Phillips Petroleum

Question-Will you please advise me
whether should buy 100 shares of
Phillips Petroleum. A friend Of mine
phoned me that he thought | could
make some money on same. l will
thank you for any information you
can give me on this Stocks. S.
Answer-The Phillips Petroleum
Company was organized in July, 1917,
and controls over $4,000 acres of oil
and gas lands in Kansas, Texas, Ken
lucky, Louisiana and Oklahoma. On
July l of this year the company had
300 oil and gas wells, seventy five of
which had been finished since January
l, 1919. At that time its production
was 1000 barrels a day. 1t is said to
be increasing now. There are $5,0OO,-
900 Z per cent cumulative convertible
preferred stock. par value 500, and
l55,934 shares of common, no par
Dividends are paid regularly on the
preferred. but there is none on the
common. For the quarter ended De-
cember 81, 1918, the last we have, there
was SlS4,320 balance on the common
stock. We cannot undertake tonadvise
either purchases or sales for specula-
ton and the shares of companies en-
gagged exclusively in the production of
oil must be regarded as speculative.
Nova Scotia Steel
Question-Can you tell us about tho
condition of Nova Scotia Steel and
Coal Common and the likelihood of its
maintaining the present dividend rate :?
Why is United States Industrial
Alcohol common cx-rights selling as
low as it is, if it pays 16 per cent in
dividends Is it expected that the
new Alec Motor fuel will add to the
earnings of this company "A. S. C.
Answer-Nova Scotia Steel and Coal
Company earned 1921 per cent on the
S15.0O0,0OO common stock in 1918,
against $40 per cent in 1917. The
company reports once year only, so
We cannot tell what the current earn
ings are. but we understand that it
is making progress. The coal strike
here probably will cause an increase
in the price of coal in Canada. The
chairman of the board of the United
States Industrial Alcohol Company
stated August "a, 1910, that he saw
no reason why the present amount of
dividend disbursement should not be
available during the development
period. This would mean a dividend at
the rate Of s per cent on the total of
common stock, as increased. The new
AlcO fuel is expected to bring large
results.

HEAVY RAINS HELP CROPS

JULIAETTA-The copious rains
during the past week will cause fall
grain to stool better, thus assuring a
heavier yield; it will be good for the
spring grain already up, by helping
the roots to go down deeper into the
soil; while in the higher attitudes the
grain that has just been sown or is
yet to be seeded will find a perfect
bed for termination. Everything now
looks favorable for a bumper grain
crop this season.

"The first step in mans emancipa-

Him whom the Master said would
'reprove the world of sin because they
believe not on me- 1t is a blessed
thing thus to become convinced of
sin. because this constitutes the first
requisite for the penitent sinner who
is to seek his salvation through Christ.
The second and equally necessary
step is the appropriation of Christ's
completed redemptive work by the
sinner. This is done through the spir-
it's conviction of righteousness. This
makes men new creatures in Christ,
and guides them back to the condi-
tons from which man fell-submis-

and a announcement of their own will.

through faith ever becoming more
marked through union with Christ.

April 3 the state board of exam

legislature directing the sale of

Methodist Episcopal Church.

Yesterday was a great day at the
Methodist church. Large attendance
marked the services. Also a deep in
terest. At Sunday School there were
425. And at the morning hour the
church was crowded.
In his sermon in the morning the
pastor stated that n of the worlds
greatest needs was to have the power
to live up to what they knew. That
the gospel of Jesus Christ meets the
need. That it was appropriate for
the church tt be launching a program
for world reconstruction. If the
church is true to her trust she will
furnish the power which will over
turn the strongholds of sin. The in
situations which make for e%nlighten-
ment are necessary and should be en-
couraged but that the using of spir-
itual power to influence the wills of
men, was the most vital thing.
He said that the world was now just
one long street and that there was
great need that the whole street be
cleaned up.
After the morning sermon thirty
men came to the altar and consecrat-
ed themselves to the task of raising
the means to carry the centenary pro-
gran to the whole world.
In the evening Rev. Extelle, mis-
sionary from Malaysia, spoke. He
told about the actual work on the is
land of Sumatra in such a fascinating
way that he captivated his audience.
He is looking for 800 workers to send
to the foreign field Immediately. At
least two of our members are think
ing of going soon to the foreign field.

OTHER CHURCH NOTES

Sunday was a busy day in Moscow
churches, the Methodists did not quite
get cover the top" with their quota of
the centenary funds, but came very
close. Rev. Mr.. Marshall, the a
gelist who is conducting successful
revival services OF the Baptist church,
announced that he takes full RESPONSE
bility for his statements as published
in The Star-Mirror and commends this
paper for it's fairness. The Swedish
Lutheran church had specially inter
esting services yesterday and the Nor
wegian Lutheran church rendered an
anniversary reception to two of it's
popular members. Reports of the
services, which follow were furnished
by the pastors or members of the va
rious churches and this paper takes no

lished therein.

in the nature of a surprise and, after
a speech by Rev. F. /. Schmidt in
which the guests of honor were in
formed of the object of the gathering,
refreshments were served by the la

So that the following story of what
happened at the clinic the other day
is somewhat remarkable. A woman
dragged herself in, hatless, and with
her hair streaming down her back-an
utter wreck. There was agony in her
eyes. She came too late. There are
stated hours for treatment, and the
dispensing of drugs had ceased for the
time being. She broke down utterly
and wept as if her heart would break.
so keen was her disappointment. Half
shyly, half reluctantly, youth walked
over to her and gave her his precious
little box of drugs. Plainly, it cost him
a lot to do it. But the woman was in
such dire distress that he overcame
his own desire. She grabbed it and
rushed madly into the room where the
patients take their dose, without even
waiting to say "Thank you" Ten min
utes afterward she came out with
flushed cheeks, steady steps and quiet
eyes.
