H|GH-GRADE BONDS
SHOW STEAD|NESS
Tone of U. S. Government
Issues Also Reflects
Strong Support.
BY G. A. PHILLIPS,

Associated HIeSS NllAcls
NEW YORK, August 15.-A steady
undertone in high-grade corporate
and Government issues provided a
bright spot in an otherwise colorleSs
bond market today.
Changes in all groups were narrow
and the small turnover of S3.6l6,000,
par value, atteSted the absence from
the financial community of many
traders and others who ordinarily
interest themselves in the loan market.
The Associated Press average of 10
low-yield bonds advanced i of a
point to 111.9, or within a of a point
of the 1886 high. Other domestic
groups used in the compilation were
unchanged to i Of point lower.
The 10 foreign bonds averaged i of
a point higher, largely as a result
of an advance of l1s points in Ger
many Is.
While sales in the Government
section totaled less than S500,000 most
of the active Treasures ended the
week around recently established
peaks. Gains ranged from one
thirty-Second Of a point to three
thirty y-SecondS. Longer term ma
turtles were favored over others.
Corporate bonds holding their own
or showing small gains included New
England Telephone SIS at l26, Union
Pacific As at 1l434, Northern Pacific
6s at Ill, Baltimore & Ohio 6s at 999s
Erie As at SO, Hudson & Manhattan
5s at 1875, Hanati Sugar tbs at A.
Allegheny stamped IS at 66ia and
American Water Works 6s at ITO.
On the losing side were a sprinkling
of utilities as well as other claSsifi-
cations.

HENRY CRADY'S ADVICE

Henry H. Grady, the great Southern
editor and orator, died as years ago, but
the advice he gave to the farmers of his
native Georgia and the South many years
ago is as sound today as it was when it
was uttered.
One particular gem of his which has
been often republished is of particular
significance just now. It applies equally
to North or South, provided the principal
money crop of any particular section be
substituted for cotton" where it occurs in
the original. Grady said:
when every farmer in the South
shall eat bread from his own fields and
meat from his own pastures, and disturbed
by no creditor and enslaved by no debt,
shall sit among his teeming gardens and
orchards and vineyards and diaries and
barnyards. pitching his crops in his own
wisdom and growing them in independ-
ence, making cotton his clean surplus and
selling it in his own time and in his chosen
market and not at a masters bidding
getting hi pay in cash and not in re-
ceipted mortgage that discharges his debt
but does not restore his freedom-then
shall be breaking the fullness of our day."

ON GOING TO CHURCH

Naturally, most of us are religious
ganized religious group. We should be af-
filiated with the religious organization
that expresses our own religious ideals, if
possible. We should identify ourselves
with the church that seems to us to be the
best for the development and strengthen
ing of our own faith. nos, sr,oY
There are, in Key West as everywhere
else, scoffers who sit on the sidelines and
relate the defects of individual members
of the churches. They find excuse for
their own absence from organized religion
in the lack of perfection that is commonly
exhibited by the members of any church.
They do not belong to church, they say,
because they are not good enough, or be-
cause they are not hypocrites, like certain
individuals they mention.
These reasons, it seems to us, are not
so weighty. They are usually the ex-
pressiOns of those who have, in their own
minds, a conviction that being in a church
will interfere with the lives that they lead.
1t would seem to us that any individual
could find church group from which to
draw inspiration for better life if that is
desired.
Members of churches are not perfect.
In fact, many of them are bitterly aware of
imperfections. They seek-the majority
of them-to live better lives and look to
religion to supply strength as we'll as in
SEPARATION. Millions of men and women
testify that this is the truth, so far as they
are concerned, whether it is so with others
or not.
Organized religion has done much to
improve human existence 1t has gradually
broadened the horizon of men and women,
developed thesspirit of human brotherhood
and generated in many hearts an abiding
love for humanity. True enough these
same results have been accomplished,
often CROUCH, outside of organized religion
but such instances are the exception and
not the rule With all allowance for
criticism an individual. in most AmericaY
communities, will be running with the best
people of his race when he attaches him.

ganized supporter of religion as a great
factor in human life.
