THE R. |. DOLLINGS
COMPANY FAILURE
Many Delaware People Deeply In
vOlved As The Promised Large
Interest Rates Caught Them.
RECEIVERS BEEN APPOINTED
About $6O,OOO,OOO Is Involved In
All The DOlIings Company
Interests. 1

A tripartite receivership for the R
Z. DOllings Company of Ohio and the
International Note and Mortgage Com
pany, subsidiary of the DolIings
Company, was appointed by Common
Pleas Judge Robert P. Duncan, at
Cleveland, Ohio, last week, after the
company had acquiesced in the ap-
pointment of receivers demanded by
thirteen stockholders, who were Join
ed by fifteen other shareholders.
The receivers are William C. Will
lard, Vice President of the Hunting
ton National Bank, selected by the
Court; Paul A. de Long, selected by
counsel representing shareholders,
and Samuel A. Kinnear, selected by
counsel for the Dollings Company.
All are from Columbus.
The Court also appointed Fred M.
Sinks, an attorney, receiver for the C.
& E. Shoe Company of Columbus,
which had been financed by the Dol
lings Company, upon application of
Boston creditors. His bond was fixed
at $4,000.
The petitioners for the Dollings re-
ceivership declared that the compan-
les, which has sold from 100000 900 to
$75,OOO,OOO worth of stock to approx
imately $4,000 persons, were being
managed "for the purpose of selling
stock and not for the benefit of the
stockholders"
William G. Benham, as President of !
the Ohio company, and Dwight Har-
rison, as Vice President, have been
dominating the affairs of the other
companies, all of which are dealers
in securities, through nominal direc-
torates, according to the petitioners.
G. S. Morgan, representative of the
r. L. Dollings Company in Jackson
county, Ohio, committed suicide at his
home in Jackson, by hanging himself
in his barn. Worry over the financial
difficulties of the DOllings Company
was given as the reason for his sui =
eide.
Immediately after appointment of =
three receivers for the R. L. Dollings ! !
Company and the International Note !
and Mortgage Company, the State Sc !
curities Department revoked the Ii l
cense of the company to sell stock in :,
Ohio. The revocation order, also in :.
cluded all the subsidiary organiza- y
ions of the Dollings Company.
The Dollings Company is capitalized
It $S,000,000, and the International
Vote and Mortgage Company at S1O,- j
100000 preferred of which more than
z 100000 is outstanding.
Attorney Edward C. Turner, counsel
or the Dollings Company, in acqui-
scing in the receivership declared an v
ppl1catiOn for a receiver for such
oncerns usually puts them out of
usiness to all intents and PURPOSES"
nd that all interest of stockholders
ould best be preserved by placing the
rganization in the hands of receivers,
lus resulting in an entire change of IN
ersonnel of executives. The compan- ba
IS, he declared, owed no banks and otI
I'D no general creditors. nj,

JUDGE lands
RECEIVED OVATION
Visit To Salisbury Draws Many PeO-
pie To See One Of The Best
Known Jurists In The U. S.

The visit of Judge Kenesaw Landis
to the Eastern Shore League of base
ball, at Salisbury, last week, was an
other of those OutpOuring of the peo-
pie to see, man who has become of
national renOwn, as a jurist and as
the highest authority on the nation
al game of base ball, which takes
place in many places, when the OBJ
Ject of attention visits such localities.
A few years ago, when Booker T.
Washington visited Milford, thousands
of people gathered to see and hear the
most prominent negro in the world,
make an address on the Fourth-of-
July, which was an occasion very
similar to the visit of Judge Lands to
Salisbury last week.
The people of Salisbury gave him a
splendid reception and entertained
him royalty, both socially and in their
private homes.
In his short address the judge call |
ed attention to the necessity of public |
and said; next to being
at the head of base ball in the United |
States he would like to be dictator of
the Little-Potatoes-Bu ut-Hard-t Peel
League, where the most tragic prob
em in the world is a ball lost "down
,he sewer" He thinks more sandlot
oase ball will be the salvation of the
country, and less of it will mean
'uination.

aid. "But what good is a park to

IN CROPS
Western Canada Farmers As

Conditions Reported From Al Paris

From as early as April II, when

there anything but optimism in the
feelings of the farmers of that coun-
try. An uninterrupted chain Of favor
able conditions have bound the early
seeding data with the conditions Of

most imperceptible compared with the

He is a poor booster of his town,
who when singing his paean of prai-
Sc, overlooks the public schools, Out
side Of the home and church, around
the school cling the richest and ten
derest emotions of the human heart.
Happy is that community that
knows its schools and is proud Of
them. Such a place furnishes the
environment in which schools will
flourish and educational progress
will be made.
Among the most attractive features
and the most valuable assets of Win
slow is our school system. We have
five modern well equipped school
buildings and competent faculty COM

The High School was completed in

three thousand volumes; an arch

glee club band and orchestra are
also offered.
The following list of courses and
students registered in them will give

The Winslow mail., 1923-03-23

These courses in some cases will
prepare the student to enter directly
into vocation. Others prepare a
student to take up any special cour-

prepare the student for entrance into
practically any university or college
in the country. In all essentials
these are the same courses that will
be found in all the largest and best
equipped schools.
The WinslOw High School is the
only High School in Northern Ari-
