BANK STOCK DIVIDENDS
Earnings OF Big City Institutions and
Some South Jersey Banks

(By S. P. Foster, in the Elmer Times)
The average reader when he learns
Of a bank stock dividend of 7 per cent
to II per cent or more is apt to decide
that a bank is making big money, as
he either does not know or does not
consider that the dividend rate is de-
clared on the par value of the shares
and not on their actual worth or book
value. In some banks surplus has ac-
cumulated through a period of years,
and in some others shareholders have
paid cash into the surplus in excess of
the par value of the shares. One New
Jersey Bank, for instance, has capital
and surplus actually paid in amount
ing to $500 per share, in addition to
surplus accumulated out of earnings
which were not distributed as divi-
dends. If this bank should pay IL
per cent dividends annually, it would
only represent 4 per cent on the cash
actually paid in by stockholders. A
compilation showing book values, divi-
dend rate and actual yield on book
vaue of shares of 81 large national
banks in New York City, showed book
values of shares ranging from $3.50 to
$679. Some of the dividend rates ap-
pear large, but it is shown that the
actual return on book value ranged
from 4.05 per cent to 6.39 per cent per
annum with an average of about 5 per
cent.
In the same city the shares of %
leading state banks range in book
value from $119 to $685., with an act
ual dividend yield of 3.74 per cent to
6.25 per cen with an average of about
5 per cent. The same was shown to
be true of trust companies in that city
and also of all Brooklyn banks. The
published dividend rate ranged from
6 per cent to SO per cent on the par
value of the shares. In one of the
Trust Companies the book value was
1897 and the market value or selling
price was 1870, so that a declared
dividend of so per cent On par value
was not excessive.
Bank stocks in town and cities in
South Jersey usually yield a little
more on book value than in the large
cities. Dividends paid July 1, 1922, on
some South Jersey bank shares follow,
showing the actual yield also on book
value of shares, for the past six
months:

VISITORS FROM ATLANTA SPEND
VACATION IN WILDWOOD

Mr.. and Mrs. Duncan Spooner, of
Atlanta, Ca, former residents of Wild
wood, have been visiting Mrs. Spoon
er's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J.. G.
Coombs, on wildwood avenue. Mr..
Spooner is the son of the celebrated
preacher once located in Camden. He
is a singer of great ability and con-
nected with one of the big Atlanta
churches, where he has been located
some years. They made the trip from
Georgia in their automobile. 1t is
hard to believe that Georgia has a
larger area than Pennsylvania or New
York, yet it is true, for it has more
square miles than any state east of the
Mississippi River. 1t is not all barren
land either, for within it's borders is
Atlanta, one of the wonder cities OF
the South, and it has twice the popu-
lation of Camden.

TABLE TAKERS
BY Lydia Lion Roberts

Meal time, parents and children can
be an interesting combination, but will
not be unless especially prepared for
by the mother. Why not make it one
of the ~pleasantest times of the day
and teach the children at the same
time to take their part in conversation
with sense and dignity? This can
best be done by making it the time to
tell the pleasant things that each one
has seen, heard, done, or read. En-
force a rule that nothing d~isagreeable
shall be talked over at meals-this
is not good for digestion we are told,
and no gossip, horrible affairs, nor
cross words should be allowed.
Even little children can learn to
talk about the picture they liked, the
funny story the teacher told, the dog
that wagged at them on the way home,
and any little detail of CHEEKY, happy
days. Daddy could tell of the people
he met, of anything he saw made or
done in an unusual way, and relate
stories of when I was a boy"
Mother could talk about the people
who had telephoned, or been to the
door, the books she had read or heard
about, the stories of when grandma
was a girl.
In the morning 40 bad news from
the paper should mar the meal. The
occasion would be a merry one, and
everyone would feel better and bright
er if we all learned to be the right
kind of table takers. 1t is never too
early to begin with the children. Even
a baby will react to smiles or frowns,
and good cheerful talk breeds kind,
thoughtful deeds.
The kindergarten has been said by a
well-known educator to be as "neces-
sary to the school system as water
works and electricity are to the city,
Electricity and water works are ex-
pensive-and yet no really progress
sive community would vote down their
installation.
The establishment of k~indergartens
is an expense, but if YOU community
realizes their value it will unhesitat-
ingly pay the price. If you want in
formation and advice On the subject
write to the National Kindergarten
Association, 8 West 40th street, New
York City.

BANK

Multiplying the rate given above by
2 will give the annual dividend rate if
the dividend at the end of December
is the same as the June Both dividend.
AS a rule the dividend declared does
not represent the whole profit for any
six months period as most of the
stronger banks accumulate an undi-
vided profit fund against which losses
can be charged if they occur; when
this fund becomes large enough a sum
is transferred from it to surplus, in
creasing the value of the shares and
the strength of the bank.
A new national bank is not allowed
to pay any dividend until it has an
amount equal to at least 20 per cent
of it's capital in a surplus fund and for
that reason banks started in recent
years have paid in surplus at the
time shares are taken.
Another feature which has made
good bank stocks attractive in New
Jersey is that while the tax on the
shares is payable by the individual
owner, the banks usually pay this tax
in a lump sum for their stockholders
which equals just that much more
additional dividend, and as banks pay
income tax on all earnings, including
those paid out in dividends, the indi-
vidual owner of shares does not pay
income tax on the dividends received
unless he happens to be in the excess
profits class.

lighted a cigarette, and leaned for
ward.
Say, Ivy! You got to send a new
man down to the Bayou Latouche
right away. Lafarge was there. YOU
know; a niger shot him yesterday.
The niger threatened to squeal unless
ne got his money back-Lafarge was
a fool and didn't know how to handle
him. The boss says to shoot a new
man down there. Also, he says, you'd
better watch out about spreadin' the
lottery into Texas and Alabama, ac-
count of the government rules"
The heavy features of Gumberts
closed in a scowl.
"You tell your boss" he said, that
when it comes to steerin' clear Of fed
eral men, / don't want no instructions
from nobody! We got every man in
this state spotted. Every one that
can be fixed Is fixed-and that goes
for the legislators and politicians
clear up the line! Tell your boss to
handle the local gov'ment as well as
l handle other things, and he'll do all
that's necessary. What he'd ought to
attend to, for one thing, is this here
guy who calls himself the Midnight
Masquer. I've told him before that
this guy was playing hi with my sys-
ten! This Masquer gets no protec-
ton, see? The quicker Fell goes after
him the better for all concerned"
Chacherre laughed, not without a
swagger.
We've attended to all that, Ivy
we've dropped on him and settled
