THAT DIVIDEND.

To those who have read Of and
perhaps some now living remember
the methods of the Standard Oil
Company in getting control of the
oil output Of the United States and
later Of the World: the 400 per cent
dividend recently declared bv that
company is Of interest. The people
OF the United States were asleep
while this was going on. When the
movement started some of us were
not yet born. Now just to reason a
little. If the average small business
man were to make 40 per cent on an
investment he would think he was
doing fine and would congratulate
himself on his success. Suppose the
dividend on the Standard Oil stock
were reduced to 40 per cent and the
remaining 360 per cent were left i'm
the pockets of the consumers. Com
mon kerosene oil sells at around 2Oc
gallon. To reduce this 400 per
cent dividend to 40 per cent would
be to a l-1Oth or 80 per cent re-
duction. Reduce the price of oil
80 per cent would be reduction
OF IL cents on the gallon. Oil could
sell at z cents a gallon and at profit
OF 40 per cent. Figure on gasoline
and other by-productS in the same
way and see what You can get. 400
per cent dividend looks big but
does the public ever figure what il
means. There are many other
things in the country the profits of
which might be similarly figured.
lniS is merely an itc moi general
news. Pass it on.

TO SPEND OVER NlNE MILLIONS.

Approximately $9;000;000 Will be
expended by the American Red
Cross during the fiscal year ending
next June for the relief of former
service men disabled during the
World War. Since the care of form
cr soldiers and their dependents
has the first call upon Red Cross
services the national body will
spend $3:030;692 for such relief and
with every chapter practically add
ing to the relief the total will reach
the estimated figure. These funds
will be used for services the fede1--
al government is not authorized to
to render and for which it has
neither funds nor facilities.
