ABprA LADIES, AID MEETS.


Abtta Syringe, March 3. 1915.
In an executive meeting of the
Ladies' Aid Society, Thursday, q
wide range Of subjects were discuss
ed celative to the furtherance Of
christian work in our midst.
The pastor, Rev. Leucke, was away
attending q conference now In SEES
sion in New Orleans, but with his
usual thoughtfulness and eagerness
to be helpful he left suggestions with
the efficient secretary. who also read
beautiful and impressive prayer
which brought u in accord with the
importance Of earnestly doing with
our might what our hands find to
do.
A system OF finance was agreed
upon in an endeavor to retain the
pastor for half his time. The plan
precludes any irksomeness, and we
hope for success.
Committees were appointed to
visit those unadlliated with any
other branch of christian service,
and invite them to join US, this COM
mittee being composed of those who
are neighbors to the strangers,
thereby promoting soctability while
extending the courtesies Of the
church and club.
Charity work was taken up and
provision made by donation for ne
cessary comfort Of the sick and
needy who should be remembered in
the "In-as-much ETC." Sheets. pill
low cases, gowns, towels, ETC.. were
offered the committee acting Good
Samaritan.
The subject Of acquiring Z ceme-
terry was disapproved and was tabled.
Plans were enthusiastically dis
cussed for the Easter Gift Sale, to
be the Monday following Easter.
This sale will consist Of plants Of all
kinds, end articles both useful and
ornamental. valued not over fifty
cents.
The literary section Of the meet
Ing was filed BY . reading bearing
on the perplexing theme OF life in
which the good suffer and. with all
seeming injustice, the wicked pros
per and are happy. From Christ
who was martyred and Barabbas wao
was made = hero. down through
many contrasting historical charac-
tiers, We have examples. as In our
own observation we are const, aimed
to ask WHY"
This article was followed by the
reading of . selected poem. taat Of
fered ntting comfort and consola-
ton spiritually:
"In pastures green Not always,
sometimes He
Who knoweth best In kindness
leadeth me
In weary ways where heavy shadows
be:
Out Of the sunshine. warm and
soft and bright.
Out Of the sunshine into darkest
"And by still waters?" No, not al
ways 30:
Oftimes the heavy tempest round
me blow,
And DER my soul the waves and bill
lows 80.
But when the storms beat loudest
and I cry
Aloud for help, the Master standeth
by
And whispers to my soul. 10. II
Dc l."
Above the tempest wild l hear Him
say,
Beyond the darkness lies the Per-
feet Day,
In every path Of thine l lead the
way"
So whether led in green or desert
land,
I trust, although I cannot under
stand.

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL
ASSESSES STOCKHOLDERS
Call Is Issued for 80 Per Cent.-Ma-
rine Purchases One Cause

NEW YORK. May 9.-The American
International Corporation has made call
this, morning for a payment of 80 per
cent from common and preferred stock
holders of record May TO-
The payments are to be made in three
instalments of 10 per cent each, on June
9, July 10 and August 10.
Stockholders are given the privilege Of
making all three payments on or before
June 0. in which case they will receive an
interest adjustment at the rate of per
cent, which is equal to approximately 10
cents a share
The call of 80 per cent was not an un-
expected development especially as It has
been generally known for a week that the
company has purchased substantial blocks
of stock of both the International Mercan-
tile Marine and United Fruit Companies,
Obviously to finance these purchases the
company required additional amounts.
The call now made will furnish SIS 000,-
900, making the total amount outstand-
ing S25,000,000, 20 per cent, previously
having been called and paid.
This company has a total capitalization
of S50,00O.0O0, of which $4,000, 900 is
in common stock and $1,000.0OO of man
ayers shares.

WHY CANADA AIDS RAILROADS
Minister of Finance Says War Causes
Decrease in Earnings

OTTAWA, May 9.-Minister of Finance
White has issued statement giving tn,
reasons for the proposed loan by tho
Canadian Government of S15,O0O,0OO and
SsOOO,OOO respectively TO the Canadlau
Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railroads, to enable the latter to meet
interest charges due on bonds the coming
year
The war II was said, had caused great
decrease in earnings of all Canadian rail-
ways and lowered the rates at which
they could market their securities
The Canadian Northern and the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railroads. according TO the
Finance Minister, has sold several hun
dred million dollars worth of securities
In the United States, England and Cont
mental Europe, and financial disaster be-
falling them would damage the whole
credit of Canada. 1t did not appear, he
added. that either road would be able to
earn operating expenses and interest
charges for several years.
The government, he declared. would ap-
point three directors to represent it on

COTTON PRICES ADVANCE;

Selling by Timid Longs, Due to Gym

NEW YORK. May 9.--Quotations on the
cotton exchange at the opening this morn
ing prevented from making anything like
full response to steadiness at Liverpool
by the selling of timid longs on the rear

houses and Southern interests buying on a
moderate scale. Before the end of the first
10 minutes of trading further gains of 1
to . points had been scored
The Mexican complications did not bring
any increased volume of selling into the
market, and some traders considered that
the calling out OF the Texas militia was
likely to reduce the supply of farm .bor.
Business. however was less active than
II was yesterday, and many have been
restricted to some extent by nervousness
over the affair, while fluctuations later in
the morning were more or less irregular.
Near the end of the day a wave of
buying sent prices into new high ground

PARIS. May. 9.--The Kaisers response

tire week Today the successes of our
troops against yesterdays great Verdun
attack gave prices n new flrmness.
Means of replacing the enormous
amount Of bank paper was the important
subject introduced to the Political Econ
omy Society by Charles Ricot, director
of Industrial and Commercial Credit, who
showed the reason why the usage of
checks has not developed in France as II
has in England, and states that II is due
TO the lack of a clearing house for the
exchange bank paper. In normal times
gold is clumsy compared to checks.
Nj. Deschamps, chief of economic studies
for the Bank of France, explained that
the Increase Of paper in France is only
1853 per cent. while 1t is much greater
in Germany. Russia, and even England.
to the surprise of those who attributed
the rise In exchange to the amount of our
paper
AS president of the meeting I said I
did not consider that the paper had in
nuenced the exchange rate There is an
other and simpler cause. We buy heavily
in the United States and in England. and,
our gold, pay in paper little of
which is returned because we have lit
tie merchandise to export. Bank of France
paper Is of no importance TO foreigners
They want the means of payment which
suits them, and of which our supply is
small
What we must fear rs an increase of
bank notes after the war. The Govern
ment's first duty will be to reimburse the
Bank Of France for its advances, allowing
it to re-establsh gold circulation. 1t will
he the banks business to replace as quick
ly as possible superannuated currency
and paper payments by checks and clear
ing house methods.
