"WINTER GARDEN REVUE" AT
THE KENT AND SUSSEX FAIR

Supplying an incessant demand
winter Garden Revue" features of
the Kent and Sussex Fair is sched-
uled for week of July $3.50. That
demand is for flesh" for people in
stead of silver sheet figures.
Productions of Ziegfeldian calibre
rarely go out on the road, and when
they do it is only to fill engagements
in half a dozen cities. Hence movie
producers attempted to show musi-
cal comedies by the screen. But
they were not successful. There is
but one way to achieve the end re-
quired by show-gOers. That is to
given them the real person, bring
them in person before the spectators.
Winter Garden Revue" not only
brings the artists to view, but it
offers entertainment of quality SUI
perior to anything even dreamed of
by producers of outdoor entertain
ment in past years. ttf
No longer can the Importance of
these open-air shows be discounted.
Talent of the highest calibre, supe-
rior stage direction, elaborate seen
cry and expensive costumes have
changed things materially in the
show world.
If it were not for the fact that the
larger fairs playing these high-class
musical shows can accommodate
thousands in their stands instead
of hundreds, it would not be possi-
BILE to play them. The big seating
capacities are also an advantage in
the prices of admission.
They make it possible to charge less
than a third of what these shows de-
mand in many theatres throughout
thn country

DERRICKSON
The death of Mrs. Mae Derrick
son, beloved wife of E. Russell Der
rickson, of 513 Bayard avenue, Will
mington, occurred at the Whining
ton General Hospital Thursday eve
ming, June %. 1882, following an op-
Grafton for appendicitis. She was
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. E. W.
Windsor of Salisbury, Md, and was
SO years of age. Her funeral was
held from the home of her parents
and interment made in the Sails
bury NJ e. cemetery Sunday after
noon at two o'clock Her demise has
caused genuine and profound sor-
row among all who came within the
sphere of her angelic mission on
earth and in each saddened heart
her sweet memory will be reverent-
ly cherished. Her life was one that
beautifully exemplified the noblest
of true Christian woman
hood, a life of sacrificial devotion
and service to her loved ones. Her
was in contributing to
the happiness of others, and it is
little wonder that such a gentle
loving little soul should have been
so affectionately regarded by both
young and old of all who knew her..

but about 1 per cent less than
either 1929 or 1880. Present prospects
point to yield of crops not far from
the average of recent years.
"The general outlook at this time
is for sharply lower production of
feed wheat, beans and tobacco, a ma
terially increased production of feed
grains, a hay crop only slightly be-
low average, a moderately light crop
of fruits, potato crop about the
same as that of last year and a sup
ply of commercial vegetables below
that of last year chiefly because of
crops grown for canning.
"The greatest changes in acreage
are shown by some leading crops
grown for sale. The tobacco acreage
has been reduced 20 per cent, beans
Il per cent, rice 13 per cent. and
cotton, as previously reported, 9.5
per cent, leaving the acreages of
each of these crops the smallest in
nine years or more"

While the percentage of injuries from

juries received in drops from high

relatively few. Much Skater are the
hazards from skiddh1 rugs, slippery
floors, unsafe stairs and shaky ladders,
recent statistics show. More than one
fourth OF the injuries received in the

from edged tools are frequent. Bites by

SHAREHOLDERS ARE INCREASED
BY SPLIT-UPS IN STOCK ISSUES

Sanitary, General Electric, Anaconda
Copper, Kennecott Copper and Mont
gomery Ward. General Motors made
its change somewhat earlier than the
others, as did Nash Motors.
There were similar reductions in the
par values of public utility stocks, but
this phase of financing was not so
active with them as in the industrialS.
With the railroads it was rather eXcep-
tional and limited to two important
carriers, namely, Chesapeake & Ohio
and Canadian Pacific both of which
reduced their par values from 500 a
share to S25 share. The movement
gained considerable headWay among
which had for years held to a uniform
par value Of 500 a share. In the cam
paign to make a wider distribution of
their stock ownership they reduced their
par either to S25 or t0 $40 a share.
There is now some agitation among
them for a return to the original capi-
tai status.
When present low-priced stocks,
therefore, are adjusted TO the old par
arCunts and consideration is given not
only to the changes made Just prior TO
the beginning Of the panic but in
earlier years, it is found that some of
NA-C4AL alC oN444 oC4A444S az PA It's L+4cG h6Ie
relatively high 10 years ago Perhaps
1t is fairer, however. to take the per-
Centage of depreciation between the
maximum quotations of 1929 and the
present minimum levels as a basis of
an adjustment from an overvalued
status to one that measures present
earning power and present incoIe re-
turn. The point is that the high pro-
portion of extremely priced shares
TO the total listed is not altogether Cue
TO defiatiOn. but to the decentralization
policy precedent to the beginning of
the decline.
Increase In Shareholders.
There is no doubt that the steady
and substantial increase in the number
OF corporation shareholders during 1880
and 1881 has been brought about by
the ability of the small investor to pur-
chase five or ten shares of a Company,s
stock for the same amount CT money
that one or two shares would have cost
had the old par values been main
ta1ned. A case in point is General Elec-
tric, which in May 1926, offered share
holders an exchange of four shares of
no par stock for each share of S100 par
STOCK, and in January. 1880, made a
second similar offer 1t is obvious that
more people are attracted to the stock
today al $50 share market value than
there would have been were it selling
on the 1925 par basis which would
make the current quotation $3.50
share.
