For Children s Care

Clarksburg and vicinity have long
8telt the need OF some means Of car
Ing for unfortunate children. AS the
city grows this need becomes more
acute, and the demand for relief in
some form, becomes more and more
urgent. Many cases are known
where mothers are left destitute and
with little children TO care for. These
mothers cannot provide for their
children except by the day or week.
and they cannot 10 this for lack Of
care for tire little ones while absent
from home.
Under present conditions public
authorities are unable to afford the
necessary relief. III fact. the only re
lief Of a permanent nature offered by
the public involves a separation OF the
child from it's mother and breaking
Up OF the family which Is not in any
sense desirable in most cases.
II is also true that the best form
Of charity consists in helping those
Nm need to help themselves.
Recognizing this need and desiring
to aid In aTordlng relief q number of
our philosophical and charitable in
clined citizens have taken steps to
meetthe situation In business-lifo

Business conditions continue TO improve

in sight other than the possibility of war
is the labor situation.

INVESTORS SHOW
MORE INTERESTIN
PREFERRED STOCK
Brokers Favor First-class
Industrials Instead of
Railroad Securities
NEW HOLDERS BENEFIT
Bv BENJAMIN JOHNSON

The reactionary spirit in the market
since the elimination of the great advance
last November has created a very con-
servative tendency in investment circles
and has emphasized a very favorable con-
slderation of preferred shares of success
fully managed corporations for at least a
large proportion of investment funds.
It is known that many of the old-tmc
conservative banking and brokerage
houses of New York have, in fact, for II
year past, been urging investors to buy
the preferred shares of good industrials
in preference to the preferred stocks Of
railroads or any kind of ordinary shares.
The wisdom of this becomes apparent,
as from time to time acCumulations OF
ividends-amountinF from 71a to 30 per
cent-are being gradually paid off, thus
giving to present holders the benefits of
the accumulations of which former hold
ers have been deprived.
1t is also noticeable in the serious de-
cllnes of the last three months that pre-
ferred shares have declined inhnitesimal-
ly compared with the shrinkage of COM
mon stocks.
The belief seems to be general that fur
ther confidence and preference should be
shown toward this class of stocks, all of
which in the prevailing wave of prosper
ity should render very good account OF
themselves to the present investor.
