SURPRISES AND DIVIDENDS.

According to Wall street authority.
there. is an interesting reason back of
the stock dividend declared by the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey
and anticipated dividends in many other
corporations.
An oil specialist explains that con-
gress has to find some new way of rails
ing revenue and is likely to try taxing
the surplus of corporations. 1t hap
pens that great many corporations
have large SURPRISES held against a rainy
day. 1t happens also that the supreme
court has held that stock dividends are
not taxable. Wherefore there is going
to be new crop of stock dividends
which may rival the bumper crop of a
couple of years ago.
Incidentally there is boom in oil Sc
curities generally, although a vail went
up last summer that the refining COM
panies were all losing money. 1t seems
to pay trusts to get busted"

DELAYED DIVORCE.

An Ohio judge has laid down the rule
that no divorces Will be heard in his
court until nine months after the filing
of the petitions. To emphasize it, he
has placed a sign to that effect on the
wall of his ante-room.
His action was determined by the
fact that divorce suits were delaying a
lot of other court business which he con-
sidered more pressing
Experience has convinced him that on
general principles. it's a good thing to
make would7be Divorces wait a while
for their freedom. When they wait a
reasonable length of time. their tempers
cool and they probably decide that they
don't want Il divorce after all.
Some such rule would be a good thing
anywhere. And to add to its effective
ness, there ought to be a corresponding
limit to the time within which anyone
could remarry after getting a divorce.
An interval of. say, year for each OPP
Grafton, would help a good deal to cut
down the divorce evil.

Who's Clara Arms?
BARRE Times. }

An automobile registered in the name
of CLARA A. Arms of Brattleboro began
to spit fire when customs officers tried to
stop the vehicle near Island Pond one
night recently by using their own re-
volvers. Evidently the name fitted the
vehicle well but il does not fit anybody
known to reside in Brattleboro. Two
motor cars following the Clara A.
Arms were halted and were found TO
contain, IS cases of liquor. The natural
inference is drawn that fictitious regis
tration of automobiles is being done by
rum runners in their plans to thwart the
enforcement agents. That being the case
it is probable that the secretary of states
office will require identified ton of parties
applying for licenses hereafter.

Develop Home Industries.
bellows Falls Times. \

The doctrine is, let us develop what we
have at home and do less incoming about
for new industries. 4 community with
out real people, the kind who do more
than just eat, sleep and go to the movies,
never gets very far anyway. To have
real people, there must be education. am
bition and incentive. Were there oppor-
tunity for all the Bellows Falls boys who
graduate from colleges to remain at
home what town we would have in 20
years. Were all the industries we now
have doubled in size and production every
five or ten years, giving employment to
some of these boys. we would forget all
about new Industries" Intensive cult
walton of what we have would amount
to a great deal more than chasing the
rainbow of 'new industries" which
numerous others are also chasing.

petite Graves. If one is willing to drink

The president or the National Res
taurant Association wishes Ito elevate
the restaurant business of the country to
the plane of a profession and also to
stabilize the industry" Most regular
patrons of the smaller restaurants will
say that as far as the menus are con-
cerned the business is already sta
bilized." The small restauranteur who
will get out of the rut of serving certain
things on certain days so that his daily
clientele will not know to n certainty
just when corned beef and cabbage will
be served and just what each day will
bring forth as its special dish, would
make such a hit that he would soon have
to build an annex or lease larger quar-
tiers. From the viewpoint of the ulti-
mate consumer of restaurant food, there
is enough stability in this respect.
