from the work of the bears but he
got his crop gathered before too much
damage had been done but he says that
some orchards nearer the mountains
were almost completely destroyed By
the bears climbing the trees after thu
apples.
This is the first year that much dam
age has been done to the orchards IN
that locality by bruin. Mr.. Moses thinks
it is due to the fact that bands of shseD
ranged through the mountains and d.

the bears feed Finding the berries

Here is another matter that many
do not understand, continued Mr..
Crotteau THAT is the adjusted COM
pensation matter, incorrectly consid-
cred by many bonus or gift to the
soldiers. In fact, it is what the term
signifies-adjusted compensation. Sol
diers serving in the ranks during the
war received dollar day and board
Men at home reaped high war wages,
in many instances the highest wages
ever paid. 1t was not just to ask the
soldiers to go into the thick of battle
and otherwise devote their time to the
defense of their country at such mea-
ger wages while those at home were
being paid so we'll. World war vet
Grams were further aroused when an
army of federal employees in Washing
ton and elsewhere were voluntarily
given a substantial bonus by congress
after the war had closed. Therefore,
congress was induced to enact legisla-
ton granting to soldiers of the World
war sum Of money that would partly
equalize the wages paid the soldiers
with that paid other men at home. That
adjusted compensation is by right
something that belongs to the vet
Grams; it is not a gift of generous
government to them. Fifty per cent
of that money has been paid to the
veterans. 1t was the last or final hall
Of the compensation still due them
that the Legion refused to ask for in
their recent national convention"

Stories to the effect that deer are
destructive of farmers crops are COM
mon but one does not often hear that
the bear are so numerous they are
likewise doing away with lot of pro-

Mozes of Eureka is authority for the
statement that that very thing is hap

Mr.. Mozes lives north of Eureka and
has a fine commercial orchard from
which he makes goodly profit each

caused him considerable damage in
robbing his orchard Of the apple crop.
Mr.. Moses orchard is at the base of
some mountains in which the bear

the mountains and begain to eat all
the apples they could reach from the
ground and would then climb the
trees. When they got to climbing, they

POLICE SHIFTS EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER
CONDITION OF BERNARD CARROLL
A Slight Improvement Re- ported in Condition of
 Eight-Year-Old Boy
VICTIM OF AUTO MISHAP

A slight improvement was re- ported to-day in the condition of Bernard E. Carroll, Jr, eight year old son of Mir and Mrs Bernard Carroll of 20 Edwin street. The lit- tie lad suffered fractured skull late Friday evening when caught under a delivery truck which over turned on Huntingdon avenue. The child's mother, who was holding four-year old child in her lap, the driver Asa H. Burr of Highland avenue and John Casey, IA, of West Main street, escaped injury.
 Burr disappeared shortly after the accident and has yet to appear at police headquarters to explain the mishap. Members of the de- tective bureau made futile search for him Friday evening and Satur- day, but without success. Charges of reckless driving and evasion of responsibility face him. It is also likely that Coroner John T. Mon- Zani in view of the condition of the Carroll boy may hold him under heavier bonds.
 It was understood at police head quarters to-day that Burr was to surrender himself. His parents have engaged counsel and the latter have notified the police that it would not be necessary for them to carry on the search. The youth became badly frightened as 8 re- suit of the accident and ran away.

Activity In Market To-day Proved Dull
 And Uninteresting
Lowest Levels in the Bear Market-Several Groups
 Were Able to Show Special Strength

tie selling of an important char acter came into the market and the list held an even keel.
 Several groups were able to show special strength. Among these were the coppers, which responded to hopes of early curtailment of pro- duction, and electrical refrigerd- tions, which responded to belated recognition of the excellent earn ing position existing in the indus try.
 Steel common was quiet. After dropping l # points in the early trading to 67 IA. the issue rallied to 69. Similar movements took place in other leaders such as Gen. eral Motors, General Electric and J. I. Case. Some of the rails were able to better their previous clos ing levels by fractions.
 Investmen mt rails such as Atchi- son and Union Pacific were weak. Several delayed delivery sales Were liquidation of holdings from abroad Central rallied to It's previous clos ing level of 61 after touching a low of 59 Is.
 Du Pont was strong spot in the industrial division, squirting nearly ? points on it's improved third quarter earning statement. Generals Motors went along but enthusiasm for this issue was dam pened by estimates of earnings only 20 to 30 cents a share for the third quarter and fears of an early downward dividend revision.
 Utilities ', ere quiet and little changed. While not important, the principal development to these shares was the 17 points drop to 50 in engineers public service pre- ferred on a single sale.

Welcome Ihundered
 President When He
 Came To Yorktown
Navy That He Is Trying to Hamper Accorded Him
 Every Honor Village Is damned With Visitors

Over at. the left were the French cruisers Duquesne and Suffreu which brought a distinguished group of Frenchmen to the cele- bration of the 150th anniversary of Cornwallis' surrender at this quiet little Virginia hamlet. The old re- stored F'rigate Constitution, hero of many sea battles, was the third ship in line on the left side of the river.
 The Arkansas slid into anchor age beyond the Constitution about 1000 yards off share. Soon there appeared bouncing over the waters of the river an admirals' barge, bringing Admiral Willard over to pay an official call of welcome. His appearance was the signal for the Arkansas to try her hand at the trigger and she burst out in thun- der with the vice-admirals' salute of IT guns.
 Mir Hoover appeared impressed by the ceremony. It was possible that he recalled the serious dispute he has had the last few days with the navy over reduction of the naval budget next year--a dispute being arbitrated by the budget di- rector and the navy budget officer in Washington.
 After Admiral willard's visit the president had a few moments of relaxation before the welcoming party of Frenchmen headed by the French Ambassador Claudel and Marshall Petain arrived in a small boat from the ,Duquesne. Their ar- rival called for a 19 gun ambassa- dorial salute from the Arkansas.
 Exactly two hours were required for these ceremonies of welcome before MT Hoover went ashore to deliver an address at the pageant field.
 The village of Yorktown was jammed with holiday crowds.
 The land welcoming party in- cluded Governor Pollard, Senator Swanson and Representative Bland of Virginia. Mingling aroundn them were tattered Continentals and bril- liant clad "Red Coats" some Rev. olutionary ladies with powdered wigs and hoop skirts. All were waiting to reenact the surrender scene later in the day.
 Symbolic of a more modern era, however, were hot dog stands, toy balloon salesmen and airplanes skirting overhead.
 The pageant field schedule was arranged as follows:
 II a. m.-Mr Hoover speaks.
 12 noon-Luncheon for all dis tinguished guests in tent on the grounds.
 D. m.-President to be award ed with honorary degree by officials from William and Mary college.
 1880 p. m.-Fifteen visiting state governors arrive at the presidents tent.
 1:40 p. m.-Presidential party witnesses the surrender pageant.
 4:30 p. m.-Leave pageant field to reboard Arkansas.
 p. m.-Sail for Annapolis on return trip.

William Powell, Marian Marsh ; Doris Kenyon Delight State
 Audiences In New Hit
 'The Road to Singapore"

Warner Bros State theater is presenting an excellent screen fea- ture today and tomorrow in "The Road to Singapore" with the pop ular William Powell in the star ring role. Here is darkly glamor- ous melodrama of the tropics that gives this superb actor the oppor- tunity of displaying his unique talents. It is entirely different from anything previous he has done.
 Powell is past master in the subtle art of making imperfect characters interesting and sympa- thetic A less able actor would not have dared play the role of Hugh Dawlary in a story lealing so frank ly with fundamentals, but in his experienced hands the picture turns out to be one of thebrfght spots of the current season.
 Set in Khota in Ceylon and play ed with an accompaniment of toms and weird native cere- monials, "The Road to Singapore" is the story of the way of two men with one woman. Dr March, played with exceptional skill by Louis Calhern. new recruit in pictures from the New York stage, brings his bride to the tropical set clement and promptly proceeds to neglect her in the rush of his pro- fessional duties.
 Smarting under this inattention and spurned on be the tropical in- tensity of the life about her, Phil ippa, the bride, played by Doris Kenyon, finds solace, in the person of Hugh Dawltry, the colony's ne'er- do-well, who has previosly proved himself as fascinating to women as he is objectionable to men.
 What eventually comes from this situation is the story twist which prevents "The Road to Singapore" from even bordering on ordinary entertainment. The picture is elab- orately staged and extravagantly produced. The cast includes such favorites as Marian Marsh. Alison Skipwirth, Lumsden Hare and Douglas Gerard. as we'll as the principals mentioned above.
 Miss Kenyon proves to be lovelier with each succeeding appearance on the screen. Her comeback to talking pictures is making history. Miss Marsh, a young actress or great promise in earlier roles, comes into this picture with more confidence and with fiowerlike beauty. She should go far.
 A splendid surrounding program accompanies this fine feature pre- sentation.
