HOGS STEADY TO 10 CENTS HIGHER
BULLISH MOVE IS RESUMED IN •STOCK MARKET Bank Rates Are Cause of New Upswing. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocUs for Thursday was 150.30. Off 3.13 Average price of twenty rails for Thursday was 105.70. off .93. Bv United Press NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—Bullish enthusiasm was revived by news that neither London nor Philadelphia had changed existing bank rates. The motors were once again in urgent demand and assumed the leadership of the advance as a group although United States Steel was in the forefront with 1% point advance to 130%. Gains of a point and more were quite common in the industrial group and frantic covering operations by the bewildered shouts gave momentum to the advance. Prices strengthened in the general /list around noon, notwithstanding dß*e pressure on the motors which Hudson to anew low on the move at 96 off 1% and Chrysler to 196%, off 3%, The general improvement was due to impressive buying on the rails which were taken up in the belief that they were technically sounder than industrials. C. & O. was a feature of outstanding strength, running up 3 points, to the highest price on record, 116%. Local Bank Clearings —Nov. 19— Indianapolis bank clearing's for today totaled $2 967.000. Debits for today amounted to $6,063,000.
In the Sugar Market
By Thomson & McKinnon NEW YORK. Nov. 19.—Although beneficial rains are reported from Cuba and the London market shows no disposition to advance, the removal of hedges and speculative short covering has held the future market relatively firm. With raws available In limited quantities at 2 Vic and a tendency to (lower refined prices, however, we do not anticipate for the immediate future that advances in the futures will be maintained and would suggest profit-taking on all bulges.

Judge Garvin fined Murphy $lO and costs and suspended the fine on payment of costs. However. Murphy, unable to get anyone to stay his fine, was forced to go to Jail. ,T udge Gar via said he <?id not give Murphy a sentence because of his physical condition.

RATE MAKING BELL FIGURE NOT FAR OFF Depreciated Value of Phone Property Given as $28,000,000. ■Wading through a maze of calculations, so complex that even the ex perta stumbled, the public service commission was nearing the figure which will be used to determine whether the Indiana Bell Telpohne Company is entitled to any rate increases or must continue to operate under present relief rates fixed in Federal Court. Edward W. Bemis, Chicago, chief of the engineering firm which appraised Bell properties, today quoted $23,502,’18.46 as the depreciated value of the Indiana Bell Telephone Company's properties, exclusive of toll lines. Rating the depreciated reproduction cost, new, of toll lines in excess of $4,000,000, Bemis’ total would be about $28,000,000. After adidng to this his estimates on working capital and going value, Bemis Friday will give his estimate of the fair value of the company for rate-mak-ing purposes. The undepreciated cost, new, of exchange properties he gave as s2B,* 982,371.92, which would indicate that present equipment of the company is approximately 20 per cent under standard. Cost of Exchange The unprecedented cost, new, of the Indianapolis exchange, he gave as $15,123,461.60, as against sl2,* 625,704.45 depreciated. Bemis’ depreciated reproduction cost, new, has arrirved at after adding 8 per cent for structural overhead and applying the depreciation rate, which was not disclosed. After adding going value and working capital to the depreciated reproduction cost, new, the rate making valuation of the company will be determined hy the commission. Indications are that the best the commission can do is authorize a continuation of the present relief rates, if denying the company's petition for increases of about $600,000 a year. Poles Decayed Bemis said some poles of the Bell Company were so decayed that a scrawdrlver could be thrust into them to the handle, besides being extremely dangerous. Bemis said he had appraised telephone properties in Chicago, New York City, Washington, St. Paul, Peoria and a number of other large cities since 1890, when he entered the engineering field, the city hail t oay. and bgkfpqj I. E. Dischinger, appraisal engineer, has placed the reproduction cost new of the Beil property at $32,214,961.24, including $26,446,538.38 as exchange property and $5,768,422.86 as toll. The Bell Company, it is expected, will hold out for a low depreciation figure and the commission will insist on a high percentage. Their difference in viewpoint is expected to represent about $10,000,000 in the final rate-making valuation.
KLAN FLAYED DY DEMOCRATS (Continued From Page 1) tion called the Ku-Klux Klan that gives out certificates >f Americanism for $lO, I believe It is. My ancestors came to this country before the Revolutionary War, and until two years ago I had regarded myself as an American. "I was told by a Klansman the other day that now the Klan had cleaned up the Republican party, it was coming over and clean up the Democratic party. I Replied that as the fruits of that cleansing we have a Stephenson and an Orbison, and we don't need that sort of cleansing.” , State Chairman Walter Chambers presided. More than 100 were present. State Senator Joseph Cravens of Madison made a plea for strong candidates in the coming senatorial election. He also pleaded for support of a Democratic State paper. Judge Herdis F. Clements, Mt. Vernon, Ind., said it is time for the party to get back to the principles of Jefferson, Madison and Wilson. In particular he dwelt on Jefferson’s Ijoast he was the author qf the statute for religious freedom In Virginia, and of the Declaration of Independence. ‘ The Declaration of Independence says all me are created equal, and I believe that,” shouted Judge Clements. “When It come that a man arises who say 'I am the law’ it is time for a revival of old principles!” Cheers and warwhoops lasting two minutes greeted this. Clements was mentioned’ as a possible senatorial candidate. Holtzman said he had been told the Klan intends to put a full Judicial ticket in the field in Mariofl County In the 1926 election. Lawrence Henly, newly elected mayor of Richmond, who said he was on the Klan blacklist there, also spoke. ,“I believe with Judge Clements about the calibre of our candidates. Judge Orbison will not do, however, as he will make Republicans out of us.” Mrs. John W. Kern, wife of the late Senator .declared. “We have been pussyfooting long enough, and it’s time to take a stand!” Mrs. Kern said the party made a mistake In the city election by not coming out sharply on the Klan and other Issues and giving Republicans a chance to vote for Myers. ,'We want the Republican votes but we don’t want the Klan—except as Individuals, repenting,” she said. A letter was read from Thomas Taggart, veteran Democartlc lesMer, expressing his regret at not being able to attend. He said he was getting ’’some repairs made” which would enable him to enter the campaig nln 1926. and help place Indiana In* the Democratic column. Taggart stressed the Importance of early organization In his* communication. "

A Black Bear in t lie New York Zoo
Ar— "j MONO the four-footed inhabitants of the wilderness there Is none that is better known or more interesting to people of all ages than the bear, nor is there one that is so generally misunderstood, or about which so many things are said and believed that are not true. In common with many flesh-eaters, the bear has suffered in reputation from stories which greatly exaggerated his ferocity and ascribe to him many evil qualities he not possess. The hear is naturally timid, goodnatured, and unoffensive. Instead of seeking man in order to devour him, the bear displays the greatest astuteness in his efforts to avoid man. But he is not a coward. He is fully conscious of his strength and when occasion arises he never fails to defend himself. Like a true gentlemen, the bear tries to avoid trouble, but when his peaceful efforts fail he fights savagely. Appears Clumsy In appearance the bear is a clumsy creature. The middle of his back is the highest point of his body. He has a short neck, round head, pointed muzzle, and small eyes. His legs are stout and he walks "plantigrade,’’ or flat-footed, like a man. The soles of his feet are bare. Each foot has fiVe toes, armed with long stout claws which are not retractile —that is, they cannot be drawn back into a sheath like those of a cat. His hair Is long and shaggy

By Ra der Win get IJ' '"I OG receipts at the Indlan--111 spoils Livestock Exchange 1 show a loss of more than 544,000 swine for 1925, over the cor responding period last year, according to figures compiled by the Daily Live Stock Journal official organ of the exchange. Speculation Is rampant as tothe cause ofthe deficiency. Arthur Sanders ofthe Joe S. Taylor Commission Company, believes the low prices paid for hogs In 1924 discouraged farmers from raising pigs this year. Consequently there is an acute shrinkage In the total receipts. - The price of corn played a large part in determinging farmers to shift from hogs- to some other line of work. The value of corn last year was rather high afid most of ‘the farmers sold their com at a profit rather than use it as feed. * When they decided to change from raising hogs to some other line they sold tne greater part of their brood sows. Later when high prices were paid for hogs the farmers were not in a position to re-enter the field. A heavy run of hogs Is forecast |for the next season by W. A. Sutphin of the Producers Association. "High prices paid this year for swine will be a big factor In compelling farmers to raise hogs,” says Sutphin. Corn Is cheap and farmers will save their corn rather than sell at Ia loss. Large broods of pigs can be raised and fed with the corn on | hand. The outlook next season is for large runs of hogs. “Hogs have to bring ten time* the cost of the corn fed before they show a profit,” la an old adage of the farmers. If this old saying holds true fanners can make a handsome profit by selling their swine at $lO. The trucking division of the local Livestock Exchange approached their record for material handled When receipts for Nov. 17 were 6,700 hogs. The record was establish Dec. 3, 1925, when the run totaled 8,901. Wednesday’s receipts slumped when the run amounted to only 2,200 hogs. ONLY THIRTY-ONE ' MORE SHOPPING DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS. Figures on shopping days until Christmas seem rather premature, but the advice “Do Your Shopping parly,” cannot be ignored. The peak of the shopping rush was reached almost two weeks before Christmas in 1924, according to sales managers of local department stores. This proves the public is slowly being educated to the early buying Idea,
and is shed annually. The tail is very short. Teeth deary indicate that the bear is “omnivorous"that is, that he eats almost everything. The canine or "dog” teeth are long and sharp for tearing flesh, while the molars are well adapted for grinding roots and other vegetable foods. The bear walks with a shambling gate, lifting both feet on one side of his body at the same time. His clumsy movements when at ease are very deceiving, for he can turn with surprising swiftness and deal terrific blows with his forepaws with the agility of a cat. In running he goes at a sort of gallop, and his speed is such that he can overtake the swiftest human runner In a few minutes. In attacking, the bear frequently, though not always, stands erect-and uses his forepaws as well as his teeth. Bears are good swimmers,’and most kinds climb trees while young. Hibernate in Winter | In the wild state most bears hibernate from two to six months during the winter, even in warm climates where food is plentiful the year round; but in captivity they rarely do this even in a celd climate. When cold weather approaches the bear seeks a secluded spot, and a suitable den for its winter quarters. Sometimes the base of a hollow tree is chosen, or the cavity under the roots of a “blow-down” or fallen tree; or the bear my scoop out a den for itself. It covers itself with leaves, grass or dirt, leaving only an air-hole for Its breathing. The bear is not dormant during its period of hibernation, but it takes no food or drink. Young bears, called cubs, are born in January, while the mother is hibernating. . Two cubs at a birth seems to be the rule with bears, but there are exceptions. Baby bears are nearly hairless at birth and ridiculously small, considering the size of the parents. They are help less for many months, and remain with their mother the first year and go into the den with her the seccnd winter. Vegetable Diet Though classed as carnivores or flesh-eaters, most bears subsist largely on a vegetable diet. They eat grass, grain, roots, nuts, berries, fruit, grubs, insects, frogs, snakes, mice, snails, crabs, eggs, fish, birds and any other kind of game they can enpture or find in good condition. They do not eat carrion. Most bears are fond of ants probably on account of an acid which these insects secrete, and to obtain them the bears use their strong claws to tear apart decayed stumps and logs and to dig up ant hills. They are also passionately fond of honey and will travel many miles to get it. Different kinds of bears are widely distributed throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and some parts of northern Africa. Only one species is found in South America, and none in Australia. The bears of North America constitute four distinct and easily recognized groups. Their common names are: Black bear, Grizzly bear, Alaskan brown bear, and Polar bear.

DEMOCRATS OF SOUTH MAKING REALIGNMENTS Seek to Line Up With Conservative East Instead of Progressive West. By Raymond Clapper WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—Vital political realignments are taking place in the south, calculated to change the general complexion of the Democratic party in time to affect the next presidential contest and possibly the cohgressional elections next year. The new economic south will produce anew political south if the present movement is successful. Its aim is to break off the traditional political alliance with the progressive west and tie up with the conservative eastern Democracy. This movement goes far deeper than the recent love-feast between Georgia Pro-Klan Democrats and Jimmy Walker, Tammany’s mayorelect of New York City. The Incident only emphasized in a spectacular way how far the underlying drift has gone. If it reaches its objective, the Democratic party will turn conservative and abandon much of the liberalism and protest that has marked it in the thirty years since the rise of Bryan. The South holds the balance of power within the Democratic party as between the western and the eastern factions of the North. Be cause of its poverty after the Civil War, it welcomed the 'cheap money and other economic devices which Bryan urged. This made it possible for Bryan to dominate the party. He tied the Democratic South and West together. Toward the end of ids career the South was Bryan's chief stronghold. McAdoo has tried to use the same combination. Meantime an economic revolution has developed in the South. Development of natural resources, everywhere, the industrial development of such centers as Birmingham and Atlanta, the migration to Florida and the promise of-* far greater industrialization when water power projects like that at Muscle Shoals become operative—these economic forces have united to bring the South more prosperity than it has seen in three-quarters of a century. Also a great influsion of northern business men and capitalists. The Inevitable sequel Is developing. With riches, the South is inclining toward conservatism. It is less Interested now In panaceas which will alleviate poverty and Is more interested in stability. This movement cannot succeed without a hard struggle. Next year is the great Jeffersonian centennial and the progressive Democrats Intend to capitalize fully the memory of the first great American radical.
CHURCH RAISES THREE MILLIOHS i ’ (Continued From Page 1) ing In Philadelphia, Pa., housing several floors of offices and a hotel. In his report (his afternoon on city departments of home missions, the Rev. M. P. Burns deplored the neglect of the new residential and sub-bu-ban districts of the large cities.
