you could pay dividends on your
stock without making q cent on
your business transaction"
Denies Improper Purpose
Doctor Ball said that was posi-
BILE, but would be poor business. and
Il was not intended TO handle them
in that way. The certificates. he ex-
planned, were simply receipts for
prof essional services. II was up to
the holder to get his moneys worth
every year by purchasing enough
goods from the company at low
prices to make II profitable.
Board Takes Action
When the smoke Of battle clear
ed away, 1t was announced that the
charter board would issue an order'
substantially as follows:
That Ball should deposit MS
$500, 900 promotion stock with the
state bank commissioner. with a
written stipulation that 1t should
not be sold for twenty years.
That $4,000 worth Of worthless
Ball Medical company stock, which
had been exchanged for $4,000 IN
treasury stock Of the Ball Manufac-
fury company, be replaced with cold
hard cash by December 1.
That the agents of the Ball COM
pany be not allowed to represent
that the certificates Of commercial
cooperation had been passed on ny
the charter board, but that these De
sold only with the distinct under
standing that they did not have the
approval of the state charter board
Under these conditions the COM
pany may continue to sell stock IN
the state.

he damned the United States and
wished that he may never hear OF

than fulfilled by the u. 8. navy. The
story IL very well told by DIR. Hate,
and interested the boys very much.
