Governments displayed steadiness.
Although many prominent traders
and brokers, especially Government
bond specialists, were absent from the
financial district, as is the custom
held up we'll. Transfers aggregated
$5,342,000, par value, of which Gov
ernments accounted for less than
100000.
The Associated Press average of 10
utility bonds made a new high for
the year the third time this week at
98.6, up 5 of point on balance. The
averages for other groups ranged
from 2 of point lower to . of a
point higher.
Among others making new highs
for the year or longer were American
Water Works SIS of 1914 at 1882 and
the IS Of 1875 at 93l2; Columbia Gas
& Electric SIS of April, 1852. at ct; the
SIS of May. 1852, at 96%., and the 5s
of 1861 at $685.; Allegheny SIS of 1914
at 1912, and the SIS of 1914 at 49,
and Portland General Electric 4l2s
of 1860 at go
Other bonds of various classical
tions improving on balance included
obligations of Baltimore g. Ohio,
International Telephone. Missouri
Pacific. American & Foreign Power,

Fractional declines were registered
by Armour of Delaware As at 9234
Erie SIS at 6934; Goodyear SIS at 1O4
and Studebaker IS at 52I2.
United States Governments showed
feeble rallying tendencies within the
last few minutes of trading. Home
Owners Loan 234s were the best per-
formers, ending 4-32ds higher at
100.l8. Treasury 27ss added l32d

NEW YORK, August T.-Con-
tinued nervousness over the question
of Government crop loans was evil
denced by sharp fluctuations in cotton
futures again today, with early ad-
vances followed by reactions and the
market closing barely steady at net
advances of / to points.
After showing net advances OF ID
to IA points the market fell back and
closed well under the best.
Reports of an increased business in
cotton cloths yesterday we're followed
by some trade buying here to fix prices,
and hedging was not greatly in evil
dence, with business otherwise at
tributed largely to evening up of COM
mitmentS pending an official loan an

The amount of cotton on shipboard
awaiting clearance at the end of the

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.

Reddy looked up sharply. who said
anything about your" he demanded.
IF I had wings as you have Winter
wouldn't bother me-"
Cav, cav. cawl" cried Blacky de-
risively. $50 you think q pair Of
wings is all that is needed to get an
easy living! Much you know about 1t.
If there Is any one who has to work
harder than I do to stay alive in
Winter I would like to meet him. I
would. indeed"
"Pooh!" exclaimed Reddy. What
do you know about hard times? You
have wings that take you long dis
tances in any direction. You have
sharp eyes with which to look down
as you fly. You can eat almost any
kind Of food. II you 60 hungry it
must be you own fault. I know I
wouldn't 60 hungry were I in your
place.
III you can't find food in one place
all you have to do is to spread your
wings and sail along until you find
1t in another. Now, have to travel
where travelling often is hard. Some
times have to wade in snow, and that
is very tiresome. Sometimes 1t is so
crusted and slippery that 1t Is hard to
get about at all, and usually useless,
for there is no digging down through
the crust to get at those below. You
don't have to do any wading or slip
ping. If you ask me, think you have
an easy time Of it."
Blacky fairly danced on the post.
Much you know about it," he fairly
screamed. True, I don't have to wade
in snow, and don't have to travel on
slippery crust, but If you think these
things are hard you should try to beat
your way against hard wind. You
should find yourself going backward
when you want to 60 forward, and
struggle until you feel as If your wings
would drop off,.
AS for eating any kind of food. it is
q case Of must. must have food to fly,
and I must fly to get food. The more
I fly the more food I must have, and
the more food must have the more I
must fly. You can dig down through
the snow to get q Mouse. can't dig.
When snow falls and covers every
thing, what chance has a poor Crow
unless those more fortunate than he
will share with him or he can pick up
some crumbs left by others? Don't
try to tell me that you know what
hard times are"

such as her Ruby Red or even her
Orange Oaker, but after all there's
happy compromise between being
stared at and not even being noticed,
so think perhaps I'll try her Sam
mon Silver then her Persimmon Pink,
what do you think, Willyum? and pop
said, I think I'd try Sammon Silver
on the left hand and Persimmon Pink
on the rite, and then I'd carefully
note which hand received the most
approving glances. and that's the tone
I'd vote for the following application.
That's preposterouS, ma said, and
pop said, Then I'll give you an even
more original ideer, and that Is to
show yourself in public with not

males. Ny deer, not q woman's eye

And that's just simply too impos-

THE coat Of arms here illustrated
is described: Argent, a Jesse
sable between three eagles displayed
gules." These arms were borne by
the immigrant Richard Leeds, who
came over from Great Yarmouth,
County Norfolk, England, and settled
in Dorchester, Mass, in 1887. The
arms Of the Leeds family of Yorkshire
are identical except for the coloring,
Argent, a Jesse gules between three
eagles displayed sable" The York
shire arms are, however. accompanied
by a crest, ION a staff displayed raguly
vert, cockatrice, wings endorsed or,
combed and waited gules."
The Leeds family in America, now
well scattered over various sections of
the country, was originally centered in
the New England States and in the
Province of New Jersey. The New
England Leeds were represented by
Richard, previously above mentioned;
by John, a mariner who came from
County Kent. England, to New London
Conn, in 1914, and by Thomas, who
lived in Duxbury, Mass, and later in
Windham, Conn.
The New Jersey pioneer settler was
Thomas, who established his home in
Shrewsbury, N. j., about 1871 He was
twice married, his second wife being
Margaret Collier, resident Of Marcus
Hook, Pa. His son Daniel, who came
to America with his father in 1877,
married Anne Stacy and lived in Bur-
lington, N. j. He was for a time a
member of the Society of Friends, but
after the death Of his second wife,
Dorothy Young, he denounced them
in a published pamphlet on their
theories and practices. Laniel Leeds
