Eighty-five people were present and
listened to a delightful program.
The talks by Mrs. Slocum and Mr..

The music by Mrs. Brown and DR..
Brastad was heartily encored. A very
pretty folk dance was given by the
high school girls and couple of Sc
lections were played on the new Vic
trola.

Observation-Disclosures CO.
INCREASES ITS CAPITAL STOCK

The Marshsll-M McC Cartney Company,
which heretofore has been doing busi-
ness with an authorized and paid-up
capital Of $4,000 and surplus of
$3.50, 900, has increased its paid-up
capital to $25O,OOO and it's authorized
capital to 100000. $4,000 Of paid
up capital will be per cent preferred
stock, which has been subscribed for
by Mr.. Marshall and MIR. Mccartney
The fact that twin city bankers have
offered to buy the entire preferred
stock issue is the strongest kind of
evidence Of the standing in financial
circles Of this company. The holdings
of the Marshall McC Cartney Company
are made up Of gilt edge securities,
mortgage loans and farm lands.
These are all held on q very conserv-
ative basis, being worth much more
in total than they are carried for on
the books Of the company.
The company was incorporated in
1901 with 4 small capital, and has
grown until it is now recognized in
financial circles as one Of the big in
stitutions in the state, with over one
quarter Of . million dollars Of live
assets. The resources Of the Marshall
Mccartney Company are at all times
behind and at the command of their
banks, giving the Marshall Nc Cartney
banks backing that few western
banks can boast Of. Oakes is the
home Office Of the company, and We
are advised always will be.

DEATH-DEALING KISSES

The most famous example of kisses
that have caused death is furnished bv
the story of the sprightly young Duchess
of Gordon, who raised so MANY rccruits
for the famous Gordon Highlanders In
the early days of the regiment recruiting
was very slow. but the Duchess attjred
herself In the regimental colors, and made
a tour of the various markets and fairs
Offering TO each recruit a guinea and a
kiss
Most OF the recipients paid for the kiss
with their lives. No sooner was the regi-
ment raised than it was sent to fight the
French, and in the first engagement in
which the Duchess's recruits participated
there was loss OF 800 killed and wound
ed, All the right Ranking company was
hit save one and he curiousIy enough
did not happen to be a recipient of the
young Duchess's kiss. lie was a canni..

guinea he sold his right to another nor
