FILE CHARGE OVER RUMELY STOCK SALE

Clark, Childs & Co. Coraplain Against Banking Firm of Salomon & Co.

INVESTIGATION MADE

Report in Wall Street That Brokers Want Their Money Back.

NEW YORK, April 11. Clark, Childs and Co., members of the Stock Exchange, have made complaints to the governors of the exchange against the banking firm of William Salomon and Co. The charges are with regard 'to the purchase by Clark, Childs and Co., on the bankers' representations, of a block of the common stock of the M. Rumely Company. The drop In the price of this stock from 101 last November to 34 recently has aroused criticism of its flotation. William Salomon and Co., were the leaders in the syndicate for the stock in its flotation. A report was broadcast in the financial district yesterday that Clark, Childs and Co., had made demand upon the Salomon firm to take back the stock it had purchased at the original price. J. F. A. Clark refused to say anything about it The board of governors has turned the complaint over to a committee for Investigation. The Rumely stocks have come in for a good deal of comment ever since their listing on the exchange. At the time of their appearance the so-called "new industrials" were selling at high prices. Since then there has been a collapse in these prices, with Rumely a leader in the decline. Rumely preferred was listed in May, 1912, and the common in November. At the time of the listing of the common it was selling at 101, a figure which it has never reached since then and its decline has been steady until it sold recently as low as 34 M. Rumely Company is a concern manufacturing farm implements, threshing machines and tractors. During the year it took over and amalgamated several old established companies. The yearly report of the company puzzled experts in Wall Street and many authorities disagreed on just what the earnings of the company were. The common stock of the company is known as a 6 per cent stock, yet the total surplus of the company for the year 1912 after the" payment of the preferred dividend and charges was less than the requirement for a common stock at 6 per cent.

Resinol Cured Awful Pimples Whole Face Covered, Now Clear. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 9., 1912. "I was troubled with two or three pimples coming out on my chin. In a week or so my whole face was covered with them. Friends advised me to use different lotions and salves. I tried them, but they did me little good, if any. I finally washed the pimples with Resinol Soap and applied Resinol Ointment before going to bed. In the morning I found the swelling going flown, and the inflammation goue from the pimples. I tried this treatment for about a week, and found that most of the pimples had disappeared. I kept the treatment up for about a month, and then my face was clear of all pimples. I have used Resinol Soap since, and find that the pimples do not come back." (Signed) Walter A. Stenstrum, 54 Willoughby Ave. Nothing we can say of Resinol equals what others, such as Mr. Stenatrum, say of it. If you are suffering from Itching, burning skin troubles, pimples, blackheads, dandruff, chapped face and hands, ulcers, boils, stubborn sores, or piles, it will cost you nothing to try Resinol Ointment, and Resinol Soap. Just send to Dept. 15-T, Resinol, Baltimore, Md., for a free sample of each. Every druggist sells Resinol. ( Advertisement

Why One Farmer Succeeds Where Another Fails

. (BY ISAAC L. TOTEN.) I met the editor of a country newspaper the other day and he asked me to walk out with him to see his farm.. The farm consists of 240 acres and it is only a mile and a half from town. His principal object in going out to the farm on the day that I accompanied him was to see if the water had receded that had overflowed from the river onto his land during the high water period a short time ago. We found the land practically free from the water and the tile drains, of which there were many, working to full capacity. One of the first things that attracted my attention when at the farm was the difference in the corn stubble in two fields that joined and were of the same soil consistency. "There must have been quite a difference in the corn crop in these two fields," I remarked. "Yes," he said, "this field where the corn stubble is heavy produced 66 bushels to the acre, while the other field produced only 45 bushels per acre." "What is your explanation for this," was my next question. "It was in the way the corn was handled," he replied and then went on to explain that the corn aelds had been put out by different men. A man by the name of Harden had raised the 66 bushel crop, and he was a car ful farmer. He had selected his seed with care, he had prepared the soil in a painstaking manner, he had planted the corn with a planter that was working right, because he had made it a point to SCO that it was: he had fertilized the corn; and he had cultivated it carefully. The man who had raised the 45 bushel crop had paid little attention to the selecting of his seed. He had picked it out of the corn in the crib when he got ready to plant. In plowing the field he had done the job in a hurry-up way and it was not worked down hardly at all. "I saw how he was going about his work," said the editor, "and called his attention to the fact that I would not stand for that kind of work. He said he guessed he knew how to farm better than an editor; because he had farmed all his life. He didn't believe in all this torn foolery about testing seed corn and all those other newfangled ideas that Harden followed." The result was that when his corn came up he had only about two-thirds of a stand. Of course, he replanted, which made considerable more work for him. Even though he had done very little work to get the ground in shape, he had to make up for it in additional work afterwards.

After the corn came up he plowed it the way "father" always plowed his corn. Didn't care how it was done just so b got it done. Thre was no other reason why that eld should not have been just as good as the other one only that it was not given the same careful attention. The soil in both fields was identical in crop producing properties, and both were thoroughly drained, and both

were fertilized. Some of the corn was still in the field in piles beneath bunches of corn fodder. The high water had washed some of the fodder away and the corn lay there half submerged in the mud. I suppose that fellow is complaining about hard times, and is wondering why he has not made enough to pay his bills. It is safe to say that the slipshod farmer he is not worthy the name of farmer will not put out a crop on the editor's farm this year. As a rule farmers do not like to take advice from any one who is not actively engaged in farming; but there are a lot of men that never turned a furrow in their lives who could farm better than some of the farmers are doing today, because they have learned the value of care and attention to details. We would laugh at the - idea of learning anything about farming from a chinaman; but a chinaman will feed six people off an acre of ground while the American farmer does not feed that many people off of ten acres. As the woman said about Roosevelt's theory of large families, "It isn't quantity but quality that counts." So it is in farming. It is far better to farm one acre rich than a hundred acres poor. I know of a farmer who has only ten acres of land who is making more clear money than many who are farming eight acreB. A little figuring will show the difference in the earnings of the two men mentioned above on the editor's farm. The fields consisted of twenty acres each. Sixty-six bushels per acre on twenty acres means 1820 bushels. Placing the value of corn at fifty cents a bushel the crop from this field would bring $660. Forty-five bushels per acre on twenty acres would mean 900 bushels. At fifty cents a bushel the crop would amount to $450. This means that one of the men received $210 more from farming twenty acres of land than the other one did, and we all know that this amount of money is not easily picked up. Careful attention to details, and do ing things right and In a careful man ner not only pays in farming, but ii

pays in all other kinds of business as welL We often say that one man is luckier than another, but nine eases out of ten the difference la the prosperity of individuals depends upon their application of certain methods.

NUMBER OF WORKING MEN TO SECURE LOTS

Many working men of this city have expressed the desire to the directors of the Hawkins Lake and Park project to purchase lots along the lake front for the purpose of erecting cottages. The plat will be open in June. Contrary to the first estimates of Engineer Mueller a sto the backing up of the water and the formation of the water line, the water will not be deep enough for conveying to New Paris unless another dam east of the proposed structure is constructed. This

j will not be done, it is believed. I An expert engineer will arrive in this city soon as authorized to do so by the authorities. The expense of

having the engineer come to this city may be divided among these who are interested in the matter.
