IN OUR TOWN.

(Fairbanks News-Miner)
 "In Town" the usual number of people who go to make up Our Town" everywhere with the usual number of the usual beliefs and personalities which mark the inhabtnants of Our Town" wherever that Town may be located of the Map There's the fellow who depreciates himself and the fellow who continually ap preciates himself beyond his merits there's the fellow who always optimistic and who boosts thousand times knocks once; the spendthrt who doesn't know the value of dollar and throws his money regard tighwad who even per rebate for cash the he evade and which rebate he is able get because the Town needs money badly that it is willing pay usury it, and which tightwad still believes that he is prince of expenditure fact all of them, of every notion are in Our Town"
 What has always appealed of humor is the that fellow can't realize that what he says of himself the entire people of Our Town" him, know just what he is and what is of him They keen observers the people of Our Town and they know the smaests what blame and praise is due every inhabitant of Our Town Nor all the talk all the bombast, all the boosting self abuse of others hide for the the merits demerits of every any inhabitant of Our Town. The people rule, in Our Town and they decide all questions between themselves and really through the newspapers. They don't cept surface discoveries pubished-they know the bedrock of humanity in Our Town and they confde their verdicts thereto.

THE NEW SHEET.

Tuesday evening, boys were busy distributing about town a new publication, K sheet cal ! "The First City," which was eagerly scrutnized. For its size. We must say that it contains enough venom to poison the mind of a community ten times the size of our fair city. Fortunately for us, the amount of malice contained therein is such that it shows spite behind, and as dirty work done in spite never hurts anybody, we have no fear of the enemy.
 In the first place the author-whoever he or she may be- shows cowardice in that the writer failed to give his or her name; but under cover of darkness-as it were, attacks others who have had the misfortune to differ with the writer. In the second place, the writer shows that he or she is inflated with words which he or she mistakes for ideas, most pronounced symptom of de- ceased mind which never fails to lead to an asy- lum.
 Evidently the author is resident of our fair city; but undeservedly so since he wandered off the path of righteousness, in that he or she had the printing of the sheet done outside of the city overlooking the fact that We are all striving to patronize home industry, an attribute which we thought had become fixed with every resident. However, in the author of the First City we find an exception. An exception that even lacks the common deceney of signing his or her own accusations and attacks. But what can we ex- pect from the feeble minded?

MILLIONS IN DIVIDENDS
FOR NEW JERSEY ZINC

Boston When the New Jersey Zinc
Company On May 5. disbursed its reg
ular quarterly dividend of per cent,
and an extra dividend of per cent,
there had been paid to stockholders in
the first five months OF this year
total of SO per cent, or 81, $50, 600 on
the 1876, 900, 900 capitalization. In the
first half Of 1915 there was paid out a
total of so per cent in dividends, which
involved, however, the distribution Of
only SIS, 900, 900, as the capital stock at
that time amounted to only $40, 600, 600.
In July, through the payment of $50
per cent stock dividends the capital was
jumped to $35, 600, 900 and dividend re-
guirements correspondingly increased
The principal beneficiary of these
record-breaking dividend disbursement
of the New Jersey Zinc Company is
August Hechsher, who will have re-
ceived over 81, 900, 900 between January
/, and May 5, on his holdings. Edgar
Palmer, the president and next largest
stakeholder will have received 1894, 092.
Assuming the largest holdings prior to
the stock increase Of last July to have
remained intact, the following compila-
ton gives an idea of the value of New
Jersey Zinc stock as an investment:

rsey Zinc stock as an Investment.

On the total capitalization of 1000
600 dividends of so per cent per annum
were paid for a number of years, but
the extraordinary earnings in the past
eighteen months and continued high
prices for the companys products
make it appear probable that as large
dividends will have been returned this
year on the $50 per cent larger capital
stock.
The foregoing facts and figures are
interesting in themselves. but doubly
so to people of this vicinity because
the zinc works located in Mineral Point
is an important cog in the great wheel
of said zinc company, and that David
b. and Thomas Jones, whose names
appear in the list of big dividend
sharers, were formerly of this place.

SENATOR BossARD, of Racine, a per-
sistent but reasonable progressive of
twenty-five years activity, openly ex-
presses the belief that the maintenance
of the success of the progressive cause
is vastly more important than the per-
sonal interest or ambition of any can
didate or individual, and emphasizes
the necessity for unity of action. "
Good conclusion. Yet, with unity of
action perfected it is essential that
every action be governed by common
sense, such sense as will insure unadul-
terated progressiyeness affiliated with
unmstakable economy. Then applause
and success would follow unsolicited.
