long ago keeps it fresh in the minds
of those interested in the company.
Many persons who bought the stock
state that they do not comprehend
why i. should sell from SIS to $50 Il
share under the amount OF cash actual
received by the company in payment
can see, from that of corporation
which sells bonds at price aud these
bonds shortly thereafter decline. As
q matter of fact the United States
Government received 100 cents for
every dollar Of bonds it sold during
the war period. To-day those bonds
sell from 10 20 Il points below their
issued price This is because securi-
tics must conform 20 conditions as
they arise. Speculation is at low
ebb Money and credit arc factors
which have caused all forms Of invest
ments to sell at low prices. l. would
be folly TO attempt to give an artificial
stimulus to stock such as American
International. The decline in the
price Of the shares has not impaired
the corporation capita any. The
stock in our opinion is very specula-
tive. One reason for this is the fact
that almost unlimited powers have
been conferred on the board Of direct
ors IN the handling Of the company's
affairs

has become such factor in the life
of the nation that the industry is

He is expected to carry out his W

Lenses Of great value on proven oil
lands are not TO be had by the mere
filing of an application, Secretary Lane
said in a statement explaining the bill.
Proven oil lands of the government are
largely covered by claims which must
be adjusted before such Lands can be
leased, Mr.. Lane said, adding that
when the government grants a lease
for either oil or coal lands, except I'M
der the relief section or by permit, it
will be by competitive bidding, ample
notice of which will be given.
The only part of the act which is
self-operative, and with respect TO
which "A person can take any steps lead

nary steps to offer the lands for lease"
continued the secretary, sis that por-

How Fear Betrays.

Il was the custom in some parts OF
India at one time to compel persons
suspected of crimes to chew dry rice
In the presence of the officers of tne
law. The influence of fear on the sail

that If the suspects were actually guilty
there would be 40 secretion of saliva
In the mouth and 1t would be inlpos.
sible for them to chow. A conscious
ness of innocence, however, 1t was
held. permitted a proper flow of fluid
for softening the rice.
An illustration of how fear acts
through the imagination was brought
out In the case of a farmer who, after
he had detected depredatlons In his
corr bin. summoned his men and made
them mix up a quantity OF, feathers in
a sieve, assuring them that the feath.

the goth Engineers (Forest) has been
appointed the new district forester for
the Mountain district of the L. S. for
est service, comprising the national for

Dakota, Nebraska, Michigan and Min
nesota. Mr.. Peck succeeds Forester
Smith Riley. who, after eleven years or
service in the west, was recently forced
to give up his position on account of i'll
health.
District Forester Peck has been a
member of the forest service since its
organization in 1905, and prior to that
time was employed by the bureau of
forestry. In the early days of forestry
work. he gained familiarity with the
mountains of Colorado and other parts
of the west. His work in the forest
service has always beer associated
with h west and its problems and has
enabled him to gain n very detailed
knowledge of both the Rocky Mountain
region and Pacific Coast states. For
some years he was assistant district
forester in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
which is headquarters for the outh-
western district of the forest service,
comprising Arizona and New Mexico.
Early in August 1917, Mr.. Peck went
