Tslve<sids Company Has Interesting
Announcement Today

An rFTTtMiJ AAlNA~~~@-@
nouncement Il made today In an
other column that ought TO attract
every resident OF the city.
The Riverside Light Power and
Gas Company announces . plan
whereby its employees and patrons
are encouraged 10 save a nominal
sum each week and in q compare
lively short time receive guaran-
teed dividend paying stock or which
dividends will be paid regularly
twice each year. The stock also pays
dividends TO the purchaser from
the day he begins paying for 1t un-
der the savings plan and the money
so saved is not subject TO taxation.
Corporation stock is usually sold to
large investors who have one hum
dred dollars or the multiple there
of In ready cash to pay for the
stock but under the plan OF the
Riverside Light Power and Gas
Company the stock issue is made
attractive to the person OF moder--
ate income who desires to save but
has not before been offered a prac-
teal plan for doing so.
Few social organizations of the
day meet but what the condition OF
their less fortunate fellow being is
seriously considered. Means are
sought to give aid without the
semblance of charity which is so
often misunderstood by the really
needy. No person brings anything
into this world and neither can they
take anything out of 1t but in LIES
struggle some gain influence and
fortune while others fail to secure
even the necessary comforts of lte
1t is to these less fortunate persons
that assistance is being rendered by
those who have wealth and influ-
ence. Social clubs deal largely in
matters pertaining to the general
welfare of a community and direct
special attention to the betterment
of the conditions surrounding worthy
people. Individual philanthropists
interest themselves in certain lines
of welfare work in which they feel
some special interest and the cor
porations, at one time thought to
have NO soul, usually interest them
selves in the welfare Of their en-
ployees.
It remained for an Abilene cor
poration to extend its interest to
include those who are numbered
among its patrons. The Riverside
Power Light and Gas Company has
initiated q movement which has
never before been attempted by an
American corporation to enable It's
patrons with moderate incomes to
participate in the success Of the
company and at the same time en-
courage thrift and saving. Public
schools in many cities have adopted
the penny savings plan and the habit
Of saving instilled into the minds OF
the pupils at early age has been
the foundation for the success OF
many. The savings banks have con-
sistently urged the savings Of small
amounts by its patrons and the
building and loan societies have ex-
tended their field Of usefulness un-
til nearly all the larger cities IN
this country provide practical saw
ings plans for the citizens of its
community.
R The plan is simple, fair and safe
with encouragement for all who
want to start saving for the future.
It should be studied by every eresi-
dent of the city, young and old, and
it's good points will appeal to all.

THE AMERICAN GUILD OF ORGANISMS
STANDARDIZATION REGISTRATION

candidates for examination has stead
lily increased year by year, this year
enrolling the largest number, seventy
seven.
The growth Of the guild mas been so
rapid during the last few years that
plans are under consideration for or
ganizing divisions or sub-chapters, IN
order TO increase the guilds usefulness
ana influence over still wider fields
Not the least benefit accruing from
the establishment OF the guild is the
cemcnting of the bonds of friendship
and br1therliness among organIsts and
the greater incentive TO proficiency
fostered By close association. Up 10
the present all the officers have served
without salary. With present indica-
tons Of growth and work this condI-
ton must of necessity soon change.
Most have served assiduously for thu
good of the cause. and the standing Of
this department Of the art has been
raised in consequence. a standar1iza-
tion which can win recognition througt
similar channels is. we believe. the only
one worth while. Raising salaries and
putting the unworthy out of business
should not be the main purpose. Dill
gent study, an earnest purpose. a
sturdy character and fixed principles
and success is reasonably certain.
Fear that we or our colleagues vii.

restrict the output and make the prac
tice of an art contingent upon mem
bcrship in any self-imposed organiZa-
tion place hiHdrance upon advance
ment. Merit alone will and can win,
but merit setting high standard
which will draw men is far better than
trying to force them to a set level
The world is constantly seeking for
men OF merit and ready to pay the
price. To draw the diligent and able
man down and the lazy and shiftless
man I'D TO a common level is a strug
gle against nature; a hard and thank

Feeling the need Of some organiZa-
ton which would lend dignity and
power in furtherance Of its aims, the
organists came together in 1896 and or
ganized a guild under a charter granted
by the Board Of Regents of the Uni
versity of the State of New York. An
amended charter was granted in 1909.
This organization is known as the
American Guild of Organists. It now
has a membership o. between two and

Chapters are now active in almost all

rigid examination required to possess
this certificate; associates. those who
