He set the men to work untwistins ropes until they had more than 300 feet all unraveled. Uncle Dick went up the derrick and put the end of the unraveled rope into the bottom part of the rocket Then he poured kerosene oil all over it and rubbed gunpowder into 1t.
 That afternoon Uncle Dick sent out invitations both by mail and by mes senger to places as far away as 200 miles, saying:
 Jimmy Frederick respectfully in- vites you to his Uncle Dicks farm to see him set off the biggest skyrocket in the world on the evening of the Fourth of July"
 Uncle Dick also sent word to tho papers about it, and on the evening of the Fourth more than 10000 people were at the farm. wondering at the inn

 mense skyrocket and trembling all over at the thought of the explosion when she went off. And all over the land people who could not go to the farm were watching the heavens and paying very little attention to the oth- CT fireworks of the United States, be- cause the papers had told all about the rocket and had explained that it could be seen hundreds of miles when 1t went up.
 When the time came, Uncle Dick gave Jimmy big piece of lighted punk and then he stood in front of the tree and said:
 Ladies and Gentlemen: You will notice that this tree is inclined toward the north. My calculations tell me that when the rocket is lit it will pull the tree clear out of the ground and go north for at least 1000 miles, which will bring it over uninhabited country. where it will fall without hurting any body, unless bear or moose should get in the way. Now, Jimmy, touch her off!
 Jimmy touched the end of the fuse and then everybody ran away to safe distance The fire climbed swiftly, and suddenly with a bang that shook the hills and broke the windows even in towns 100 miles away, the giant rocket went off.
 Out came the tree, roots and all, and sailed grandly into the sky with hiss ing trail of fire behind it. The amazed spectators watched it for more than half an hour, getting smaller and smaller. till it disappeared in the northern sky.
 For days after that the paper printed reports from distant places from peo- pie who had seen wonderful fiery thing in the night. By means of these | reports, it was possible for Uncle Dick | to pursue the course of his wonderful | rocket until he found that it had gone | far over Canada; but he could not learn where it had fallen and he did | not learn until recently. But about a week ago hunter who | had been in the very far north of Can- ada, near Hudson bay. shooting musk oxen, visited Uncle Dick. He told a lot of interesting hunting adventures, and finally said:
 The queerest thing that saw was | far up in the barren lands where there are no trees. One day saw something | odd some distance away, and went | there on my snow shoes. | What do you suppose l found? A mighty tree, That was queer enough | up there. But queerer still was the fact | that this tree did not stand in the ground as other trees do, but stood roots up with its crown buried deeply in the soil. It was the most marvellous sight I have even seen, and l can hard ly believe it yet. would give a good deal to know what caused this strange freak of nature.'
 Uncle Dick chuckled and winksd al Jimmy.
 Did you ever hear of Jimmy's won derful skyrocket?" he asked.
 No, never" said the hunter. You know I have been in the wilderness 6 long time"
 So Uncle Dick told him. After he got through the hunter said; ~ am glad to know this. l intended to write a book about it, but now l shall be able to save myself the trouble.'

was pounded in good and hard. and Jimmy's Uncle Dick said:
 50! There's 800 pounds of powder in there. That ought to make her fly"
 But how about the stick?' thought Jimmy. He did not say it, knowing how easy 1t is to spoil an inventors ideas by interrupting him with frtv- olous conversation.
 He was to learn very soon how about the stick, for as soon as the mighty cylinder was all finished, Uncle Dick had a derrick rigged, and up went the big thing until it dangled alongside of the dead pine tree near the dizzy top of it.
 Then mighty cables were sent up and the meA lashed the loaded paste board cylinder to the tree until 1t was completely hidden by ropes.
 Now for the fuse." said Uncle Dick

YIMMY BRODERICK'S Uncle Dick
 was not only great inventor i. but one of the kindest men that
 ever lived.
 Although he earned his living by in venting ussful things like automatic blows that would blow whole field in the night time while the farmer lay in bed asleep. and automatic fish poles that would bait their own hooks and throw out their own lines and pull in their own fish and take them off and bait the hooks over again, still Uncle Dick was ready at a minutes notice to drop all that sort of thing and invent something to give boy pleasure. And you will agree that nephew who has an uncle like that has treasure.
 Jimmy Frederick knew this and he an umbrella for him when it rained and watching to see that he ate his meals regularly, for like all great inventors, Uncle Dick could not take care of him. self very we'll.
 What would you like for the Fourth of July, Jimmy" asked Uncle Dick about a week before that important day.
 q would like most of all to have great big sky rocket" said Jimmy.
 You shall have one," said his uncle, and immediately went into his inven- tory shop, which is the funny name that he gave to the little room where he invented things
 The telephone bell rang good deal that day. On the very next morning a big truck arrived from the city with two big casks on it. They were painted red and marked Danger! Powder!" in big letters. There were also huge rolls of thick pasteboard, each sheet big enough to make the whole side of a house, and there were so many of them that the horses could hardly pull them.
 Uncle Dick rubbed his hands and chuckled like anything when he saw the material.
 You shall certainly have a sky rocket" said he to Jimmy. And the best of it is that the greater part of
 
 around will; have one. too"
 Jimmy was very curious and still more puzzled, but he knew that Uncle Dick did not like to explain his inven- tions beforehand, so he asked no ques- tions, but merely kept his eyes open and did not go out of sight of the in. ventory shop all morning.
 >f rived, and under Uncle Dicks orders they began to carry all the material to the pasture, where they deposited it around huge old dead pine tree that stood smooth and straight reaching into the air fully 80 feet without a branch to break it except on the very top, and that was soon gone, too, for Uncle Dick sent men up there and they Topped it off so that then the tree stood sleek and smooth like a mast
 Then the sheets of pasteboard were laid on the ground and rolled into a great cylinder 30 feet long and at least ten feet in diameter.
 As soon as sheet was rolled into shape the men tied it tightly with yards on yards of rope and then an other sheet was rolled around the first and more rope tied around that and so on until all the pasteboard had been used up, and that was such lot that 1t took the men all day with the hardest kind of work.
 The next day they opened the casks IA l. ,n, hour after hour. until the last grain

exposed a distance of 245 feet. On
a parallel vein thousands of tons ii

the second Monday in March (the
ninth,) at it's office in the Medigo-
yich building.
At this meeting the matter Of
changing the par value of the stock
to $500 per share and making all
stock full paid will be taken up and
acted upon. 1t is the recommsnda-
ton Of the Board of Directors, by ac-
ton taken at their meeting held on
January 9th, that this be done and
that all $3.00 bald stock be echang-
ed for its pro rata il $500 paid stock
with the privilege to the stockholders
of taking an equal number of shares
by paying the additiopal $500 per
share. The capitalization of the com
pany will remain the same, but there
will be 100000 shares OF $500 paid
stock in lieu of 10000 shares of $1,000
stock
This recommendation is made by
the Board of Directors because we
are now in touch with capital that
expresses a willingness to finance
the company If the stock is made full
paid and OF $500 par value. 1t Is the
opinion OF the board Of directors that
this will be agreeable to the stock
holders, as it viii enable taem to
receive full paid stock in exchange
for their $500 paid stock and thus
relieve them from any further liabil-
fly in the way of stock payments.
