HELP, PROMOTE BLUE SKY STOCK

Companies Send Free Shares to the Lawmakers, But It Doesn't Always Work. WASHINGTON. D. C. Aug. 2.1. The Jtltention of members of congress is heing attracted to what appears to ho new and ingenious scheme of blue sky stock promotion. Tho unsuspecting: solon picks up hia morning mail, observes an elongated letter with tho high-sounding name of a western mining company In tho upper left-hand corner and when he opens it his eyes fall on a very ornate share of mining stock, fully paid up, to whirh is attached a canceled Internal revenue stamp in apple pie order. This stock is the gift of the mining company to the solon. "Wonders Why It Came. The member of congress scratches his head and wonders what ho ever ha done to e-irn such unexpected largess from a concern that he never heard of before in his life. If he takes time to think it probably occurs to him that tho gift of the paid up share of stock is not prompt
