Every once in a while in discussions
Of the Rock Island reorganization plan,
there hobs up a mysterious S76OO,oOo
hond issue which nobody can saIis-
factorily describe or explain ne
,,srent Of the issue was the middle
company. the Chicago, Rock Island 4
Pacific Railroad Company. generally
known simply as the Railroad company
10 distinguish It from the foundation
Railway company and the superineum-
bent holding organization, the koeA
Ts1.,5 Compsnv. Practically all the
tangible property of the system IS
owned by the Railway company, which
alone is TO survive If the reOrganiza-
tion plan goes through. The knowledge
OF this fact is what has given rise to
the question, What do the Railroad
eompapy's S7.5O000 of 5 per cent
bonds represent? or, in other words,
What circumstance or theory gives
them their value?

Ahsence of Information.

Because the bonds have never been
in the hands of the public, but were
created only TO be sold to the Railway
company, the manuals contain no de-
scription of them, as they do Of other
bonds. They list them under the Rail-
road company's obligations, but that is
AN. The annual reports of the holding
company and of the Railway company
are equally silent. The bonds appear
as a liability on the Railroad com
pany's balance sheet, embraced in the
Rock Island companys report Of 1913,
and are carried at their face value as
working assets of the Rock Island lines
in the summary of that company's "se-
curities owned" in the Railways annual
report. Description Of them, however,
such as there is of other bonds, is alto
Ccther wanting.

Bad Cold for Mel

Mel Sampson one of our most re-
spckted citizens went to Harve Hines
tonsorial barbershop one day last wk
and told Harvc he wanted a shave and
a hair cut lest as clost as Harve could
make it.
Well Harve went to work OH Mel and
shaved every whisker often his face
clean down TO the skin ano in some in
stantces he TUX off the skin also Then
he went TO work on Mels hair with the
clippers and TUX it all off down to the
scalp. 1t was awful job too Harve
said being as Mel haddent had hair
cut for inoren yr and his hair was all
matted UP and snarled like everything
Several times Harse jug Mel with the
clippers and Mel would let out a whoop
that could be hecrd by the nabers on all
sides who collecktcd around the barber
shop door to see if Harve was murder
ing sonebuddy or not.
When Harve got through with Mel
he (Mel) looked like peeled onion and
when he went home it had made sich
SiidllSS III ita appear dIlAG llldt his Wlle
diddent know him and ordered him
often the premises and when Mel jest
laffed at her she sicked the dog on him.
Old Towscr who is Mel's dog diddent
know Mel neither and made rush for
him and bit him on the eaff Of the leg
before he recognized him Mel saws
he calkilates Towser lnowd who he was
either by his scent OF taste he don't
know which.
Well, next morning after Mel got his
hair and whiskers off he woke up with
what is perhaps ono OF the worst colds
that ennybuddy in Bngville ever had.
Mel had nearly sreezed his fool head
off and uses TIP as menny as six handan-
ma handkcrchiefs per day. Mel says
let his fate be warning to others not
to get their hair and whiskcrs cut Off
he says dogged if he'll ever get his hair
cut again as long as he lives.
Alter Mel got sich turribc cold
on hiia he went back to Harve and
wanted his IS cents which he paid
Harye for his services, but Harve re-
fused and said it wassent his fault that
Mel ketchcd sieh awful cold.
