TO OBSERVE
 TEDDY'S BIRTHDAY
Will Undertake Memorial Pil-
 grimage to RooSeYelt's Grave

The Boy Scouts of America through it's executive board, has authorized the undertaking of a scout memorial pilgrimage to the grave of Theodore Roosevelt on October 18th. They also have voted to encourage the celebra- ton of Roosevelt's birthday, (Oct. 27) among scouts throughout the country in cooperation with local councils and with the Roosevelt Memorial as- sociation.
 The late colonel was intensely in- terested in scouts and was himself an ideal boy hero, beloved and admired by every scout and honored during his life time by the title of chief scout citizen.
 The pilgrimage to Oyster Bay is to be an annual affair and will be under the direction this year as it was last, of National Scout Commissioner Dan- iel Carter Beard.
 Roosevelt's birthday will be ob- served in various ways by scouts throughout the country. This ob- servance will take the form of scout mass meetings or general patriotic gatherings, tree planting and dedica- tion but in all cases the objectives will be the keeping green of the memory of the Great American and the inn planting in the minds of the young 1 CT generation the great ideals which he typifed throughout his career. The national council has asked the | cooperation of the Roosevelt Memo
 rial association and is conferring with
 Hermann Hagedorn, Roosevelt's friend
 and biographer in formulating its plans for a nationwide scout obser-
 vance of Rnosevelt's birthday. I William Boyce Thompson, presi. dent of the Roosevelt Memorial asso-

UTILITY DIVIDEND
PROBLEM

FOR many years the American
I Telephone & Telegraph COM
pany paid an s per cent dividend
to stockholders. As a result, its
securities were looked upon with
favor by the investing public,
and the parent company and its
associated companies in different
parts of the United States We're
able to secure sufficient capital
to make extensions as the growth
of the country demanded.
Today the telephone is found
in the humblest surroundings and
in the most remote parts of the
land. In 1910 there was in the
United States one Bell telephone
to every sixteen persons; in 1920
there was one to every nine per-
sons. An amending stream of
new capital was required to de
velop such a universal system,
and in order to keep pace with
improvements and the natural
growth of the country, further
capital requirements in the tele-
phone business will be heavy. In
Europe and other parts of the
world the telephone is for the
privileged class. In the United
States it is for the masses.
The American Telephone and
Telegraph company has recently
increased its dividend rate to
stockholders to 8 per cent. la
the past an s per cent dividend
was considered satisfactory. al
lowing for risks involved, but to-
day many foreign governments
are issuing bonds drawing s per
cent or better and our own ma
tional government, states and
counties aIh issuing tax-exempt
bonds drawing from 6 to Z and
Is per cent. Therefore, in order
to interest investors in putting
money into an industry invoIv-
ing more risk than in loaniug to
a government, state or munich
pality, it is necessary to offer
them additional inducements.
Increased telephone rates have
been granted in all parts Of the
country and the company in turn
has, in a large measure, passed
these increases on to the invest
ing public in the shape of increas-
ed dividends in order to be in a
position to secure money neccs-
sary for cXtentions and improve
ments.
Tie cry is sometimes raised
that if a utility company can pay
increased dividends why should it
be allowed increased rates. The
reason is simple, Increased rates
are necessary to pay increased
dividends to secure money in
competition with other invest.
ment opportunities offered in the
open market.

THOMAS EDISON

THE Edison "questionaire"
L has put us into a reminiscent
mood and calls to mind some Of
the peculiar characteristics of the
great inventor. Menlo Park was
only few miles distance. from
the campus of Rutgers college,
New Brunswick, New Jersey. Here
Edison had his factory in the
seventies. The college boys were
always welcome, day time or at
night, could go where they
pleased and inspect any thing in
the plant they desired to see.
Edison liked the college boys,
On a Friday afternoon a bunch
of us went there, came into the
factory and found Mr. Edison
and his right-hand man, a
Rutgers man, | believe, fast
asleep on the work bench. AT
another time We went there just
after midnight. The door was
open, we went in and found
Edison and his man side by side
at the work bench, silent as

THE REToRT COURTEOUS

n HE year 1900 was much like
l this season, mild rainy
winter followed by late wet
spring and early summer The
year before we had planted some
Strawberries in the Yakima val
ley. These plants were bought
from Mr.. Peter Mccormick who,
in his correspondence with us,
made the statement that he had
money to put that the same va
riety and plants would produce
500 twenty-four quart crates per
acre on his place. We thought
we had a big crop in the valley,
but not half as many per acre.
So my son S. j., Jr. and | con-
cluded we would look up this hot
air prophet.
1t was about the first of July
when we met Mr.. Mccormick at
his home where he now lives. |
told him frankly that we had
come all the way from Yakima
to verify how these West Coast
people could maks Indian rubber
of the truth. Come on" he said,
and took us west of the house
where he had a patch of about
two acres. | was amazed. |
looked, and the whole patch was
red with berries the size of hens
eggs. | turned to Nc Cormick
and said: at is enough, you
are George Washington
Then We called on Mr.. Beall,
ST., and he had money to put up
that he could beat Nc Cormiclk
by one hundred crates, making
nine hundred crates per acre.
| never saw anything like it
before or since until this of 1921,

that our Strawberries appeals to

taste, and he presumes to teach
us how to eat our strawberries,
Making a pyramid of them and
snow-cap it with powdered sugar
and pouring a little chinook OF
Jersey cream on top and let it

But when it comes to opening
the mouth and letting one drop
