for an assessment against the stock
holders of the company to pay the
unsecured debts of the concern. If
the court, after hearing testimony
feels that it is necessary to levy an
assessment against the stockholders,
it probably will be done. Should this
be decided on, several of those owning
stock will get the worst OF the deal
as being the only ones on the list able
to pay. A large number of those own
ing stock are financially at low ebb
and unable to meet the demand.
The Superior National Forest Out
ing Company were the owners OF the
finest piece of lake shore property IN
the northwest. Natural facilities were
at hand for the outing spot of the
country. The building was coming
along nicely until internal difficulties
beset the company. To add to the
dissension, the fine hotel building
burned to the ground and no funds
were available for rebuilding. From
bad it went to worse with the result
that a receiver was appointed. How
ever the site and the opportunity is
still there to make White Iron Beach
the finest outing resort in the north
west.
California will not down. After
claiming climate all the year round
and sunshine every day, the enter
prising citizens of that state are pro-
posing a bridge across the Golden
Gate to the length of 6,l76 feet or
2.676 feet longer than the longest
span in the east. The very effete
east will needs wake up to keep pace
with the west. The FoShay Tower in
Minneapolis gives the east something
to think about as to height and now
comes this bridge scheme in San
Francisco which promises to capture
the laurelS as to length.
Noted economists have figured that
the dollar today will buy just two
thirds as much as it would in 1914
This may sound like campaign music
to some and gives them an excuse to
soap-box crate about the decadence
of the dollar but it must not be for
gotten that the average fellow has
two and three times as many dollars
in his pay envelope on Saturday night
now to what he had in 1914.
THE driver of vehicle shall not
drive to the left side of the center
line of a highway in overtaking and
passing another vehicle proceeding in
the same direction unless such left
side is clearly visible and free OF on
coming traffic for sufficient distance
ahead to permit such overtaking and
passing to be made in safety" says
the state traffic act. Failure to OBJ
serve this section of the law is one
Of the most dangerous things a
motoriSht can do. When collision
results from failure to observe this
rule, the results are nearly always
disastrous. Almost every week we
hear of one or more deaths due to
failure to observe this rule. 1t may
be difficult at times to estimate dis
tances and to Judge the speed OF ap-
proaching cars but in case OF doubt
the safe rule is WATT.
Some people are hard to satisfy.
An English artist visiting America for
the first time is delighted with the
American girl and says he wishes he
could see more of her. Maybe he
couldn't see very goodP
Some are of the opinion that scien-
lists now putting forth every effort to
rebuild glands to give old men youth
full ideas are wasting much time and
that they should center their efforts on
a process that will instill little of the
wisdom of the ages in the youth of the
land.
Some poultry fancier over in Ne
braSka has produced hen with no
wings under the theory that the bird
being without wings will be unable to
go anywhere and thus stay at home
and attend to her egg laying The
young lady neighbor now wants to
know. Supposing the chickens had no
wings and necks, would this do away
with the chicken dinners served at
chicken Shacks and Sociables.
A bank cashier who eSSayed to be up
among the 400 only missed it by one.
His number over in Leavenworth is
399.
After voIl attain O certain ape. time
fits by on the swiftest wings. First
it is July then Christmas and then
the same thing over again and each
time you are year older. However
a noted authority says that If you
wish to pass time still more rapidly,
just sign a good sized note due in
thirty days.
Our per capita soap consumption
has risen from % pounds year to IS
pounds in the last ten years. Soap
consumption increase keeps pace with
the l. w. w. decrease in the country
"a miracle of science which will
be of great value to the banking
fraternity is the grating of an ordin-
airy oyster into the eyesocket of a
human being says an authority on
banking" This experiment, depicted
above, brings to a successful conclu-
sion the efforts of the Bankers aSso-
citation to standardize vice presidents.
From now on, all vice presidents
will be equipped with the oyster eye to
use while looking at customers"
