around SIS. Foote Minerals
stock sold at $50 in 1857 and
now sells around $40 per share.
I have faith in this company.
Mining Companies
One of the most interesting
mining stocks is that of the q. S.
Smelling. Refining. Mining Co.
This sold at over $50 per share
in 1916 and again in 1852. It
has sold at $40 or lower since
1857. New Jersery Zinc sold at
over $50 per share in 1851 but
now sells for less than half this.
Island Creek Coal sold at over
$50 per share in 1856 and now
sells for about one half this. Hud-
son Bay Mining & Smelling sold
around 500 in 1856; now sells
for SIS. Consolidated Mining e.
Smelling showed a similar trend.
Most of the steel companies are
doing well: but the stock of the
Pittsburgh Steel Co.. which sold
above $35 in 1867 has recently
sold at $40.
Merchandising Stocks
Of all these Montgomery Ward
shows one of the widest fluctu-
alton. 1t sold at $50 per share in
1916: then declined to SIS in 49,
48, again hit a high Of over $50
per share in 1855 and 1859; but
is now again about $35. OF the
variety stores, S. S. Kresge Co.,
operating nearly 800 stores. sold
at $45 in 1850 and is now selling
around $50. Let me close by say
ing that the stock of the United
Fruit Co. sold above $40 in 1851;
is now about SIS.
In the above review I have
mentioned only about twenty
five or so of the one hundred
depressed stocks which Mr.. o.
son has selected. OF the remain
ing issues, there are many which
are probably more attractive
than those described above. An
investor should study all in order
to realize these two facts: %
Just because the Dow-Jones
Average has been going up al
most constantly during the past
ten years, this does not mean
that all stocks have been going
up in price. ~ There must be
some great bargains in the popu-
lar listed stocks which have
money-making possibilities for
those who will search for them.

misunderstanding executives have done
as much or more to upset racial rela-
tions in the South than any other
agency, except the NAACP and its ap-
paratus.
The zeal of leaders Of the Negro and
other races have made use of the frail-
ties of human emotions to upset rela-
tons, long established, in demand for
newly supposed rights. The alarming
consequences are the judicial methods
used to circumvent the Constitution and
to establish claw by the federal judi
ciary. This questionable procedure will
rise to damn the freedom of all men
under our government and sets pre-
cedent for establishment of judicial
oligarchy powerful enough to bring an
end to the greatest republic of free men
ever developed in the history of this
world. Nine men appointed for life
tenure by the executive branch of this
government, upon the recommendation
of the Justice Department and approval
by the legislative branch have more pow
er than any governmental body now
existing in the world Their decisions
are bounded by Constitution, which
they are now destroying. Recent de-
cisions have brought frightening reac-
tons to many who know law and history
much better than we do The future is
largely in their hands.

Fantastic Comics Come True

WHAT has become of Andy Gump,
" the celebrated funny paper" char
acter, and his Millionaire brother, Ben
jamin Gump? A Millionaire was beyond
the call of possibility to us years ago.
Possibly the Gumps became too COM
monplace, especially the Millionaire
brother. We received a shock recently
when we heard that antitrust laws re-
quired General Motors to divest its
stock structure of any Dupont owner
ship which would require the sale of
more than four billion dollars owned by
the Dupont family. There is now such
an animal as Millionaire, but back in
Andy Gump days it was fantacy
During World War H., Andy Gunlp
was working on rocket which would
follow a warplane, regardless of where
it went, and make strike. 1t looked
foolish at the time, but the fantastic has
come into reality.
Many persons who were awed by
Flash Gordon and his ray gun, which
could melt anything in its path, may
be more amazed upon learning that
such a gun is under development. The
possibility of such a gun was disclosed
by recent demonstrations of the Laser"
which is a very small device that has
opened up a vast array of potential
uses for light beams.
Demonstrations have been carried on
nv a number of cOmpanieS who are now
in the experimental stages with the

Tit-For-Tat

SUSTAINED criticism was heaped on
- the Citizens Councils of Mississippi
which furnished one-way ticket to
New York for Negro family with eight
children. The liberals were severe in
their denunciation of NJ is S S ippi,
threatening to return the family The
Citizens Councils answered with a
standing offer to send others even a
trainload. 1t may be considered a tit
for-tat move in retaliation for the
Freedom Riders" from the North who
have invaded the South with the ex-
pressed purpose to upset the tranquil
ty and race relations of Southern towns
and cities. So far as publicity goes it
was a success
When freedom riders came South
there was no outcry from Northern
liberals. In fact, they encouraged and
appeared to enjoy the ill-considered
move The freedom riders broke State
laws, made themselves obnoxious, and
generally upset all racial relations
Incidents of this nature settle moth
ing, on the contrary they postpone the
day when people, both white and Negro,
will come to their better senses in ar
irving at solution of the present con-
dition which is splitting this nation in
to sectional hatreds at time when
unity is so much needed.

There are three exceptions to
refunds on gasoline purchased

to market or to pick up farm
supplies; gasoline used for pro-
cessing. packaging, freezing or
canning operations and gasoline
used for non-farming or per-
