Corporation Comm sion Makes Rule to Stop
 Frauds

At various times in the past com plaint has been made to the members of the state corporation commission of some alleged illegal methods which have been used by the holders of in vestment permits issued by the com mission. The permits are issued to companies who intend to sell stock in various commercial enterprises, and it seems that in the past it has been the custom of some of the promoters of the enterprises to get out from under the management of the company be- fore the organization is financially and otherwise able to stand on it's own feet. and as sometimes happens, the com pany cOllapses on account of the withdrawal of the boosters of the prop osition.
 In order to eliminate every vestige of such procedure, the commission has recently adopted a rule that it will not issue any permits unless the parties asking for the permits will agree to the provisions of the order covering the matter, the order being stamped on the permit, and reading as follows:
 This permit is granted conditioned that the stock issued for property olicilI Dt DOOltu anu IlOI SOlu, itOIl- gagged, assigned or offered for sale un- til the stock authorized to be sold by this permit is fully sold and the pro ceeds therefrom have been paid into the treasury of the company. Any violation of the conditions above mentioned shall render this permit void"
 As a result of the new order. a large number of the desired permits have been held up during the past week awaiting a reply from the parties who are asking the permit, as to whether they wish the permit issued under the conditions mentioned in the above quo tation.
 To the credit of the commission, it may be said that they are doing their best to prevent the floating of any wild cat" schemes which are designed to separate the investing public from their money and in return give them nothing but bunch of blue sky se- curities. and the commission is care fully scrutinizing every application for an investment permit that is placed before it. In order to receive the de sired permit, the company must make pretty good showing as to it's re- sources and financial standing, and if. upon investigation, the company's backing does not meet the approval of the commission, the application for the permit to sell stock is turned down.
 The commission has been especially active in Investigating all of the ap- plicatiOns which come from the min ing companies which are operating in the Oatman district, as under condi- tions such as surround the opening of new mining country, there are all ways more or less clearly defined in stances of fraudulent promoting. and great care must be exercised by the commission in order to prevent any fraud companies getting their permit to dispose of their stock in this state.

CARELESS SHOOTING

Too much care cannot Dc exercised by people hunting or shooting along public highways or on private property.
 Very often horses and cattle are the unfortunate and helpless victims of such careIessness. Just recently w. F. Lenman had a. horse shot in the front leg by some one who evidently did not intend to shoot the animal Some time ago the same person lost valuable heifer which died as a result of some ones carelesSness with gun. Aside from the loss thus sustained by owners Of live stock it is cruel to inflict a useless suffering upon innocent and helpless dumb animals. They are per haps as sensitive to pain as yourself.

HAS A PLAN TO KEEP OPEN
DISTRICTS FAIRGROUNDS
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes to Ask Con-
gress to Accept Voluntary Serv-
ice for Operation.

Washington's school Fairgrounds will
be open the year round, if plan which
Mrs. Susie Root Rhodes. supervisor of
Fairgrounds and a member of the
board Of education. offers materializes.
She proposes to seek from Congress
authority to accept voluntary service
for operating the grounds. and believes,
in the event of the request being
granted, that a sufficient number of
volunteer instructors can be interested
in the work to insure constant opera
ton of the school recreational facili-
ties.
The District has forty equipped school
Fairgrounds that are closed during the
summer, while twenty others are
operated five hours a day five days a
eek for a period of six weeks. Mrs.
Rhodes believes that there are in
Washington men and women interested
in child welfare work who would make
it possible to operate all the grounds
continuously without extra cost to the
municipality.
Mrs. Rhodes has just returned from
an inspection of playground facilities
in Newton, Springfield and Holyoke.
Mass, and New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, She saw some indoor swim
ming pools in operation and is consid-
ering including in the next estimates
for the department Recommendation
for the building of indoor pools on
some Of the local Fairgrounds.

the Potomac is that at Brent's wharf
the landing of the Potomac and Chesa-
peake line steamers in Port Tobacco
creek, Maryland, opposite Chapel Point.
Last fall the inshore end of the pier
was washed away by the seas, leav-
ing the pier head and warehouse
standing. To get out to the steamers
landing at the wharf a lighter was
necessary.
Recently the owner of the property
determined to rebuild the wharf. and
the work was completed a short time

Idle Envy

l see the husky young man
pass, and mutter to myself, ALAS !!
How much l envy him! I'm bent
beneath my weight OF years, the
finish to my view appears, while
he has strength and VIM" Blu.
when I've pondered things a
while, / reconstruct my faded
smile, and wear it on my face; |
say. youth has more grief than
age, more worry, trouble, futile
rage-I'd not be in his place. |
sit beneath my fig and vine, and
sweet serenity is mine, naught
can disturb my calm; extin-
guished are the fires that burned
my heart in youth, my eyes are
turned to Gilead, its balm. The
smoothest girl in town may pass,
the most resplendent, gorgeous
lass, no rapture will she rouse:
but that young man | envied late,
will spend the night before her
gate, and fill the air with vows.
He'll lose his sleep and appetite,
and silly verses he'll indite, on
wedding bells intent; he'll fret tand
fume and rend his soul, and when
she finds he's blown his roll, she il
wed some other gent Oh, youth
is full of rage and pain, and only
age is safe and sane, consoling
and sublime and so l sit beside
my door. and moralize an hour or
more, and have the blamedest
time. WALT MASON.
