Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
YOU must have noted. If you read
the papers at all carefully, that
stock market prices have been rising
harply this week. .With the cynlc
lam born of three years of depres
sion, you may have said to yourself:
Humph, the suckers are biting
gain!"
And, of course, If you DID say
that, you may have been right.
STILL, It Is Interesting to analyze
some of these Increases, and o
get a better understanding of what
they mean to the country as a
whole.
Let us select, as an example,
American Telephone Telegraph,
which la an outstanding stock that
is widely owned.
Let's see what has happened to
It recently.
ON JULY It, A. T. Js T. reached a
low point of 70(4, or $70.25 per
share. Yesterday, A. T. & T. sold
on the New York stock exchange
for 108. '
That Is an Increase In a little leas
than a month of approximately 3B
a. ahare.
NOW let's get an Idea of what
that means.
There are outstanding, according
to the latest recorda, 18,662,375 shares
oi American Telephone & Telegraph
stock.
It Is apparent, therefore, that an
increase of 38 per share means a
total increase of S709.166.460 In the
value of . these 18.662,275 shares
just a shade under a billion dollars.
LET us take a look at another
atock-electtng, thla time, soutn
ern Pacific, In order to find one
that Is close home.
On June 1. about five weeks ago.
Southern Pacific reached Its low
point for the current year of 8V4,.
or 16.50 per share. Yesterday it
Bold at 17. an Increaae of approxi
mately 10 a share.
There are outstanding 3,767.554
shores of Southern Pacific stock. It
Is thus apparent that an Increase
of 10 per share means the addi
tion of $37,675,540 to the value ot
these shares.
SO MUCH for these representative
stocks. Let us turn to another
form of wealth, and see what has
happened In that direction.
The price of wheat on the Chicago
grain exchange rose yesterday some
three cents a bushel. In a normal
year In this country the wheat crop
will run somewhere around 700,000,
000 bushels.
So, you see. this rise of three
cents per bushel In the price ot
wheat in ONE DAY added some
$21,000,000 to the value of the crop
now being harvested and threshed.
THESE Increases 'in wealth, to be
sure, are PAPER Increases. That
Is to say, they are brought about
by lncreasea In prices on the stock
and grain exchanges, where price
Is affected by aupply and demand
as reflected In buying and selling.
If you pwn stocks, and don't sell
them at the Increased price and put
the money In your pocket, the in
crease In your wealth has been
merely a paper Increase.
And so It Is with wheat, which
you may own, if you don't actually
ell It.
BUT don't forget 'this:
The decreases In wealth which
were brought about by the crash in
prices were to an exactly equal ex
tent paper decreases.
So the recent Increases In price
are Just as significant as the pre
ceding decreases.
friHK POINT to be kept In mind Is
a tnis:
Wealth was destroyed very rapidly
by the long decrease In prices of
commodities and listed securities.
But wealth can be, CREATED Juat
aa rapidly by BtSINO prices.
During the price increases of re
cent weeks, a vast body of weslth.
aa wealth la reckoned In these days
of liquid values, has been created.
We are getting back some of our
losses.
Whether we keep whst we are
getting back, of course, remains to
be seen. As to that, only time can
fell.

BARTLETT PICKING
IN FULL BLAST BY
FIRST NEXT WEEK
Picking and packing of the Bartlett
pear crop of the Rogue River valley
will be underway In all orchards and
all packing plants by next Monday.
A number of the orchards and pack
ers have started on a small scale but
will not get Into full swing. The first
picking of Bartletts la now underway
In some orchards. In many orchards
the Bartletts will not be ready for
picking until the end of this week,
at the earliest.
Picking and packing has started on
the Modoc and Van Hoevenberg
orchards In the Gold Hill district, and
a shipment for export was dispatched
Monday from Gold Hill.
The Pinnacle Packing plant of this
city will start Hb No. 1 plant full
capacity tomorrow noon, and will
start Its other plant next Monday.
Other packing plants will start to
morrow and Thursday, as the volume
of fruit Justifies.
The first picking and packing of
Bartletts was lessened somewhat by
the high wind of Saturday evening.
It Is highly probable that the first
shipments east will not be made for
a week or ten days, as the pears will
be held In cold storage, for a, short
period to wait market Improvement.

FIST OF MAIL TO
Von Papen Calls On Cabinet
to Map Campaign of
Stern Measures Death
Penalty May Be Invoked
By W. E. BROCK MANN
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
BERLIN, Aug. 9. (AP) The Ger
man government, goaded by two
months of rioting, bombing, shooting
and knifing, prepared today to awing
Its mailed fist and "brutally wield'
Its authority to put an end to politi
cal disorders.
Returning from a holiday to find
the local bloodshed and sabotage
still going on. Chancellor Franz von
Papen called his cabinet together to
map a campaign to use the sternest
measures, possibly Including the
death penalty, to restore pence.
Death Penalty Looms.
The text of the emergency decree
which the cabinet considered In a
session which began at noon, called
for the death penalty In extreme
cases. It also provided for special
"speed" courts to deal with a whole
series of crimes denominated as ter
roristic, Including gun toting, flood
ing, arson, bombing and attempts
to tamper with the railways, re
gardless of whether loss of life were
involved.
The cabinet planned to put the
emergency decree Into final form for
promulgation late today without
waiting for President Von Hlnden-
burg's return from East Prussia,
which Is expected tomorrow. Mem
bers of the government were certain
they could secure his approval by
telephone.
Meanwhile, speculation on the part
the nazls might play In the new
government was upset by a vehement
editorial In the nazt Berlin organ,
Der Angrlff, demanding for the Nazis
" a decisive Influence in the govern
ment's course."

Securities and commodities took

Wheat and Its allied grains lost
virtually all the ascent of Monday
and could not gather enough strength
to renew the climb. The failure to
keep on up grade was due to those
who averred that grains should not

A man by the name of Charles

for issuing checks amounting to $45
at the Safeway stores, and $65 at the
local J. C. Penney store. The checks,

Wells had deposited $175.
According to the officers, the man

was honored at the bank, but the
subsequent checks could not be

ROGERS
'says;
BEVERLY HILLS. Cal., 'Aug.
8. Bcon telling you for a year
what these Republicans would
do with that market just la
time to knock the poor inoffen
sive Democrats out of their?
hard-earned votes in Novem
ber. Now they are all just s
buying and selling among
themselves in stocks that
hnven't shown a cent of In
creased earning power.
That shows the thing Is"
kinder "cockeyed." The earn,
ings should come first and then
the raise in price of stock.
Like everything that is rear
ranged, it's kinder overdone.
As dumb as we are we know
we. can't get prosperous that'
quick. But one good thing
about it all is that it might
have a lasting result. But don't
forget the original idea of it
was to beat the poor old Demo
crats who never did anybody
any harm in their lives.
Yours,
