several years ago. In fact. the plans for
disposing OF III" companys assets at pre-

the point where a committee of first pre-
ferred stockholders has been formed. and
the members Of the committee are busy
eNpla ming TO other shareholders the
benefits OF liquidation. Stockholders are
asked to deposit their holdings with the
Guaranty Trust Company. Among the
reasons given for the contemplated liqui-
dation Of the company the spread of
prohibition and the restricting of brew

1t is also pointed out that because the
business is considered non-essential
operation OF the plants is difficult The
fourth reason aliudes TO the fact that the
company has not paid its 6 per cent an

Investor may purchase the same with
the absolute certainty OF receiving his

must not be lost sight of that the Gov
eminent, In assuming this guarantee,
runs no great risk OF losing, as the larga
majority of the roads for "A considerable
time have shown a substantial surplus
over their interest requirements. Tho
question next in mind is whenj to expect
the return OF the roads to the owners
and what will be the conditions con-
fronting the roads at that time. VIII
they be returned In a better or worse
condition, financially and physically, and
allowed, as formerly. to shift for them
selves under repetition OF tho old
short sighted policy of restrictions and
regulations? We believe they will never
be returned TO their former position un-
der individual ownership and manage
ment, and the Government will per
manently have ne control and the oper-
alton of the same. More than likely a
working agreement or partnership be-
tween the Government and private own
ers may eventuate. with the Govern
ment in practical control. and this being
the case, the Government will unaues-
tionably see that the rates are suffi-
Gently remunerative to prevent the op-
Grafton Of the roads from becoming a

A Holiday Session.

A market sandwched in between a
holiday and a Saturday could hardly
be n very lively affair, as yesterdays
session demonstrated. The absence Of
many active financial men of course
explains the inactivity of stocks, though
prices generally hardened as the day
advanced. Those who found It neces-
ssry to visit their offices yesterday were
still enthusing over the Independence
Day celebrations and war talk was more
II. favor than market gossip, which in
dicatcs a healthy patriotic state of
mind. Partners OF number of big
FIRMS discussed the military outloS< with
great optimism, and were much more
interested in the war bulletins than in
the financial news. This was 'he fea-
rure OF the day in the financial COM
munity.

Hours After Last Ger

In an interesting letter received by
j.. j. Dunlop, assistant postmaster,
Leo johnson, quartermaster of a
base hospital in France, describes the
war work performed by the knights
of Columbus lodge. >
One incident mentioned, told of the
two K. c. secretaries who were the
first war workers to reach Hatton-
chatel, arriving less than 10 hours
after the last German had r%etreated
from the place. During the barrage,
he says, both secretaries worked with
an artillery unit and provided the
gunners with smokes.

Kitchens are a popular and common
spectacle at the front. Operated by
a crew Of four of five men these
kitchens ar equipped to provide hot
chocolate and crackers for the men
at the front. Each crew also carries
100000 cigarettes, soap, candy and
other things for free distribution
among the soldiers.
The kitchens are located near the
front where they care for men going
into battle as well as those coming
Tout of the lines. They also provide
food for those coming out, of the
lines wounded, and there is daily
most ardent appreciation given by
the boys. according to Lieutenant
Johnson.
Leo johnson left the city the latter
part Of June for an eastern camp
where he spent several months in
training. After arriving in France
he was commissioned lieutenant and

Pneumonia, developed from Span

Nurses Are Wanted.
The Red Cross influenza commit
tee today again sent out an urgent
call for nurses, trained and unframed,
to report at the Red Cross headquar-

ance that as many women as possible
respond to the call and place them
selves at the disposal Of the Grand
Forks county chapter which has made
provisions for paying for services
rendered.
The danger just now is not, it ap.
