in his possession a firearm was the

kind. The Judge also stated that as
the prisoners family needed him and
the fact that Cessna had an eleven
months inf,nt besides several other

the state prison would be more of a
hardship uoon the family than upon the
prisoner. the words Of the Judge
brought tears of repentance to the
prisoners eyes as he realized again the

caused his family. However the Judge

Contract striking.
Mr.. Thorne also has for presenta-
ton a table which shows the trend Of
the amount Of stock yielding dividends
and in this the contrasts are still more
striking than in other matters.
During the five-year period ending
with 1894 the amount of stock yield
ing dividends increased 10 per cent
over $780," he says. That portion Of
the capital stock Of American railroads
yielding dividends in the average dur
ing the next five-year period. shows
an increase Of . per cent over 1890. I'M
mediately thereafter, prosperity came
to many people holding watered stock
In the United States-stock that never
did cost a cent. We find the increase
in the amount Of stock yielding divi-
dends for the third five-year group is
101 per cent greater than in 1890. For
the fourth period, ending In 1909. this
Increase was 1872 per cent, In 1910 this
increase was 2SS per cent, in 1911 25s
per cent. and in 1912 247 per cent.
mot only has the amount of stock
yielding dividends constantly Increased
but the average rate on such stock mas
also increased from 5.45 per cent IN
1890 to 70 per cent in 1912.
"The average rate on all stock (hc-
,titious capitalization as well as bona
flde stock in the hands of actual in
vestors) increased from 1877 per cent
in 1890 to 4.7s per cent in 1919. an in
crease Of 40 per cent. The average
rate on all stock has doubled since
1885,"
The exhibits prepared by Mr.. Thorne
also include showing as to rates of
dividends declared on all British rail-
ways. showing that American railways
have Jared better as dividend produc-
ers than those Of the United Kingdom.
II the eastern group of railways is
considered alone, the showing Of enor-
nous increase in capitalization and Of
dividends paid is more conclusive as to
the ability Of the carriers to float
stocks and pay dividends.
On this one phase Of the subject the
statistics prepared by Mr.. Thorne are
new and interesting, for apparently
no effort has before been made to get
them into this kind of q table for COM
parison.

Grinnell, March 1o-Grinnell women
failed to exercise their privilege to the
ballot in the school election. and
majority of those who did vote opposed
a small tax to establish public play
ground.
Out of a possible 1900 votes Of
women in Grlnnell $50 came to the
polls to cast 4 vote on the proposition
by the board of education to levy
ta>: of mill on the independent dis
trict for the purpose of fitting up pub
lie Fairgrounds and hiring supervisors
for the children in their sports. There
were 3S5 men who came out to vote oil
the same proposition as we'll as to
elect two directors and treasurer.
Judge j. p. Lyman and w. 7. Moyle
were the only two candidates for di-
rector and S. J. Pooley was the only
candidate for treasurer On the tax
levy question liz of the women voted
yes and 12O voted no., OF the men SO
voted yes and 296 voted no. This
shows six spelled ballots by the men
and four by the women. The vote is
an unusually large one for a school
election in this city and this is wholly
due to the interest in the Fairgrounds
proposition. The light vote by the
women on this their first opportunity
for casting real ballots since the en-
thusiastic test voting on the 3lsl of
January, 1913, is explained partly by
the fact that it was not until Saturday
last that they became sure they had
the right to vote on this question. The
mass meeting of Sunday afternoon had
much to do with stimulating the af
firma tive voters but it also strength
ened some in their feeling of opposi-
tiOn.
