National Biscuit Dividend.

Expectations are aroused over an
increased or extra dividend by the
National Biscuit Company before long.
There T. no doubt that such a pay.
ment would be fully warranted. The
management cannot be too highly
praised by stockholders, because 1t
has brought their organization
through the readjustment period In a
stronger position than It was at the
close OF the war.
Always conservative and tending to
business without any interest as to
the stock market effect" these d.
rectors have built up one of the
strongest companies in the country.
Although the company had con-
tracted, for a good part of it's cur
rent years sugar supply at high
prices. II was able to make a big
profit. Now 1t is getting It's sugar
and flour at abnormally low prices
and the result will be greatly in
creased income.
Nothing is said as to just when
the extra payment will be made
except that it is likely to come
soon.

The regular quarterly payment Of
IN per cent on the prior preferred

an initial declaration is looked for on

airy 1. 1919. This would leave Is per
cent back payments due.

that the company will show the divi-
dend on the second preferred stock

Agreements on the
 Army and Navy Bill
Army Appropriation Carries $32S, ,0OO, ,OOO = Reduction of 14,OO0 Men in Navy.

Washington, June 22-Congressional action on the army appropriation bill, rarrying a total of approximately three hundred and tweuty-eight million dol lars was completed today when the sen ate voted to recedc from it's amendments unacceptable to the house and accept the report of its conferees on compro- missed items.
 The senate accepted the proposal of house conferees for reduction of the army to one hundred and fifty thousand en- listed men by October first, already ap- proved by the house, which originally voted to make a cut to enc hundred and twenty thousand by the end of the next fiscal year.
 Chairman Wadsworth, of the senate military committee, said he moved &C., ceptance of the house proposal under personal protest"
 "It is with the greatest reluctance" he said. that I ask the senate to agree to something which will turn seventy thousand men out of the army within the next three months in violation of a moral contract, but 1t must be lone or there will be no army appropriation bill"
 Arbitrary discharge" of thousands of men was "a treatment which never be- fore has been administered to our army, T the senator said, and would result in nc economy as it would cost about three and half million dollars to pay trans. portation expenses of discharged men. The three hundred and twenty-eight million dollar total carried by the bil compares with three hundred and twen | ty millions in the house bill and thre, hundred and thirty millions in the senat, measure
