POWER FIRMS GAIN
IN NET REVENUES
Nine-Month Total Earnings
Exceed Similar Period
in 1929.


NEW YORK, November iS.--Reve-
nue. Of electric light and power COM
panies in the country as whole for the
first nine months this year was well In
excess Of income reported in the same
period last year, reports Electrical World
In making public the results OF an
analysis OF figures complied on the basis
OF monthly returns from power COM
panies throughout the United States.
Inc total OF all energy sales during the
three quarters aggregated 81 ,507. SOC. 900,
gain OF per cent over the $l,54l ,000,-
600 recorded in the corresponding time
last year.
2 Per Cent Gain Seen.
The effect Of the acceIeration during
the early part Of 1929 and the retarda-
ton in 1880 Is evident from the accom-
panying table. While this years earnings
have been consistently ahead OF last
years, the margin has gradually been
growing narrower. until In September,
with revenue this year Of STA .0OO. 600
II was only 0.6 per cent. Any slight re-
vision in the latter figure that may re-
suit from the inclusion Of DELAYED re-
turns will not appreciably change this
conclusion.
Assuming that for the remaining
Cnree months the average viii be about
the same as for the equivalent period
last year, the total for 1880 will be not
far from $3.50, 000, 900. leaving a gain
somewhat better than per cent over
the 50, los 100000 for 1929. The as
sumption Is reasonable, because by Octo-
Der, 1929, the industrial tide had al
ready begun to ehb; the gain over 1928
was shrinking. Merely the normal sea-
sonal growth over present levels viii ac-
count for more than the revenue here
assumed.
These statistics merely summarize. Of
course, what was to be inferred from
published statements of numerous In
dividual companies. The fundamental
nature Of the electric power industry
and its extraordinarily diversified serv-
ice endow 1t with unusual stability OF
income
Meanwhile, operating expenses have
been held down to reasonable propor-
ttons, compared with revenue, 50 that
the gain in gross revenue has been re-
fiected in net. Reduced fuel Consump-
ton alone, due both to greater plant
efficiency and to diminished demand
for energy, has brought savings on the
order OF. 100000 q month. But for
the unusual drought the saving would
have been even greater.

NEW YORK, November l5.-Bonds
advanced narrowly all around today in
quiet trading. Though there was some
profit taking and tax selling in stocks,
prices were so well held in that market
that no fresh cashing Of bonds was
made necessary.
While there may have been a small
volume of tax selling in bonds that
have had wide losses in recent weeks, 1t
was readily absorbed. Money rates were
unchanged.
Seasoned investment issues such as
Pennsylvania AIS, Union Pacific first
As, Chesapeake Corporation IS, Ameri-
can Telephone 5lzs. Standard OIL of
New Jersey SIS and Philadelphia Co. IS
were strong from the start. United
States Government obligations adj
vanced a shade, with all of the long,
term active descriptions quoted within
1872 to 2-32 of their best prices for the
year.
Conyertibles reflected the strength Of
stocks at Fridays close with gains OF
fractions to over q point.
An encouraging sign was the unanin-
ity with which second and third grade
issues followed the upturn. Junior rail
issues, like Chicago Great Western As,
st. Paul Adjustments, Florida East
COHSL OS, MlSSOuIl~FdCAklC OT2S, Ocd-
board Airline SIS and Wabash 412s, all
gained. So did the following indus
trials: Fisk IS, Chile Copper SIS, Dodge
Brothers IS, Armour Of Delaware 512s,
Goodyear IS, Paramount Publix 5l2s,
Armour of Illinois AIS, Sinclair rs and
Hudson e. Manhattan Income SIS.
Foreign dollar bonds were quieter,
with a few wide movements in South
Americans, where the situation is re-
ported as somewhat better. Province

bian IS, however, were Of points.
Peruvian credits remained weak. Ger

tirely dependent upon what the con-
sumner was willing to pay for meat.
Right now, more perhaps than IN
months, the packers price for live
stock is gagged by what he can get for
dressed meat. The beef and lamb and
fresh pork bought this week win be on
the retail market next week-the week
before Thanksgiving that week
always is poor for the retail meat trade.
Thus, If next week brings continued
heavy live stock receipts, the market
reasonably might be expected to drop
further.
II it does, it will have only the first
two weeks in December to crawl back
to something like normal prices, as
disastrously low as they are, before the
balky Christmas holiday trade takes a
further whack at prices.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 15.-The Ma
tional Hotel Exposition held here this
week haerd reports that 10000 hotel
rooms will be added to those already
available in Manhattan and Brooklyn
during the next IA months. Mark Cad
well, chairman of the exposition, said 1t
was one of the most successful ever held.
A canvass Of exhibitors showed 81, $780,
900 worth Of goods sold.
Warm weather curbed retail sales in
New York during the week, reports from
large stores indicated. Sales of outer
apparel fell of sharply, and there was a
diminished demand for cold weather ac-
cessories. Sales of home furnishings
were in substantial volume, due to spe-
call merchandising efforts.
Broadloom silk weavers, while operat-
ing on a better basis than for some time
past, are not obtaining the volume of
business anticipated, according to re-
ports in the industry. Stocks of hosiery
are too large for the present market
and production is ahead of demand, fac
tories report, and there have been
threats Of labor troubles in some districts
to complicate the situation.

HOLIDAY TURKEYS
WILL BE PLENTIFUL
Local Wholesalers Confident Of
Large Supply at Reason
able Prices.

It Is held certain by local wholesale
poultry dealers that there will be no
scarcity of turkeys for the Thanksgiving
holiday trade, continued heavy receipts
and contacts with shippers indicating
a market much cheaper than during
any corresponding season since the
close Of the World War.
Other varieties Of poultry are COM
ing in large quantities. according to
dealers, and as soon as the weather
gets cold it Is expected that rabbit
shipments will increase, although it is
believed the supply Of the game will
not be extra heavy.
Yesterdays advices from Texas, ac-
cording to the Bureau Of Agricultural
Economics, told of 16 and II cents a
pound being paid for deliveries Of live
turkeys at dressing plants, which. It is
stated, means 20 and 81 cents for the
same turkeys delivered here.
Speaking Of the condition Of the tur-
key market. local dealer this morning
said there Is every indication Of retail
Thanksgiving market Of IS to SO cents.
Information from shippers, the mer-
chant stated. is suggestive Of a quitting
OF the market rather than of scarcity.

housekeeping at Atlantic City
washington Starr

\VdSIlluSGOu 0CdI)
When a motor car turned over on a New Jersey road
about two months ago and Mayor Anthony Ruffu of
Atlantic City was killed there may have been some UNI
easlness on the part of the free and easy members of
that community lest in the readjustment Of municipal
affairs disturbance would be caused. They were not
treasured when Harry Bacharach, a banker, member Of
a family noted for its vigorous political activity and
integrity, took office as municipal chief. Mayor Bach
arach did not act at once in the direction of municipal
housekeeping, but took a little time to look about him
and find out who was who in the administration and
what was doing on the Boardwalk, within the twilight
zone OF permisstve ~iluegality or in the actual area of
downright lawlessness. A few days ago he began to
move and his doings have caused q great rumpus in the
seaside playground city. Establishments that are known
IN the language of fervid reformers as sinks of iniquity"
have been raided and closed. Racketeers who have been
mulcting ~sportively inclined visitors have been driven
out OF town. Certain Of the officials OF the municipal
ity have been asked to resign because of suspected
collision with the lawless ones. Some of the undesirable
folks have been physically deported. taken out in motor
cars and dumped" outside of the municipal boundaries.
This process has not pleased the neighboring communities
to which the donations were made, but Mayor Bacharach
Is deaf to all pleas for q letup in his home sweeping.
His philosophy appears to be that each town must dis
pose OF its own refuse. Folks who are fond Of occasional
sojourns at Atlantic City for the sake Of its ocean
frontage and wonderful beach and its refreshing air and
Its entertainments will in the main applaud the mayors
efforts to purge !. Of the crooks and swindlers and
arm fraternity brethren who have Of late years
been making It q place Of horror.

Reformation by Golf

With the invasion Of golf into the New Hampshire state
prison. a new field has been opened for the game. The
sport has already been credited with marvellous achieve
uaent. It put the hard-headed business man in adult
rompers and gave him ~playthings that did not injure pro-
tesslonal dignity. It offered healthful pursuits in the
country that were devoid of the distresses of agriculture.
1t created new heroes. Now it is to be used to reform
criminals. The JOB that was too big for the police Of
1icers ciuo Is to be turned over to the golf club.
Honor Is presumed to hold sway over the game of golf.
Conscience substitutes for referee and score keeper, al
though instances have been reported where conscience
has not been an impartial umpire. Still its reputation
Tor honorable practices might commend the game to
criminals; 1t may be that sport can penetrate the hard
ened shell of criminal conscience, and inoculate a convict
with the germ of honesty. Golf is prescribed by ply
siclans for patients who have been sorely afflicted with
mental cares. The criminal is held to be mentally sick,
too. Golf medicine might benefit him.
However, the guardians of convicts should observe
caution IN distributing the accoutrements of golf to
prisoners. Golf clubs are intended to be used on golf
balls. But even tirnid souls. under stress Of severe irrita-
ton, have been known to break them across trees. Con-
victs might attempt to break them over the heads of
guards.

Just Another Sign
Times do change.

Times do Change.
Now a manufacturer of hosiery comes out with the an
nouncement that mems socks will hereafter be self-sup-
porting. That is, the socks will be made with an elastic
band in 1he top which will make the old-fashioned garter
passe. The inventors hail it as a sign of a new freedom
for the male sex.
Maybe it will be, and certainly there are few men who
have formed a real attachment for the garters which
keep their socks off their heels. At the same time, the
male looks with canny eye if not with suspicion upon
innovations in his dress.
The "sheiks," of course, may be depended upon to adopt
any innovation. They tried to popularize the idea of
going without socks but the men who pay the taxes didn't
fall for it. Neither did the men who hire the help or
those who hope to be a boss, big or little, in the near
future.
But if the garterless sock is an improvement mankind
will come to 1t. Perhaps 1t is just another sign of the
times.

Preserve Br'er Rabbit

Much to-do is being made by sportsmens circles In the
east about the manner in which rabbits and other small
game are dying beneath the wheels of automobiles. If
the agitation results in giving motorists a better appre-
citation of the rights of our furred and feathered friends
to the highways, it will have been a good thing.
Even in North Dakota, classified by many Fasteners as
q half-wild environment, there is great need for preserv-
Ing the wild life which we have.
The explanation is made that wild animals fall an easy
prey to the automobile at night. The lights blind them
and they do not know which way to turn. They become
afraid Of the dark on either side of the light shaft cast
by the automobile and run straight down the road ahead
of the speeding car.
Many a North Dakotan has obtained his best idea of
the speed at which q jack rabbit runs by watching the
speedometer on his car while the prairie speedster hoped
down the road ahead of him. Men have chased jack
rabbits for miles under such circumstances, testing their
stamina as well as their speed.
The fact that fewer dead rabbit bodies strew our high
ways now than was the case several years ago is evidence
of the increased Importance of the rabbit In our economic
scheme.
Time was when rabbit drives were held and the long
ears were slain by the thousands. Their bodies were left
to rot on the prairies. That no longer is the case. Rab-
bit skins are valuable and bring thousands of dollars to
North Dakota pockets each year. If rabbits were plenti-
full enough, the sale of rabbit skins might become a profit
able sideline fof many persons.
The motorist who has no other incentive to spare the
jack rabbit which gets in front of his car at night might
keep in mind that every time he destroys. "a rabbit he
eliminates a source of income for the North Dakota
farmer.
