many of them having reached middle age in the city,
still leading hand to mouth existence cooped up in
stuffy flats roomng houses broken in body and spirit
and spending half their idle hours dumby wondering what
induced them to leave the village False pride keeps them
from returning and the mild of the citynoise and

Thus the village but half of the story the crowded
city is the other half The GazetteTmes concludes its
comments with the statement that Elf supernatural
power could be invoked by which right distribution of
American youth could be made from the village
great and pressing problem of the future growth of the

very fact that the village lives and has lived for centuries
is proof that it has merits worth perpeuatng. Yet it's
youth encouraged in their dreams of power to the point of
ntoxication, drift to the city better equipped to
quer it than to rise superior to the disadvantages Of the
village The exceptional youth needs encouragement

that villages prosper and become better places live than

THE WAR AND WATERED STOCK.

Cessation of war business may leave industries
is commended high and dry after the BOOM but it will also
leave others in vastly improved condition. The latter
suit has already been made certain with respect to the In
ternationa Mercantile Marine whose $100O00OOO of in
debtedness has been virtually wiped out by shipping prof
ats in the last year Another example the United States
Steel corporation Like the shipping company United
States Steel heavily overcapitazed Both prod
ucts of Morgan finance AS result of the war; United
States Steel like the ship corporation has squeezed the
water out Of its stock.
Early last week. sixteen years after the corporation
organized yet for the first time in it's history United
States Steel exceeded $500 share the New
York Stock Exchange Later the week the record quo
tation of 103T reached. Back of this attainment
there lies story of much interest to American business
In 1904 says the financial OF the New York Times
when steel at it's lowest point the total stock
par value 00 appraised by the stock market
being worth just $42 At the closing price last
Saturday this issue rated at 1926 600 The
original capitalization of the corporation 81 1888 49,
800 The total assets said by Wall street statist
clans to amount to only 10000 including the $780,
100000 allotted by the promoters to themselves for their
work. "On that reckoning says the Times mot only
all of the $508,302 900 of stock water but
$142, $4,000 of the preferred we'll" United States
Steel common is rated at $526092 900 and the total
issue at sos 656000 In other words the extraordinary
profits OF war business have enabled the corporation
all the water out of it's securities and to make
siderable advances above par.
1t is said that securities of United States Steel
have ustabe basis because of the policy of the corpo
ration in making Refreshments out of its earnings AL
though for the last fifteen years this rule hes been in eff
