to the
farmer. The maximum moisture con-
tent which wheat should have to war
rant its being cut with a combine is
Ia per cent, the commission is in
formed. Mcdonnell said he is con-
fident, however, that farmers operat-
| ing combines will acquaint them
selves with all facts surrounding
their use before taking them into
the fields and added that he sees no
reason why they should not - as sue
cessful in North Dakota as they have
been elsewhere. No North Dakota
elevators are equipped to dry grain
Mcdonnell said, and this fact makes
| the condition of combined grain al
cutting time an important considera-
tion.
