Brown Paper Better
Than Embroidery Hoops

Here is a wrinkle which is not gen
orally known. and will be useful TO the
woman who hates to embroder on
hoops.
Baste your material very firmly on
stiff brown paper in such a manner
that there is no danger of slipping.
You may bend and crush your work
to your hearts desire without danger
of disturbing the design.
If the paper catches in the stitch, it
need not cause you any uneasiness, as
It can easily be torn away after the
work is completed.

ROLL" TOO LARGE
kidnappers Could Not Get Big Roll of Small Bills From Victims
 Pocket.

New York, Sept. 2i.--vincent Sa- bella, whose six-year-old son was Kidnapped two months ago, is ly- ing at his home today dangerously injured, as the result of beating he received late yesterday afternoon at the hands of his kidnappers, whom he had met by appointment to complete arrangements for the re- turn of his son. The kidnappers had demanded $i0,0OO ransom, but Sabclla was able to collect only $i,- 700, which he carried in an inside pocket in an immense roll of bills of small denomination. That his assailants did not obtain this money was due to the fact that it made such a large roll that they could not |get it out of his pocket.
 Sabella declined to give the po- lice any details as to the identity of Ithe men who attacked him.

FOUR SISTERS WEIGH 900
They Range in Age From Three to 17 Years, and Are Children
 of Averaqe Parents.

paragould, Sept. 23.-Lee Speers, a modest and unassuming man of Walcott, this county, weighing about f54 pounds, is the father of four girls, ranging in age from three to r years, and having a combined weight of 900 pounds.
 This family of girls is the most remarka able of it's kind in Arkansas, If not in the entire country. The children's parents were of average size, and so far as is known there are no ancestors of elephantine size concealed in the branches of the family tree.
 Elmer Speers, the eldest girl, weighs 389 pounds. At the age of i3 years she tipped the beam at 38C pounds. She is a little over five feet in height, and has an enormous circumference. The young woman works at the telephone exchange al Walcott. She has attended the public school of that town, and is iaid to have been well advanced ln aer studies. She takes part in the social diversions of her vicinity and is said to be very jovial.
 Edna, the next daughter, at is years of age, weighs i60 pounds As to size, Edna is the infant of tht family, but she is still growing anc lmay yet rival her sister.
 Six-year-old Velma weighs 20t bounds and is immensely strong. Il | is stated that it is an easy task fol
 her to lift 50 or 75 pounds. Sh'
 takes part in the numerous romp- l ling childrens games and attends the town school.
 The three-year-old girl weighs | i26. She is as babyish as any glr of her age, and lisps childish words ii;s;!.Ss ] ;s;. with 4 B 6 6 blocks, etc.
 This remarkable family iias ha' numerous opportunities to get biI money travelling with circuses,, Du the eldest girl objects to this kln'
 of employment. They have ire quently visited Paragould, ant never fail to attract the attention of the crowds.

 Valuation of Assets
 The combiualion's canjtalization
 exclusive of intercompany hold- ingsl IS much greater than it's actual investment. The difference lies in the value attributed to good will The tangible assets (plant and working capital) have usually been entered on it's books at apnroxi- mately their true valuations But the good will in it's domestic bnsi- ness alone stood on the books in 1908 at, roughly, Sl4s0O0 Oo0 whereas the bureau. after careful analysls, has computed it's actual cost (not present value) at S64- OO0,OOO, or 35 per cent of the entire investment. In this allowance of S64,000,000 the bureau clearly rec ognizes the great value of good will (chiefly brand value) in the tobacco industry. Over and above thls, however, at almost every im- portant step in the expansion of the combination, there have been issued against that good will great blocks of new securities representing nothing but overyaluation, or cap- ItalIzation of monopolistis power.
 Insiders Profits.
 Through adroit and freuuent ad- justments of the securities of the combination, very large part of it's earnings have gone to a small group of insiders, who have throughout retained substantial voting control
 Securities Inflated.
 "There must also be considered here the profits arising from the imitation of the combinations se- curities. For example, one of the constituent businesses was valued in 1885, under competition, at S250,- 900. Five years later, at the or ganization of the old American To- Daceo Company, it formed the basis for the issue of $7,500,000 of stock. By 1908, due to various readjust- nents, the securities based on this business had increased to S22,000,- 900. Meantime, cash dividends and interest thereon had amounted to Si6,900,000. Thus the total par val ue of the securities (the combined market value being substantially the same), plus the dividends and interest paid up to 1908, amounted to nearly $39,000,000, or i56 times the value of this particular business in 1885.
 The combinations history, there fore, shows these foremost facts: The earning power of a monopolis- tic position in a great industry, ex- eessive capitalization, and the re- markable concentration of the re- sulting wealth in a few hands, through control of the voting se- eurity issues"
