 So. despite it's own governments claims, Nicoya seeded and became part of Costa Rica in 1924.

 There Rides the Majestic!
 So we ran to the end of the road, stood on the banks of the Kanawha River. and looked. There was the Majestic, sitting in the river, neat as you please.
 Captain Reynolds, can come on board"
 Sure, but don't fall off the gang-plank on the way up." he says, laughing.
 Did you ever see a showboat? If you have seen one you know she Is long and fiat-bottomed and she squats on top of the water like a duck. If you've seen a real showboat you'll understand the old saying, that "river boats dis race so little water they could sroot across the fields on heavy morning dew"
 Over Heads in Work
 If you don't believe it, <. take a look at this one-Capt. T.. J. Rev. holds Majestic, anchored opposite Point Pleasant, W. Va.
 "oh, Lord, but we're busy" says the captain. "We had to clean the whole boat, get out all the beds and furniture, fix up the rooms. and finish painting all the decks. We've used 40 gallons of paint all ready, white, orange and black"
 It is busy time, and if you want to see this boat, be careful that you don't step into a can of paint. The Majestic showboat is 26 feet wide, 120 feet long, and 4 feet deep, planned and built by Captain Reynolds himself. Tickets? Popcorn?

Then the Calliope!

On the roof of the steambooat. placed in honor, as it should be, is the calliope. Without wishing to insult the royal calliope. you might say that its pipes look like tin cans with empty spools on top at cans, arranged in two rows like MT. Ford's VS engines.
 At one end is a small piano key- board. You press key, the key pulls a wire, the wire opens the top of one of the cans-and thar she blows.
 Kids along the shore all come running when they hear it. and they can name any boat without looking, by the sound of the calliope. "oh, you beautiful showpoat! Captain Reynolds, can I ride along when she goes up the river ?"
 No reply. The captain goes on with his work. Two hour later-no reply. The captain goes on with his work.
 Much later than that-no reply. The Cook Says 0. K. Finally he comes at me with a l twinkle in his eye.
 T don't know where I'll put you" he says. 'there are no more beds. The only place would be with Anna. the cook. You run around and ask her if it's all right"
 Yes, it's all right. Anna is very generous, and says may share her room; if don't mind, she don't.

AWAITS RULING
Further Rise in Junior Bonds
Held Dependent on
Gold Decision.
BIZ Times SpeciGL

By Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. $50 vulumi-
nous are becoming the excess re-
serves of the Federal Reserve banks,
which now are at their peak level
of approximately $4,000, 100000, that
the ease they are contributing to
the money market is expected to be
translated into still higher prices
for bonds.
Price betterment for fixed income
securities, however, it is conceded
in all quarters, is dependent upon
a Supreme Court decision uphold
ing the constitutionality of the
controversial statute abrogating the
gold clause in contracts.
In the event of the removal of
uncertainties restricting price
ments, investment and speculative
demand, it is believed, will be CEN
tered in the lower-priced interme-
diary bonds and in selected second
airy obligations.
Prompting this opinion, it was
pointed out, is the fact that high
grade corporate liens are selling
above their call prices in many in
stances, with yields currently at
their lowest levels, averaging close
to 334 per cent.
Contributing to the expansion of
the banks excess reserves, indicat-
ing the plethora of idle funds seek
ing an investment outlet, are the
heavy governmental expenditures
and large inflow of gold from
abroad during recent weeks.
Bullion imports, incidentally,
have pushed deposits of the 10 New
York Clearing House banks to
within 100000 of the record
reached on Nov. 9, 1929, when there
we're "a banks in the association.
