N-hlff Preferred Sntaablea.
Th Inventory of th eitata of tha lata
Jai-ob Srhlff hi been read with mii'-h
lmer.it berauae It reveala th riiapoiulon
of thia International banker to place much
th pre.ter part of hi poa.ciona In
aecurUlm which ara eiempt from taxa
tion. Nearly I16.ao0.ooo of th aatata
ronaiat of bonda of New York lty and
Kovernment bonda. Mr. Hchlff friend
aurml.a that h waa persuaded to plac
thla iarn proportion of hla wealth In
nnntnxabl aecurltlea because ha regarded
tha gov.rnment tax aa tar too nign. rrou
ably bad th aurtax been much reduced
noma of hla inventmenta would hav been
placed In taxable aecurltlea, preaumably
rmlroad bonda, rather than In thoa la
aued by tha government aa well aa by
atatea and by munlclpalltlea.
Una of Mr. Schlff'a friends, who waa this
morning commenting upon th heavy In
vestment mad by Mr. Srhtff In nontRX
abl aecurltlea, aald that many other men
ft wealth have done aa Mr. Rchlff thought
It expedient to do and If the Inveatmente
of some of th wealthy citizen of New
York could b Inventoried at thin time it
would ba dlacovered that proportionately
aa large an inveatment haa been made by
them in government, atato and municipal
ecurlties as the Inventory ot Mr. Schlft'f
estate revealed that he made.
Some of th large estates recently pro
bated do not dlacloaa such preferenc for
nontaxable aecurltlea aa Mr. Schlff'a es
tate reveale. The estate of George W.
J"erklne, which waa much amaller than
that of Mr. Schifrs. does not contain a
considerable proportion of nontaxable
itema. It (a true that Mr. Perkins bought
of Liberty bonda and Victory notee
2.000.000, amounting then to one-third of
his entire poaseasions. iiui wnen spend
ing ot this purchnae ha aald that It waa
not made aa an Inveatment but aa a patri
otic duty. Later he disposed ot a con
a'derable part of these government aecu
rltlea. He leaned favorably toward in
dustrial auch as the United States Steel
corporation and International Harvester.
Thla disposition waa probably due to hla
personal and conspicuous association with
these two Industrial corporations.
. What the Flgnres Show,
It was a reasonable inference furnished
hir th. nfflclsl retiort of the sale In 1921
of municipal and other nontaxabl aecurl
tlea, that men of wealth aa well aa othera
whose poaseasions ar not large have been
transferring much of their possessions
from taxable to nontaxable securities, ui
municipal bonda alone aomewhat In excess
of 11,300,000,000 were absorbed by the
public In 1821. State bonds were also ob
aorbed in proportionately large amounts,
hut aa there are only 48 atates and hun
dreds ot municipalities, it waa Inevitable
that the aggregate of auch municipalities
should be much lurger, although relative
Iv speaking, not any larger, than the
offerings of the states.
t,. ri.m.nH for municioal bonds con
tinues, and this Is shown by the fact
that the pricea advanced 1n February,
not much It 1 true, but sufficiently to
nrova the demand. Mr. Schlff'a confi
dence in the future of the American ralh
-n.,u end hi. hniief that ultimately re
strlctive leglalatlon will be modified caused
him to favor railroad bonds for much
of th taxable investments which he
made. He did not live long enough to
gain the recent evidence that this con
firienre waa tustlfied. Now the railroads
of the United States are able to finance
some ot their oongationa upon .lairiy m
Torable terms. A year ago the railroada
were compelled to pay as much aa 7 per
rent for loans, but since January 1 of
this var some railroad issues have been
offered at a little over the 5 per cent
btisla nnd nimt at a little over per centt
Mr. Schlff'a liilerest In the railroads and
his confidence that ultimately they would
stand upon a firm basis were not recent
dcmonMrat'ons. He it was who warmly
favored and aided James J. Hill in the
ireat Northern railroad enterprise. To
him E. H. Harriman came with success
when he was In need of millions tor the
Union Pacific and at a time when money
ronditions wni unfavorable, Mr. Sehlff
through his t-anking houses aided In fi
nancing the reeds of the Pennsylvania
company and also H. H. Rogers who had
Individually undertaken the construction
of a now completed railroad from the
coal reglona to tne seaooara at ronoiK.
New York Cotton.
New York, March 11'. Cotton futures
wer generally steady and quiet today un
der weak and professional evening up.
Th scattered short covering that de
veloped with tha outset was due mainly
to the Influence of the continued wet
and cold weather in the eastern belt,
which wai regarded aa unfavorable lor
best crop preparations.
The Hat was t to polnta net higher
at the opening, Liverpool Interests and
local shorts being numbered among the
pit buyers on the call. New Orleana and
room longs were sellers, while Wall street
traded both ways. Steadiness was the
r.nly feature after the rail. Prices slipped
off to about on a level with last night'a
rlose and som of the later options
dropped a few points under.

Duluth. Minn... March 14. Be
cause of the inability of mail trucks
to break through the only road along
the north shore of Lake Superior,
200 citizens of Beaver Bay, in the ex.
treme northeast portion of Minneso
ta, have been without mail for 22 days
according to a communication from a
member of the town board, by the
Duluth postmaster.
The route serving thi region is
known as the longest star mail route
in the United States. It extends 110
miles north from Duluth. Ma;l
trucks serving this territory have
been seriously hampered during the
winter because of a scries of severe
snowstorms which left the roads
blocked to vehicular traffic for weeks
at a time. Efforts to retain a broken
schedule by dog team have met
with little success. ,

in the rate since the early weeks of

Tho course of events In the market
for Investment bonds has been more ex
traordinary; it certainly does not seem
the less so now that we are beginning
to understand the extent to which the
London market rushed into the same whirl
of excited buying on the rise. In both
th Kuropean market and our own, the
rise in prices of high-grade investment
bonds has been so great that observers
began to grow as skeptical as they did
a week ago over the rise in sterling and
wheat and corn.

Kt caught bis cousin by f4 tail
and held on firmly,
were colder. And worst of all, food
became scarce. It seemed as if there
wasn't a thing to eat anywhere ex
cept at the iarm buildings, which
Farmer Green had stuffed full of
hay and grain during the summer
and autumn. Many of the forest folk
stole down from Blue Mountain aft
er nightfall and visited the farmyard
in the hope of getting a bite of some
thing or other. . -
Even Master Meadow Mouse be
gan to find it harder and harder to
get enough seeds under the snow to
satisfy his hunger. He had stored
away a stock of food. But it had-
not been big enough. And that was
great mistake. Master Meadow
Mouse promised himself that he
would not repeat it another timei
Unfortunately, all the promises in
the world wouldn't give him a square
meal when he needed one.
At last he went to one of his cous
ins who had already spent one win
ter in the meadow.
This is my first winter. Master
Meadow Mouse explained. "I'm run
ning short of food, And I wish you
would tell me what to do in such a
case."
"That's easy," his cousin ans
wered. "Get more." And then he hur
ried away, for he had important!
business to attend to.
Poor Master Meadow Mouse ran
after him. It was hard to follow his
cousin through the winding galler
ies beneath the snow. Several times
Master Meadow Mouse took , the
wrong turn and had to retrace his
steps. But at last he found his busy
cousin again.
You advised me .to get more
food," said Master Meadow Mouse,
"But you didn't tell me where to
get it.
In the orchard, his cousin cried,
And then he hurried away again.
' I wish he d wait a moment, Mas
tcr Meadow Mouse grumbled as he
tore after his cousin once more.
don't feel like running. I haven't had
hearty meal for days.
The cousin seemed surprised when
Alaster Meadow Mouse overtook him
in about a quarter of an hour.
What! that busy gentleman ex
claimed. "Have j'ou been to the or-
hard and back so soon?
"No!" said Master Meadow Mouse.
I've been chasing you. I want you
to tell me what 111 find to eat when
go to the orchard."
"That's easy," his cousin replied.
Trees!" Having said these three
words, he -dashed off again even fast
er than before.
"Trees!" Master Meadow Mouse
echoed. "I can't eat trees. I've never
eaten a tree in all my. life. There
must be something that my cousin
forgot to explain. So I suppose I'll
ave to run after him again and ask
im what he meant.
The fourth time that Master Mea
dow Mouse found his cousin he took
no chances. He caught his cousin by
is tail and held on firmly.
You re not going to get away
from me again till I've found out
hat I want to know, he declared.
"How can I pat a tree?" Master Mea
dow Mouse demanded.
"You can't," his cousin replied,
struggling desperately to free him
self, for he was too busy to stop
long.
"Then explain what 3-ou mean I"
Master Meadow Mouse cried.
"Eat the bark," his cousin ans
wered. Then and not till then Master
Meadow Mouse let him go.
Master Meadow Mouse chased his
cousin no more, but hurried away
to Farmer Green's orchard, where
he gnawed a ring all the way around
one of the young fruit trees, at the
top of the snow. It was the first big
meal he had enjoyed for weeks. And
he went- home feeling that the win
ter wan not so hard as he had thought
alter all.
But Farmer Green didn't agree ,
