Annual

The Standard Oils sell as a rule to
yield less on the basis OF their cash
dividends than any Of the Independent
stocks. This is accounted for by the
ultra conservatism OF their policy In
the payment OF dividends and the
large percentage OF earnings that are
turned back into the properties. which
results In the payment of substantial
extras from time to time.
An officer OF Texas Company states
that both gross and net earnings for
the three months of July. August and
September were larger than ever be-
fore In the history of the company.
After allowing for war taxes, earnings
at the present rate should show as
large n percentage this year on the in
creased stock ms Off the year ended
June 80 last, when more than s35 q
share on the s55. 500, 900 stock then
outstanding was earned.-Wall Street
Journal.

JUDGE SWINK LOSES
HEAVILY BY FLOOD

The June rise of the Mississippi
river last week overlooked the island
near Ste. Genevieve owned by Judge
E. E. Swink Of this place and Judge
Charles Meyer Of Ste. Genevieve, de-
stroyed all but 200 of 1000 acres of
wheat and $50 acres of corn out of
600. Besides this, 200 acres of wheat
on this side of the river was ruined.
The wheat prospect was fine, one of
the best stands, Judge Swink says,
that they have ever had, land their
losses at the prevailing price of
wheat may be estimated at between
100000 and $4,000. The loss on the
corn, too, is heavy, Even if the land
should drain sufficiently in time for
them to replant with some early ma
turing variety, all the seed and the
cost of planting the crop ruined is a
total loss.
