FREDERICK BooTH-TUCKER
Mr.. Hall. since he left the service Of the
Army, has devoted all the time he has to
| snare for elgious activities to the Sunday
school of the Jane Street Methodist Church,
| In which he is the teacher Of class OF
! small bows and the head of the missionary
society. He was found yesterday after
| noon at the Sunday school service coll
! leCting the children's Sunday onerlng
I for missionary work
| He announced from the platform that
! II amounted to sS2 0S. Then he gave two
| pounds of candy to the boys class which
| had contributed the most and two pounds
| more to the record class for girls. That
| closed the service. While the members
| Of the winning classes were sQuabbling
| over the distribution OF their sugar-plum
dividends Mr.. Hall made lightning change
| from mission worker to fiscal agent and
talked about the advantages TO the poor
man of investing in Great Republic Gold
Mining stock and Olalla Copper. lie also
talked about Commander Booth-Tucker
1T . all spite on the part of Booth-Tucker,
said MIR. Hall. He tried, In the first place,
to stife me in a basement printing shop and
| thought / would stand II because I was
working for the Lord. But l couldn't
| stand IL and left. L exercised my rlRnt
| az an American citizen to go into business
| and Joined Col Brewer in the work of put
| ting the stock OF reputable companies on
the market at prices within the reach Of
! poor workingmen,
| That's the whole trouble. Commander
| Booth-Tucker has scheme of his own.
| He is trying 70 sell bis colony bonds and he
! doesn't want anybody 10 invest in anything
| else That's why he has made this state
| ment He's Jealous too, of the wide ac-
! quaintance and the popularity in the
| Salvation Army of Col Brewer.
Commander Tucker is the only man In
the world who could tell why selling one
| of his colony bonds is reputable while
| selling n gold certificate Of our company
| IL disreputable. He would say, of course.
| that his bond Is for the Lord. But the
poor man who invests with us Will be
| great deal better OF How il anybody
! going to know what those colony bonds
will be worth, anyway
| Its lust this way. We are not pro-
motors nor brokers but just fiscal agents,
Supposa n farmer over In Jersey finds
| lust n speck Of gold on his land. He doesn't
| know how much more there II and he can't
| find out without the money to pay for
| digging and investigating. To get that
| money he issues stock and we sell the stock
! for him Now suppose there turns out
| TO be veins and veins Of gold in that land.
| Why you can see al once how good a thing
| it Is for the people we have sold the stock
| TO!
