American Water Works Co. Keeps up
Record of Thirty Years.

In response to requests for infor-
nation from holders of securities of
the American Water Works & Guaran-
tee and constituent companies, Treas
urer j. B. Van Wagner yesterday
gave out the following statement
Arrangements have been made for
the payment of interest due August /

pany, the South Pittsburg Water COM
pany, the Clinton Water Works COM
pany, the kokomo Water Works COM
pany, the Arkansaw Water Company
and the Great Shoshone & Twin Falls
Water Power company will also be
paid on that date. This provides for
the payment of all interest maturing
on August l on securities of subsidi-
airy companies of the American Water
Works & Guarantee company and en-
ables the company to maintain it's rec
ord OF over 80 years of not a single
days delay in the payment of interest
obligations.
Furthermore this action can also
be taken as an evidence of the man.
agement of these properties to con-
serve the value of the securities of
each company and suggests the re-
quest that holders of securities of the
parent and constituent companies
will continue to exercise patience un-
til further information can be furnish
ed.
'On assuming their duties, the re-
celvers ordered full and complete
audit OF the books of the American
Water Works & Guarantee company,
and it's subsidiary companies. This
audit has not yet been completed"
Mr.. Van Wagner's statement is ma
turally gratifying to the holders of
American Water Works & Guarantee
company securities, and likewise
tends to confirm recent reports re-
specting the satisfactory financial
condition of companies having coupon
interest due at this time-The Pitts

"Good Roads Without Money!

u. Ward King is the Eame OF the
Missouri farmer who invented the split
log drag for improving the surface OF
roads and the man who has made that
implement famous. Already "the road
laws of six states have been changed to
conform to Mr.. Kings ideas of proper
road construction and road repair and
maintenance"
Readers of the Banner will feel an in
terest in learning that Mr.. King was in
Minden Tuesday and made public ad-
dress and demonstration of his drag to a
large and enthusiastic gathering. OF
SURPRISING interest, however, will come
the announcement that he will give a
free demonstration and lecture to-mor-
row in Shreveport, under the auspices OF
the Shreveport Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. King has no implements to sell;
nothing to promote; no axe to grind.
His presence will simply be benefi-
cence to your community, in teaching
your people how to have good roads
without expenditure Of money" Such
is an abstract from printed folder now
before the writer.
"By Mr.. Kings system the worst dirt
or gravel road can be made the best, and
macadam roads can be greatly improved
and kept cheaply in repair. This system
is being used successfully all over the
United States and Canada. BY Mr.
Kings methods the community is saved
immense amounts of money for road
con struction and road repair. Mr.
Kings methods are as we'll adapted te
the city and town as to rural roads,"
The Banners readers have repeatedly
seen the King road drag referred to in
its columns and have noticed the several
illustrations of the drag shown from
time to time. We have in the past giver
the drag this publicity because we be-
lieved it to be good thing and because
of its known popularity in many sections
of the Union. Mr.. King is beyond doub
a great public benefactor. His little
road working device, so simple and se
cheap, has been a great boon to The
entire country and particularly t.
sparsely settled rural districts. It al
once passed the experimental stage ant
its success goes on and on.
You should avail yourself of the op'
portunity to hear this famous road ad.
vocate's address and see his demonstra.
ton of road working. You can do so by
visiting Shreveport tomorrow. The ad.
dress will be made at the City Hall a
three o'clock pm. and the demonstra'
ton will follow later.
