As stated in The Progress
some weeks ago, some of the

Indignantly protesting against

no guarantee against accident
and in cases where the pastures
are now clean and were not
quarantined last year.
The method Of dipping in or

and some accidents are said to
have occurred, the last being
the strangling Of a COW aud dam

if they are forced to dip the cat

among other things:
THE Girls Night school is a star in

the factories, in the Offices. for bread

daughters of decrepit men and help

problems in business arithmetic, are
taught the essentials of education.
These girls are put in possession OF

THE pathos, the beauty and the util-
ity of this school appeal to the pa

cations established to promote social
welfare unite in admiration OF the pur-
poses, plans, and achievements of this
institution
AS the girls learn to read, write and
speak English intelligibly, their earning
capacity grows and their wages in

and partly of a foreign element, they

SECURE INVESTMENT

Less than two months ago bond houses
of standing called attention to the Sea-
board Air Line adjustment IS and recon-
mended them for investment. The bonds
were then selling around IS. They are
now down to 705s, and yet in the mean
time, the company's earnings have con-
tinued to show large increases
For the first week in March, gross was
$50 500 larger than last year. and from
July /, $1,021 400 larger. During the
twelve months ended last June earnings
were enough to take care of the entire
) per cent on the adjustment bonds, and
leave a balance of nearly $500 600 over.
For the first seven months of the new
year, net earnings increased nearly $780,,
600, which is 500, 900 more than the an
nual interest which the Seaboard will
have to pay on the 100000 per cent
notes issued a month ago.
The proceeds of these notes, however,
will put the company in funds for a long
time to come. This assurance. with the
continued expansion in revenues from
gross traffic, makes the per cent in
