EVERYMAN'S

The third suggestion IS to Q held for

There Is little opportunity for expan-
sion In the railroad world now. Tne era
Of railroad building In this country. on
any large scale at least. Is definitely
closed
On the other hand. the railroads
furnish an essential public service: one
which the motor car cannot seriously
threaten. Passenger raffic, it Is true,
has steadily fallen away IN recent years.
but freight III bulk and other long dis
tances where there Is no waterway can
be- carried In no other way,
Moreover, the outlook for Government
regulation Of the railroads Is favorable
from the standpoint OF the investor
rather than otherwise. Politicians have
come 10 realise that railroads cannot be
operated satisfactorily o. the comnluni-
ties they serve unless the capital tn
vested therein receives fair return.
That Is all the investor needs 10 ask.
OF coures profits Of the railroads, like
those of the public utilities. are limited,
but the compensation Is the STABILITY of
income as ccntrasted with the average
industrial,
it may be that railroad stocks In the
present market are too high and that
they will sell lower sooner or later.
Whether that IL SO or not. II can al
least ec said there has been not nearly
20 much extravagant speculation In rail-
roads ~ In industrials and that the
margin Of safety between dividends and
earnings 10 larger In the former than In
the latter. Common stocks representing
the equity In the larger aystems deserve

tative plans for a fitting observance
of the city's 18th birthday, which oc-
ours next year, were made. The mat
ter which claimed most of the at
tention during the business meeting
was the proposed purchase of the old
Carl Nagel farm along the Cotton
wood river. New Ulm proposes to
buy the tract Of land for a three
fold purpose, that of establishing an
airport, golf links and a country club.
The property comprises $50 acres and
has such divergent formations that it
may be used for all three purposes.
1t was stated that this property can
be acquired for about SIS per acre.
The matter will be thoroughly dis
cussed at some future meeting.

MODERN RIP VAN
WINKLE is POUNDS,
HIDDEN % YEARS

A Rip Van Wrinkle in real life has
been discovered in the person of one
Frania Kreiner of Belgrade. He had
lived for % years hidden in one room
of large deserted house. When he
emerged the other day he did not
know there had been a World War,
he thought the Emperor Franz Josef
was still alive, and he had never
seen an automobile. He was amused
by present-day masculine clothing.
The hermit returned to his room
without seeing any women. Recent
lv Kreiner was discovered. Natural
ly he was thought insane, but tests
proved him sane and extremely clev-
er. Twenty-Five years ago Kreiner
disappeared after a broken romance
and everyone thought he had left the
country. He kept one servant te
bring him water and the plainest sort
of food.
