Mystery surrounding the financin.

partly cleared up when banker* re
\\ assurance* from the finance
g^^^^ininister that no long term loan was
contemplated at this time amt wer
authorized to proceed with the sab
of n short term note issue for about
$25,000,000. Previously the financin'
district bad been stirred by report.
that a world wide syndicate was be
log formed to float a $75,000,000 loan
through which Argentina would eon
solidate its numerous short term oh
ligations.
The price trend of the listed bonds
way. toward higher levels. The ad
vance was orderly, however, and de
void of spectacular movements. The
best demonstrations of group strength
were given by railroad and oil com
p«ny liens which responded to the
succession of favorable developments
in these fields. Trading in obliga
tions of the southwestern carriers
was stimulated by persistent reports
that a n<°w consolidation was grad
ually taking shape in that region.

- A sudden rise in Polish bonds t"
a new hiph level for the year was
linked with the prospective offering
of a $50,000,000 loan for the govern

an option on the business were un
derstood to be preparing for the sale
of a 20 year 8 per cent issue lai
this month.

Hons continue lo improve, one of the
most gratifying evidences of better*
ment is in the textile industry, which
ha** been depressed for a long time,
hut now shows definite evidence of
broadening activity. No complaints
come from the steel people. They are
operating at pretty close to the high
i est ratio in three or four years. The
copper people again have a fine de
mand for their rnetal. Domestic and
foreign buyers have returned to pur
chasing in large volume.

blockaded by heavy snows, again have
a big traffic and are reporting fairly
satisfactory net earnings.
Rubber manufacturers both of
automobile tires and the hundreds of
articles of rubber goods are In better
shape than in several years.
Merchants Optimistic.
Merchandising concerns report a
large business. The weekly state
ments of the various commercial
agencies are uniformly good.
Nearly all departments of manufac
ture and distribution seem to be in a
healthy stale.
Those barometers of business, the
stock, grain and cotton markets, that
play such a part in Tum bling opinion,
all point to good weather. Operations
on the stock exchange continue large
and while there is not such fervor to
dealings as was manifest some time
[hack, there Is no dimunition of con
j fidence.
(■rain Acreage Increased.
General Investment in the last few
months has been Aery large. Every
bond issue of prominence has been
absorbed rapidly.
Foreign commerce Is broadening
steadily. Tremendous exports of
grains, cottons ^»nd other products
explain this in part. GeneraJ Improve
ment.* in world conditions is a more
important * factor.
With tire nation rapidly disposing
of the surplus of its 1924 agricultural
products attention soon will he divert

ing of the 1925 crops.
A considerable Jncrease '\t\ grain

Leaders Prepare
to Enact Shoals
and Postal Bills
Greater Portion of Farm Pro
gram Certain to Fall by
Wayside as Congestion
Inereases.
'W'ARliinicton, Feb. s.—With only
little mute than three weeks left uf
this season of congress the fate of
many im|K»rtant legislative measures
is hanging in the balance.
Those Nr a t fail automatically die
aim if pressed in the new congress
they must again pass through all of
i he legislative stages from reintro
dilution through committees, the two
houses and conference. •
Leaders are prepared to bend every
effort to complete action on the
Muscle Shoals leasing bill, the postal
pay and rate in* lease measure, y co
operative marketing bill, the Me Fad
den banking bill, the measure for pur
chase of the Cape Cod canal and the
? 150,000.000 good roads bill.
World Court Abandoned.
If these can he put through, to
gether with the remaining appropri
ation bills, the republican leaders will
he well satisfied witji the accomplish
ments of the short session. Hut they
are not at all certain that this pro
gram can be carried out and they are
convinced that much other important
legislation will fail.
In the realm of foreign affairs thf
senate has abandoned all hope of ac
tion on the world court questions and
there is doubt that a vote can he
had on the Isle of Pines treaty. The
German commercial convention was
considered briefly yesterday and may
he ratified with reservations broader
than those suggested by the State de
pa rtment.
Dry Hills \ppear I>o*t.
The house and senate agricultural
committees are moving so slowly that
even the friends of farm aid legisla
tion realize that only a part of the
program recommended by the presl
dent's agricultural commission can l>e
translated into law before March 4.
In all probability there will be con
central ion on a cooperative market
ing measure, the chief feature of tlie
commission’s pi ogram.
Leaders, in arranging their legisla
tive slate, are confronted with In
sistent demand* of members for sc
Hon on private and similar measures
and in view of the inevitable jam in
the last two weeks they practically
have given up hope fur enactment of
any railroad legislation or for putting
through the government reorganiza
tion scheme.
Besides these measures others pend
ing include the Framton bill for reor
ganization of the prohibition unit
which has been pressed by the "dry*
and the Stalker bill to Increase th<
penalties for prohibition violations
which appear* to have been placed
on the house shelf.

combination for a darling little funner|
like Her Fluff!ness! How is she tak j

"IJke tire little brick she is." I
returned, with a warm remembrance
of tiie cordial hospitality which little i
Mrs. Durkee had given us. "You
wouldn’t know she had an extra soul
in the house.”
"Of course not,” Lillian agreed cor
dially. “hut what a fretting and stew
ing over her housework there’d be
when you weren’t there to see her.”
"Hut I made it my business to he
there.” ] said. “ brought Katie with
me, and 1 read the riot act to Her
Fluffiness the very next morning
compelling her to let us all help with
the housework. After that she was
like a lamb. To tell tire truth, she s
so bound up in that baby 1 don’t
believe she knows she has a house.
"That last statement is a mightv
hard one to believe.” Lillian said
dubiously, ‘ but I'll take your word
for it. Now if you'll trend your mas

that menu I'll take a look at my

She disappeared into the bedroom
of tiie suite, returning after a minute
with the look around her mouth
which always spells ease of mind t"
me. She possesses so perfect a
"poker fare ' that It was a long time
before I discovered that I sometimes
could gauge tier reactions of pleasure
or dasappointment by tiie liny lines
around her mouth.
"Still sound asleep.” she said when
she had closed the door behind her.
"Poor tiling As neail> as 1 can make

Lame, Achy—
All W orn-Out?
IS a dull, constant backache making
you old and miserable? Do you get
up lame and stiff; drag through the
day tired, nervous and depressed? Eve
ning find you all worn out -fit only for
bed? Then give some attention to your
kidneys! Winters colds and chills throw
a heavy strain on the kidneys. Too often
the kidneys are overwhelmed by the rush of new work. They weaken, body poisons
accumulate in the blood and the whole system is thrown out of tune. Then comes
lameness, soreness and stiffness, daily backache, rheumatic pains, headaches, dizziness
and annoying kidney irregularities. Don't risk neglect! Delay may lead to dropsy, gravel
or Bl ight’s disease. Help your weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills. Doan's have brought
new health and strength to thousands. They should help you. Ask your neighbor!
