THE NOVELTY REVUE NATION’S CARNIVAL
COMING NEXT WEEK
TO BE PRESENTED
A dog was crossing a brook with a bone in his
mouth. Looking into the stream he saw, as
he supposed, another dog with another bone.
Desiring to possess that also he made a snap
at it, when lo and behold! the bone he was
carrying dropped into the water and straight
way sunk to the bottom.— An Old Fable.
This dog “took a chance” (as some of us
humans sometimes do) and lost all he had.
Maybe you at some time have grasped at a
shadow in the form of a get-rich-quick
scheme that promised everything but be
came a total loss.
Anyone who wants to INVEST money
and not speculate or gamble with it can find
a safe working place for his savings in the
electric light and power business.
A large banking firm of New York and
Chicago, state that:
1 “A careful analysis of the dividend record* of prac
tically every electric power and light company with
gross earnings of $2,000,000 per year or more, the
combined capitalization of which represents approx
imately 90% of the industry, shows that:
1. Current cash dividend* sre being paid on ALL
of the preferred stock*.
2. In NO case are there accumulated back divi
dends unpaid.
|
3. In fifteen cases dividends have been deferred,
but have subsequently been paid off in stock
orcash.

,
4. In all other cases the Preferred Stocks have un
(
broken dividend records.
We feel justified in believing that this remarkable
record definitely establishes the investment position

White Salmon Mail Service Oppose«]
The high cost of <>|M*ration of a
proiHMied star route, to carry mail
from Ilood River to White Salmon,
over the new Interstate bridge, will
prevenr such service, according to a
letter Just r«»ceived by W. 8. Bates,
of White Halmon. from the jmst «iffice
department at Washington, D. O.
"The reports submitted,” stated a
letter from the <le|«artment, ‘ indicated
that the lowest rate at which the
route could l«e o^rat«1«!. even on a
temporary bawls, would la1 between
Jftttft and ?l»5d per , annum. The dis
tance travel«1«! by the rout«1 would l«>
only thr«>e miles, and while It is un-
derstood that -a considerable portion
of the expense would be by reason
of toll charges. It 1« believed Hint the
lienefita which would I«1 derived would
pot warrant the department in Incur
ring the exis'iise of maintaining the
route. Jt Is therefore deemed inad
visable to tnke further action looking
to th«1 establishment of the service.”
'Saturday, February 28, at 8 p. m.,
at the high school auditorium the
Ladles' Aid of the M. E. church, uu-
der the management of Mrs. A. W.
Beckley, will give one of the moat
