hands of skilled jugglers of cor porations. nevertheless, it does not disappear with the disconcertting suddenness and thoroughness of the equity represented by assess able stock. And by the process of evolution, because the public re- fused to buy assessable stock, the promoter has turned almost en- tirely to non-assessable stocks. On the other hand, it is easy to see that in certain conditions and in the hands of the right people, the assessable stock has advantages. If a group of people with their eyes open go into a mining enterprise with the inten- tion of staying with it to the end and with their eyes open agree to assessments ad libitum, then the problem of continued capital for continued operations is an easy one: and those financial crises. so ruinous to the stockholders in- terests. which so often affiict the non-assessable mining stock, are avoided. Moreover. the financial history of many mining stocks has shown that assessab ble mining stocks have been the basis of numerous successful ventures after one or more assessments. The great Home stake mine in South Dakota levied one assessment before it became a profitable gold producer; the Tintic Standard mine in Utah, levied not fewer than 19 assessments before
 it. too went over the top.
 The purchase of non-assessable stock is no more protection against fraud than purchase of the assessable variety. Both may be
 manipulated before and after they are issued. In the last analysis the honesty and reputation of the
 people behind the company is the
 best guarantee the stockholder can
 have.-Portland Canal Stewart, 1 B. O News

ASSESSABLE MINING STOCK

We note that Mining Truth of Spokane is campaigning for a re- vival of the assessable stock plan for mining corporations. In this connection Engineering and Min ing Journal Press comments as follows:
 The recent ruling of the New York Curb Association against the listing of assessable stocks is of interest to mining companies. Mining companies whose stock was assessable were once very com mon; but in many cases the sys- tenn was abused by those who held control of the company's policy and the situation degenerated in- to what was plainly called by them game of 'freeze-out." !" Every time a new assessment was declared, a certain margin of dis couraged stockholders refused to pay, and thereby forfeited their stock, which made the shares of those who were still in so much more valuable. But at the next as- sessment another outside ring of clinging stockholders was jared loose, while the real insiders fatten- ed thereby. Meanwhile, the stock was judicioulsy traded in and maneuvered on the stock exchange, new buyers came along, speculat- ing, buying for rise. and there by a new crop of stakers was ready for the assessment.
 In some cases mines were kept open and run for many years by systematic assessments, these pay ing for the salaries of the controll- ing ring and for the deficits in mining operations. These were losing enterprises, which on a strict business basis would have been shut down. Some of the companies operating on the Con- stock Lode are examples. The in- vestor who hopes to make money out of mining profts-if there be any SO guileless-had about the same chances as the traditional snowball in Hades. -.
 Such instances as we have sketched above were perhaps the exception. but they were common enough to call for the nonassessabl ble stock plan, which would guarantee equity in consideration of money invested. This equity may be and often Is a vanishing one, in the

Orthopedic Hospital Appreciates Wrangelrs
 Liberal Contribution

The following letter addressed to the citizens of Wrangell was re- .eiyed this week by Mrs. s. D. Grant from the children's Ortho- ,edic Hospital of Seattle:
 Dear Friends:
 We are enclosing herewith our receipt in the sum of s223.- 35, your generous gift to the working fund of the hospital.
 The good woman who found- ed the institution more thaI eighteen years ago realized that the hospital would be expensive to build and expensive to main tain and this one must serve the entire Northwest From tht very beginning we have taker crippled and sick children from every county in Washington. from the surrounding states, British Columbia, and as far north as Icy Cape, Alaska, from which place we recently had a letter from one of our former patients.
 We are very grateful to every outside community which helps us carry on. You will think it strange when We say that your duty is only half done when you give to the Orthopedic. The other and more important half of your work is to be on the lookout for any little crippled child who needs the care which the hospital offers. that you will tell his parents or help him to come here.
 We would be glad to have a list of names of friends in Wrangell who would like our annual report when printed. In sending thanks we must send the thanks of the 100 little children in our care today, for they are the ones who share in your generous gift.
 Sincerely yours,

PERSONS IN 9 HOURS
OFFICIALS AT YALE BOW L
PERFORM GIANT TASK
EACH YEAR.

To get $4,000 men and women all
into one huge crowd and then to sep
arate them and get them started back
to their homes, all within the period
of nine hours. That is the job that is
accomplished each year on the occa-
sion of the annual Yale-Harvard foot
ball battle in the Yale bowl, at New
Haven, Conn. There are other sport
ing events that draw huge crowds in
many parts of the country, but none
can equal the mob that each year at
tends the football classic OF the east
.ern season.
To handle the huge crowd costs
.$1000,000, part of which is paid by
the $4,000, and part of which comes
out of the pockets of officials in charge
of the gathering. Spectators attend
the classic from all parts of the Unit
ed States and from not a few foreign
countries.
The Yale Harvard game is played
in November, but the work of prepar-
ing for the contest and the crowd
which will attend it begins in June.

ADVANCE GUARD ANTI-EVO-

TAMPA, Fla.-The advance guard
of the Bible Crusaders" who hope
to sweep the country with their fun
damentalist campaign by carrying the
battle against teaching of evolution
into every home, have arrived here.
Backed by George H Washburn, a
millionaire of Boston and Clearwater,
Fla, former close friend of William
Jennings Bryan, who has contributed
100000 to start the ball rolling, the
Bible Crusaders began their ten days
campaign in Florida tonight.
After that they will sweep north
ward, hoping to gather hosts as they
60, until they reach Washington,
where a national headquarters Wal~be
organized. The new organization is
reminiscent of the old crusades against
liquor and will operate somewhat sim
liar to that of the Anti-Saloon League
Mr.. Washburn declared today that
his fortune was dedicated hencefortl
to the PRONUNCIATION of Bryan's fun
damentalist ideals. He said he would
give another 100000 later if needed.
The organization will publish Z
magazine to be known as the Crusa-
der's Champion.
The pupbose of the crusaders will
be to seek legislation curbing teach
ing of the evolution theory on the
ground it undermines faith in the

PREPARING TO PAVE
FLORIDA SHORT ROUTE
HIGHWAY TO BE HARD SUR
FACED FROM FLORIDA LINE
TO WEBSTER COUNTY.

MOULTRIE, Cain the event
that the state highway commission
gives its approval to the project the
Florida Short Route will be paved
from the Webster county sline, via
Dawson, Albany, Sylvester, Moultrie
and Ouitman to the Florida line.
This would give hard surfaced
highway to one of the main paved
roads of north Florida. The road from
Sylvester to Albany is already partly
paved and the contract has been let
for the paving of the remainder of the
distance.
Terrell county will soon vote on a
100000 bond issue for hard surfaced
roads. The commissioners of Brooks,
Worth and Colquitt counties have al
ready agreed to the paving in the
event state and federal aid can be OBJ
tanned. Before such cooperation Will
be vouchsafed, however, it will be
necessary for the highway commission
to designate the Moultrie Quitman
road as a part of the state aid system.
A petition saking that this action be
taken has already been filed and the
hearing was held several days ago in
Atlanta. At present there is a state aid
road connecting Moultrie with Quit
man and Moultrie with Townsville
by way of Pavo, but neither OF these
roads is used by the travelling public
in reaching Quitman or Townsville

ed change and the commission for the
convenience of the citizens of that
town came to Mou1trie on Tuesday to
give them a hearing. A large delega-
ton came up.

STILL DRAW PENSIONS

Soldiers widows appear to have re-

who says;
Some of the boys who fought in

about as old as I am before marrying

THREE WOMEN HAVE SEATS
IN NEW CONGRESS. KNOW
THE POLITICAL GAME.

When the Hon. Nicholas Long
worth, speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives, administers the oath next
Monday in the new congress to his 434
associates there were three women
among those present who swore to
defend the constitution against all enc

Two of them are republicans, each
succeeding her deceased husband, and
the third is democrat.
Women Have Been Handicapped.
There have been only four women
in the house of representatives here
tofore. One woman was in the senate
for a day. None of them succeeded in
writing her name high in the hall OF
fame.
In each instance, however, the pio-
neer lady members" were handicapp-

Der OF their sex present. They were a
novelty, an object OF special attention
from capitol guides.
Women representatives, heretofore
in the opinion of most students of the
house, have failed to make place tor
themselves, but it is believed they will

The United States appears to have

Brazil from holding up the American

Coffee Too High.
Brazil wanted a loan to tide the
coffee growers over until the price
went up. At the advice of the United
States government New York city
bankers turned the South Americans
down. London secured the loan.
The Brazilian coffee supply has for
many years been controlled artificial

governmental purchases in the open

when marketing conditions warrant,

FOREIGN DECORATIONS FOR
THOUSANDS OF AMERICANS
BEING INVESTIGATED.

To what extent has foreign propa-
ganda in this country taken the form
of foreign decorations for American
citizens? This is the question that is
being investigated in Washington.
The French government alone, it is
declared, has conferred the decoration
OF the legion OF honor upon 1923
American citizens.
United States Senator George w.
Norris, OF Nebraska, has written to
Secretary of State Kellogg for list
OF Americans thus decorated, it is
said. Actors, clergymen, army and
navy officers, lawyers, clergymen,
journalists, members OF the diplomatic
service and university students are in
cluded in the list, as well as race
horse owners, philanthropists and al
least one dentist.
On the list are such names as Gen.
John J. Pershing, Florenz Ziegfeld,
Admiral Benson Mary Garden, David
Belasco, Gen. Tasker Bliss, Richard
E. Enright and many other persons.
The name of Woodrow Wilson does
not appear.
