Stock Market Coasts
Price Range Narrow;
Air|ines Active
BY the Assoeiofed Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 1s.-The stock
market dozed along in a narrow
price range today.
Air line stocks responded to mod
crate buying interest but elsewhere
1.-THE trend was obscure. Many key
stocks drifted back and forth be-
tween the plus and minus columns.
Business slowed almost immedi-
ately after an opening batch of
orders were disposed OF.
Interest in air line issues may
have been stimulated by a report
from National Airlines which dis
closed a net income in December,
as compared with net loss a year
earlier, despite a passenger load
factor of only 1886 per cent.
Among air carriers issues raised
were Pan American Airways, Amer
ican Airlines, United. Eastern and
Transcontinental g. Western.
Others ahead included Bethlehem
Steel, Chrysler, Firestone, Douglas
Aircraft, General Foods, American
Telephone, Standard Gas & Elec-
trio 81 preferred, Dow Chemical,
American Tobacco, Southern Pacific,
Northern Pacific, Standard Oil of
New Jersey and Paramount Pic
lures.
Trimmed a bit were United States
Steel, General Motors, Montgomery
Ward, Sears, Roebuck; American
Smelling, American Can. Du Pont,
Allied Chemical, Chesapeake & Ohio
and Gulf Oil.
Corporate bonds held steady, as
did United States Government is
sues in the over-the-counter market.
Good news to bond men was the
quick sell-out of Bethlehem's Steels

A new Rotary can washer has been
ordered to replace the one now
being used in the dairy rec Giving
room. In view Of the heavy expen-
cultures elr@Qdy made this year in
the dairy and ice cream depar tment
it vas hoped that the old washer
mi ht last until next spring; how
ever, the old machine has been very
temp ermental the past few months
and cannot be depended upon any
longer.
The new washer is q model just in
t duced by Cherry-Burrell last
month and is rGproscnta as the
most complete can washer on the
MARKET" 1t has q capacity Of $50
cans per hour and is designed with
many improvement over previous
models. This machine Will cost a.
bout q 100000 Installed.
Many people who are not familiar
with dairy operation think that all
one needs to get into the business
is a COW, a bucket, and bottle.
EQui piping a modern dairy plant
costs many thousands Of dollars.
Your Coop has many thousands in
vested and has plans for investing
moro. In the not-too-distant
future q new bottling machine and
cooler will be added to our plant
in anchorage to match the new bot
tie washer installed this summer.
We have on the ship at this time
new L-7 truck coming to replace the
fai thful old white maid which has
been due for retirement for some

grounds at the East kibby street

At a meeting last week the fair

display space has been sold and
concession accommodations are ex-
hausted
At the meeting last week the fair
board granted permission for the
Delphos Chamber of Commerce to
use fair equipment during a corn
festival to be held there the last
week in September. No charge will
be made for use of the equipment.
