But fewer for me and for you.
The longest one now will soon reach
it's end,
That's a fact we all know to be
true. ~
And we also know this as each one

We surely have one less to stay.
And it matters but little how much
we may try,
We shall all reach the last one
some day.
II we are prepared when that last
day shall come,
And are trying our best to live
right.
How precious the thought we shall
get TO that home,
Where the Bible says cometh no
night.
Neither sickness, or sorrow. or sin
shall be there,
We shall sen our Dear Saviour and
friends
May the Lord help each one Of us
here 10 prepare
For those pleasures that never have
end.
Yes. help MS Dear Lord as the days
come and 60.
To feel we are walking with Thee.
And TO know Thy dear presence is
helping us so,
From temptations we all shall be
free.
Then help us Dear Lord to watch
and 10 pray
And 10 never do that which is wrong
So that all who are Thine. at the
close OF each day.
Have their hearts filled with hope
and sweet song.

Stockholders TAKE
ATLAS POWDER issue
Nearly Unanimous Demand
for Offering of Preferred
and Common Stock
LARGE MAJORITY PAID
FOR SHARES IN FULL

The Atlas Powder Company announces
a most gratifying response to their
stock offering recently put out. The
offer consisted of $4,000 shares Of thel
per cent cumulative preferred stock,
par value 81 ,5OO.0 600, and G,0OO shares OF
common stock, par value 100000. EachI
stockholder of record as of April 30 was
privileged to subscribe on the basis Of
30 shares preferred at par and 20 shares
of common at los for each 100 snares
common held, payable in cash, or in the
per cent. ten year income bonds Of the
company, or both. ! ivilege Of payment
by installment being allowed All but
very. few shares of both preferred and
common were subscribed for. the return
being over 90 l-2 per cent of the entire
Offering The small unsubserlbed por
tion represents principally rights tied up
at this time in Europe.
One of the unusual features of the
| subscription is the small number Of
stockholders who exercised the privilege
of payment by installment, a very large
majority taking up their subscriptions
/ in full. AS a result of recent offer and
exchange previously made, the Atlas
( Powder Company has had turned in
J practically so per cent of the original
/ issue of S3,00O,O00, par value of per
cent. ten-ycar income gold bonds, and
! the company mas just issued an an.
nouncement to the effect that under the
! bond indenture between it and the Guar
/ anty Trust Company of New York the
! Atlas Powder Company will redeem on
! August /, 1915, all Of its then outstand-
/ ing 9 per cent. teniyear income gold
! bonds at l02 per cent. of their face
| value. in cash, together with accrued in
! terest to August !, 1915. This makes
an entire cleanup of the bond issue
within the space of three months, and
leaves the outstanding 6 per cent. cumu-
lative preferred stock as a very attract
i've senior security. This new preferred
stock became cumulative May ! last, and
dividends are payable quarterly. begin
ming August /. An extra dividend ol
l-2 per cent. in addition to the regular
quarterly rate of l ID per cent, was
paid on June 10 on the common stock
The extra disbursement on the junior
shares is the result of good earnings
and the Atlas Powder Company report;
continuance of very satisfactory busi
ness, both in the regular commercial
lines and in special orders for chemica
products due to the war demands.
As recently announced, very sub
stantial and controlling interest in thu

AN AUTOMOBILE LICENSE TAX.

self-propelled vehicles are practi,
cally alone interested in this work,
the expense should fall on such own
ers. The necessary amount of money
a be raised by a license tax. 10 be
graduated according to the size Of the
car.
A ride over Gordon's lane jas.
now will convince you that it would
save money to owners of machines
to pay a license tax of considerable
amount.
Such a tax, if authorized by the
legislature, should be expended in
the townships where the owners of
the machines direct. Each township
would of course first look after its
own roads, and then any surplus
funds should be expended on those
roads most travelled outside of the
township. The money should not
be mixed with ordinary county funds,
but should be paid out on the war
rants of a board in each township
which should have charge of the
work Of keeping the roads dragged or
scraped.
