give assent and demanded payment for
their stock. An agreement was reach
ed between the dissenting stockholders
and the trust company to submit the
question of the value of the trust COM
pany's stock to the arbitrament of the
court. The report of the appraisers ap-
pointed in the case placed a valuation
on the tangible assets of the company
Of $364.47 on each share of stock and
allowed an equity of $25.17 as the value
OF the deposit accounts taken over from
the trust company by the Corn Ex-
change Bank.
The trust company contested this
valuation and commended that the item
appraised for the value of deposit ac-
counts should not be allowed. Justice
Greenbaum holds: That the large
amount Of deposits transferred must
have substantial value scarcely can
be gainsaid, and since the value found
by the appraisers does not appear to
be excessive. their finding in that be-
half should not be disturbed"
Justice Green baum also held that in
terest due to the dissenting stockhold-
ers should run from the date of the
ming of their dissent rather than from

TWO MASTERS

lByW. HI. Dugda1e exclusively for this paper
You can not serve two masters, it's hard
and bitter thing,
You can't serve God and Mammon and avoid
the serpent's sting;
1t would be bitter lesson added to those al
r,ady learned,
The fondest feelings of your heart would be
most rudeiy spurned.
You can not serve two masters upon the land
or sea,
You can't afford to take the chance to risk
your liberty;
You can not hoist Old Glory till you.are half
seas oe'r,
Then hoist the British ensign when you reach
the English shore.
You can not serve two masters and worship
at their shrine,
If you are clad in vestmentS that are not truly
thine;
Some one will know your weakness and you
may never know,
The cause Of your undoing, you should 60 a
little slow.
You can not serve two masters in any walk
in life,
The cradle is the place to start to enter in the
- strife;
You can't be neutral on these lines, its either
love or hate,
Your words and actions tell the tale and this
decides your fate.
You can not serve two masters with any
sense of pride,
Who will you claim as master when you cross
the great divide?
Nho knows when hearts are loving and ten

Dr. was it but fancy his soul had round you
thrown?

than warmth in winter? But we
have not yet provided ourselves
with a visible means OF. support.
This is important and problem not
easy to solve. No place offers a
better opportunity that your own
home town, it has all the advantages
of a big city, with. few of its heart
breaking disappointnents, and here
you will be surrounded by good
influence, that is both elevating and
encouraging and when you have
mastered all the opportunities at
home and are fully equipped for
bigger things, then you may risk
reaching out into new field of USE

Goodrich Tires. Snys Itobert &. Dunn,
Are scientifically Built for
Big MILEAGE,

What makes ti!e give big mileage?
This question is always the go-ahcad
signal for warm discussion among mo-
torists and tire men. Users OF tires are
beginning To ask themselves this ques-
ton and are looking for the correct an
swer with increasing insistence be-
cause they realize that il il possible to

On the other hand. If extra pile. Of

The real long mileage tire is the tire

Along these lines Robert G. Dunn.
