IL wasn't so very loud, but there Was something in it that started the cold chills to running all over Impy It was the cry of Spooky the Screech Owl. Impy didn't know this, for he had never heard Spooky before; but he did know that somehow a strange terror had taken possession of him. Cold chills ran all over him. He was too frightened to move. H.

He felt just scared. That was it, scared He felt almost too scared to breathe He just sat there-a little black. frightened Chipmunk, filled with an unnamed fear.

Agriculture Department Sees
Gloomy Prospect of Gain
Unless Warning Is Needed

A fortnight warning to wheat
growers that sharp reductions in
acreage are imperative if growers
are to receive any profits in the
next six to ten years, was made
last night by the Agriculture De
partment in a world wheat out
look.
Portraying gloomily the pros

the next decade in the face Of
increasing production and de.

extensive adjustments in wheat

growers"
Discussing the effect Of the
new tariff law on the farmer,
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde

that the average income per farm
on the basis Of 1928 production
and prices, would be increased
by about $50 If the new tariff
were fully effective"
Taking the average farm in
come of $1,159 a year. he said
the tariff might increase the
farmers budget by per cent
or about $48 year.

SALES IN
JUNE GAIN

The net volume of the busi-
ness of Scott Paper Company,
Chester, Pa, in the month of
June totaled $l,005, 1871. This
is the largest volume of sales
secured by this manufacturer of
tissues in any one month of it's
history and represents an increase
of 1873 per cent over June, 1929.
This record, as well as a gain
of 13 per cent for the first six
months of 1880, is regarded by
the officers of the company as
particularly gratifying when busi-
ness generally is experiencing
great difficulty in holding to the
levels of a year ago. Increased
newspaper advertising during that
period is regarded as having becn
an important factor in the gain

AVERAGE WAGE
HERE S2,149

Washington industrial workers
earn more than those in seven
selected" cities which are. never
theless, not "hand-picked." a sur.
Vey for the Board of Trade by
Rufus S. Lusk revealed yesterday.
The cities were chosen, LuSk
said, because IF their proximity to
Washington or their similarity in
population. They are Phi'adel
phia, Baltimore, Richmond, Buf.
falo, San Francisco, New Orleans
and Minneapolis.
Washington is the only one of
the cities in which the average
industrial salary exceeds the fam
lily expenditures, he %aid, adding
"The fact that Washington
is the only city here studied in
which there is a positive mar
gin is significant.
"a combined weighted aver.
age of the salaries of the indus.
trial workers hnd the Govern.
ment employees in Washington,
which group constitutes 81 per
cent of WashingtOn's total
working population. gives an
average income of $2,149.
"ThiS would seem to indicate
the average salary in Washing
ton is substantially above the
average expenditures per fam
ily."

Buying in Rails

While on the subject of invest
ment demand for stocks, it is
well to consider the buying that
came into the carrier group yes
terday. High grade RAILROAD
shares are selling at prices to
yield high rates. Returns which
cannot help proving attractive
to the most conservative buyers.
While dividend deductions are
possible in some industries, it is
fairly certain that none of the
railroads will cut their payments,
any more than any corporation
would reduce it's dividend as the
result of a single months decline
in business. Leading railroad
executives believe their business
is at its bottom for the year, so
it is logical to expect a radical
improvement in the second half
of the year. Leaders of business
and industry have reached the
point where they are unwilling
to issue optimistic statements
merely for their psychological
effect, so, assuming that railroad
executives know more about the
railroad business than stock
traders do. we may look for better
days for the carrier stocks.
Among my favorites in the rail
group are New Haven, Erie, West
ern Maryland, and Wabash in the
semispecu1ative division, and
Chesapeake and Ohio, New York
Central and Union Pacific in the
gilt-edge investment category.
