CALL OF THE CITY

tal4l Of lhE III
A new angle to the perennial
scrap between the little town
and the big city has ben I'M
covered by the Tolsn committee
investigating defense migration.
Small business men in the little
towns are complaining that the
state employment agencies,
given the job Of recruiting
skilled labor for the defense
plants. move in to sign up all
the good garage mechanics. car
penters, metal workers or what
have they. The small towns then
have 10 replace these migrants
by recruiting semi-skilled Jacks
of all trades from the farms,

ties of the 1900 local employ
ment services of the state sys-
TENS. but since there is no fed
sral control, which the Tolan
committee is now recommending,
the state organizations set the
policy, and these state programs
differ widely. Raids by one

working forces OF neighboring
state start all kinds of rows.
Oregon, fearful that she will
lose too much of her labor, is
doing everything possible to per-
suade workers to stay in the
home state.
AT Hastings. Neb., a Tolan
committee investigator heard
one resident declare that the
drain of young women from the
town to take defense jobs in
larger cities was worse loss
than the departure of the men.
Experience has shown that while
the men workers tended to re-
turn TO the small towns eventu-
ally. the percentage of young
women coming back WAS negh-

BY constant improvement in both freight
and passenger service between the Caro-
lilas and the north and the south, the Sea-
board Railway has been able to benefit all
communities along its right of way. In the
following of this plan, the Seaboard Rail-
way has gained Il reputation for being
the first to provide the latest and most
modern innovations in rail transportation.
Through the aid of Seaboard's Industrial
Department, many new industries have been
located in the C~arolinas in recent years. This
has resulted in investments totalliny millions.

such great difficulty in getting en-

sent to the White House yesterday,
a provision that the overall cost of

Chicago Grain
~ the Associated Press.

Ay the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Wheat prices
tried to advance further early to-
day but ran into profit taking, hedg-
ing sales and adjustment of ac-
counts selling that weakened the
market, causing quotations to skid
downward as much as cent BUSH
el. Corn and other grains also de-
clined.
Some of the weakness of wheat
was attributed to tagging flour de-
n1and, following recent heavy pur-
chases, uncertainty about farm pro-
gram developments in Washington
and likelihood of increased country
offerings as prices approach loan
levels. Traders said that at some
points in the Southwest wheat is
selling at or slightly above Govern
ment loan rates. A statement at
tributed to the price administrator
that he did not expect farm prices
TO rise to the high levels provided
for minimum ceilings under present
legislation attracted attention.

Scattered Stocks Up
In Irregular and
Narrow Market
Many Potential Buyers
Await More News of
Sea Conference
By VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Scattered
favorites managed to make moderate
recovery headway in today's stock
market but the buying track still
was too muddy for either speed or
distance.
While selling dried up at the start,
bidding was of decidedly timid
character, and, at the close of the
brief proceedings, fractional gains
and losses were seen in most de-
partments.
The two-hour turnover of around
100000 shares was one of the small
est for the past year and COM
pared with lilo last Saturday.
Many potential purchasers, brok-
ers said, decided to hold their cash
pending the return of President
Roosevelt from his sea conferences
with Prime Minister Churchill and
the possible revelation that there
was more TO the talks than set
forth in the joint 8-point policy
statement.
The domestic business scene, brok-
ers said, had lot to recommend it
to bullish forces, but there were
flaws even here. particularly in the
matter of historically soaring taxes.
No great comfort was taken from
the Inauguration of gasoline ration
ing in Eastern Seaboard States and
petroleum stocks virtually were at
standstill.
United States Steel, Bethlehem
and Youngstown Sheet acted a bit
better, partly, it was thought, be-
cause of the belief of some the steels
might have been oversold notwith-
standing the threatening scrap
shortage situation.
Up occasionally were General
motors, N. Y. Central, Pennsylvania,
Chesapeake & Ohio, Montgomery
Ward, General Electric, Celanese,
Anaconda, Goodyear, Western Union
and North American.
Grain and cotton futures, only
major commodities dealt in today,
were narrowly mixed. Bonds were
mostly in arrears.

The Federal Home Loan Bank re-
ported today that building and loan
association members are adding
more of their earnings to the build
ing up of reserves and undivided
profits.
The proportion of income used for
dividend payments has declined, as
more associations reduce their divi-
dend rates in line with present
trends in the money markets, the
article says.
Whereas II per cent of their
combined net income was paid out
as dividends in 1898, an average of
73 per cent was distributed in 1910.
On the other hand, 24.1 per cent of
their net income was set aside to
reserves and undivided profits in the
year as compared with 1877 per cent
In 1888, the report says.
