WORTH WHILE

If the League of Nations had
no other achievement to its credit
its work in restoring war prisoners
to their homes would fully justify
all of its elaborate machinery and the
five million a year expense which it
involves.
DR.. Nansen of Norway, the famous
Arctic explorer, is the high COM
missioner of the league in this great
humanitarian work.
Under his direction, 100000 pris-
oners of war have been rescued from
frightful conditions in Russia and
other countries and transported to
their homes.
There are some hundred thous-
and prisoners yet to be repatriated
and the Nansen organization will
continue until the job is finished

An Early Day River Tragedy

Inc STSdJeSL IINtI dloooICA VI tiA>
last century in this state occurred
on March IL. 1852, when the steam
er Buckeye Belle, plying on the Ohio
and Muskingum rivers, burst her
boilers when nearly opposite the
town of Beverly, and 26 of the pas
sengers and crew were almost in
stantly killed. The Buckeye Belle
was a stern wheel steamer, the mar
row locks in the Muskingum max
ing side-wheelers, except of the
smaller types, impractical on that
river, and she was then carrying the
mail from Newport, Is miles above
Marietta, to GAINESVILLE.
The disaster was closely related
to a notable political matter of the
year that centered at Columbus. Ed
win Corner had been given the GER
tificate of election as senator to
represent the Fourteenth district
but his right to the seat was con-
tested by his opponent at the polls.
Cautius c. Covey. The senate
awarded the seat to Covev by vote
of 80 to 2, and en- route to Coluno-
bus following the contest. to assume
his seat, Covev took passage on the
ill-fated Buckeye Belle, and was
among the 26 persons who were
killed.
Had the accident occurred before
the action of the senate on the CON
test was taken, the death of Covey
might have left the seat in the SEN
ate in possession of Senator Corner
but that action having removed
Corner, new election was neces-
sarT. which resulted in the election
OF William Hawkins to the vacancy
The roster of the fiftieth general rs
sembly, which met in January
1852, and finally adjourned March
IA, 1853, contains the names OF
three senators as representative of
the fourteenth district, though as a
matter of fact Senator Covey never
actually occupied the seat. Lot T,

There is one way to make money by
dealing with the mail-order houses but
it isn't by buying goods from them.
The man who thinks he Is making
money by buying his goods from mail
order houses has only to read of the
amazing profits made by some of these
big corporations to realize that all the
money is being made by the man on
the other end of the deal
The stakeholder in a big mail-order
concern tolls not and neither does he
spin, but he piles up his money so fast
that 1t makes the ordinary mans head
swim to read about 1t. Here is the
experience of the stakeholder In one
of the large mail-order concerns, as
told by reliable financial Journal. 1t
gives glimpse into the inside work.
ings of the mail-order business that
should be Of interest to those who
have made such things possible.
How the Game Works.
In 1908 this man bought 600 shares
Of stock In the mail-order corporation
in question when the stock was selling
around $40 share, the 600 shares
costing him little less than 5000.
In 1911 the company declared stock
dividend of 33 1-3 per cent. In other
words the company after paying cash
dividends regularly, had accumulated
q surplus profit of one-third of the
amount Of capital invested In the
business; but instead of distributing
this profit among the stockholders the
company kept the money in the busi-
ness and issued stock for that amount
to the stockholders. BY this action
200 more shares of stock were issued
to the man who had originally bought
600, increasing his holdings to 800
shares, without his having put any
more money into the business.
Another stock dividend of so per
cent was declared in 1915 and this
added 400 shares more to his holdings.
giving him 100 shares in all. A third
stock dividend of % per cent was paid
early in 1917. bringing this mans
stock holdings up to 1900 shares, still
without his having paid in any more

money. On ITS I,JU0 snares OF stock,
cash dividends of So share are now
being paid. This investor therefore
is now receiving $4,000 a year from
his original investment of about $685..
000 and as the stock is now worth
around $3.50 share, the present mar
ket value of his stock is S24O,OO0, Civ
ing him a profit OF $4,000, in addi-
ton to cash dividends which he re-
ceived during nine years, amounting
to many more thousands of dollars.
Only One Of Hundreds.
This is the story of just one small
stakeholder in one mail-order concern.
A profit of more than $215,O0O made
by one small stakeholder In nine years
on an investment of less than $4,000!
1t reads like fiction but 1t Is financial
history. There are hundreds of other
stockholders in this and other mail
order corporations, some Of whom
have made millions while this man
made thousands. Add the profits of
all these stockholders together and the
result Is q sum that staggers the imag-
nation.
Small wonder that the men who own
the stock of the big mail-order houses
can live In palaces. ride in the highest
priced automobiles. own palatial pri-
vate yachts and buy 100000 paint
ings. But who has furnished the
money to pay for the palaces and the
automobiles and the yachts and the
100000 paintings? The people in the
country and the small towns who have
kept an endless stream Of money flow
Ing into the Golfers Of the mail-order
houses have made all this possible.
Their millions Of dollars have gone to
the big cities to build up these great
concerns. Their millions of dollars
have provided the automobiles and
yachts and other luxuries for the
stockholders In these corporations.
Present From MaiI.Order Buyers.
These men who have piled up such
big fortunes In the mail-order BUSH
ness have not even had to pay for
much of the stock from which they are
now drawing princely dividends. The
people In the country and the small
towns, generous souls, have bought 1t
for them. This is shown in the case
Of the stakeholder just mentioned, who
originally invested. The generous
mail-order buyers have made him
present of $215,O00 worth of stock and
he has not had to turn his hand over
to get 1t. He has never even had to
so much as write a letter to get 1t.
The generous mail-order buyers have
handed 1t to him on golden platter.
There's money in the mail-order
business without doubt, but its on
the side of the man who does the sell
ing and not the one who does the
buying. If you must do business with
the mail-order house, buy some of it's
stock and let the fellow In the next
town buy you automobiles and private
yachts while he struggles with the
hard times that come from draining
his town of the cash that goes to keep
you in luxury.
