and is known as one of the best man

couldn't refrain from swapping a
picture Of Mrs. Freeman and her pure
bred Bourbon Red turkeys. Mrs.
Freeman usually raised from 40 to -
turkeys each year She says they are
very profitable if they are handled
right. They are very inexpensive to
raise, and return a very good sun IT,
sold around Thanksgiving time. In

much bv,.er income in proportion to
the care and expense involved in rails

GRAIN men OPPOSE
NEW REGULATIONS
Alarmed at Purport of Bills to
Restrict and Tax Deal

Such rigid restrictions upon con.
tracts for sales in futures of grain
and food products were proposed to-
day to the House Agriculture Com
mittee by Congressman Tincher, Kan
sas and Dickinson. Iowa, that the
total destruction of boards OF trade
and produce exchanges Is threatened,
should such restrictions be adopted.
according to traders on these ex-
changes.
Among the restrictions proposed are
an excise tax OF 10 per cent of the
total consideration in any contract or
sale of any grain for future delivery
wherein warehouse receipts or other
evidence of ownership showing actual
delivery and transfer OF the grain
from the seller to the buyer are mo-
produced in settlement, and delivery
shall not be effected by means of get
of or ring settlements and not can
celed by settling of difference. but
only by the actual transfer of the spe-
cihc commodity mentioned in the con-
tract.
Another makes IL unlawful for any
person to make any contract to give
to himself or another the option 70
sell or buy at a future time any grain
when IL is at the time of the making
of such contract intended by both .'ar.
ties that the option whenever exeT-
cised, or the contract resulting from

differences in price Of the grain and
not by the receipt or delivery of the
grain. 1t Is made unlawful to make
contracts covering the delivery or
non-delivery of grain. all contracts he

ROADS MERGER INTO
) GROUPS SOUGHT
North and South Trans-Conti.
mental Plan, However, Not
Favored by |. C. C.

A plan to consolidate the railroads
into five great groups, through trans
continental systems running north
and south, proposed by F. b. whitney
of Waukegan. ILL.,, in petition
filed with the Interstate CONNER e
Commission, was declared at the corn
mission today not to be responsive"
to the terms of the transportation
act, with respect to the commission's
powers to consider rail consolidation.
AMENDMENT Required.
Congress would have to amend the
act. officials said, before the commits
sion could give favorable considera-
ton to the proposal filed. Mr.. Whit
ney, in his petition, declared that as
stakeholder in railroads, he sub
mitted his plan for study and ulti.
mate adoption, so far as it will pro
mote the general public interest. az
pecially in relation to foreign trace.
Foreign trade development de-
mands, in Mr. Whitney's opinion, a
regrouping of the railroads so that
freight can be routed overland and
to ports, by the shortest possible
routes. His plan, he said, will lessen
terminal congestion at many large
Atlantic ports.
REGIONAL PLAN BAD.
Attacking regional consolidation,
Mr.. Whitney said:
"A regional consolidation plan
seems rational for the few roads most
fortunately situated. 1t does no.
seem to be the preferable method for
marshaling the country's resources
behind our foreign trade, and il hard :
~ squares with the wholesome ma
tional spirit with which the people
and Congress attempted to provide
adequate relief for all the roads with
in the United States"
Mr.. Whitney urged a unification OF
the numerous smaller or weaker
roads with the larger and stronger
systems to provide maximum OF
business and efficiency, and as n
means OF speeding UP carload and
less-than-carload freight through the
use of fast overland freight trains.

AMERICAN CAN-TOBACCO
PRODUCTS.

q. Med have ten shares each
OF American Car preferred and To-
baceo Products preferred, bought
at higher prices.
Do you think 1t would be good
move for me to buy an additional
ten shares each? Am considering
them only for investment. Please
state the facts.
Answer-Since 1914 American Can
Company has paid the regular full
per cent each year on the prefer
red stock and also paid IS per cent
on account of accumulattH dividends,
which were deferred in part from
1903 to 1912. Last year the company
earned SIN share for the $41,233.-
900 preferred, and in the last ten
years earnings have averaged $14.24.
At SS5 the stock yields $40 per
cent, and we believe may be favor
ably regarded. There is no apparent
reason why the dividend should be
considered in any danger.
Tobacco Products Corporation has
paid the full I per cent on the pre-
ferred stock since 1918. Last years
for the past seven years have aver
aged s22.2I on the $4,000 900 pre-
ferred stock.
The preferred is not very active.
and the latest quotation was $50.
The company is now paying com
mon dividends in scrip, which some
what impairs the standing of the
preferred stock.
Nevertheless, there is no discern
able indication that the preferred
dividend is in any danger.
We should think, however. that II
would be more prudent to buy other
stocks, and thus better balance your

When they couldn't have baby they called in outsiders-,oh it was all perfectly proper. If you're not afraid to laugh, see Taylor Holes to- night at the Empress, "The Very Idea," the cleverest satire on eugen- ics ever written-and you'll stop worrying about the Bolshevil1i.
 This farce comedy, written by William Le Baron, made New York theater goers rock with laughter for whole season.
 Gilbert Goodhue wanted an heir, and his wife didn't have time, so he advertised for a ready made baby. The price was $15,000, and Gilbert called it profiteering-but what could he do?

SUBSIDY ASKED
 TO PUT VESSEL,
 ON WEST COAST

Payment by the territory of Alas ka of a subsidy of $25 5,06O per year to the owner or charterer of ship for operation between Seward, An. chorage and points on the Alaska peninsula, is proposed in a bill in- troduced in the lower house by Rep resentative Arthur Frame, of Anchor age. The purpose of the subsidy is to induce someone to place vessel on the run mentioned in the measure, making monthly trips and handling passengers, freight and mail.
 The bill, known as House Bill No. 2, is entitled "An act to aid and encourage the coastwise shipping trade in the territory of Alaska, and to provide subsidy therefor, and prescribing the manner of it's pay. ment." Under the terms of the bill it is made the duty of the governor to authorize the payment of a sum of money aggregating $25,000 annually
 
 ship or vessel of American ownership not less than 400 tons net weight capacity and capable of maintaining speed of not less than nine knots an hour
 It is required that regular sched- ules be maintained, trips being made not less than once a month between the ports of Seward on Resurrection bay and Anchorage on Cook inlet, and Koggiung, Nushagak, and Naknek or vicinity, on Bristol bay during the period of the year navigation can be carried on in that section and a continuous monthly service between Seward and Unalaska. It is provid- ed that such vessel shall touch at intermediate points along the water route westward from Kodiak island whrever d United States post office may be established. The proposed bill carries an appropriation clause calling for $25,0OO needed to put it into effect
 It is required that notices of schedule shall be entered with the governor by any ship entering on the route and provision made that the first vessel of the required size and speed engaging in tn trade ou the route shall have preference right to the subsidy.
