VARIETY OF WASHINGTON PIE


A Difference OF Opinion as to What
Constitutes It.
Almost every one has heard OF
Washington pie, but there seems to
be no agreement of opinion as 10 what
member of the pie family rightly bears
the name of the Father of His Coun-
try.
Washington pie?" says the man
from Way Down East, which is be-
yond Boston, repeating your question
why, sure, I know it. There are
three layers of spongy cake, with
two layers of jelly or strawberry pre-
serves in between and white rrosting
on the top. It's bully, too, and
wish could get it here"
"But that's not Washington pie" in
terrupts the woman from Chicago,
that's simply layer cake, and in be
tween is creamy filing made like
cake. But there are only two layers
of cake, and in between is creamy
filling made of eggs and milk and
sugar and little fiavoring. And you
put powdered sugar on the top"
"That's Boston cream pie," chorus
two persons from Boston itself, who
speak with the assurance that betrays
their habitat "And what's more, we
never heard of Washington pie. Do
you think it fitting to name pie after
an important historical figure?"
I've been making Washington pie
for years" interposes mildly womaE
who lives in Pontiac and isn't
ashamed of it, "and my Washington
pie is pie and not cake. l grind
apples into pulp and mix the pulp
with sherry and use that as filling
for an ordinary open face pie. The
completed article looks much like
pumpkin pie, and it's the toothsomest
thing / know"
Now what is Washington pie!

many hours to sewing, wood carving

latter work has turned out some really
beautiful speciments of the craft.
Like Queen Alexandria, her mother,
Queen Maud, is very skillful with her
camera, while such is her skill in out

Why do United States bonds bring
premium over gold?
Because they constitute government
credit.
Would greenbacks carry the pledge of
the government, just as the bonds do?
Certainly.
Would greenbacks, based on the credit
of the government and drawing no inter
est, be equal in value to gold and silver?
Certainly
Then why not issue greenbacks and
save the interest on the bonds?
Because the Stewart Syndicate of mil
lionaires not only wanted their money
put where it would be safe, and where
it would be untaxed, but wanted interest
also.
Having in their employ president
whom they have enriched, they naturally
got from this president just what they
bargained for when they put him there
bonds with interest, instead of green
backs without interest.

The Meaning of Wafered Stock.

Letters received from correspondents
lead us to believe that many Of Our read
ers would be glad to have an explanation
Of the term "slock-watcring."
The name is said to have had it's origin
i'll the trick of the cattle men who sailed
their herds, just before marketing, so as
to make the beeves drink themselves full
Of water and greatly increase their
weight when sold.
The man who sailed his COWS and thus
made them weigh more than they natural
ly should have done, was said to have
'watered his stock"
The man who bought the beeves by
weight was said to have bought water"
along with beef.
10 the extent that the cattle had been
made to fill themselves with water, the
purchaser had been swindled
This simple explanation will enable our
readers to understand what is meant by
watering corporation securities. The
actual honest investment of money in the
corporation represents the cattle in their
natural condition.
The issuance of stocks and bonds over
and above the actual investment, repre-
SCENTS the water which the cows were
made to drink.
"Watered stock" means securities
which the owners of railroad, for ex-
ample issue to themselves, over and
above the actual investment of money.
The men on the inside initiate the corpo-
ration with these stocks and bonds, which
cost nothing, and unload them on the pub
lic--jus as the cattle dealers unloaded the
water along with the beef.
W here a corporation has increased its
capitalization in this manner its stock is
said to have been "watered"
The securities SO issued, representing
no actual investment of money, is called
'Watered Stock"
1t is estimated that at least eight bill
lion dollars of water is now in the railroad

THE BANK OF VENICE.
Continued from Page Nine.)

Venice lived and fourished for 626 years.
An institution which thus came so near
living to the age of Methusaleh deserves
considerable notice.
In II7I there was a war between Ven
ice and the Roman empire of the East
Venice being hard up for cash Dor
rOWed 100000 ducatS from her rich Citi-
zens
In return for this loan the government
Simply gave the lenders a credit on the
government books for the amount loaned.
In other words, if citizen loaned 100
ducats to the government, he was entered
upon the government books as a creditor
to that amount. He held a receipt, or
certificate, against the government for the
amount of his claim.
Now the Venetian republic succeeded
in its war with Constantinople, captured
that city, and became very rich and pow
erful.
Hence a claim against the government
was perfectly good; and people doing
business with each other preferred these
claims against the government to gold or
silver.
For instance, suppose a merchant of
Venice held claim for 100 ducats against
the government: he wished to buy goods
from a merchant in Constantinople to the
amount of 100 ducats: to send the gold or
silver was dangerous and costly to send
a transfer of his claim against the gov
eminent was safe and cheap; the mer-
chant in Constantinople preferred the
claim against the government to silver or
gold because it was equally valuable, and
much more easily kept; hence the transac-
ton between the two merchants was clos
ed, to their mutual satisfaction and
benefit, by the transfer of the debt which
one of them held against the government
These government credits were pre-
ferred by Venetian traders for many
of the reasons which at this day create
such ravenous hunger for bonds
Bonds are mere government credits. yet
we have just seen how eagerly gold is ex-
changed for them.
The Bank of Venice, founded upon this
loan of 100000 ducats, was a govern
ment bank At the beginning it was
merely chamber of loans"
The credits we have spoken of supplied
the circulating medium. The transfer of
these credits upon the books of the bank
was equivalent to so much money chang
ing hands.
In 1923 a cash Office was added, and the
Bank of Venice received and returned
cash deposits
In 1887, discount office was added.
Plus we see the great republic of the
Venetian cities running, for hundreds of
years, bank which had the three de-
