IRREGULARITY MARKS
OPENING OF EXCHANGE
Conditions Show No Material Alteration on Resumption
of Market Trading; Steel Moves in Narrow Radius
and Rails Sell Slowly
By Associated Press .
New York. April 30. —(Wall Street)
; —Market conditions showed no ma
terial alteration on the resumption of
trading to-day, early quotations de
noting a continuance of the Irregular
ity which attended last week's later
operations. Gains in special Issues
of the several classes represented by
Atlantic. Gulf and West Indies. Mexi
can Petroleum. Industrial Alcohol,
American Woolen and Bethlehem
Steel new stock were balanced by re
cessions in Marine preferred. General
Motors, Ohio Gas, Texas Company and
Beet Sugar* V. S. Steel moved within
a narrow radius and rails were only
occasionally quoted.
Little more than 100,000 shares
changed hands in the professional
dealings of the first hour, the bal
ance of the forenoon session being
in keeping with this meager output.
Prices repeated their recent ebb and
flow, steel declining to 115%, then
rising to 116% and promptly falling
back on comparatively small offer
ings. Coppers again served in part
to counteract the drooping tenden
cy elsewhere and oils, especially
Texas Company, developed marked
strength with General Motors, com
mon and preferred, at gains of 3 to
4 points. Irregularity of Bostons re
sulted from the lower trend shown
by Industrials.

New Liquor License
Scheme Yet Outlined
Representative Rlchnrd W. Powell,
of Luzerne, will present to the House
to-night an amendment to the Brooks
high license law which will take
away from judges the discretion with
which they are now vested in grant
ing licenses. It would make all pres
ent retail licenses permanent and re
quire Judges to grant licenses in
"dry" territory but not above the
proportion of one to each 1,000 popu
lation In first-class cities, one to each
750 persons in second-class cities and
one to each 500 In third-class cities,
boroughs and townships.
In the anthracite regions the sa
loons now run something like this:
Schuylkill, one license to each 174
population: Luzerne, one to each 224
and one to each 328.
Advocates of the bill nay that lo
calities which have more than the
above proportion will have reductions
because unprofitable saloons will be
wiped out.

Germans Make Use of
Hindenburg's Name to
Sustain Army's Morale
British Headquarters in France,
April 30. via London. There are'
increasing evidences daily of how the
German higher command is using the
name of Feld Marshal Von Hinden
burg in an effort to sustain the
morale of the German fighting men.
which was lowered by the retreat
from the Somme ana the successful
launching of the British and French
offensive actions. Prisoners recently
taken also tell how Von Hindenbut-g
continues to be held up to the Ger
man population as a whole as the '
man in whom it must repose confi
dence and hope of final victory.
The recent retreat was explained by
the desire of the German command
to take up a position in the famous
Hinueiiburg line and prisoners now
say that when it becomes known in
Germany that the British have turn
ed this position and taken possession
of several miles of it southeast of
Arras great depression will be caus
ed.
t Civilians as well as soldiers placed
great faith in this line, on which they
say millions upon millions of marks
has been spent. They had been told
the line was so invulnerable that the
' Germans could sit in it for the re
; mainder of the war.
Auditor General Will
Have No Statement
Au-dtor General Powell said this !
afternoon that he would hardly have
any statement to make when he re
tired but would place in the hands j
of his successor the report of the j
auditors who made tUe audit of the
books of his department at a cost of
about SIO,OOO to the State and which
was a cause of sharp criticism in the
appropriation committees. He de
clined to make any forecast of the i
financial condition of the State. State
Treasurer Robert K. Young, who will 1
retire from office next Monday, may
issue a financial statement then.
Mr. Powell is adjutant of the Tenth i
Pennsylvania infantry and expects to
be called to the colors shortly. There
were reports that in the event of
Roosevelt organizing a division to
fight in France he might join that
command, but the retiring Auditor
General smiled about them.
COUNTY WILL BE
DRAINED OF YOUTHS
[Continued From First Pago]
same number, a supply company of
36 men, and a machine gun com
pany, that draws some of Its mem
bers from Dauphin county, and a
headquarters company of about sixty
men. Seventy-five per cent, or better
of these organizations come within
the ages specified In the draft bill
and therefore will come from the
men available. In addition to this
Dauphin county has furnished for
the regular army, the navy and the
marine corps, a considerable num
ber of men of the age to be called,
and will furnish more before the
bill goes into effect, for a large num
ber of men will enlist rather than
be conscripted.
In all. Dauphin county must fur
nish to fill her National Guard com
panies and her proportion of the
draft close to 2,000 men. When the
physically unfit, the married men,
those who have mothers without
other means of support, and those
to lie exempted for industrial and
agricultural reasons, are to be weed
ed out it is generally conceded that
the county will barely be able to
furnish the numbers necessary.
Pennsylvania, with a population
of about 8,000,000, will be called
upon to furnish approximately 40,-
000 of the army of 500,000 men
authorized by the bill passed by
Congress. With each additional in
crement of 500,000 men called to
the colors, the proportionate share
of the State will be the same.
The present strength of the Penn
sylvania National Guard is about
15,000 men, and when recruited up
to war strength it will be 32.000. It
will require 183,898 men to bring the
regular army up to war strength, and
as this increment is apportioned
among the States according to popu
lation, Pennsylvania's shore is 15,-
330.
Thus, a rough estimate of the
part Pennsylvania will contribute to
the first army that s to be called
to fight Germany is 88,000 men.
In Pennsylvania the personal reg
istration lists which give the exact
age of the voters will be used in
making the selection. The recent
lists will be used and a year added
to the age. By using the last lists,
War Department officials at Wash
ington say, they will get more men
for the army; as some persons, seek
ing to avoid service, might not reg
ister. After the lists are exhausted
the poll tax lists will be used. More

Officials of the militia bureau of
the War Department said that they
had no definlted figures as to the
present strength of the National
Guard, owing to the fact that many
guardsmen had been mustered since
returning from the Mexican border.
However, it was stated that very
soon reports will be called for in
order to ascertain exactly the num
ber of men now In the guard and the
number of recruits that will be
needed.
Heretofore the War Department
has discouraged recruiting National
Guard companies above 100 men. be
causo of the fact that the Depart
ment was unable to furnish the
equipment for the new men. Now,
however, the guards will be urged
to recruit up to war strength of 150
men to the company and the depart
ment will ' supply the necessary
equipment.

Perfect Health Is Yours
If the Blood Is Kept Pure
Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Directly Traceable to Im
purities in the Blood.
You cannot overestimate the im
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body,
you can easll> see that any Impurity
in the blood will cause serious com
plications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a source
of danger, for every vital organ of
the body depends upon the blood
supply to properly perform its func
tions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
eases arc the direct result of a bud
condition of the blood. Among the
United Grocers Corporation
TOLEDO, OHIO
The United Grocers Corporation is a holding company, owning the securities of
many other non-competitive companies, and by this method consolidates and amalga
mates the manufacture, production and distribution of food merchandise.
Amalgamation and consolidation of diversified food manufacturers, packers, can
ners and brokers result in manufacturing and brokering profits, economical operation,
quicker turn overs of merchandise and the consequent saving in cost of production,
advertising and sales distribution. All these advantages and savings are sources of
profit to the United Grocers Corporation, the holding company.
Some of the companies whose securities the United Grocers Corporation has ob
tained in pursuance of the foregoing plans are:
United Food Products Mfg. Company,... .Toledo, Ohio.
Wilkes-Barre Who. Grocery Company,... .Wilkes-Barre, Pa.
United Printing Company, Toledo, Ohio.
The Rice Grocery Company, Scran ton, Pa.
Central Brokerage & Importing Co., Toledo, Ohio.
S. R. Smith Company, .Grantham, Pa.
Grantham Preserving & Pickling Co., Grantham, Pa.
The Adams County Preserving Co., York Springs, Pa.
Harrisburg Wholesale Distributing C 0.,.. .Harrisburg, Pa.
York Wholesale Distributing Co., York, Pa.
Considering the volume of business that is being done at the present time by the
companies affiliated with the United Grocers Corporation, and those companies un
der contemplation of purchase, together with the improvements that are being in
stalled in the company's plants, the volume of business that will be done annually by
the combined consolidation should reach a very large and satisfactory total.
The United Grocers Corporation's plans of operation which combines manufact
uring and brokering, with its sales organization and extraordinary distributive outlets,
a conservative estimate on net profits on volume of business to be done should make
the capital stock of the corporation a most satisfactory aud profitable investment.
WORLD-WIDE SHORTAGE OF FOOD SUPPLIES
There is now and has been for some time, an actual shortage throughout the
country of food products of the various varieties and kinds of United Grocers Corpora
tion manufactures, packs, cartons, cans, handles, etc., through its subsidiary com
panies. The ever increasing demand and shortage for food products far exceed the
capacity of existing American manufacturers. 1
SAFETY OF PROFITS
There is 110 safer business than the food industry. The people of the world must
be fed, and there could not be a more opportune time than at present to promote and
engage in the manufacture, production and distribution of food merchandise.
It is a well known fact that concerns such as the Quaker Oats Company, Cream of
Wheat Company, Heinz an dmany other similar companies have earned and paid enor
mous dividends to their shareholders for many years.
The profit margin of food products is ample and constant.
