STOCKS IN RALLY
AS SESSION ENDS
Steady Advance During Day
Brings Increase in
Buying Orders.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July l5.-Railway
shares were the leaders in a last-hour
rally that put today's stock market
substantially higher all around.
Prices had been steady all day. with
scattered advances. but it was not until
late in the afternoon that fhe buying
gathered any volume. Atchison and
Union Pacific made new highs on the
recovery. while in lower priced stocks
New York Central seemed to be under
accumulation.
More or less. however. all the rails
were strong. Another group that was
prominent on the advance was the pc
troleum stocks. American Telephone
shook off the influence of the poor half
year statement and closed higher on the
day, while numerous industrials bene-
fitted By short covering.
Approaching adjournment Of Con-
gresS was one reason for the rally. An
other was the excellent way in which
the new bond financing was absorbed.
But most important Of all was tie
steadying of the grain markets. which
were so weak yesterday. and the ad-
vance in cotton, which was up over 81
a bale
Publication of the American Tele-
phone & Telegraph semi-annual state
ment was an adverse influence 1t
showed earnings for the stock of s402
a share, against S489 a share in the
first six months a year ago; but if
account were taken Of the payment to
the parent company by the subsidiaries
Of unearned dividends, the showing
would have been worse. Also the pro-
gressive decline IN telephones in use
was discouraging.
Telephone opened fractionally lower,
reacted, then hardened, and at the end
of two hours trading in the stock was
unimportantly changed. The immedi-
ate question that interests the Street,
Of course, is what will be done at the
dividend meeting on August IT. 1t
would be natural to expect a reduction
in the rate, but there is a considerable
body of opinion to the effect that there
viii be no change at this time How
ever that may be. the price of the stock
has already discounted some reduction.

MORAINE line
BEING OFFERED
BY FRIC!DA!RE

DAYTON, O., March 2S. (Spe-
ciaD-The Moraine line, composed
of three new low priced Frigi-
daires has been announced by
Frigidaire corporation. Tie new
models range from four to six
cubic feet in capacity and are
listed at the factory from $50 up.
The three new models are being
placed on the market in response
to a definite demand for a sturdy
dependable electric refrigerator
built and guaranteed by manu-
facturer of national reputation that
will sell we'll below the established
price range for products of this
character, a factory announcement
states.
"The Moraine line will in no way
effect the manufacture and sale OF
F'rigidaires standard all-porcelain
line" said E. G.. Biechler, president
and general manager. LAS a result
of the great popularity OF these
porcelain finished models, the cor
poration built and shipped in 1881,
35 per cent more household cleo
tric regrigerators than it did in
1890"
While occupying less floor space,
the new models follow in general
the established principles of F'rig-
idaire engineering and provide
most of the best known features OF
the older and longer line of prod
ucts, it was stated. The mechanism
carries a three-year guarantee.
They represent the best
equipment our extensive engineer
ing and manufacturing facilities
have been able to provide without
sacrificing structural features we
regard as vitality necessary to high
grade performance and lasting
satisfaction, for despite the gen.
eral demand for lower commodity
prices, the majority of people rec
ognize the folly of cheap mer-
chandise and rightfully insist upon
quality at the same time" Biech-
Ter said.
The duco-finished Morainc line
will be handled through the pres
ent Frigidaire distributing organi-
zation, plus a considerable number
of new dealers who may handle il
exclusively or in connection with

The Negroes were involved in one
robbery last night, while lone
Mexican was the bandit who en-

The Mexican held up J. B. White
in Brawley, threatening him with
revolver and taking a II jewel
Hamilton watch. This was about
.7:45 last night. The robbery was
reported to Brawley police, and a
report made 10 the sheriff's office

over to where he was. One was

BEDTIME STORIES

THAT is so I will not get lost, ="
mooed the COW.
Uncle Wiggily twinkled his pink
nose and asked:
How can a bell on your neck
keep you from getting lost?'
"Well, it doesn't really" spoke
the COW. But if l should wander
far off into the deep woods, and
the nilkman should come looking
for me. he could tell where I was
by listening to the tinkle of my
bell, and then he could come and
find me-
"Oh, I see said Uncle Wiggily,
Then it should be the milkman
who would be lost and not you?"
Something like that the COW
mooed. You see the woods are so
thick that often I am hidden be-
hind the bushes. But the milkman,
hearing my bell, knows where to
look for me-"
IT'S a fine idea said Uncle
Wiggily. IF you have nothing spe-
cial to do, Mrs. Milk, should like
to walk along with you and maybe
I'll have an adventure
Come along" invited the. COW
So she and Uncle Wiggily roamed
through the woods together, the
COW pushing aside the bushes with
her horns TO make room for the
rabbit gentleman. All of a sudden
the COW stopped and mooed in a
loud voice:
I've lost it"
Lost what?" asked the rabbit.
I've lost the bell from around
my neck" said Mrs. Milk Now if
I wander away they can't hear the
bell tinkle and I shall never be
found. Oh, dear, this is very sad!'
Don't worry" said Uncle Wig
gily. The milkman can easily find
you if you blow one of your horns
instead of tinkling your bell. Go
on Blow a horn, Mrs. Milk.
"Oh, but you don't understand
mooed the COW. Il can't blow my
hornl Oh, this is dreadful! What
am I to do? I'm lost and nave no
bell to ring" Uncle Wiggily
laughed. He wasn't worried for he
had thought of a way to help the
COW lady get back home. And you
shall hear about it tomorrow night.
Then the story will be Uncle Wig
gily and the cows bell. And I hope
the rubber boot will stop kicking
the grape fruit around thinking
it's football

Jail Population
Shows Increase

An unusual situation for the
spring season Of the year held
sway at the Imperial county Jail
today, as the semi-permanent
population of the institution had
leaped in two days from l21 to
154. due to the activity of city,
county and federal officers.
Eddie Nett, county jailer, and
Jack Carter, city jailer, were busy
yesterday and the day before book
ing a total of 33 prisoners. OF
these, IS were furnished by immi-
grafton officers and will be held
tor trial in San Diego.
In addition to the new guests
the jailers were given added work
when 13 Chinese were checked out
yesterday for a trip TO 5an Diego,
where they were to be tried today
On charges of illegal entry into the
United States.

AT YOU" said the little orphan
bunny. 1T seems to me, Unkie
Wig she went on, that any day
is a good one for you to have adj
ventures. Whether it rains or
SHOWS or the sun shines or it is
cloudy, off you hop to look for ad-
ventures. The weather doesn't
bother you"
That's very true agreed Mr..
Longears. I'm not fussy about the
weather. But as it seems like
nice day now, I'll skip along and
see what happens.
May I come with you as far as
the Hollow Stump SCHOOL," asked
Runty. And when Uncle Wiggily
said she might the little orphan
rabbit child hoped along beside
him until they parted at the
school. Then Bunty went in to
recite her lessons and Uncle Wig
PLY hoped over the fields and
through the woods to see what
would happen.
He had not gone far before he
heard a bell ringing.
What can this be?' said the
rabbit gentleman to himself. Have
I turned around and gone back to
the school? Is that the school bell
ringing?'
He looked TO make sure, but saw
no Hollow Stump School, and, in
deed, it would have been strange
to see a school in the middle Of the
woods. But still the bell rang
again
IT can't be a dinner bell, nor
yet a bell on trolley car said
Uncle Wiggily. Il wonder what
bell it ig?"
Then he heard crickling,
cracking II Aund in the bushes and
a big broJ COW, with white face
and two horns on her head, walked
out into a little open place where
the rabbit was standing. There
was a bell fastened to strap
around the cows neck and it was
! this bell which Uncle Wiggily had
heard ringing.
Hello, Uncle Wiggily,' said Mrs.
/ Mix. which was the cows name.
"Oh, hello" said the rabbit. I'm
glad TO see you. But why do you
have a ringing bell OH your neck?"

Uncle Wiggily was out in front
of his hollow stump bungalow
looking up at the sky and twink

Are you looking for an airship,
Unkie Wig?" asked Baby Bunty.
The little orphan was hopping
along on her way to school.
oh, no, Bunty,' answered Mr..
Longears. I'm not looking for an
airship I Just want to see if this
Is a good day on which to have
some adventures.
Baby Bunty laughed.
What are you laughing at?'

WELCOMING THE BABY

WELCOME, Westmorland to the fold
" of Imperial Valley cities.
After an existence of several years in
the role of poor relation or "unwanted
orphan, the busy and energetic settle
ment in the northwest corner of the val
ley voted last week to step into line and
become an incorporated city, the baby
city of Imperial county.
The decision was by the narrow mar
gin of six votes, in an election that had
all the civic feeling and rivalry between
factions that might well do credit to
large place.
The people Of Westmorland are to be
congratulated on taking up civic privll-
edges, not to mention civic troubles. We
hope they may make every use OF the
former and have a minimum Of the lat
ter.
We hope, now that the die has been
cast, that Westmorland will not follow
one lead of its sister cities. The elec-
ton on incorporation brought out just
about every registered voter there was in
the neighborhood. That is as it should
be. Westmorland voters should continue
to take this same active intesest in their
future elections.
The big complaint with every munich
pality in the country is that its voters
will not turn out for election. That IS
the real reason why Chicago, New York
and every other metropolitan area is sub
ject to gangsterism and all the ills that
afflict large municipalities. 1t applies
equally to the smallest municipality in
the country.
Whether it is to choose a mayor or de-
eide a paving contract or bond issue,
or to buy Tom Hancock a new press,
Westmorland's civic troubles will be COM
paratively small as long as it voters re-
spond as they did in this initial election.
