STANDARD OIL DIVIDENDS

Along with the huge and continuing
development and expansion of the oil
industry in this country, there has
been tremendous growth and vast pro-
fits by the Standard Oil group of COM
panies. At the end of 1911 they We're
separated under decree of the United
States supreme court. In the ten
years since they have increased
their aggregate capitalization from
$276 200, 900 to $1,O16, 100000.
Such increase came about thru issue
and sale for cash of $432, 100000 of
new securities by the various Standard
Oil companies. The other part of the
$4,000, 900 increase in capitalization
resulted almost entirely from stock
dividends from undivided profits.
During the same time $923,345 900
has been distributed to the sharehold-
ers in cash dividends, the total for this
year being $114,44O,OO0.

A remarkable bird has been exhib-
tied at the London poultry show. 1t
crows, has spurs and tail like a
cockrel, but lays eggs.
The strange bird which is Gagged in
a pen of fine mesh wire netting laid
eggs one morning. The freak was
bred by j. A. Chaplin, of the Kent
county training center, at Lynesford.
Several scientific societies are seeking
to purchase it.
A certain concrete arch bridge in
the south of France, known as the
Pont du Gard, was erected in the
rather remote year Sc B. c., and has,
therefore, been in use for nearly 1000
years.
The concrete of this structure was
not composed of crushed stone or
other small aggregate of the variety
now employed in bridge work, but was
of the old style, consisting of alter
nate layers of large and small stones
gravel, ETC., and cementitious mater
rails

DEER RACES TRAINS

Tales of tame doe which races
with trains on the Lewisburg and Ty-
rome branch of the Pennsylvania Rail
road and follows children living in the
mountains near Ingleby, Center coun-
ty, Pa, to school every morning, have
been brought to Harrisburg by train
men, who say the deer, which has been
named Mimi, is a great pet of the
mountain folk.
Three years ago Mimi, then fawn
came to the Ingleby summer home of
Mrs. H. w. Rowe. Children fed and
petted the fawn, which stayed, making
an old log shed it's refuge.
Strangest of all, its inseparable
companion is huge dog which acts as
a protector. Every morning Derry
Cherry, engineer of the Lewisburg and
Tyrone Flyer, toots his whistle when
he nears Ingleby. The toot is sign
for the train crew to notify the pas
sengers that the strange race between
the deer and the train is on. Some
times Mimi takes the track and runs
ahead of the engine, but generally
races alongside.

SOME COMPARATIVE BIRTH
RATES

Maryland is one of two states in the
birth registration area whose birth
rate shows an increase over 1916, re-
garded as a normal year, according to
4 report ssued by the Census Bureau.
The area Includes % States and the
District of Columbia, which have 1913
per cent. of the country's population.
The States increase was made in
the face of a sharp falling off in the
ipures for the whole area. The rate
per 900 of population in Maryland in
1920, the year covered by the report,
was 24.S. In 1916 it was 24.1. For the
whole area the 1920 rate was 1871
against 25 in 1916. Maine was the
only other state which showed an in
crease. The rate also increased in the
District of Columbia.
All the states showed an increase
over 1919, but the bureau considers
1916 a more normal year, because sit
preceded the influenza epidemic and
the entrance of the United States into
the war" In 1920 there were $685.
874 births reported in the area.
Maryland stands eighth on the list
with respect to the 1920 birth rate,
this being higher in Kentucky, Michi-
gan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania,
South Carolina, Utah and Virginia.
This State is fifteenth in number of
births, with 36,212 for 1920. Of these
29,452 were white. The rate increased
nearly twice as much in the white pop
ulation, over the previous year, as in
colored population.
The highest birth rate reported for
white population was 31.7 in North
Carolina, and the lowest is 1873 in Cal
ifornia. The birth rate for the col
ored population (including negroes
Indians, Chinese and Japanese),
reached 1915 in Washington and 39.a
in California. Kansas had the lowest
rate, 17.1-Baltimore Sun.

Henry Must Maintain Rates

Henry Ford's attempt to reduce
freight rates on coal 20 per cent along
the lines of his railroad, the Detroit,
Toledo and Ironton, was disallowed
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
The commission based it's action on
the ground that the reduction would
constitute a discrimination against
other mining territory, the coal pro-
duct of which is sold in Toledo, De-
troit and other cities along the Ford
railroad.
The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton is
financially able to make the reduction,
the commission said, but "a proper
rate relationship between competitive
groups, particularly on such COM
modify as coal, is in many respects of
graver importance to the shipping pub
lie than the measure of the rate ITSELF

Compressed air is playing a very

Compressed air is playing very
important part in the whaling indus
try. After whale is captured, COM
pressed air is used to make it float,
each whaler being. equipped with an
air compressor, the whale is tied n
longside the ship, and four foot
spear is plunged into it. This spear
is very sharp at the end and is pro-
vided with perforations thru which
the air escapes. At the butt Of the
spear there is attached a compressed
air hose. About two inches back of
this hose there is attached heavy
rope. The hose is about 100 feet in
length.
After this spear has been rammed
into the whale the creature is pumped
up, which makes it float like rubber
ball. The spear is then withdrawn
and the hole plugged with oakum.
1t requires only three or four minutes
70 deliver sufficient air within the
whale to make it float. After the
whale has been properly inflated a
flagstaff with a flag is mounted on
the carcass, while the steamer leaves
in the pursuit of another whale. -

Japan's new premier, Korekizo Ia
kahashi, was once a slave in the Uni
ted States. This remarkable fact
was communicated to a correspondent
by Mauzo Yoshida, Japanese mer-
chant in Montreal.
Premier Takahashi, he says, landed
in San Francisco penniless many years
ago and was sold into slavery in the
mines by labor agent.
Prince Yuakura, Japanese envoy on
the way to London, heard of the
young Japanese slave and purchased
his freedom, giving him money to go
to school. The future premier made
quick advancement and later acquiring
a thorough knowledge of English and
some acquaintance with American
business methods, returned to Japan.

COURTSHIP AND MARRIAGE OF
THE INDIANS

Indian courtship and marriage rules
among the Chenennes, before the days
of the white mans law, were simple
but rigid, according to John H. Seger,
founder, and for many years a teacher
in the Seger Indian School near Ca
mute, Okla.
An Indian courtship may begin this
way: An Indian boy at dance may
see a girl he likes. He gazes intently
at the girl. If she likes him, she will
return the look. At dances the women
stay on one side of the house and the
men on the other. If the girl well
comes the boys attentions she may
dance across the floor and touch him
for a partner. When it comes time
for him to select a partner he may in
differently pat her on the head and she
will dance around with him again.
He does not take her home. In
case he wants to talk with her he will
place himself in her way as she starts
to leave the dance, throw his blanket
around her, and, both, wrapped in the
blanket, stand and talk for minute
or two while the others go by. After
the talk he goes home with the men
and she joins the women.
The engagement may be made this
way: The mother of the girl while
visiting the mother of the son may
happen to say: "You ought to see the
fine headwork my daughter can do"
To which the mother of the boy may
say: "You ought to see what big
hunter my son is. He never goes out
unless he brings in deer or buffalo"
"How many ponies do you think
YOUR son would give for my daugh-
teri"
"Your daughter should be so glad
to have my son for husband that
two ponies would be enough"
Both families talk the thing over
and if it is agreeable all around the
| boy who wants the girl may tie two
ponies near the tepee of the girl. Ty-
ing the ponies near the lodge was not
to be considered purchase, but mere
ly concrete way of telling how much
the boy loved the girl.
If things were still favorable the
animals would be taken and tied some
other place. In case the girls family
wanted to show how much they APP
preciated having the boy for son-in-
law, they, in turn, might tie some
ponies for him to take.
When the ponies are accepted the
engagement is made. The prospective
bridegroom now lies down on the
ground before the door of the tepee
in which his sweetheart lives and be-
HAYES himself in manner that dog
does before the door of his master
This to say he will be faithful to his
wife.
After he has lain before the door
for short time the girl comes out
past him, naming the date at which
they will begin to live together as man
and wife. He then goes in and is
Toasted. From the time of the feast
until the marriage day he is not per-
mitted to speak to his sweetheart. A
tepee with his scant furnishings is set
up and made ready for the wedding
day. On the day of the marriage the
girl and the boy go to the tepee with
out ceremony.

PRACTISING WHAT WE PREACH
~, Twin g Cohh

Most of us are ready to preach
thrift for others. Not enough OF US
are willing to practise it on our own
account. Probably the man who first
suggested that the rest of the world
should put by something for a rainy
day didn't own an umbrella himself.
Many people look upon thrift as
some of us look upon boil on another
mans neck in the spring of the year.
We tell him comfortingly that a boil
on his neck is good thing for him
it'll purify his blood clear his system
of poisons, make his general health
better. Later on, we assure him, he'll
feel-ever so much happier for having
undergone the present experience. But
for all that none of US would care to
have that boil transferred from the
other mans neck to our neck.
In a way of speaking, the same
thing applies to the practise of ra-
tional thrift. Too often the average
American follows the line of least re-
sistance in this matter. When times
are good he thinks he has no need to
save. And when TIMES are bad he
has nothing to save anyhow. Our
spirit of national optimism is such
that across the fair part of a fat year
we fail to discern the creeping shad-
ows of lean years coming after. The
Arkansas mountaineer who explained
that he didn't mend the hole in his
roof because in stormy weather he
couldn't mend it and in fair weather
he had no need to mend it because it
then didn't leak was typical of whole
lot of us.
The United States Government, in
carrying on it's Thrift Campaign, is
striving to combat this common ten
dency amongst our people. The Gov
eminent, through the Treasury De-
partment, is trying to show us that a
reasonable frugality does not mean
miserliness; that the possession of
honestly earned, sanely saved money
makes US more valuable to ourselves
and to our neighbors as citizens and
more useful, collectively, as a nation.
Treasury Savings Securities take the
mortgage off the present and make
brighter the prospect of the future. If
everyone of US, during 1922, makes up
his mind OF her mind to acquire Treas
ury Savings Securities-and to keep
them-this year will be happier year
for Americans and more stable year
for their country. Well know then
that we can't go broke unless the
United States goes broke first-and
that's not probable.
Let us do this and the vendors of
worthless and fraudulent schemes OF
investment will lose their main sources
of income; the fy-by-night promoter
will suffer; the bucket-shopper will
feel the pinch of sudden poverty and
the man who lives by crooked finan-
cial devices will go to and fro be-
moaning his fate.
But the rest of us will be infinitely
better off.
