The Quiet Man

When men are elevated to places
high and grand, they're often so
elated they talk to beat the band.
Odshshing and beshrewing, thew
chatter, blithe and gay; reporters,
interviewing, are worked twelve
hours a day. With every human
topic they seem to be in touch, and
all these people yawpic are sure to
say too much. They make some
horrid blunder, they pull some boner
rude, and all the voters wonder
what loco weed they chewed. Then
from the snowy summit they're
laughed or hooted down; they find
dirge and hum it, and sink, with
their renown. My old friend Cal
wins risen to heights supremely
great; silent course is his'n-he
simply won't crate. He hears mems
cry ascending, Come bind us with
a SPELL" but he, remote, unbending,
responds not to their yell. In vain
the people follow and beg him for a
speech; "Oh, come to Pumpkin Hol-
low," "Oh, come to Bullfrog Beach I"
Chautauqua tents are waiting, town
halls are all aglow, but Calvin's not
Grating, for marbles, chalk or
:ough. And SO we have the feeling
hat he's a man of force. for we are
:ired of spelling, of windsmiths loud

figures show that the Washington
Railway and Electric Company paid a
dividend of per cent on sS.500.000
in excess of it's physical valuation.
I'm the case of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company: During 1922
the company paid the interest on its
funded debt and a dividend of 10 per
cent on it's s6.000.000 Of capital stock.
These figures show that the company
paid a dividend of 10 per cent on
S43S1,700 in excess OF the physical
valuation of It's properties or 1t paid
So per cent on s1,61S,3oO, the share
holders equity in the physical valu-
alton of the property. I believe this
company has paid regularly a divi-
dend Of 10 per cent on its s6,000,000
of capital stock ever since the COM
mission was established"
