Holding Down Dividends

"A very striking disposition exists on part of big corporation managers against distributing in the form of dividends current extraordinary profits said Hem ry Clews, in his weekly financial letter.
 While those engaged in turning out munitions usually secured the largest rewards, big profits have not been re- stricted to such concerns, but extended to many of the regular industrials; and even the railroads have shared in the general prosperity.
 "Circumstances considered, dividends as a rule, have been distributed very con servatively, and, while there have been many increases, the additional distribu- ton as a whole has been only frac- tion of the actual gain in profits. Sev- eral reasons contributed to the adoption of such policy.
 "Muniton makers naturally led in this conservative movement, and sought to protect themselves against the future by reserving sufficient funds to wipe of cost of plant or depreciation, to offset the rise in commodities and wages, to re- duce indebtedness and to leave a good surplus for meeting reaction or any other unforeseen conditions that may develop after the war;

Swimming in Tuscaloosa

Tuscaloosa is strictly in the swim, not only figuratiyely, but literally" said Charles w. Weatherford, former city con- missioner and prominent business man of that city. Swimming seems to be the chief pastime of all the people in our city this summer, the men, women and children all participating alike. Swimming parties are all the rage and the best swimmer is like the most. graceful dancer at a dance, in that he is in great de- mand for these affairs.
 ''The Tuscaloosa Railway company re- gently built a fine swimming pool at the amusement park at Riverview, and this has added to the interest in swim ming. Plans are now being considered for the construction of another of these pools at Rivervew. For many years Tusca- loosa has had a number of swimming clubs, but this year everybody has taken up the fad'

Big Aid for Farmers


 "The passage by Congress of the rural credits bill is triumph of justice and ends one of the big struggles of the Sixty-fourth Congress- said John c. Moses.
 Being in touch with many farming sections, I find the interest in the new bill growing fast. The President signed the act with a vote-getting compliment, and wished it well. All over the coun- try farmers are seeking information as to its workings. They want longtime, low-rate money-something they have never enjoyed; in fact. it was stranger to them. The new bill puts the farmer upon an equality with all others who have genuine assets, and makes the great credit of the country available to them
 Tt Is news to many persons that the farmer has never had the borrowing priv ilege without which the manufacturing and commercial interests of the country would perish.
 Because the farmer had no way to get money at a fair rate for a long time, the evils of the landlord system, one of which is the high cost of food have increased by leaps and bounds in the last decade.
 But the banking business can be made successful only by turning loans over and over. rapidly many times. The farmer and the banker work at cross purposes and the farmer has been largely shut out of the borrowing privilege. |.
 Lately, as farming methods have be- come more scientific. the farmers condi- tion has become worse. But with the formation of the new farm loan banks, and all interested understanding it's pro- visions, the trying times of today will pass; the farmer can make long loans at f. 5 and not to exceed per cent interest governed according to the earning power

THE DANCE. OF DEATH

To bloody grave, To sleep without a shroud. Wheel the wild dance!
 Brave sons of France, For you our ring makes room; Make space full wide For martial pride, For banner, spear and plume. Approach, draw near, Proud cuirassier! Room for the mess of steel! Throught crest and plate The broadsword's weight Both head and heart shall feel. Wheel the wild dance While iigtnings glance, And thunders rattle loud. And call the brave To bloody grave, To sleep without a shroud. Sons of the Spear! You feel us near In many ghastly dream; With fancy's eye< Our forms you spy, And hear our fatal scream. With clearer sight,
 Ere falls the night, Just when to veal or woe Your disembodied souls takes flight On trembling wing-each startled spr Our choir of death shall know. Wheel the wild dance While lightnings glance. And thunders rattle loud.
 And call the brave
 To bloody grave. To sleep without a shroud.
 Burst. ye clouds, in tempest showers, Redder rain shall soon be ours; See. the east grows wan Ere deadlier' bolts and direr flame Yield we place to sterner game, Shall the welkin's thunder shame; Elemental rage is tame
 To the wrath of man.

ILL SULZER, having been nonni- ID mated for President by the American party, is making desper- ate effort to stay in the limelight. Bill is a picturesque individual, but
 no matter As to Bill Sulzer how much and the American Party he polishes
 up his es- cutcheon, there are certain spots like that which gave Lady Macbeth con- cern, which will not "out."
 The first task MT. Sulzer has before him is that of telling the public just what the American party is and why it chose him as a presidential candi- date.
 Its name implies devoted band of patriots, but it's choice of leader had laid it open to suspicion.
 r TAMES WHITCOMB RILEY left an
 estate valued at approximately $20O,000, the fruit of his literary work. Nowadays it is not unusual for authors to have town houses and One Sweet Singer houses and Who Made Poetry Pay motor cars
 to convey them from one to the other, but the percentage of wealthy poets is still inconsiderable.
 The lofty browed critics as one man declare that Riley did not soar to great heights, he did not stand on the mountain tops, played round by thun- derbolts, he did not go as deep ss hades and as high as heaven.
 Maybe that's the reason why the Indiana poet found his verses profit able and won both fame and populari- ty, the one being by no means con- conitant of the other. He wrote for the child and the man in the street. Both heard him, understood him and loved him. The gift of humor helped As result there probably never was another poet who made as much out of his poetry as dear old Jim Riley, who never went to college and didn't have Byronic bone in his body. THE leaders of the progressive ! party did not conspire to bring about the nomination of MT. Hughes as the republican standard bearer be- cause they regarded him as a great statesman, but simply because he had never said anything against the bull
 moose. It was a Hughes Without negative proposi- Reunited Party tion, and like all
 such it was inher- ently weak. The progressives were apparently as strong on the eve of the Chicago convention last June as they were when they supported Col onel Roosevelt for the presidency four years ago, but some of them desired to return to the old republican organ ization and the principal reason or ex- cuse for a fusion was that Wilson could be defeated only by reunited republican party; and Hughes, it was thought, was the most available man on whom to unite.
 The reactionaries would not sup port a progressive and it will be found that 8 very large proportion of the progressives will vote the democratic ticket rather than support candidate who represents the machine bosses.
 Those progressives who feel that they were tricked by the "old guard and moose managers in collision will certainly not vote for Hughes; and their number is legion.
 President Wilson's prospects for re election were extremely bright week ago. They are even brighter today MT. Hughes speech of acceptance has fallen flat. On his campaign tour ht will follow the advice of his old guarc packers and try some line of discus don other than that touching the ad rninistration's foreign policies.

 A representative of the Southern railway in expressing his qualification over the Cummins amendment spoke of it in his enthusiasm as revolution. The outstanding fact, he said, was that the subject of mail pay had been taken out of politics and handed over to the exclusive control of the com mission.

the conclusion that Frank Gotten, the

Harry Foley, who attempted TO pro

that Gotch was in mood which made
negotiations impossible, the most sig
nifcant fact is that Foley says that

able Foley is considered one OF the
best judges of physical condition on
the Pacific coast, having trained many
boxers, including Willie Richie, who
did not lose fight while under his

THE LATEST GOSSIP IN SPORTING CIRCLES

All of the northwest collegiate con
ference members are expected to en-
ter while the best talent of the athle-
tic organizations of Seattle, Portland
and Spokane will be seen in action.
Under the circumstances the games
take on decidedly intersectional
flavor and there is unusual interest in
the result of the meeting between the
athletes of California versus the north
west.
The disastrous start made by the
Olympic club basketball team, present
national champions, in the games be-
ing played on their way to Chicago
where on March 16, II, IL they will try
and defend their title, has shaken
lot of the confidence which, up to this
time, has been felt by their club-mates
here in their ability again to win the

ed and unless a quick and generous
brace is taken, II is felt that their
showing will be anything but impress
siye.

ed by many to be the best player on
the coast, who has been tower OF
strength in the past but who was un
able to take the time for the long

and position for us. BY filling the
duties of our state, whatever it be,
we fill our place in Gods great de-
sign and carry out the work God ex-
poets of us. AS far as we can see,
our lot will be as it now is to the end
of our days. Some slight change
may come, and laudable ambition
to "get ON" is never to be discour-
aged, but substantially the vast ma
iority of men live and die in the
position and state in which God placed
them from their birth. 1t is possible
that in other circumstances it might
be easier to serve God. If we had
greater riches or better health, or
less sorrow and anxiety, or more con-
genial companions, we might do more
gOod-or rather we think we might,
But that is not the point. We are
what we are by Gods blessed provi-
dence and decree, and in that set of
circumstances, amid those surround
ings, with that amount of health and
of goods of this world, we can do
what God wants /us to do, and make
our lives full to the brim of merit for
eternity. THE life of laborer that
is content with what he hath shall
be sweet, and in it thou shalt find a

SUCCESS IN LIFE.

Every true mother feels that the
best in every department OF life is
none too good for her child says the
Rosary Magazine. She spares no
pains, no labor, to make him happy.
She would give her all to be able to
guarantee for him a bright and use
full future. All her days she plans
how best she can assure him an abid-
ing success in life.
Success in life! but what is the true
success-the success that alone mat
ters? Is it material, or physical or
intellectual? Or is it not primarily
and essentially spiritual? And if the
latter, then surely all the mothers
planning, nay, even all her praying
should be for the spiritual growth and
spiritual development, and spiritual
rounding out of her child To Chris
tian mother all culture is hollow I'M
less it refines the soul; all education
is a mockery unless it disciplines the
spirit; all progress is empty unless it
be the conscious going forward, step
by step, to a closer union with God.
These are such undeniably basic
principles of true Catholic mother
philosophy that they deserve to be
held up before the eyes of the world
today. For worldly mothers in our
time have set quite another goal for
their children. Even the secular maya
zines have awakened to the realization
of the appalling indifferences of the
modern mother to the best-because
the spiritual interests of her off
spring. From one of them we quote
the following arraignment of the par
entail astigmatism which obtains in
contemporary society 9@''-n
Parents often seem to care more for
the bodies of their children than for
their minds and morals. Money is
lavished on food and sparingly spent
on books and papers. Fine clothes are
provided to protect and adorn their
bodies, but church and Sunday school
are neglected. They are encouraged
to train their nerves and muscles, but
spiritual culture is not suggested.
| Conversation turns on sports and So
ciety rather than on history and edu-
cation. The vulgar, demoralizing
funny" paper is furnished, and beau
tiful, uplifting pictures are withheld.
The making of money is emphasized
but the proper spending of it is not
discussed. Parents who sorrow over
hayward and worldly children wonder
ingly ask pastors and teachers how to
save these untaught, misguided youths
strangely forgetting that almost all Of
the active influence of the homes have
tended toward worldliness. Theoreti-
cally they desire their childrens well
fare, but practically they have failed
to cooperate with pastors and teach
ers, and too late realize their folly.
Rarely do children overcome the par
alyzing power of spiritual parental
poverty. Many modern homes need
old-time religion and old-fashioned
common sense.
