HIGH SCHOOL NOTES :


Reverend Father Dooley spoke to
US Tuesday afternoon during the half
hour period and gave us a fine talk
or courtesy and the many ways in
which we can be polite to others. This
was something very much different
and something of which the students
were very much in need.
The Y. w. c "A. met Thursday at
4 O'Clock. Supt. Hargis spoke on The
Trial of Jesus" and touched on many
points new to the listeners. He also
told how much he appreciated the fact
what a difference it was making in
the school. After that the company
went over to the Domestic Science
rooms and served for the Red Cross.
Last Monday a new thing was in
stituted in the English classes. Each
student was required to prepare and
give a four-minute speech on War
Savings Stamps. From these two stu
dents from the Freshmen, two from
the Sophomores, two from the Juniors
and two from the Seniors were chosen.
These contestants met Wednesday in
the main assembly. The first speak
er on the program was Keith Scar
brough of the Sth grade. Keith is a
splendid speaker and has the making
of a real orator. His manner was
very pleasing as he seemed to know
just what he was talking about and
meant every word he said. The next
speaker was Burdick Haugen, of the
Senior class. then followed Roger At
kinsOn of the Sophomore, Herbert
Cheeyer, Of the Sophomores, Carl
O'Hair of the Juniors, William Leighty
of the Juniors, Theodore Hasle, Leon
Pultz. both of the Freshmen. Miss
Burgett, Miss Kjereland and Mr.. Nell
son judged the contest. The results
were: LIST, Herbert Cheever; 2nd.
Theodore Hasle; 3rd, Leon Pultz. The
winner receives a certificate from
Washington. making this a great
honor.
Miss Josephine Thayer, teacher of
the third grade, was married Monday
Milwaukee. She has been granted a
two weeks leave of absence. Miss
Sexauer is filling her place.
More high school boys have gone
to war. Fred Squirting. Forest Erie
and Donald Mitchell went to Huron
Monday evening to enlist in the ar
tillery branch. While Donald has not
been attending school this semester
he still seems like one of us. Forest
Erie will be greatly missed as he was
advertising manager OF the Bomb.
Fred Squirting just joined us this sem
ester and we hardly got to know HIM
before he left us.
Two of the Sioux Falls teachers vi
tied school last Thursday. They com
plimented Miss Titmarsh and NJ
Gregory very highly on the class Of
work done here.
A war savings stamp contest WAS
also held in the grades. Two We're
chosen from each grade, as in the II.
S. The result was that hundreds of
the children have bought stamps since
the contest. 1t also teaches the chill
dren to save and to keep accounts Of
their savings. The result Of the con
test was: 9Th grade-1st, Florence
Halverson: End, Eugene Mast. 7th

Dutch Oil Co. Nav
Double Its Capital
Is Per Cent Dividend Another
Proposition for Coming
Hague Meeting

Stockholders of the Royal Dutch
Petroleum Company, at meeting at
The Hague called for July "a will vote
on plan to double the capitalization
and to declare final dividend for
1917 of 18 per cent, making the total
for that year equivalent to 48 per cent.
This was stated in cablegram made
public Yesterday by Kuhn, Loeb G. Co.,
which firm in December, 1916, sold 222,-
oOO American shares of the company in
this market against the deposit with
the Equitable Trust Company of 74,-
600 Dutch shares of par value Of
100 guilders each.
The proposal for increasing the stock
from approximately 100, 100000 guiders
to 200,0O0,000 guilders provides that for
each two shares now held each stock
holder will get one new share in the
form of stock dividend and another
new share on the payment of 33 1-3
gullders, or approximately SIT.
The distribution of one bonus share,
according to the cablegram, is proposed
in order to make the "share capital
more in accordance with the capital
actually paid" The issuance of new
shares at par is planned to increase
available cash in Holland. because the
sales of the companys products are
made in sterling. and at the present
rate of exchange drawing on London
would entail a considerable loss.
The American shares of the Royal
Dutch Company sold at from 10O1a to
1919 on the Stock Exchange yester-
day, closing at 1041a for a net gain

u. S. May Send a
Mission to Spai1, to
Right Exchange
Experts, After Meeting
Here, Say Problem
Will Be Solved

Foreign exchange experts of the
leading New York banking institutions
were in conference at the Guaranty
Trust Company offices yesterday for
more than an hour with Fred I. Kent,
of the foreign exchange division of the
Federal Reserve Board, and Norman
Davies. of the Treasury Department,
discussing practical ways for correct
ing the adverse exchange situation be-
tween the United States and Spain.
Among the exchange men present were
George L. lie Blanc, Of the Equitable
Trust Company; Albert Breton, of the
Guaranty Trust Company; John E.
Rovensky, of the National Bank of
Commerce; Jason A. Nelson, of Brown
Bros. & Co., and Joseph T. Cosby, of
the National City Bank.
Although information of what trans
pired at the meeting was withheld on
the grounds that it might interfere
with the working out of the plans for
stablizing the Spanish exchange, it
was reported in authoritative quarters
that mission would probably be sent
to Spain on behalf of the Treasury De-
partment to handle that end of the
to correct the discount on the dollar
in Spain through the establishment of
an American credit in Spain or by
some other means is not known. For
elgn exchange men were confident
after yesterdays meeting, however,
that satisfactory solution of the
Spanish exchange problem can be
worked out.
At the present time the American
dollar is worth only IS per cent of it's
face value in Spain. Spanish pesetas
27& cents, whereas their normal ex-
change value is 1913 cents. Dollars
have been at a discount in Spain for
more than year and on several occa-
slons plans have been unofficially dis
cussed for correcting the abnormal
situation.
Foreign exchange bankers explain
that the discount on the dollar in
Spain is due to the fact that British
for war supplies bought from the
Spanish are being liquidated in the
United States. The trade balance be-
tween Spain and the United States is
running strongly in our favor, and
were it not for the fact that Great
Britain and France owed Spain heavily
on balance it is asserted that the dol
lar might rule at premium in Madrid
At recent hearing before the Sen
ate Committee on Banking and Cur
rency the statement was made that ef-
forts to obtain large credit for the
United States in Spain had failed, al
though it was proposed to deposit gov

Prosperity Prevails
All Over Country
United States Is Making Great
Showing in Trade
and War

Trade is at the flood tide of activity,
according to Bradstreet's report to-
day. No summer shut-downs are
noted, while the total of fl lures and
liabilities is the smallest reported for
decade. While wholesale trade is
quieter at primary points, jobbing is
brisk for this season. Retail trade is
good and prices high. Independence
Day launchings were feature of the
marvellous showing in shipbuildng
The "work or fight" law has had a
good effect already.
Dunn's weekly review says that,
measured by all of the traditional
berometers, business enters on the
second half of the year in highly
prosperous condition, and that com
mercial reverscs have been remark
ably moderate the insolvency statis-
tics plainly demonstrate. Yet the dis
tinction between volume and value of
transactions. for many weeks clearly
discernible, becomes increasingly ap-
parent as Tightening of the war re-
strictions continues, and the amount of
regular commerce that may be done is
lessening steadily from one cause OR
another.
New-York tribune., 1918-07-06

The great speculation which has
been so much talked about in the
financial district during the last two
or three months is strangely dila-
tory. In' spite of repeated predic-
tions that it was about to eventuate,
the movement is apparently no
more imminent now than it was
month ago. 1t looked for time,
toward the middle of May, as if
Wall Streets hopes might be real
lied, but the splurge in the market
which caused so much excitement
for a few days was only temporary,
and the gains then made were quick
ly wiped out when it became certain
that the enactment of new tax legis-
lation would not be postponed until
the end of the year, as had been pro-
posed. Recently stocks have been
doing better as far as prices are
concerned, but instead of big
speculation there is an extremely
dull and narrow market. with trans
actions consisting for the most part
of dealings among professional
traders. Little or no "outside"
speculation is in evidence. Even
such events as an increase in the
price fixed for copper give only mo-
mentary stimulation and fail to
bring a material increase in the VOL
ume of trading.
There is, however, undoubtedly
considerable buying for investment.
1t is not on an important scale, but
it has been going on for some time,
and the cumulative effect is appre-
ciable in that the floating supply of
stocks has been reduced thereby. At
least some brokers believe that such
buying is largely responsible for the
reduction in the supply, and that it
also accounts in part for the quiet
but steady advance of prices in the
last few weeks. 1t is the kind of
buying that pays little attention to
such things as heavier taxation, the
extension of government control
over industry, charges of profteer-
ing and other things which are of
great Importance to the speculator.
1t is concerned only with one thing
the outcome of the war. And in
vestors apparently are satisfied that
victory will rest with the Allies,
perhaps much sooner than seemed
possible early in the year. That is
why such announcements as that we
have a million men in France and
that ship production is exceeding ex-
pectations add fresh strength to an
otherwise sedate market.

Rates to Advance
In Eastern Canada
Dominion Board Acts to Meet
the Freight Rise in the
United States

OTTAWA. July S. - Conforming to
the action of the Director General of
the United States Railroad Administra-
tion ordering United States carriers to
increase transcontinental westbound
commodity rates from the Eastern
States to coast points, the Dominion
Railway Board has authorized a similar
increase in Canadian rates, effective
August 1.
The Railway Board considered this
action necessary because of the compet-
tive character of the traffic, and Cana
dian railways are authorized to in
crease commodity rates from Eastern
Canada so as to place them on at least
en- equality with the rates now in eff
fert from the neighboring states. Some
objection to the new rates is being
taken by Western boards of trade, and
a special session Of the board may be
called to consider the protests.

Relevant Comment
Copper May Go Higher

1t is said that at the conference be-
tween the War Industries Board and
copper men which resulted in the price
of copper being advanced to 26 cents
pound, producers wanted the amount
made 27ta, claiming that since the
price of 231a was agreed upon in Sep
tember last production costs had risen
at least four cents pound. But as accu-
rate figures as to mining costs cannot
be obtained until from sixty to ninety
days after a given months operation
producers were unable this week to
specifically substantiate their claim.
The War Board set August 15 for the
expiration of the time for 26-cent
copper to give producers another and
early opportunity to state their case,
when, they will be statistically pre-
pared
