is one solo in all the world of musica
history that sets one's teeth on edge
when its highest note gets ali messed

either do take its tip-top note true anl

But not alone is the "Hero" song
The Chocolate Soldier" one that lives
and lingers and is beloved, but all of

memorable. They are heard less ire

Also they have no top note. In mua

glad that the "My Hero" song in "The

WEST ORANGE. N. J.. March 3.
Thomas Edison, at work in his labora

Charles W. Blackmore, and who was
found" dining with him in the cafe later
in Thirty-ninth street, Manhattan, was
Miss Helen Ida Cramp. She admitted
this recently. The letter she got was
igned "Tour Uncle Dudley."
Miss Cramp is not yet 20. Her family
lives in Harrisburg. Miss Cramp de
clares that Trustee Blackmore, who is
55 years old, married and a grandfather,
takes only a sort of fatherly interest in
her.
She talked frankly about the dinner
fire in one of the buildings of his great
plant here and summoned the firemen
in time to prevent what might have
been a serious loss. The fire practically
destroyed a building where the most
valuable phonograph records were
stored, but most of the' records, which
were in a concrete vault, were saved.
Mr. Edison, in his shirt sleeves, stood
outside directing the firemen for some
time before his wife and son, who ar
rived from the Edison residence, could
persuade him to put on an overcoat.
The inventor was soaked to the skin.
The building burned was the only one
not touched by the conflagration which
nearly wiped out the Edison plant last
December.
was Interrupted by the unexpected entry
of Principal Isaac G. Miller, or uutten
berg, and his daughter, a Barnard Col
lege student.
"It was simply an affair of business,"
she asserts. "I am alone here, 300
miles away from my relatives, and Mr.
Blackmore was good and kind to me.
I have been to his house and have met
his wife and family.
I accepted his invitation to dine with
him in the Cafe Laloy in New York
because that is near his place of em
ployment. No, he didn't buy me any
champagne, as some persons have in
sinuated. It was an ordinary little
table d'hote dinner and he talked about
school to me, and 1 can't tell why all
this fuss is being made."
Trustee Bartholomew Brackett,
friend of Principal Miller, obtained the
"Hello Girlie" letter from Miss Cramp
and read it to the board. He and the
principal Insisted that Blaekmorc re
sign. Blackmore offered to resign if
there would be no publicity. The other
trustees would not agree to that, so he
says he will get a lawyer nd resist
expulsion from ofHce. Mrs. Blackmore
is standing by him.

Why Am I Offered This
"Ground Floor" Opportunity
Instead of the Wealthy
Capitalist?
This question has been asked our representatives. There
are many reasons why it is better to have many small
investors instead of a few very large. We might say
here, however, that a few wealthy men are shareholders
with us. Also that there has never been any promotion
stock issued. Every share subscribed has been oris being
paid for. The capitalist has opportunity thrust upon
him. He is offered splendid propositions without number.''
Unfortunately many times he is presented with stock in
enterprises simply to secure his name upon the books. Just
the fact that he has money brings him money. That it tarkes
money to make money is the fundamental back of The
Oregon Home Builders. But it is far more satisfactory
to have a large number of shareholders than a few who
could control and manipulate stock. The greatest organi
"zations and the greatest successes in the world have been
built upon this basis. Some institutions have tens of
thousands of shareholders. 10,000 shares is all one person
"can own in this enterprise. That is only $3600 (at present'
price). It protects the small investor. This elimination
of Jhe control feature is not pleasing to the capitalist.
It makes him share both earnings and power with small
.investor. It isn't that The Oregon Home Builders does
not offer a safe investment and good return that keeps
the capitalist from crowding in. It is that he can use his ,
own money (and yours if you will loan it at small interest)
.and earn original profits without letting you in. It takes
volume, and by investing with us your money has as
large earning power as the largest capitalist. Investigate
our Home Building, Architectural, Plan, and other profit .
