THE UNSEEN KING
A Great Lecture by President Hirsch
of Charles City, Iowa.

Those who were privileged to hear
the lecture on Monday evening de-
llvered by President Frank E. Hirsch
have no hesitancy in saying that it
was the most thoughtful address given
at Denison for some time. The fame
of the speaker had preceded him and
those attending expected to hear the
utterances of one OF the best thinkers
Of the state. and they were not disap-
pointed. The opening thought was
as to the power of %heredity. in deter
mining the bent of the mind. and to
bring this out there was a plain sensi-
bic talk on prenatal influence. Many
examples were given until the point
was we'll made. The influence of the
environment was next considered and
its part in shaping life set forth.
The speaker insisted that heredity and
environment could be overcome by the
exercises Of the will which was the
''unseen king" He called to mind
the great will power of Mckinley ard
eulogized his matchless character.
and spoke of our present remarkable
president whose will was controlling
the destinies of the nation at the
present time. Throughout the
lecture there was a we'll sustained
train of forceful thought which
showed that the speaker has extra
ordinary powers as a thinker and
student. 1t is not to be wondered at
that he is establishing at Charles City
an institution of learning which is
the pride of the people of Charles
City and the German Methodist
church.

rwhiSKEY" COLD CURES.


Laying aside all moral objections
against filling up the system with
whiskey or drugs because one has
cough or cold, the dangerous physical
effects should be sufficient to keep one
from using these strong medicines.
A thoroughly scientific way to treat
a cough and cold as well as a sensible
method is to breathe Hyomei through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit. The first breath of
its healing medication relieves the irri.
taJion, and its continued use soon
effects thorough cure.
The best people in Grand Rapids al
WAYS keep Hyomei in the house during
the winter months, and at the first
symptoms of a cold or bronchial
troubles. use the remedy, and prevent
serious and lasting illness. The gaur-
antee that Wood County Drug Co.
give with every Hyomei outfit should
convince you of its curative powers.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but
81. 90. extra bottles if needed, SOC, and
Wood County Drug Co. guarantee to
refund the money if it does not gi7e
satisfaction.

meet with them it is wise to look well
TO the contract SO you can try the In
dependents when they come our way
if you wish.
The Bell people claim that they can
double their business in our city in a
few years by connecting With us.
Under the contract that they submit
to me the 10 percent commission we
get we have to pay back to them for
the use of their transmitterS and re-
ceivers. In that way we are making
their collections and keeping their
books for nothing. Many Independ-
ent Companies have connected up
with them but in most places it was
used as an excuse of the raise of the
telephone rates. Our plan is. TO fur
niSh service at cost and not make
money. We are aiming to reduce our
rates.

Total moneys expended includ-

ing cash on hand. ....,.... .Sl2lO1. Is
You will notice by the statement
just read that the Company owes for
no bills. Nearly all of the bills have
been discounted during the year.
The only Indebtedness of the Com
pany is $500 90, which is in the form
of note and mortgage. A little over
two years ago the indebtedness was
$4,000. 1t has been reduced in that
time nearly three thousand dollars.
You Will also notice that we have
S431, rs on hand. If we had received
our money for the Switchboard at
NekooSa which was guaranteed by the
manufacturers and returned to them
we could today have shown another
decrease of Five hundred dollars in
the Company'S Indebtedness. This
payment can easily be made in Feb
ruary when tie interest is due. A
little over two years ago instead of
having a surplus our stock was worth
considerably less than par. Today if
the business of this Company were
closed out, redeemipg all the stock,
paving all the Company'S notes, ac-
crued interest and unpaid taxes, there
would still be a surplus of S3790.49.
fact that the Plants value appears
Just the same today dS it did three
wears ago on the books OF the Com
pany. Thousands of dollars worth of
materials as well as labor has been
spent upon our plant during the last
two years. Although our plant is in a
better condition yet we do not deem
it wise to raise the price on our books.
Our plant has not been extended so as
TO get more business during the year
and for that reason we have left tue
plants value the same on the books.
Our capacity TO do business today is
about the same as year ago.
Instead of showing gain Of S2l2S. "a
we could have easily pursued the
policy that other Companies have
pursued by adding all materials and
labor especially that used in lettering
the plant, to the value of the plant
and then charging off 5 per cent de-
probation. We have expended at
least $4,000 in labor and material in
bettering the condition of our plant
this year, making the plant worth
$50, 0O00 in round numbers. A per
cent depreciation on this would be
One thousand dollars. Had we pur-
sued this method it would enable us
to show a gain of Two thousand
dollars more or gain of over Four
thousand dollars for this years bust
ness.
Our plant is worth what it will cost
to rebuild it. We know Twenty Five
Thousand dollars would go great
ways in putting new frst-claSS ex-
change in place of our old one in this
city. Deducting about three years
depreciation would give figures similar
to those on our books.
