Patient for Is Years, but FESTIVE Now

Question: ask your advice or North
American Company n. which own 100
shares at 1927 for the last fifteen years
have had the per cent dividend reru-
larry Except one year. when threc-Quar-
ters were omittcD ami bought i, at the
time az an investment. Lately I notice
heavy trading with downward trend.
Might tho burden OF the United Railways
OF ST. Louis and the growing expenses OF
tho other companies partly controlled by
the North American Company be too
much? Is there any suspicion of passing
the dividend and is it advisable 20 soil
even at a loss OF over SO per cent
F. o. E.
Answer-The North American Com
pany for the last ten years has earned
the annual average equivalent of 6.63
per cent on its S29 ,793,30O capital stock,
there being no funded debt. In 1919
the equivalent of S.55 per cent was
earned. The book value of the stock
December 81, 1913, was Sis a share.
AS long as you have stuck to the COM
pany for fifteen years we advise you
to hold on a little longer, for it seems
to us that the public utilities have seen
the worst possible combination of con-
ditions. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that they will do better in the future.
The president Of the North American
Company, J. D. Mortimer, has resigned
and five new directors have been
elected.

Hide & Leather Profit
Sharing Plan Abandoned
Proposition Will Not Be Voted
Upon at Annual Meeting of
Stockholders To-day

Owing to the opposition Of stock
holders the plan recently adopted by
the directors of the American Hide &
Leather Company providing for div-
sion Of profits with the president and
Independents of the corporation has
been abandoned. 1t had been arranged
to present the plan to the stockholders
for their approval at the annual meet
ing to-day in Jersey City.
The decision to abandon the plan
was reached yesterday at meeting Of
the executive committee of the COM
pany. an official said that this action
had been taken at the request of the
officers.
The plan provided for giving a GER
tain percentage Of the annual profits
to the president and Independents
over and above annual net earnings Of
81 100000. Much opposition developed
among the stockholders in view of the
fact that the company is Ill per cent
in arrears on the dividends on the pre-
| ferred stock.

Westinghouse Electric a Good Garner

Question---As n small investor I would
greatly appreciate Information regarding
Westinghouse Manufacturing at about Il
S. L. ).
Answer-The Westinghouse Electric
and Manufacturing Company is capital
lied as follows: Funded debts, $6,431,-
900; Z per cent participating preferred
stock, $685. 700; common, $70S13,o50.
Par for both classes is $50 share and
they are receiving per cent dividends
($4) a year. The preferred shares
equally with the common after both
issues have received per cent Earn
ings for the last ten years have aver
aged annually the equivalent of 1856
per cent on both classes. On March 81
last the book value of the common
shares was SIT. Indicated earnings on
the common and preferred were: 1919,
20.33 per cent; 1918, 2O.13 per cent;
1917, 2O.60 per cent; 1916, 2931 per
cent. The company has splendid
property and is we'll managed both from
manufacturing and a financial point
of view. We regard the preferred stock
as good investment, and the common
as good speculative investment. The
junior shares naturally are more scnsi-
tive to earning power.

land lie is bringing with him. about

order to get S4.S6 per pound instead OF
the Present low rate OF exchange. about

Answer-The only way we know to

would be for Your brother to bring his

Answer-Your stocks have merits in
varying degrees, but they are all spccu-
lotivr. Common stocks take the mar
ginal risks; that is, they are first to
feel a decrease in earnings or to be
affected by stock market or economic
conditions. On the other hand, they
share largely in prosperity. We can
not attempt to tell you whether your
losses will be retrieved or when, be-
cause too many elements enter into
tho situation. You paid pretty high
prices for some of your holdings.

Answer--The man who puts up bonds
to buy oil stock. in our opinion, has
quit the investment field and gone into
speculation, and thercafter we cannot
advise him, because we have no Way
of telling how oil shares are going to
turn out. He has weakened his posi-
ton, We believe. A broker can go
through bankruptcy the same as any

anything that is likely to happen to

But this freedom with costly

The Solution of the Problem
By J. EPps BROWN, President.
CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY
Incorporated

To furnish the telephone service which will
be needed In the state of Louisiana during
1921, additional facilities must be constructed
To build these facilities will cost SO, 292 900 co.
The Company has no money with which to
construct these facilities.
All new construction must be paid for out
OF the capital account OF the Company; all of
the Company's present capital is invested In
the Company's business.
This money can be had in only one way: Il
must be invested In the Company's business.
This money can be had from only one
source; from the investing public, people who
have surplus money to invest
Part OF the investing public Of this country
live in Louisiana.
These facilities are needed to serve the peo-
pie Of Louisiana.
VIII the investing public Of Louisiana fur
nish this money?
Every dollar the public OF Louisiana will
invest In the Company will be used to con-
strucf plant facilities in the state of Louisiana
for the use OF the people of Louisiana
II the investing public living in Louisiana
will not invest their surplus money in the
Company's business. the Company must get
the money needed to serve you from the in
yesting public in other states; from strangers.
Can you expect strangers to invest their
money in business located in Louisiana in
which the people Of Louisiana will not invest
their money!

Here's a nation that is now boast

The sum and substance Of the

that England's government is de-

deprive the Irish people of what
is theirs by right and to repudiate
the pledge of self-determination

The facilities now used by you were paid for
by money furnished by strangers. They know
what they are earning in Louisiana while
serving you Just as you know.
Can you ask or expect them to furnish more
money for your use in Louisiana under pres
ent conditions?
II the people Of Louisiana will not supply
the money needed to serve themselves they
must induce strangers to furnish it.
This can be done by allowing the stranger 10
earn fair and Just profit upon his money
now invested In Louisiana, serving you, and
upon all additional money required to furnish
you service.
This can be done in but one way: by paying
fair and Just rates.
When the Company is legally authorized to
charge rate which will yield fair and Just
profit over and above the cost Of furnishing
you service in the state OF Louisiana It can
secure from strangers living in other states
the money needed to furnish service to the
state of Louisiana
The Company must have this right before It
can get the money.
The people of Louisiana must act first
TO have telephone service you must either
invest your own money in the Company's BUSH
ness, or permit the Company to earn such q
profit upon Its present and future investment
as viii induce strangers 70 invest their moneY
