BOND PRICES GAIN
ON EASIER CREDIT
Market Also Influenced by
Probable Early Change
in Discount Rate.
BY r. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star.


NEW YORK, March 6.-The strong
probability Of reduction OF the Fed
eral Reserve rediScount rate from 4 to
312 per cent, following the lowering Of
the Bank of England rate and We'd
neSdays significant drop in the local
Dill rate, pushed bond prices upward to-
day. While this movement was most
manifest in high-grade bonds, the ball
ance of the list, which had been de-
pressed because of heavy new fiotations
In recent weeks, also showed strength.
:. The feature Of early trading was
the rapid advance of u. s. Government
AVS, Treasury 33ss of 1047 and the
Treasury 33ss Of 1943 all touching their
highest levels since 1928.
Advances were the rule in the prime
group OF railroad, public utility and
Industrial bonds, the only exceptions
being Northern Pacific As, on q point,
and Southern Pacific AIS, down frac-
tionally. American Telephone SIS (lS6S)
at 102, touched their highest price since
issue and International Telephone SIS
Q955) were also at their best 1880
level.
The strength in the stock market
carried bonds with convertible privileges
upward. International Telephone 4lhS
were points higher.
Phillips Petroleum 414s featured the
speculative group with jump of 8
points. Gains were made by Anglo
Chilean Nitrate rs, American Sugar
Refining IS, National Dairy Products
5AS, Cuban American Sugar IS. Brook
yn-Manhattar Transit IS, Hudson
Manhattan income SIS and Third Ave-
nue. As.
Junior rail bonds were active, with
advances in Chicago g. Great Western
As, Rock Island 41zs, Denver q Rio
Grande Western IS, Missouri Pacific As
and 51zs, Frisco AIS, Seaboard IS and
Southern Railway As.
Erie refunding SIS were active and
unchanged, their recent drop Of over q
point evidently being in anticipation Of
the imminent offering of further
100000 Of refunding IS at 95. This
issue is reported in preparation. An
other new fiotation said to be nearly
ready for Offering is one Of Iaclede Gas
512s. The outstanding issue Of Laclede
Gas SIS Is on point from recent
levels.

MONTGOMERY YOUTH FORCED
TO GIVE RIDE TO BANDIT

Gordon Squires, a Montgomery
youth, related an experinced that
smacked of Chicago banditry on his
return home after a nights absence
recently, says the Winthrop News.
Squires said that shortly after he
had entered his car on Montgomery
street on the preceding afternoon, a
man who had hidden in the rear seat
covered him with a gun and ordered
him to drive in the direction of New
Prague. Then he said, the man fore
ed him to drink the contents Of bot
tie which put him to sleep. Accord
ing to his story, he awoke to find
himself alone in his car east of Litch-
field. He could not start the car
and was forced to walk to that city,
where he had his car fixed, telephon-
ed his parents, and started for home.
Although he had been searched, a
roll of $40 in the bib pocket of his
overalls was still intact. Squires said
he cashed checks for the $40 shortly
before entering his car at Montgom-
cry. He described his assailant as
tall and slender with a small, dark
mustache.

HUTCHINSON FROG
WINS FOR FAIRMONT

A true Hutchinson frog jumping
under the Fairmont colors was ac-
claimed the state champion at the
Interstate Wild Life conference of
the Minnesota Game Protective at
Fairmont, early in August, according
to the Hutchinson Leader. The con-
test included representatives from
Chisholm, Fairmont and Hutchinson
and provided considerable entertain
ment at the conference.
There were growing suspicious of
dirty work when Fairmont's trained
entrants in the contest disappeared
mysteriously the night before the
contest was staged. However, Hut
Crimson hackers magnanimously Of
fered the Fairmont sportsmen one of
their priced Maryland bull frogs, and
by some grave mistake, the best
jumper was entered under the Fair
mont banner in the contest. In other
words, Hutchinson's entry was out
jumped, out-leaped, or out-distanced
in the event and Fairmont claimed
the title, although technically Hut
Crimson was the winner-as Hutchin-
son owned both frogs.

CHARLES DAVIS

More than 60 years labor in the
public's service terminated last week
in the death of Charles r. Davis,
former congressman of the Third
District. 1t was career in many in
stances without parallel in the polit-
ical history of Minnesota, career
of service in which the st. Peter man
sought and did carry out the wishes
of the majority of his people in an
uncanny way. 1t was that ability to
read and interpret the public will so
keenly that kept him in the political
saddle against the storms of politics
and. the enemies that are bound to
come in life. He had the people with
him. But for a political confusion,
that career would have continued
longer, for DR.. Fritsche of New Ulm
really defeated Charlie Davis in his
last campaign in 1924. In this day
and age of fleeting. popular approval,
the career of Mr.. Davis is political
phenomena that will not likely be re-
peated in Minnesota for some years
to come. The gand old man has laid
down his labors and at the age Of 80
years has returned to the soil from
whence he came, home to the old
friends and old associates who re-
manned his friends. He leaves MEM
cries of olden political times that will
be talked of for generations to come
in the old Third District, and a record
of service that will stand for all
time.-St. Peter Herald, g

Mrs Knowlton is
Laid to Rest
Funeral Services at Calvary
Episcopal Church Tuesday
Afternoon

Mrs. w. H. Knowlton, resident
of this city for twenty eight years,
died at her home here on Saturday
night, August 9, at midnight. The
cause of her death was debility due
to old age.
Mary Escott Mcconnell was born
November IL, 1854, at Grand Rapids,
Michigan, where she grew to woman
hood. On September "a, 1878, she
was married to Rev. William H.
Knowlton, an Episcopalian clergy
man.
The Knowlton family came to St.
James in October, 1902, and Mr..
Knowlton was rector of Calvary
Episcopal church here until his death,
which occurred on August "a, 1914.
Since her husbands death Mrs.
Knowlton has continued to reside in
the Episcopalian rectory here. She
is survived by one brother, Henry
Mcconnell, of Petoskey, Michigan,
and four children, Louise, this city;
Mrs. Loren Austin, of Sparta, Wis.,;
Mrs. Thomas Innes and Gilbert
Knowlton, of Minneapolis. There are
also three grandchildren, Joan and
Randolph Knowlton, Austin and Will
lam Innes.
Funeral services were held at Cal
vary church in this city on Tuesday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. DR.. C.
c. Rollitt, of Faribault, officiating,
assisted by Rev. A. G. Blage, of An
Okla, and Rev. A. E. Fillmore of Fair
mont. Burial was made in Mount
Hope cemetery by the side of her
husband who passed on before
Watonwan Co. Plaindealer, St. James,
MINI.
Mrs. Knowlton was well known to
many of the older residents of Red
wood Falls. Her husband, Rev. w.
H. Knowlton, was the Episcopalian
clergyman here, for several years at
the time the present rectory was
built.

Highway Washboards
Studied in Tests
Quickly Formed by High Pres
sure Tires-High Speeds
Help Report Shows

High pressure tires produce wash
boards, and they are formed more
quickly at higher speeds, but balloon
tires and shock absorbers will pre-
vent their formation, according to re-
ports of a series of road tests made
by the engineering experiment sta
ton at the State College at Pullman,
Wash.
The tests were made on q dry grav-
ell road, Ia miles long, carrying no
traffic except the test car. A device
which measured the movement of the
springs was used in recording the
bumps, so there was no guess work.
The surface was scarified and bladed
smooth between each test.
Using high pressure tires and no
shock absorbers, the corrugations be-
gan to appear after SO trips when the
car was going at 40 miles an hour,
but did not appear until the Tooth
trip when the car was gonig rs miles
an hour.
Using the same tires and shock
absorbers, 90 trips were required to
produce washboards when the cal
went 40 miles an hour, and 1873 trips
when the car was driven Is miles an
hour.
When balloon tires were substitute
ed and the shock absorbers taken off
no washboards appeared up to 36(
trip when the car was going Is miles
added, none appeared up to $40 trips
whether or not balloon tires would
promote or retard the formation of
washboards on an already deeply
washboarded highway, is a question
yet to be answered." says the report.

KERNEL OF CORN IS

A kernel Of corn lodged in child's
ear for more than year was found
during an operation on Vedla Lou
Oswalt, 12-year old Ceylon girl, for
deafness, and doctors now have hope
of restoring her hearing, says the
Jackson Republic.
The child's parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Andy Oswald of jackson county,
could not account for the deafness Of
the child for the past year, and have
no idea as to how the corn got in the
girls ear.

while the precentage Of high pres

While the PERCENTAGE of high pres
sure tires on passenger cars has
greatly diminished and is at present
very small, the report points out that
the PERCENTAGE of trucks on the high
ways is constantly increasing, and
truck tires are nearly all of the high
pressure type. The report suggests
that if some type of shock absorbers
could be applied to all vehicles using
pressure tires, large savings in the
maintenance of gravel roads might
be accomplished.

DISTRICT RELEASES LETTER
FROM FEDERAL LAND BANK
Continued from Page 81

through the front line of levees
may be stopped at the second line
and prevented from reaching the
district-an extreme flood would
possibly get beyond control;
5. A flood thus out of control
would find its way into the chan
nels of New and Alamo Rivers and
pass through the district with limit
cd harm to the agricultural area: a
year or more continuous flow of the
Colorado would be required before
Salton Sea would start seriously en-
croaching upon the agricultural
lands of the district;
6. The control of Colorado Riv-
er by storage will definitely elimin-
ate major flood hazard. but flood
hazards of smaller nature will al
ways exist from waters of the Gila
and intermediate streams, and a new
silt problem may develop because of
changed conditions of flow intro
ducing difficulties for both the dis
trict and the Yuma project in main
tanning control of the river during
floods.
THE area to which the river is
at present confined is being raised
by stream deposit, thus gradually
elevating the river adove the ad-
jacent country. This action will in
time add difficulties to the task of
Imperial Valley press., 1930-03-26

holding this territory; however,
the rate at which such condition is
developing appears to be slow. Data
collected by the district indicates
that room exists to take care of nor
NAL deposits of the river for 10 or
10 years to come. Unless the con
struction of Boulder Canyon Dam is
DELAYED it should be completed with
in this period. Full assurance that
the capacity of this floodwav will
not be seriously affected within this
time is a matter that cannot be pre-
established. 1t is entirely possible
that a series of high-runoff years
may develop conditions which will
make river control difficult and eX
pensive. Unless such condition
develops, the cost of maintaining
the levees during this period should
not be materially greater than
through the past eight or 10 years,
which amounted to an average of
about $4,000 per year. or around
40 cents per acre for area under
cultivation.
One of the most important qucs-
tions which this bank must consider
in reaching decision as to The ad,
visibility of reopening the valley as
