Preferred Stocks
BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Of .sas. the sS.s.s9 ..oo e ~ s.
He analyses the technical provisions p
about the corporations behind the Sc
euritles., The chief purpose Is TO explain
Of hIgh grade beins used for the Illus
National Biscuit.
Few preferred stocks command sc
high rating as that OF National Bis
cult Co. The senios shares of this cor
poration have numerous points OF
strength. In the first place, there is no
funded debt, the preferred being the
first capital obligation. In the second
place the investment is thoroughly sea-
soned. The regular per cent dividend
on the preferred has been paid without
interruption since 1898, the year of In
corporation. In the third place, earn
ings cover dividend requirements by q
very wide margin. In the past 10 years
net available for the preferred has never
been less than $22.35 share and that
was in 1920, while in 1929 the amount
was 1886 a share. For the first six
months of this year income was equal
to $40.46 a share on the preferred stock
with S4105 a share in the
first six months of 1929.
Since 1899 there has always been g
common dividend at one rate or an
other and the company has reported
steady growth. This record is reflect
ed in a market for the stock, which
gives a return of considerably less than
5 per cent. The stock is cumulative as
to dividends and preferred both as to
assets and as to dividends. Up to last
year the preference in the charter had
been confined to dividends, but stock
holders have approved an amendment
it to assets.
There are cases where q preference
as to assets is important, but with a
so strong and SO unlikely
TO liquidate as National Biscuit there
is no advantage in this provision. The
change did not add to the market value
of the stock nor to its investment status.
1t only remains to point out the strong
financial position of the company. AS
of March 81 last cash and United
States securities were over $24 100000,
whereas all current liabilities we're less
than SS,400,000. The total amount Of
preferred outstanding is 248,045 shares
Of 500 par value.

Peter Uses His Heels
some people take peculiar joy
IN seeking beauty to dsstroy;x.A

A little bramble- tangle was growing
right near where Peter had found the
Columbine. He could sit In that brarn-
ble-tangle and be safe and at the same
time look at and admire the noddIng
blossoms. So Peter made himself very
comfortable there. From time to time
he dozed OF. Between little maps he
watched the Columbine blossoms as the
Merry Little Breezes swayed them this
way and that.
It was along In the middle Of the
morning that Peter heard voices. They
were the voices of children. They were
laughing and shouting, and Peter knew
by the sound that they were in the
lower part of the Old Pasture. At firSt
he paid little attention to them. Then
curiosity led him to go and see what
they were doing. He didn't have to go
far, for by this time they were halfway
up TO where he had been sitting.
Peeping out from beneath some
brambles, Peter saw two boys and a
girl. In the hands Of all three were
flowers, and Peter saw that they were
looking for more flowers. He heard the
little girl give a shrek of delight when
she found q patch of exquisite arbutus.
From where Peter sat he could watch
her. He saw her tear 1t up, root and
all. Afterward she broke on some of
the roots. Peter wanted to stamp an
grily at her. He knew 1t was thought
lessneSS on her part, but he also knew
that in time there would be no arbutuS
left If every one were so thoughtless
Later he saw one Of the boys do the
same thing.
Some Of the flowers in the hands of
these children were sadly wilted. All
their beauty was gone. Peter knew just
how lovely they had been and he
couldn't understand at all why these
children should want those sickly,
dropping blossoms. which no longer
were beautiful. But they did want
were searching here, there and every
where.
Then Peter remembered the Column
bine blossoms upon the rocky ridge.
| Those children would be sure to find
! them and If they found them, they
l would take not only the blossoms, but
| the whole plant as well. At least, that
Is what Peter feared. He must do some
| thing about it. Yes, sir. he must dc
something about it, and he must do II
| quickly. But what could he do? He
couldn't tell those little folk that they
shouldn't pick the flowers. OF course
| not. Then Peter remembered how often
| he had been chased by boys.
"I'll have to use my long heels to
save those flowers" said he to himself
and hoped out into one of the wind
| ing cowpaths.
Up this path Peter hoped. Presently
| Just ahead of him, ne saw one Of the
boys Peter stopped. Then he thumped
| the ground with his long hindfeet. The
boy heard the thump and turned. OF
course, he saw Peter at once. Right
then and there he forgot all about the
flowers. "A Rabbit" he shouted. Heres

The Wrangell sentinel., 1930-05-29

Mayor Diemart this week received cablegram from Delegate Suther- land stating that Congress had passed bill conveying to the Town of Wrangell, Alaska, a deed to an area 20S.16 by 2OS.30 feet located on Church street, in Wrangell, Al aska, and known as U. s. School Reserve No. 3.
 The property referred to in the above is the desirable lot on which stands a dilapidated old building that was originally built for q Ma tive school and during the past few years used by the Wrangell school board for a high school.
 In April, 1929, the Town Council condemned the old buildicg for fur ther use for school purposes. After the old structure had been con- demned the matter of demolishing it was considered. This brought out the fact that the Town had never received a deed to the property, all though it had fulfilled it's contract with the Bureau of Education. The Council took up the matter with the Department of the Interior. Corre- spondence disclosed that three years ago Jonathan Wagner, Chief of the A1oCIyn nF ucation, sent a communication to the Commissioner of Education at Washington recommending that the Town of Wrangell be granted deed to the property. Just why the De- partment of the Interior took no ac tion at that time is not known.
 During the past year L. B. Chis holm, town clerk. wrote several let Gers to Washington in an effort to get action on the matter. As a re- suit of these communications the Department of the Interior last sum mer addressed a letter to Delegate Sutherland requesting him to intro duce a bill in Congress transferring title to the property from the Gov ernment to the Town of Wrangell.
 The information that Congress has finally passed the special act that was required in order to effect a transfer of the property is welcome news to both the Town Council and the Wrangell School Board.

CIVIC CLUB MEMBERS ARE
 RE-CATAL0GUING BOOKS
 AT THE PUBLIC LIBRARY

A small group of women under the supervision of Miss Plank, school librarian during the school year, have been re-cataloguing the books at the Public Library. The task is not small one and will take some time. During the past week, it has been necessary to stop the circula- tion of books but the Library Board has decided to allow the books that are already catalogued to be taken out after today. The charge for li- brary cards, 25 cents per month, will be continued for the present.
 The cost of making the change n the library system falls heavily on the little group of active workers in the Civic Club and interested citi- zens can help by taking out cards at the usual price. The refund from the Territory is on books and maga- zines only and the bill for the libra ry supplies needed in the change which is being made, amounting to nearly one hundred dollars, must be met by the club before the library can be placed on the free list.
