Philadelphia Record. The stock ticker in Wall street is no longer the barometer of business and in dustrial conditions. That state of af fairs has come about gradually since the establishment of the federal Re serve system, which has supplanted the old concentration of the country’s bank funds, in New York, giving the Stock Exchange the first enll on money. The Federal Reserve system, directed from Washington, and not New York, met the financial requirements of the great war with compVte success. and the enormous business and industrial ex pansion in the United States during and since-, the war lias rested upon the adequacy and soundness of its national finances. If AA’all street lias been bine, in sym pathy with the losses of heavy specula tors in oil stocks, the general spirit of business has been optimistic. It is true that the groat oil producers are appre hensive. One of them says that ."iO per cent, of the entire production comes from only 1 1-2 per cent, of the pro ducing wells. He also jioints out that in recent years the principal demand has been for gasoline for automobiles and for lubricants, and he.urges an aggros sive and intelligent campaign for the development of apparatus for fonsump tion. of oil products and to secure a wider use of oil as a fuel wherever il can be done advantageously. August’s records in business, in the main, were satisfactory, notwithstand ing the menace of the coal strike in the i anthracite fields. Reports to the Fed oral Reserve Bank of Philadelphia indi cate retail sales for the month consider ably more than the sales for .Tilly, oi for August of last year, aud also a con tinuation of these satisfactory condi tions into September. The interpreta tion -of these large retail sales is that labor is pretty fully employed at high wages. The freight movement continues heavy on the railroads. The buying | power is in the community. and as stocks of merchandise dimish they are replenished, a rather cautious proceed ing. but one still in vogue, even with business going along on even keel, prices in most cases being firm and slightly higher. There is unevenness in business as ■ the fall season opens. according to Dun’s review of the week. AVhile cur rent transactions are heavy in the ag gregate. new demands in some channels are restricted because requirements were largely covered ahead during the noteworthy commercial revival of earlier months this year. Deliveries on these contracts srre meeting the immediate needs of consumers in many cases, and there is not the same incentive for active purchasing with depleted supplies of goods replenished. A reassuring is the maintenance of a conservative policy and the disposition to avoid unwhole some expansion. In the Pittsburgh - steel market, out side of a movement in tinplate, the buy ing of steel products has fallen off in , the past, week or 10 days. Prices, how ' ever, have been well maintained. Sev eral large independent manufacturers of tinplate out of the quarter, on the basis ' of recent rates. | Irregular changes continued in cotton las tli? week closed. Lierpool yielding j to the selling pressure in the American j markets. AA’ith the steady upward trend in the staple it is seen that there must !be a readjustment of prices on Severn’ I varieties of cotton, goods. Although the 1 raw products costs about 0 cents a , pound more than last year, the highest rise in finished goods has been 4 3-4 cents a yard. Dress ginghams are only 2 1-2 cents above last year's price. In wool the market show a much bettor tone, manufacturers making inquiry and buying in fair quantities. Gables from the London wbol auction report stronger 1 competition aud withdrawals less fre i quent- President AVood. of the Ameri can AA’oolen Company, is quoted as say . ing: ‘‘American Woolen has never puss led its dividend. Our business situation I moves in sympathy with other lines of business. The weather has favored the I retailers, and that is a good omen. I I continue to feel optimistic.” Goverument report show a falling off !in grain exports of $211,000,000. com , i>ared with the same month last year. In the Chicago market September and Alay corn went to a new high level for the season. The reports indicating more serious damage to corn through frost and excessive rains aided in the buying movement in face of the fact that 4000 or 5000. cars or grain of all kinds arc due in Winnipeg for today’s market. Wheat closed slightly higher in sym pathy with bullish sentiment on corn. MEN WILL BE YOUNG AT 100. HE ASSERTS Expert Predicts Long Life in the Future Through Glandular Treatment. New York. Sept. 26. —One hundred years eventually will be regarded as an infant age when ,glandular treatment becomes better known. Dr. Wm. Held. :>f Chicago, declared today on his return from abroad after three months study of that science. He worked with Dr. Abderhalder. a leading European glandular specialist. Dr. Held has ar ranged to ship several chimpanzees to (’llu agO to aid him in his research. “Alen can live to a great age.” Dr. Held said, “our present knowledge of cellular activity and glandular function has brought to our understanding, with accuracy never before attained, the causes of premature old age*, senility., arteriosclerosis, epilepsy, high id a.d* pressure and disease in general. By removing the poison eh Min from tl*C system, he added, physicians now are highly successful ill the treatment of high blood pressure and the tram of svmptoms whieh follow. After glandular treatment, he said, the hair of three of his patients which had turned while re gnimd its normal color. How rapidly the eliol in-forming habits lieu ad vanced, he said, would determine tlm eqestion of how long a rejuvenated patient would remain in that state. “R-ed” Powell Marries Mi*s Selma Fountain. Richmond, A r a., Sept. 26.—Robert El lis Powell, newspaper man, 20, of Ra leigh, took out license here today to mar ry Aliss Seelma Fountain, 22, of the same city. - Powell described himself as a native of AVhiteville, N. G. Aliss Foun tain was recorded as being originally from Pitt county. The marriage was performed this evening. Airs. Annie Bairy returned Tuesday from Charleston, S- C., where she has been- visiting relatives for some time. UNDERWOOD HASN’T HELPED HIS CAUSE Southern Democrats Think His Side tracking the League of Nations an Unwise Move. Special to Greensboro News. Washington. Sept. 2<>.—The consen sus of opinion among southern Dem ocrats at the capital is that Senator Underwood in side-tracking the league of nations as an issue in the approaching campaign has Hot materially improved his chances for the nomination bv liis party for President. The senator "haracterizes the league as merely a niece of machinery but southern Dem ocrats are saying that it is the only yilan for world peace that has been offered and if it will no longer, in the senator’s •pinion, serve the purpose for which it was created, he should propose a sub stitute. He merely, says the Republican have done nothing to accomp’ish world pence, and something must be done hut he does not say what it should be. But it is the opinion here that he evidently no longer believes in the league. It is said here that the Democratic party as a whole is undoubtedly di vided as to the value of the league and its efficiency to bring about world peace hut the southern Democracy is still pr >- eague and will not support any man for the nomination who is not. Mr. Underwood must be nominated before he can possibly be elected and his nomi nation depends entirely upon the strength he can bring to the convention f rom the south. He must muster behind him enough delegates rom Dixie to rally northern and western delegates to him when tin* break occurs in the ranks of hose supporting other candidates, i It is believed by some warm admir ers of the Alabama senator that he has made a tactical blunder in expressing himself as he has. eoncering the league •it this time. Until he lifts a plan to abandon the only plan that is,’ they. hold. COMMUNITY TIRE FACTORY MAY BE LOCATED HERE AA T ord has been received that The Paul Rubber Co|, of Salisbury, X. C., origina tors of Tin* Paul System Community Tire Factories, may select this city as quo of the several points in which they will establish local plnats in this state. The Paul System Community Tire Factory marks a new step in the Tire Industry. A great tire engineer of Ak ron. Ohio, working with the co-operation of The Paul Rubber Go., has perfected ■i small plant for building tires whieh turns out a product said to lie equal in every respect to the product of the larg est factories. These small Community Factories will be established in every state. Each factory becoming a unit of the nation-wide system and each plant licensed to make the famous Clover Leaf Cord Tires which The Paul Rubber Co. will continue to advertise nationally. The Paul Rubber Co. will supply all materials to these plants at low prices, install all machinery, furnish trained men. and in fact co-operate in every pos sible way to insure the largest success. And yet each plaut will be completely nvned and operated by local people. These Paul Community Tire Factor ies require a total investment of only $7,500 to $15,000, and the local maker has a market right at his door that will greatly exceed his capacity. The advant ages to the ear owner in buying locally made tires areljuickly appreciated. One can see his tires made, get fresh new stock with the full life of the rubber in every tire, have adjustments made fairly and quickly, and of course, obtain the finest tires at lower prices.. : At the same time the investment will be most attractive to the local Tire Alak ;er. His small plant will turn out 20 to .40 tires a day, and on the compara tively small investment required, sur prisingly large profits can be earned. Umbrella Borrowing a Business. Brussels, Sept. 26. —Brussels is be lieved to be the only city in the world which has a well-organized uinbrella borrowing bureau. The annual sub scription is low, but if every umbrella user were to join such a society, its in come would be enormous. Each member, on paying liis subscrip tion, receives a token, usually of metal stamped with an index number, which lie carries in his pocket instead of an umbrella in his hand. AVhen caught by the rain, all he has to do is to go to one of the big stores, and hand over the token, to be immediately provided with an umbrella. AVhen the rain ceases the borrowed deposits his umbrella in the next agency he happens to pass, and in exchange receives another token.

Selecting clothes for men is an inborn art—at least, so we are told. Blushingly then, we recite here for your information the following happening:— After he had penciled down our order for the Fall Suits that are here to-day the R. & W. lepresentative turned back in his order book and showed us that we had chosen the identical same patterns and models as did a leading New York clothier whom it is rumored pays his buyer $25,000 a year for knowing the right from the left.

New Fall Hats Browns - Cannon Co. Where You Get Your Money’s Worth , H. C- PAYNE CHARGED WITH .ATTACK ON GIRL Mrs. Ruth Davis Charges He Tried to Assault Her at ()•' Henry Hole!. Greensboro News. Harry (’. Payne, of AVaynesville, a traveling salesman, was arrested short ly before midnight last night at the O. Henry hotel and in default of a $5.- 000 bond was lodged in the city jail on a charge of an attempted criminal as sault on Airs. Ruth Harris, of Hunting ton. AY. A’a.. in his room at , the O. Henry. Airs. Harris was taken to the county jail, tin* police said for* safe keeping. I She is the state’s principal witness in I the cast*, which probably will be called l this morning in municipal court. I According' to the story Airs. Harris | told the police Payne was in her room early last evening and suggested that as he had some brandy in his room she visit him later in the evening and get a drink. She went to his room, she said, and . had been there but a short time when I he attacked her- She tried to defend herself, she declared, but was helpless. I All her clothes were torn from her body she said and she was severely beaten about the face and chocked by Payne, who police officers said, was drunk or drinking heavilly. Roomers nearby Payne's room were aroused by the wo man's screams for help and called the police. Police Officers Vaugnin and Taylor, responding to the call, went to the O. Henry and found Payne in his room in scanty attire. The oman had been stripped of her clothes and according to the officers was in a serious condition from the beating she had received. She was bleeding freely from her hurts, ac cording to the officers, who carried her clothes and the bed clothes to the police office. They were literally covered with blood. Airs. Harris, who tool the police that she is the wife of a traveling man was described, by ‘the police, as young and pretty. The officers said that she ap parently is between 18 and 20 years of age and is small, weighing about 100 pounds. Payne refused to make any statement other than that he was a traveling man and tJiat he was trapped into the affair. He apparently is about 30 years of age and is a big man. Apple rust cannot live without red cedar trees. The moral then is to cut out the cedars within a mile of valuable orchards, says horticulaural workers at the State College and Department of Ag riculture. Alountain cabbage will soon bo on the market in the form of succulent kraut. This is a new co-operative enterprise promoted by workers of the Agricultural Extension Service. Yes. We Have No Preserves. T\ith the fanning and preserving sea son nearing its dose, many housewives find themselves without their customary supplies of jellies and coservos because the price of sugar combined with the high cost of fruits has made these lit te luxuries economically prohibitive. While sugar has been selling for the last several weeks at 8 1-2 Cents a pound retail, compared with 10 and 11 cents earlier in the summer—before the time for canning and preserving—this figure was still too high to justify a large use of sweetening in the making of jellies, jams, and conserves. The effect of the profiteers’ tariff on sugar isto be observed even in the pre sent price of 8 1-2 cents. The duty of 1.7648 cents a pound on Cuban raw sugar becomes 2 cents a pound by the time it reaches the consumer. The re tail price of sugar, were the tariff and the pyramiding not included, would be only 6 1-2 cents a pound instead of 8 1-2 cents a pound. Storm Warnings l T p From Charleston to Key West. Washington, Sept. 26.—Hurricane warnings were ordered displayed tonight by the weather bureau between Savan nah, (la., and Jupiter Inlet, Florida. Storm warnings also were ordered up from Charleston, S. C., to Kev West. Fla. The tropical disturbance, discovered 'over the Old Bahamas Channel Tuesday, has passed to the vicinity of Great Abaco Island. Bahama, and apparently is moving slowly northwestward, the bu reau reported tonight and radio mes sages went forth during the day advis ing vessels off the south Atlantic coast to exercise every precaution. Npmul Wantn Liquor. N York, Sept- 25.—William C. Spend, former Governor of Pennsyl vania, on his arrival from Europe on the I eviathan, today, said he favored a modification of the Volstead act, but hoped never to see a return to public saloons. Mr. Sproul said the laws governing the handling of medicnal liquors should be less stringent. He declared be would like to see a plan worked out whereby “people of social instinct” might obtain moderate supplies of Jjquor within the law. An ambitious scheme for a giant light house of the most modern type, to be erected as a . memorial to Columbus, was put forward at the recent meeting of the I'an-American Congress. The island of San Domingo is the site proposed for the memorial.
