DECEMBER DIVIDENDS.
Cleveland Leader,

Dividends and interest payments to
the security holders of great corpora
tons IN the United States. Will be about
sl500O,C coo more this month than the like
distribution of profits last December.
The increase is from sos, 600 10 $llO,-
00000D. The rate of gain is nearly IL
per cent In the year now ending the
interest and dividend payments Will
reach the great aggregate of $l5S3,50S,-
600 Tho gain over 1909 is about Sl6i,-
$4,000, Which means more than 10 per
cont. These great sums, 1t should be
understood, do not represent the inter-
cs, ana dividends paid by all the cor
rorations in the United States. The
figures given cover only the larger and
more conspicuous companies. S,!ch as
are known and reCkoncd with in the
stock exchanges. a vast aggregate OF
dividends and interest on bonds ii dis
tributed every year, to the owners Of
the securities Of a multitude Of other
companies, smaller or less In evidence.
There Is no doubt in the light of sucr,
facts, that the year has been profit
able as well for the farmers and mil
lions OF other Americans. There has
been little revision downward OF the re-
turns from corporation Investments
In many cases there have been charges
in the opposite direction.

Christmas Eve on Beacon Hill.

before then. and SO you hurry along for
your car and forget I'LL about the
bad temper which you picked up an
hour before in the crowded store.
Fifty years ago. the rector of the
Church of the Advent inaugurated the
"Choir Christmas Eve" which has since
1907 been renewed and adopted as q
regular custom by the Beacon Hill
ncighbors. An old tradition that the
way of the Christ child should be light
ed with candles on Christmas eve ac-
counts for the wslvering lights that fill
the windows on the hill. To the homes
where candles burn the singers go re-
gardlcss Of religious denomination or
belief and echo u Merry Christmas
and sing a carol. Those of the parish
who are shut in are sure of a visit.
and the singers are always as sure of n
welcome us they We're back in 1853,
when the late Bishop Huntington cat
that time a professor IN Harvard col
lcge) was serenadcd by the Christmas
eve singers. He tells the story In his
''Memoirs and Letters" After the
house had become still, about 10.3O. as 1
was sitting in the study preparing for
the holy duties of the day. suddenly
most delightful music in youthful
voices burst under my window. I
raised the curtain and there stood n
picturesque group of singers, mostly
young boys. with lanterns. under the
sparkling sky in the frosty night, pour
ing out Christmas anthems-genuine
old English carols In music and words
wholly picturesque"
"Chrlstmas celebrations arc chang
ing" said DR.. William II. Van Allan,
the rector Of the Church of the Adj
vent "and this Choir Christmas Eve
marks a distinct return to tho religious
celebration Of the day. There is good
Christmas feeling wherever we go and
q proper kind Of sectional spirit is be-
ing developed
Is Beacon Hill conservatives? What
would some of the good old Puritan
stock of 100 years back think of the
merry Christmas celebration OF 1910?

A STORY.

The "threshing machines are now en-
gagged in measuring the effect OF the
drought in this state. 1t is not sur
prising that they tell a different story
than the crop experts who annually
visit the state at the request of the
spectators on the board of trade and
make a report SO that these masters
OF the art of betting may know on
which side of the market TO place their
money. South Dakota is not injured
by this years drouth and those tim
id ones who are anxious to sell their
holdings in this state will realize their
mistake when they try to find a place
to invest their money in lands where
there is less likelihood of losses than
here. South Dakota lands are a good
buy today, better today than a year
now, mark this.-Pierre Dako-
tan.

any quantity of good, healtbful air,

That South Dakota's congressional
delegation bears a pretty good reputa-
ton at the national capital is evident
by recent appointments in two promi-
nent investigations. But our repres-
entatives are the Investigators and
not the investigated. The sensational
charges preferred by Senator Thomas
=. Gore of Oklahoma, against j. f.
Murray, for alleged attempted bribery
in connection with contracts with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian tribes,
will bring together the greatest gath
ering of United States senators and
representatives in the history of the
new state. There has been a COM
of five members from both the
and the house appointed to
make this investigation. Senator
Crawford and Representative Burke
are both represented on these commit
tees. Senator Gamble has also been
appointed as chairman of a special
committee to investigate the bribery
charges against Senator Lorimer of
Illinois. Mr.. Gamble has set the date
OF his inquiry for September 10.

Henry Montville has a patch of

by bugs. This may seem queer this
year when bugs are plentiful, but it
is nevertheless a fact. We have been
watching the experiment which is sim
ply that of planting beans among the
potatoes and believe it to be an abso-
lutte protection. Prof. Adrian, who de-
livered the Burbank lecture at the
chautauqua here also visited the patch
and became convinced to the extent
that he is going to use the informa-
ton in his lectures. 1t is said, and
has proven true to our satisfaction,
that if you pant a hill of beans be-
tween the hills of potatoes the bugs

TAKInG EGAN TOO SERIOUSLY.

George ". Egan of Sioux Falls,
is becoming quite a nightmare to
some newspapers and politicians of
this state. They consider him an
aim is his personal advancement.
They believe his election to any pub
lie office, in view of his disbarment
by the supreme court of this state
and his Iowa record, would be a public
disgrace. His run for governor in the
primary campaign gave them quite a
scare. He has intimated that he
will run for United States senator at
the next primary. 1t is quite certain
there will be four or five candidates
in the field. This leads to a conclu-
sion that if Egan can hold his pres
.ent support together until then he will
be able to get a plurality in a large
field.
Analysis of the returns of the re-
cent primary shows little cause for
such fear. For the republican candi-
dates for governor, about $4,000 votes
were cast; for lieutenant governor
5000; for secretary of state, 10000;
for treasurer, $4,000; for congressman,
10000, and for other state officials
less.
From this it will be seen that there
were 5000 more votes cast for the re-
publican candidates for governor than
for any other office. The candidates
for congress preceded those for gov
ernor on the ticket, and the lieuten-

LAND BUYING AN INVESTMENT.

James J. Hill says it is not specu-
lation for a farmer who has money to
buy land. The talk about land specu-
lation, he maintains, is exaggerated,
and he is right. There are land com
panies and dealers who have bought
and are buying On the prospect of a
rise in prices. They may be said to
be specializing, although there seems
to be little &C the speculative in what
they are doing. Speculation involves
risk and a chance that prices may go
down instead of up. With the pres
ent conditions and the temper of the
people there is little chance for much
of a slump.
The man who buys a farm in the
northwest because he wants the land
is not very greatly concerned about
the market price of that land, after
he has paid for it. A farm that will
yield a steady income is no specu-
lation. 1t is an investment to the
farmer, and most of the land is being
sold to farmers. No rise in value
will affect the crop yielding quality
of the land, nor will a decline in the
price of the farm. The man who
buys a farm to till and keep is after
dividends, and is not scalping market
margins any more than is the man
who buys Great Northern stock and
puts it into the safety deposit vaults
as a revenue producer. So long as
the investor knows that the dividend
is coming regularly he does not worry
about the fluctuations of prices, for
they cannot hurt him-and the land
buyers are investors-St. Paul Pioneer
Press.

Population figures have begun to

Bryant, and If the figures for that
place are to be taken as a basis for
