Years Vast Powder Earnings

Gross receipts of the du Pont
Powder Company for the year end
ing December 81 last, totaled
$31S,845,684, according to the an
nual report made public last Tues
day night. This was an increase
of 1,130 per cent as compared with
the average sales of 1913 and 1914
which reached S25, ,42S. The
net earnings for last year were
$S2, ,692 and besides the 6 per
cent devidends paid on the deben-
ture of the company a total of 100
per cent in dividends was distrib-
uted to the common stockholders
during the year. Since October,
1914, about S60,000,000 has been
spent on new plans for filling "war
orders" Early contracts with
warning nations were placed at
prices 25 per cent higher than
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1917-03-07

those prevailing before the war
and out of this price enough has
been set aside to meet the cost Of
the new plants and lower prices
were quoted on later contracts.
President Pierre S. du Pont says in
the report, "The Company is not
waiting for the end of the war but
is anticipating it with the view to
turning over the greatly expanded
munition plants to productive
commercial uses as soon as the alb.
normal demand for it's product
ceases. Plans have been perfect.
ed to cope with any financial con-
ditions that may develop after the
war" The report of President R.
H. Durham of the Hercules Pow
der Company for 1916, made pub
lie on Friday, shows that the con-
Germ earned 227s4 per cent on its
common stock and that it's biz
plants are to be put to individual
uses after the rush of war orders
ends. The gross receipts for the
year totaled S63 ,419, 029.55 and the
net earnings from all sources $16,-
658,872.07. Dividends Of IS per
cent were paid during the year on
the common stock and the net
earnings were equivalent to a rate
of 1854 per cent on the total in
vestment. The company added to
it's surplus during the year $4,000 :
600 besides paying dividends on
the common stock amounting to
about S7,000,000.

PEOPLES COLUMN
The Cost Of Electricity
To the Editor of Post:

i y IHt LulloI VI oot'
| read in the issue of Post of
January Ord, that Council is going
to consider increasing the supply
of Electricity in order to meet the
growing demand. | do not wish to
criticise Council, but wish to offer
few suggestions that | trust will
be helpful. At present | believe
the local lighting plant is operated
about four hours per night, and
that the fires under the two boilers
are banked during the remaining
20 hours Of each day. At present
there is no meter installed on the
generator. so that there is no re-
cord kept of the output OF the
plant. Operating boilers under
light loads is very uneconomical.
If the present boilers are in good
condition, one should be made to
carry the load. At present, | am
not far wrong when | make the as
sertion that they are using from
Is to 20 pounds of coal for every
kilo watt Of energy generated. At
the rate of $3.50 per ton for coal,
this energy generated is costing
them from 1-2 to 3 ID cents per
X. w. for coal alone. Price of Spot
Coal at present is $3.50 to Sc 90
per ton f. O. b. mines, while the
freight rate to Newark | believe
is S1.70. Therefore at this rate,
the cost per K. w. hour is about
twice that given above. Their sta
ton operation, oil, waste and
other supplies cost them over one
cent per K w. Hr. This is not in
Guiding anything whatever for
depreciation, m a t e nance, re-
pairs, and overhead expenses,
believe that Council could get
a good rate from the Wilmington
and Philadelphia Traction Com
pany, and am sure that they would
save money by doing so. I believe
they could enter into a 10-year
contract at 212 cents per XIV. Hr
Council have granted the above
company permission to run their
transmission circuit through town,
and that is worth quite little to
the above company.
In entering into a contract of
this kind, Council should insert a
clause, reserving the right to sup
~>1,, I'll oo,c,n,orc wit hin q 20 /, {
of one mile from town limits. This
would eventually give the town the
benefit of lower rate, as there i:
no reason why the various mill:
and factories around town shoult
not be supplied from this source o
power at some time in the future
The contract entered into shoult
be on a sliding scale basis so a
to give the Council the benefit o
a lower rate with increased dc
mand and with the increase in en-
ergy used. Contract should ais
save inserted clause for chea
power at off peak periods.
An automatic induction regulat
or can be installed at the loca
plant, which will hold the voltag
within 2%c at the center of distrt
button at all times and under a.
conditions of load. A single phas
regulator good for 100 XIV. ca
be installed for about 1000, or
3 phase $50 XIV. regulator can b
installed for about $4,000. Thi
regulator would require PRACTICAL
no attention if properly installed
Council should not grant tn
Power Company a perpetual RICH
for it's power lines thru town, a
this right should always be cor
tiguous to the Power contract wit
the town.

The Cost Of Egg Production

That not all of the argument
relative to the high cost of living
is in favor of the consumer, to the
discredit of the producer, is fore.
bly, set forth by a writer in a re
cent issue of the Baltimore Sur
who says:
'We have been having a great
deal about eggs for some time and
| thought it would be good thing
to have a little of the cost of pre-
ducing this wonderful egg. TIC
cost per hen in 1912 was S1.SO:
1915, $2.26; 1916, 1914; 1917, a
the present feed price will be
S4 As, or higher. Here | will give
the former prices of three of our
main grains for 1912, 1915 and
1916:
1912 1915 1916
Wheat 1901 S1.20 $2.0S
Corn ... SO so LOS

total of 1866 dozen for the year;
this at As cents a dozen would be
S749.70. Labor, S81; feed, 445;
total of S526; net profit, 1928 70.
In 1912 our net profit was $685.,
with eggs at the same price, Now
say we paid So per hen, or $500
house and fixtures, Sl60. Twenty
percent on $3.50 is S72, grand
profit of S151,70, or about $3.50
per week-a big salary for a poul-
try man. Now who is getting the
cream? Not the poultry man, We
see a lot about the housewife cry
ing about the high price of eggs

What's the Matter, Club?

What's the matter with the
Snowflake Rifle Club? Some of
the big daily papers have told
the world that Snowflake was
''one hundred per cent Ameri-
can" These same papers have
been watching for the announce
ment that Snowflake has 100
members to her Rife Club.
It's a bit strange that some
among us can't get it in their
heads that we, the United States
of America, are at war-these be
really war times. 1t is our duty,
no matter if we are too old (some
of u.s. to do all we can to comply
with the wishes and requirments
of our government. A home
rifle club don't mean that we are
going to march right out of town
and into Germany. 1t means to
do our duty towards helping our
government protect our homes.
Enlistment with the home rifle
club don't mean that the War
Department will get us any SOON
er than it needs us. We had just
as we'll wake-up to the fact that
our government needs US, wheth-
er it be to go to the front in the
battle line, plant an extra acre
in our farms, or to keep in tact
home guard organization. It's
bit strange and hard to under
stand that we are so slow, and
our government is calling us.
