New York Exchange
Considers Trying
Farm System
Would InstuII Mutual
Aid Pact Among
Organized Morts
By the Associated press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE New
York Stock Exchange has long
range plans for what amounts to a
farm system" embracing most of
the country's smaller exchanges,
similar in many respects to farms"
now maintained by major league
baseball teams, sources close to the
exchange report.
They pointed out the big board is
as much in need Of new talent" as
big league teams were years ago
when the farm idea was being pro-
mulgated. Substitute new security
issues for new stars, and the situ-
alton is almost identical, it was
said.
The proposed system is viewed as
a sort of mutual aid pact among
organized exchanges. One aim will
be to sell American industry on the
advantages of listing. Local ex-
changes will be the proving ground
for local issues, in line with the
pattern laid down by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The
big board" in turn, is expected to
help smaller markets line up pros
poets.
Good Business for Exchange.
This would be good business for
the New York exchange, sinse some
local companies grow up to be con-
Germs with a national business.
When that point is reached, the
stock would move into "big time" on
the New York exchange.
This drafting" idea is expected by
some brokers to prove a stumbling
block. Smaller exchanges may say,
why should New York get the
benefit of all the development work
we have done?"
AS an offset, the management of
the stock exchange can point out
that its prestige would be directly
involved in many listings on out
of-toWn marts. The financial CEN
ter sold the listing idea in the
first place, and, therefore, would
De enCltled 10 some reward later,
the argument goes.
Split Commissions Suggested.
A more direct effort to make
the cooperative idea attractive to
smaller exchanges, it was suggested,
might be attempted in the form Of
split commissions.
The moving force behind the
projected program, brokers said,
has been the dwindling volume of
security. trading on organized ex-
changes during the past decade.
Stock transactions on the big board
last year, for instance, were smaller
than any year since 1924. Bond
turnover was the smallest in 81
years.

COURTLAND YOUTH
BROWNS In RIVER
BROTHER OF WABASSO
MAN VICTIM OF
MINNESOTA SUNDAY

Leo Koreis, 18, a brother Of
Herbert Koreis who lives near
Wabasso, drowned in the Mime
sofa river near CORTLAND Sunday
afternoon.
The CORTLAND youth, sopho-
more at New Ulm High school,
was seized with cramps while
swimming with five other young
men and sank with barely a
struggle before aid could reach
him. The tragedy occurred at
4:30 p. m, but it was 1914 p. m.
before the body was recovered.
Donald Drill, one of the group,
said all of the boys swan across
the river, which is about so feet
wide at the point and that they
were swimming back when the
drowning occurred.
81 was just few feet from
being all the way across" said
Drill, "when l looked back and
saw Leo sort of dive down.
''He stayed under a lot longer
than l knew he could stand, but
all of a sudden he came up again.
"But he didn't come all the
way up. Just the top of his head
showed, and he went down again,
and stayed there. He never said
a thing"
Drill said the boys tried to find
Leo, but couldn't locate the body.
The river is about IA feet deep
there.
Henry Poehler, father of one of
the swimmers, Wilbert Poehler,
and Peter Karr were fishing in
the river nearby and fastened to
the spot when they heard the boys
shouting.
Erwin Koreis, brother of the
drowned boy, also was fishing
nearby, and fastened into Court
land to tell his father, who was
at home in his apartment over the
bank.
Mr.. Koreis called for help from
New Ulm, and stoically waited in
the meantime for the return of
his wife, who was at New Ulm
and st. George decorating GENET
cries.
When she returned Mrs. Koreis
Joined her family to 60 to the
river banks, to await the end of
the hunt for her boy.
After a kittenball game earlier
in the afternoon the boys stopped
at a CORTLAND place for ice cream
and then went swimming. With
Leo were his brother Hillard
Koreis, Lorenz Viking and Will
lard Ginkel, as well as Drill and
Poehler.
Several hundred people lined
the banks of the river for more
than 500 feet on either side as
the New Ulm fire department
and volunteers conducted the
search. The body was brought
up with hooks about 200 feet
downstream from where the boy
had gone down.
