CREMATION SOCIETY
POPULAR IN BERLIN
About One-Fourth of City's Four
Million People Inscribed
as Members.

By Radio to The Star and the Chicago Daily
News. Copyright, 1924.
BERLIN. February 27.-You can't
afford to live in Berlin and still less
can you afford to die here unless you
belong to a cremation society. One
fourth Of Berlin now does.
Literally one million Of Berlin's
four millions are inscribed as men,
bers. Since 1922 the number of men,
bers has doubled. The reason isn't
esthetic or a desire to initiate the
funeral pyres of heroic Greeks, but
sheer want. Proper burial in Berlin
has become a luxury which only the
rich can afford.
Even cremation costs about S93.
Hence numerous cremation candi-
dates are protesting that the price
which was fixed in 1911 Intentionally
high in order TO discourage crema-
tion should be lowered. There is no
prejudice against burning bodies now.
Life in Germany has become too
wearisome for the people 10 worry
what happens after death.

CESS? The universal comment has
been that our prospectus has been too
modest in its prophecy. Indeed, that is
true-but | believe in conservative
statements-and aggressive action.
There isn't an idle dollar of this CAPT.
tal-every penny of it is proftably in
vested right now. So it will be with
every dollar as fast as it comes in. The
market for Wardman Mortgage and
Discount Corporation funds is waiting
and ready-supplying the very best Sc
curity and insuring the most satisfying
returns.
For the present-with each share of
Sc Preferred Stock at $l25.00 per share
we are issuing share of Common. The
Preferred must earn go and the
minimum dividend for the Common is
$500 per share. But the surplus profits
will be divided between both classes of
stock, equally.
So what on its face looks like $12.0O
earn-is likely to reach much higher.

N'NAB OIL TEST WELL
DRILLING AT 2647 FEET

A report received from the
McNab oil test well yesterday
is to the effect that drilling at
that test is proceeding at 2647
feet, with the bit in hard sand
formation. Our informant, who
was just from the well, stated
that there was some gas show
ing.
Mr.. Frank Myers of the
Hampstead Oil Co., drillers of
the Nichol No. l test near this

Chancery Court here in which
he hopes to clear his company's
title to the drilling rig at their
location before resuming work
on their we'll. The case is dock
eted for May Goth.

BEES ATTEMPT TO
DISPOSSESS RESIDENT

Two large swans of bees,
one closely following the other
sailed over town from parts un-
known Sunday afternoon and
set up claim of ownership Of
the home of Miss Ella Monroe
by installing themselves pc
tween the weather boarding
and ceiling walls of the build,
ing. They Immediately busted
themselves with depositing
comb and honey and for a time
it looked like a fifty-fty bet
whether the mistress of the
house or the bees would get
full possession-Miss Monroe
had declared there wasn't
room for both.
With the aid Of two youths
of the town, and after many
stings from the unwelcome
guests, the bees were reached
by ripping off the weather
boarding, transferred to boxes.
and removed from the prem
ises.
