APPROVE SHORT LINE MERGER.
At a special meeting at Naval Acad-
emy Junction yesterday stockholders
of the Washington, Baltimore and
Annapolis Electric Railway Company
unanimously approved the plan for
the acquisition of the Annapolis Short
line.
AS shareholders of the Maryland
Electric Railways, which controls the
Short Line property, approved the
plan earlier in the month, all that
now remains to complete the consoli-
dation is the approval Of the Public
Service Commission of Maryland. The
commission will grant a hearing on
the proposition Monday.
1t is expected that the merger OF
the two properties will result in
economies which will be the means OF
reducing operating expenses in hand
ling business between Baltimore and

is quite true that at the present time

According to w. w. Atterbury. first

thirty-six railroads failed to earn ex-

b. G. G.-Please give full particu-
lars on American Radiator Company
as l have been advised to buy the
common stock. and do not md 1t
listed on the New York Stock Ex-
change. Is 1t a good investment, In
your opinion?
Answer-we think that IT has every
right to be SO considered. 1t was not
formerly listed on the New York
Stock Exchange, but on the Chicago
exchange. On March 3, 1920, the par
value of the common was reduced
from 500 to $25, and four new shares
issued for each old share. In Novem-
ber, 1920. the common stock was listed
on the New York exchange.
The present dividend rate Is 1s per
cent per annum, 81 a share, payable
81 a share quarterly. March 81. etc.
The stock sells for nearly three times
par value and yields about per cent.
Two years ago the old common stock
sold at 345. and five years ago at 446.
The record high was 500, 1sI2.
In the last ten years American
Radiator has earned an annual aver
age o fabout 80 per cent on the COM
mon stock, and since 1907 has paid
very liberal dividends after reserving
comfortable surplus.

STATE DEPARTMENT OF

The Federal Bureau of Market
has inaugurated daily wireless mar

from several of the larger primarf
markets of the East and middle West.
That service is sent out at fixed hour,
of the day and can be caught by any
wireless receiving station, even those

meager equipment.
The Department of Agriculture has
taken up with the Federal Bureau of
Markets, with which it is cooperating
in market service, the proposal 10
have this national market service sup
plemented, so far as this state is con-
cerned, by daily market report from
Seattle, and if possible from Spokane
and Tacoma as well, covering all
products shipped by local producers
Of this state into those local markets.
To make this service of the largest
value, this Department has taken the
matter up with the various organize
tons of farmers and producers an |
cooperative associations generally.
recommending that they each put in
the equipment through which they
can receive this service and then
transmit it by telephone to such OF
their members as ask for it.
The Federal Farm Bureau esti-
mates that receiving outfit which
could take the service direct from
Washington can be installed at a
cost of from $500 upwards. A re-
ceiving equipment which could take
the service from Seattle alone, when
that market reporting service is in
stalled, would be even less expensive.
The Department of Agriculture
hopes to have installed at the State
Fair at Yakima, 70 be held Septem-
bel 1924, sample inexpensive wire
less receiving equipment, with an op-
orator, receiving daily the regular
market reports on the blanks used for
this service by the Bureau of Ma.
kets. This will show the simplicity.
low cost and ease of receiving this
daily service. ANY fairly qualified
amateur student of wireless can take
these messages, after little prac-
tice.
The service which it is expected to
install at the State Fair during its
session, will be practically a school
for amateur wireless operators who
expect to qualify to take this market
service for the farmers organiza-
tons.

Forest Service express themselves as
greatly relieved at escaping so far a
danger which always keeps them on
the anxious seat at this time of veal.
The quantity of snow in the high
country and the frequent rains at low
elevations have kept forests too damp

come general, the rangers report.
The Government foresters, howevej,
dD not consider that the absence of
large forest fires to date is entirely
due to favorable weather and timely
rains. Not only is the airplane pa
troll in Oregon and Washington prov
ing its value by spotting the smokes
while they are small, but the pro
tective forces, both State and Federal,
swat the fires. But what is more
important, the foresters say, is that
the public is becoming interested n

peated story of the destruction eau
&c by human carelessness is beginning

States leads all nations in forest fires.
