BASEBALL IN LAKELAND

1t is up to the people of Lakeland during the
coming season to give such degree of support and
encouragement to the local ball team that its rank
in the pennant contest will be considerably higher
than it was last year.
To make it interesting. the team should start
in TO win, and the people here should back them
up in that aspiration 1t isn't impossible. In this
practical age. the team with the best backing can
usually get the best players If it comes to chang
ing, Lakeland ought to be in the market as buy
er rather than seller.
There is certain amount of prestige attending
the winning of pennant which can not be at
tanned in any other way. 1t is not merely mat
Ter of pride in the home team 1t brings substan-
tial and practical benefits in many other ways The
Telegram purposes devotns more space than here
tofore to sports, and it would be exceedingly hap
Ply, at the end of the season, to be able to chron-
icle the fact that Lakeland was winner.

COLONEL DIES HAPPY
Lexington Specially

The grace of happy death was afforded the
head of well-known and picturesque family of
this region according to an account given at his
funeral held here recently by another elderly
entuckian who had been his close friend for fifty
years.

he breathed his last recognized me and said :

first time in my life that it has been quoted at a
price commensurate with it value'"

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
standard or. Balance sheet.

The Standard OIL Company OF New
Jersey is probably the only industrial
corporation in the country which had at
the close of 1920 greater working cap
ital than did the United States Steel
Corporation. As result OF the abnor-
NAL conditions prevailing In tine oil in
dustry throughout the year the conf
pany's balance sheet crossed the billion
mark and It's working capital totalled
s562, ,7sS.562. against s545,625,26s re-
ported by the United States Steel Cor
poration. Because OF the Standard com
pany's heavy load OF Inventories which
Il was carrying at the close OF the year
the impression in oil circles rs that It's
1891 profits will be somewhat lower, be-
cause the shrinkage of oil values since
the first of the year has been very dras-
tic and IL will be chargeable against the
company's 1921 income. Indeed. its re-
port warns that material deductions
from it's 1921 profits may be necessary
in writing down inventories.

Dividend Deferring Habit.

Announcement OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio's deferred dividend brought to the
surface an undercurrent Of conviction.
that more railroad dividends would be
passed or reduced before the close OF
1921. Certainly it cannot be denied that
many higher grade rails are not earning
their dividends and that il disburse-
ments be maintained it will be largely
on faith that operating expenses Will be
cut. and traffic increased in the not too
remote future. The inclination OF rail-
road arrangements to conserve cash has
been indicated clearly by the reduced
dividends Of the Pennsylvania, the Ala
bama, Great Southern and the Cincin-
natl, New Orleans and Texas Pacific.
the latter two Of which are controlled by
the Southern Railway, and further In
the deferred action OF the Southern Rail-
way. the West Jersey and Seashore. the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Hooking
Valley railroads. The particular soft
ness Of the issues of the Hill roads will
cause many to watch for the action Of
the Great Northern and the Northern
Pacific meetings within the next month.

pass It's regular quarterly dividend OF 75

financial community. as Linseed was a
company not mentioned in the list OF pos
sible dividend passers which has been
going the rounds of the Street for the
last GEEK or two. In connection with the
dividend action, II was learned yester-
day that all negotiations between the
company and Lord Leverhulme. repre-
senting Lever Brothers OF England. are
probably or permanently. There were
many details which. II was said. were
very difficult to arrange. and the situa-
tion with regard TO foreign exchange
was so unfavorable to the transaction
that the British interests were said TO
have abandoned tho plan. II is known
that the plan had advanced to the staCe
at which American banking interests
connected with the company had been ap-
preached regarding the financing OF the
deal before II was given up.
