SUGAR STOCK
SOARS---EXPECT
BIG DIVIDEND

In the expectation that "melon
VIII be cut al the next quarterly
meeting OF the Great Western Sugar
companys directors, which will be
held on Wednesday, there has been a
violent rise in the price of shares of
the common stock of the company,
within the last ten days. Stock that
sold at S63 share then was sold
at s76.50 yesterday, and there was
but little to be had at that or any
price.
The increase of $3.50 per share
means that the value of the outstand-
ing lO5,i40 shares has increased ST.
3s3,44O in ten days, and the reluc-
tance of the inside" element to part
with their holdings. in spite of the
large profit that has accrued, only
tends to confirm the belief among
the spectators who have been seeking
some of the shares that the directors
viii take some action at the Wednes-
day meeting looking toward distri-
button of .ht least a part of the sur
plus. which now amounts to about
Sl3,O00,000, by an extra dividend
either in cash or in stock
The coWpany's prirts during the
last year We're largely in excess OF
those of any year in its history. This
was due to the abnormal increase in
the price Of refined sugar, due to the
shortage in the European crop occa-
stoned by the drouth. Sugar that
was held by the local company Weld
ed high prices in spite of the fact that
at the time when the eastern refin-
ers were boosting the cost the local
company Ihade heavy cuts, for the
benefit of home consumers.

agreed" to be husband and wife. No
children were born of this marriage.

EIRST WARD
SUNDAY SCHOOL
WEI HAVE FINE PICNIC AT
TRACTION PARK NEXT FRIDAY
AFTERNOON.

One OF the largest Sunday school
picnics ever held at Traction Park
VIII take place there Friday when the
three Sunday schools of the First
ward will hold a union Sunday school
picnic at the popular outing place.
The special cars will leave the court
house for the park at 10 o'clock Fri.
day morning, and will leave the
grounds for the return trip at q
o'clock that evening.
Collections were taken Sunday at
the Sunday schools to defray the ex-
pense of the, special cars, but not
enough money was secured for the
ears needed. For this reason a col.
lection will be taken on the cars by
members of the committee in charge
Of the picnic. All those who did not
contribute at the collections at Sun
day school Sunday morning will be
asked to make a contribution on the
cara. 10 help pay for the transporta-
toni *. ~. 4" Y;
.srAdy friends. OF the various Sunday
schools who wish 70 attend the pic.
mic are cordially invited to be pres.

tend are asked to try to arrange to go
to the park on the special cars, and
to contribute their share towards the
expense OF the cars when the commit
tee makes its collection.

take place at noon on the grounds and

RAINcoAT sENEFAcTIoN.

A gentleman, SO the story runs,
overheard a couple of young working
girls on street car during a severe
shower discussing ralncoats, one OF
them saying that she would feel SO
happy that, II she could only possess
one of the coveted comforts, she
would be tempted TO wear It rain or
shine. Thereupon he fell upon new
form OF beneyolence. and promptly
began the distribution of raincoats
in q limited way to girls who needed
and couldn't afford the protection.
There are SO many little ways OF
benefaction in these days of big gifts
that are overlooked. 1t is question
whether the distribution of raincoats
would not be more serviceable than
the distribution Of books by free H.
brarles, not that the latter is not u
good benevolence, but the former
looks to health and comfort.

Try over, are quite busy now, and they
are expecting to be even buster a

corn crop begins to move in from

President Willard, of the B. 60,
who has been in New York this week,
+ quoted by the New York Tribune
as saying that rcnre loadings are
heavy and increasing daily, and exI
pect that we will have a very large
freight tonnage to move during the
next few months" The B. & o. pres.
fdent also expresses the fear that a
worse car shortage than was expert.
enced in 1907 is liable to happen be.
fore the end of the current year. Rail-
roads generally, he thinks. have not
been keeping pthelr rolling stock
