Is Stock Dividend
Income? Is Question
Now Up Before Court

Whether or not a stock dividend
is income is a question which the
district court will be asked to de-
eide in a suit filed today by John
T. Emerson against the First Trust
company of Omaha. ....
Mr.. Emerson sets forth that his
mother, who died March |, 1918, be-
queathed him the income on IS
shares of stock in Swift & Co.. the
stock to be held in trust by the
First Trust company. On July Is.
1918, he says, Swift & Co. declared
a stock dividend, his share amount
ing to 10 shares of stock
Across the face of this stock
given free to stockholders is stamp
ed the word dividend" he says. He
holds, therefore, that this is part of
the income" of his Is shares of
stock and should be turned over to
him. The trust company holds that
these 10 shares constitute an addi-
ton to the principal and therefore
should continue to be held in trust,
he to receive only the dividends
thereon.

HOWTO'GROW
BETS
BETS

Garden beets may be grown in
any good soil' but thrive best on
rich. sandy loan. The seed can be
sown about the time the last frosts
are due. and the young beets will
be ready for use in four to six
weeks. The seed should be sown
in a drill with about eight or ten
seed balls to the foot.
1t should be borne in mind that
each seed ball contains from three
to six seeds. and that the beets will
require considerable thinning. The
young beets that are pulled out in
thinning may be used as greens dur
ing the early spring. Where the
beets are TO be given hand :ultiya-
ton entirely, the rows may be
placed as closely as IL to IA inches
apart and the plants should be
thinned to two to three inches in
the row.
A late planting OF beets may be
made in June. or as late as August

SEVERE TEST SHOWS
HOW TO SAVE SHOES

"A molder in our foundry wore a
pair Of shoes with Neolin Soles every
day for ten months and two weeks
both in the foundry, and to and from
his work -and they are just worn out"
The Sessions Foundry Company of
Bristol, Connecticut, makes this report
on pair of Neolin-soled molders'
shoes given them for test.
Neolin Soles have none of the short
comings of other soles. They do not
burn or crack under conditions such
as these-nor do they wear out quickly
under the grind of abrasive materials.
They are made by Science to be es-
pecially tough and durable, will stand
the toughest kind of usage and so
wear longer and save money. More
over. they are comfortable and water
proof.
You can get them on new shoes in
many styles for men, women and chill
dren-or as re-soles. They are manu-
featured by The Goodyear Tire &
Rubber Co.. Akron, Ohio, who also
make Wingfoot Heels-guaranteed to

can earn. The pressure will be
strong to keep at work and not
"fool away time" in high school.
For The average boy or girl such a
course would be a mistake. 1t would
be taking the short-sighted law.
Direct proof of this lies in the his
tory of the governments efforts to
obtain officers. Experience showed
that comparatively few boys with
only a common school education
were able to win commissions. Oc-
casionally an exceptional boy sue
ceeded. But general it took at
least high school training to enable
the boy to qualify.
Success in the army is won by
much the same qualities that win it
in civil life. If certain training is
called for to make men leaders in the

The revelations of the Austrian red

the hour in Germany. Newspapers still
print whole pages OF excerpts from the
Vienna documents.
But the German press ii far from ex-
pressing unanimous joy that the
blackness of the alleged German guilt
is turned into a mere grey shade by
the Austrian disclosures. Freiheit and
other radical papers read only a con-

documents and largely ignore Beth

mediation, to which Vienna never

WRONG HEROIC RIGHT!

William Tanner was with his wife
when she caught her foot at a rail
road grade crossing near Chicago. An
onrushing train menaced them and
the crossing tender who came to their
help. Mrs Tanner babe her husband
leave her, for the babies and his
mothers sake, but he replied, 81 stay
with you Mary" and was crushed with
her in death that was mercifully
swift. This, in barest outline, is a
story of knightly valor that has thrill
ed the country ~
The moralist will say that Tanner
should have lived for the three young
children who need the care and SER
vice of so fine a father. The physi-
clan may ask whether the two men,
uniting their strength could not have
forced the woman's body off the
track, breaking her ankle and have
saved her life at the cost of a leg.
But the decision had to be made in an
instant There was the unacceptable
question. Instinct answered, not log
ic. Character told not the nice bal
ancing of conflicting claims. And no
woman, at least, who with moist eyes
says, "He should have chosen life, -
but is glad in her heart that there
are men who could choose otherwise.
Mistaken in his selfsacrifice, which
was also the bitter loss of his chill
dren? OF course he was mistaken!
Reason and religion condemn even so
beautiful a suicide. But they can
carve Here lies a man" on Tanners
tombstone. And a deed so splendid
in ats unhesitating sacrifice that it
makes millions of men and women
think better of their kind requires
no apology or xplanation.-New
