Worlds SIeepiest Tramp.

A widely known character, one Jul jus Mercier, called "the sleeping tramp" has been arrested in Yer sailles, according to the Manchester Guardian. This occasion he is charged with the theft of rabbits.
 The morning before his arrest he was found on the Grand route by a carter in a deep sleep, from which all efforts of the latter failed to wake him. In the police station he woke up for a few minutes, then fell asleep again. It was found absolutely impos- sible to arouse him from slumber, and he was sent to a hospital, where he continues in the same state.
 Neither drunkenness nor lethargic encephalitis have anything to do with this curious case of one who must take high rank among the tired fraternity.

COUNTRY OF BEE KEEPERS
In Liithuania the Production of Honey Has Become an Important Ma
 tionaI Industry.

In Lithuania, when a bee stings a man he turns the other cheek.
 And almost literally, at that, because it is a sin to kill bee, and no one ever commits that sin Intentionally. AS a result of their natural fondness for bees, Lithuanians, with the growth of their economic system, have devel oped bee raising from a general social custom to an important industry. Thousands of barrels of honey are ex- ported from Lfthuania annually.
 Almost everyone In Lithuania has at least one bee hive. Sometimes they have swarms of thousands. But 1t is common even in the cities to have a man serve you indus that is made from the honey gathered in his garden hive. Midus, the national drink of Lithuania, is made from fermented honey.

Grasshopper Bait.

A year ago the grasshOpper ate up nearly $1OO,OOO,OOO worth of our win ter wheat. Science at once set about devising some scheme to control this pest They mixed a connection, on an enormous scale, known as "grasshop- per bait," making 4,565 tons of it, or enough to fill 1S3 large railroad cars. To mix this bait they used 5OO,OOO lemons, eighty-three tons of white ar senic and other ingredients in similar proportion. The bait was then scat tered over a great area in Kansas. The grasshoppers ate it freely, with the expected result. This year there are no grasshoppers' in Kansas Boys Life.

Star-Spangfed British Product.

It came recently to the attention of the American chamber of commerce in London that a British firm was using the American flag and words and phrases indicating American origin for the advertising, container and bottle labels of a wholly British prepara- tfon. Communication of this fact to the British board of trade saw all traditions of departmental red tape shattered when the board of trade rang up by telephone instead of fol lowing the usual formal tortuous channels of communication. After ob- taining further particulars the firm concerned was called to account and has agreed to refrain from the objec- tionable practice in future.-The~ Ma tiOn's Business.

Keeping in Touch

Question-1n following your advice to
keep ''in touch with affairs and watch vour
Investments" would such a publication "a
The Odd Lots Review" keep one sufficient
ly Informed on standard investments Are
the following in the investment class if
n held until maatturity? Baltimore & Ohio
southwestern 314s. 1925. and St. Louis &
San Francisco priorlien 6s, 1928. The yield
seems large for safety. Are they issued in
$100 bonds ?-F. R.
Answer-"The Odd Lot Review" prob
ably will give you considerable infor
nation regarding securities. We mean
by keeping in touch with affairs" that
one should read the daily papers, par
ticularly following the course of polit-
ical events, watch the actions Of the
money market, the Federal eReserv
statements and read the reports of the
various corporations as they are issued,
comparing them with previous ones. In
this way you will very likely see the
tendency of business conditions. Dunn
and bradstreets' reports, too, are of
great help. Baltimore & Ohio South
western 31s per cent bonds are a first
collateral lien on the western end of
the Baltimore e. Ohio systems to St.
Louis. We regard them as safe at
present. The st. Louis & San Fran
cisco, s per cnt bonds, 1920, are Sc
cured by first mortgage on a part of
the property. While not of the highest
grade, the bonds appear to us to be
worthy of consideration. We believe
they. will be paid at maturity. The
Baltimore e. Ohio bonds are in $500
and $1,000 denominations; the Frisco
6s IN $500, $3.50, $500 and $1,000.

Rock Island-Pere Marquette

Question-Would appreciate greatly any
information that you can give me regarding
the following questions: Chicago, Rock ISL
and & Pacific Railway has two preferred
stocks. per cent and a per cent. Has
either q preference over the other. and since
the drastic reorganization are they not fair
ly safe or a bit more so7 Pere Marquette
Railway Company preferred. not paying divi-
dends, selling near 48. seems to ME able to
pay the per cent at any time. What do
you think Of its chances of going on divi-
dend basis within year and future out
look? How about the prospective money
panic we hear of each day?-A. B. L.
Answer-Both classes Of preferred
stocks Of Rock Island share alike
in the distribution of assets upon in
solvency or dissolution. The per cent
preferred has preference over the 6
per cent preferred as to dividends to
the extent Of l per cent in any fiscal
year, after the payment of which both
rank equally as to further divi-
dends. Both are s per cent cumulative.
For 1919 the road did not earn the
dividends on these issues, yet they
have been paid on account of the gov
ernment guaranty which covered them.
We regard the railroad situation as
still matter of specu alton. While
legislation is out of the way, it re-
mains to be seen how the roads will
operate under that legislation. 1t is
our opinion that Rock Island will do
better, but it is only our opinion. We
do not regard these stocks as being in
the investment class as yet. Pere
Marquette showed net operating in
come of $6,6SO358 for 1919, against a
guaranty of S3,74s,196. The road has
decided not to sign up with the gov
ernment for the ensuing six motnhs.
There is a good margin Of earnings
over dividend requirements on the pre-
ferred issue. Much, however. depends
upon how the road will fare in the
future. We regard this stock, however.
as offering considerable in the way of
speculative possibilities. In our judg-
ment, the present relative ease of
money will not last long.
