CALUMETS PLAY
WATERVILLE TEAM
next SATURDAY

Especial to the kennebec JournaD
Waterville August 5.-A humding-
er of game Of red hot baseball will
be pulled off Saturday afternoon at
Seaverns' Field when the waterville
Internationals, alias MATS. alias
"Papooses" meet their old arch enc
mics, the Capital City Calumets. The
game is being st ged under the aus
pices of the American Legion Of this
city and the proceeds will be turned
into the New rost Home fund.
Spirited rivalry exists between the
two teams. for Il reason that this
is to be a rubber game, each team
having one victory and one defeat to
it's credit and discredit.
Manager Papolos has been working
his men every evening this week. and
reports his team as being in tip top
shape. Mr.. Papolos has been study
ing the weak spots of his orsaniza-
ton, applying remedies here and
there in the way of careful coach
ing. No changes have been made in
the personnel of the outfit, present
material being deemed adequate to
attainment of victory in the coming
clash.
The management is looking for
ward to banner attendance, and
there seems to be no reason to eX-
pect anything different. Augusta will
in all probability send up goodly
bunch of fans: Waterville Is bound
to come across; Fairfield is good
fan town and is represented by four
PLAYERS on the team-Brown, Grover,
Pooler and Dorien.
Tickets are already on sale al
Choates Music Store. Joe Qulrion's

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Stocks In Small Lots.
~ GEORGE r. HUGHEs.


Continuing our discussion Of the
differences between stocks and bonds,
stocks have the advantage of being
easier to buy and sell in smaller lots
than bonds. This. at least. is true OF
issues listed on the New York Stock
Exchange. The unit OF trading on
the exchange is 100 shares. When
we say. for instance. that United
States Steel common sold at l25 we
mean that 100 shares changed hands
for $12, 500.
II is possible, however. to buy or
sell any number OF shares from ! to
- At q price which varies from the
10o.share price by only an eighth to
.. quarter Of a point. For the most
active stocks the differential is one
eighth, for less active or very high
priced ones 1t is one-quarter--that
is to say, IL Steel common is selling
for a full lot at 125, one share may
he bought for 1854 or one share may
he sold for 124h. These charges are
f,xed and uniform end II ts just as
easy to buy and sell the smaller mum.
her a. 1t In the larger. This 10 a
great advantage to the small investor
and quite a different situation from
that which obtains with 800 or $500
bonds.
Another distinction is that while
bonds always sell plus the Interest
accrued up to the time the sale is
made the buyer Of a stock does not
have to pay the dividend accrued.
Dividends are paid to the holder
whose name appears on the books of
the corporation at fixed date. If
the purchase Is made prior to this
date the buyer of the stock gets the
dividend: IL 1t Ia made after this date
he does not get the dividend. As
matter Of fact. this Is adjusted in the
market price. For example, say
stock selling for 100 pays dividends
on April and that the dividend Is
navable to stock Of record March Is.
If then the dividend IL at the annual
rate Of s per cent or 112 per cent
quarterly. the stock selling at 100 on
March IA would be quoted at 9sh
on March Is.
II must be remembered that trans
action entered into on one day is not
completed by the exchange Of cash
until the following day. which ac-
counts for the coming of Of the divi-
dend on the day the stock is due to
he recorded for dividend payment. OF
course, there are many other factors
which influence market prices than
dividend payments go that this selling
with or without the dividend is often
-obecured. 4
