Biddeford Journal. Capt. William W.
W. walker of L. 5. Grant post, G. A
r.. was rendered a post card shower 81
III cards also a beautiful birthday
cake the gift of his daughter, Mrs.
George Olsen. the occasion being ms
74th birthday. Mr. Walker was born IN
Rarnstead. " H., Oct. Il, 1898. That
dav the men were digging their pota-
toes with their overcoats and mlttenS
al. At night the ground froze up ana
did not open until spring.
An exchange states that an effec-
tive means of preventing ROSTERS
from Growing early in the morning is
10 put them in coops SO low That they
cannot stand erect or raise their
heads. A rooster is unable to Gro"
without standing up and stretching
his neck.
Maine numbering interests are sure
to profit by the proposed development
and Improvement of the st. Johh
river, according to James W. Parker
president of the Rufus Deering Lum-
Der Co. of Portland. Particularly VIII
Aroostook county be benefited, Tor
new stretches of territory VIII pc
opened up for numbering operations.
Mr. Parker says the Portland Press
in speaking of the proposed changes
said that Jess work has been done on
the ST. John than any other river IN
Maine Other streams have their
dams and storage basins, and yet the
st. John is not much more improved
than it was centuries ago. 1t Is as
serted by some that the standing
timber to be reached from the river
exceeds that along the banks OF ali
the other Maine streams put together
AS a sresult of the proposed I'M
provements, log driving may be fol-
lowed throughout the year except for
the period when the river is frozen
over. Great benefit to all the places
along the stream are sure to result
and particularly will Van Buren, ben
eft. Even at the present time more
shingles are shipped from that town
than from any other in the eastern
part of the country.

We Can't Help Saying 1t.

We suspect that the following from
Saturdays editorial page of the Lew

presaging merry blazes for some poor
staff member than toward a change of
policy:

'em. anyhow. all fighting like fury"
That is a little better, but tell the
exact truth now. How many dogs
were really there?" tksAsk

creased to ten million dollars of seven
percent cumulative preferred s.cck
and nine millions common. "Preferred'
means, of course, that the full seyafI-
percent dividends must be paid ON
that class of shares before anything at
all is paid on the common shares; it al
so means-in this and most other in
stances-that in case the cor1Dan; is
wound up, holders of the prefer ed
must be paid the full face value Of
their shares before holders of the com
mon stock receive anything. "Cumu!a-
tive" means that If the full seven per
cent is not paid in any year the deficit
shall be first charge against next
years earnings, so holders of the COM
mon stock can get no dividends until
holders of the preferred have had full
seven per cent for each and every
year.
The bankers then formed an under
writing syndicate composed of them
selves and such other banking houses
or financiers as chose to let in or as
chose to come in on their invitation.
The usual arrangement is for the I'M
derwriting syndicate to pledge itself
to take whatever amount of preferred
stock is offered for sale, in return for
whoch and for its services generally, 1t
receives block of the common stock,
out Of which it must make it's profit
although sometimes the syndicate gets
the preferred stock at discount. The
object, of course, is to make sure that
the necessary cash for carrying on the
deal will be forthcoming.
The Richmond and Battle Creek
plants having been duly purchased
and the enlarged Rumely Company set
going, the syndicate proceeded to dis
pose Of or distribute the preferred
stock. The two banking houses men
toned, and such like houses as may
have joined the syndicate, are whole
salers of securities.
In this case--and in many others
the distribution was very complete;
that it, the preferred stock was lodged
in the hands Of great many invest
