week due to various causes. Jul
ian Orth and Cecilia Gritzmacher
were sick all week. Paul Minette,
Henry Gritzmacher and Johnny
Lindemann were absent on Friday.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day the State Board Examinations
were taken by the three upper
grades. Some were "a little hard
er than others, but all did
very good work taking into consid-
Grafton that most of them were
sixth and seventh graders. 1t is
the best showing we have made in
the past few years. We were sor-
ry that Cecilia was sick and UNI
able to come ito take them. All
the lower grades had vacation dur
ing these three days.
Friday afternoon we did not
have industrial work as most of
us had vacation. The Sunny Hill
Club held its meeting the last half
hour of the day. Vice President,
Margaret Determan, presided over
the meeting and Theresa Lnde-
mann acted as secretary as the
other officers were absent. The
usual business was transacted. 1t
was decided that we should rent
a book from the town library to be
read to us, as all of the best books
in our own library had been read.
The book decided upon was "Sud-
JOS Gave" by Trowbridge.
The play ground equipment has
arrived but has not as yet been
erected. 1t will take quite a while
to set it up as the main post has
to set in concrete about ten days.
We are waiting anxiously for the
time when it will be completed.
Margaret and Leo Determan met
with an accident Friday afternoon
while playing ball. Margaret re-
ceived the harder bump of the
two and the result is a rather
swollen and discolored eye.
We are getting busy working out
a program for installation of our
playground equipment. Watch for
date and fuller particulars next
week.
Tuesday one of the windows be
came aware of the presence of a
ball fatally near its place of hab-
itat. The pane gave forth "a cry
of pain when the ball came in con-
tact with it, and found it was nee
essary to rest in pieces, if not in
peace.
The lower geography class has
started the study of South Amer
lea.
A new kitten ball has been pur.
chased and has already received
many hard knocks in the course OF
it's short life.

. ton of production by the Ford Motor
company while preparations were un-
derWay for production of a new model,
which brought automobile production
lower in 1927 than in any year since
1922.
There were also decreases during the
last half of the year in non-ferrous
metals, building materials, rubber tires,
food products and all industries except
textiles, leather, petroleum refining and
tobacco manufactures were less active
toward the end of 1927 than year
earlier.
Agricultural developments during
the year were in contrast to the course
of industry" the review continued.
Agricultural prospects, which at the
beginning of 1927 were not as bright
as the industrial outlook, improved
considerably in the latter part OF the
year LaCe in the spring prices OF
agricultural commodities began to rise,
reflecting chiefly increases in the
price of cotton, corn and cattle. Sub
sequently, prices of other products also
advanced and since wholesale prices
of agricultural commodities show
ed little change during this period, the
purchasing power of agricultural prod,
ucts was considerably improved
In discussion of industrial profits,
the board said declining prices and
curtailed industrial activity in the
course of. the year has had the effect
of reducing profits of industrial cor
porations below the high level of 1926.
Net profits of I'll corporations, from
which reports were summarized by the:
federal reserve bank Of, New York, were
"about five per cent smaller for the
first three quarters of 1927 than for
the same period of 1926, but consider
ably larger than in the same period of
1925 or 1924"

living in the Bellevue Arms apart

man visited Hickman in his rooms,
Friday, Dec. 16.
Officers said that information
might indicate that the school girl
was slain on Friday, and not on
Saturday, December II, as Hickman
said in his confession to police.
The search of district attorneys
investigators was directed toward a
girl who, officers were told, moved
from the apartment house several
days ago.
The officers told that converse

woman and Hickman in his apart

Only a glimpse was obtained of the

FEDEAL RESERVE BOARD FINDS
BUSINESS CONDITIONS PROMISING

WASHINGTON Dec. 81 tP)-DeSpite
the recession in recent months, Ameri-
can business, in the judgment of the
federal reserve board, closed its books
today after year of activity, second
only to record breaking 1926.
Throughout 1927, the board said in
a business review of sthe year, bank
credit was abundant for all classes of
enterprise and money rates were rela-
lively low, particularly after mid
summer and early autumn when dis
count rates were reduced. The supply
Of capital funds arising from national
savings was exceptionally large and
flotations of domestic and foreign Sc
curities were in record volume.
The board summed up the situation
in this language:
Industrial and trade activity in the
United States showed further de-
cline in the last weeks of 1927, when
allowance is made for the usual sea-
Sonal trend and at the end of the year
production and wholesale trade were
in smaller volume than at the close of
any year since 1924.
Notwithstanding the recession in
business III recent months, the volume
of activity for the year as whole was
nearly as large as the record establish
ed in 1926 and larger than any prev
ious year.
The output of mines and factories
and the volume of building construc-
ton was somewhat smaller than the
year before, though. larger than in
preceding years
Distribution of commodities to con-
SUmerS was maintained on high level
and there was no evidence of undue
accumulation of inventories. The gen
eral level Il commodity prices, which
had been declining for about two
years, turned upward in the early
summer of 1927 and at the close of
the year was only about per cent
lower than at the end of 1926"
Under the heading of industrial ac-
tivity, the board said that except for
minor fluctuations, industrial produc-
ton declining steadily after April l.
falling in July below the level of 1926
and after October below that of 1925.
When allowance is made for customary
seasonal movements, the production of
manufacturers in November, the lat
est month for which complete figures
are available, was smaller than in any
month since November, 1924.
Recovery in manufacturing activity
during the early months of the year
from the low level reached in Deem
ber, 1926, was general throughout
most of the industries" the review
added.
Cotton and silk consumption was
larger than in any previous year and
the wool and leather industries recov-
ering somewhat from the depression of
recent years, were more active than
for any year since 1928. In October
and November these industries showed
some decline in output, along with
other industries, but continued some
what larger than year earlier.
The largest part of the decrease
during the last half of the year oc-
Cured in the two industries showing
the biggest increase at the beginning
iron and steel and automobiles"
The decrease was particularly sharp
in automobile manufacture, the board
said, due in large measure by cessa-

ment in consideration of the bill
would not be strenuously opposed
on the ground that many of the
party have contended that the pro-
posed reduction in corporation rates
should not apply on this years in
come on which taxes will be paid
during the coming year.
The democratic position will not be
definitely outlined until am the
return about January of Senator
Simmons, of North Carolina, ranking
minority member OF the finance com
mittee. However, two democratic
members OF the committee. Harrison,
OF Mississippi, and King, of Utah,
have declared against the delay.
While it is said at the White House
that President Coolidge is willing to
leave the question OF a delay in
the hands of the senate, republican
leaders understand that Mr. Coolidge
definitely favorS postponement if it
is necessary to keep the reduction
within the limit of $225,000,000 set
by the administration
With a delay, republican leaders
contend they will be able to know
definitely what the prospects are for
tax receipts next year on this years

be able to use as club for keep
