Found-| ation of All Organized | Industry. nto Financial Post. » attack of Mr. Crarar on four individual industries linking them up| as combines which under the protec- | tion had made immense issues of] watered stock and millions of dol- | lars of profits through this or| through excessive prices--that 'the | consumer was forced to pay, came! as rather a surprise to those who so| Tor far found little in the Agrarian lead- | er's principles with which to dis-| agree. The few figures he gives may be allowed to pass without the! minor corrections they suggest; it is| | with his interpretations and his con- | {clusions rather that sharp issue] {must be taken. For these indicate | | either a serious lack of appreciation | jof the conditions that must under-| {lle investment in new enterprises in| | this, as in other countries, or a ten-| | dency to deny to investors a fair re- | [turn for the risk they tale in new| developments that falls little short! of the former Lenine-Trotsky atti- | tude towards capital that they ap- parently have been forced of late to! | eschew. { His attitude perhaps may best be illustrated in his reference to Ames, | Holden, McCready. Here two manu- facturing concerns were brought to- gether, "with a combined capital of | $3,500,000, for which they received $3,500,000 in bonds and preferred | | stock, and an additional $3,500,000 {in common stock. This latter Mr. | | Crerar designates as "water," signi- | | tying that there were no real assets! | to cover this; that it was a "bonus" | or "gift" in addition to an allow- {ance of 100 per cent. in bonds and | | preferred stock. He goes on to state {that this common stock that was] | worthless sold in 1913 at about $14 | | a share, while in 1920 {it sold _ at {$137.50 a share, eight years after | the merger was formed. "Would | that stock have got that value if the | company did not enjoy a tariff as| {high as 37 1-2 per cent? Who fur-| | nished the millions of dollars that | | went into that common stock? It] jas the common people 'of Canada, | |and the rich people who bought | shares from the Atlantic to the Pac- | ific." | L rr nite {common stock know full well, {mentions a "'value" of $137.50 tort | the stock. It had no such value. | © Had Mr. Crerar made a fair in- { quiry into the real facts he would | | have learned that that fancy figure | "of $137.50 was the product of an ad-| year. ! mitted manipulation, and that gen- secured to purchase two years' re- | uine offers of sale at that figure nev-| quirements of raw cotton at the low (er found a purchaser. Indeed the | manipulation of this stock to such a figure. may turn out to have been one of the causes of the failure of a stock brokerage firm, whose affairs are now before the courts, . What is the selling price of that | stock today? Around $14 a share, just where it was in 1913, eight years ago. Thus those "millions of dollars' of profit on "watered stock' furnished by the "common people of | Canada," must fade away from the | YEAST BEST WHEN TAKEN WITH IRON 'If Weak, Thin or Run- | down Try This Treat- ment in Tabet Form -- Watch the Quick Re- sults. Everyone has heard of the apparent wonders performed by yeast in re- storing thin, sickly, and run-down people to health. And now it is found that even more surprising re- sults are brought when yeast is taken with iron, the great blood-builder. People who for years were weak, pale, anaemic, and all run-down are regaining their strength and health almost as if by magic through this re- markably effective combination of tonics. And the best of it is that you can take it in pleasant tablet form--np need to eat yeast cakes, which are so disagreeable to many. The preparation im which these two great health builders have been combined is known as Ironized Yeast. This contains highly concentrated brewer's yeast, which is far more ef- fective than ordinary baker's yeast because it is richer in vitamines. Vita- mines, as we all know, is the myster- ious element which Science has found to be so absolutely essential to health. Due to modern methods of food pre- paration vitamines are lacking in most of our commonest foods----and that is why so many of us become | sickly and run-down. If you are suffering from loss of strength, if you frequently become exhausted, if your food Las no taste for. you, or if you are irritable, thin, pale, nervous, or generally run-down, then try this remarkable new tonic. Ironized Yeast will in most cases bring a decided improvement within three days. It-will usually clear up sallow or muddy complexions within ten days, From everywhere come en- thusiastic reports of what It is doing for people. It is packed in patented Sani-tape packages and will keep indefinitely. Its cost is no more per dose than ccmmon yeast. Each package con- tains 10 days' treatment and costs only $1.00--or just 10c. a day. Spe- cial di ions for children in each package. Made by the Ironized Yeast Company, Atlanta, Ga. . RONIZED VE .

The largest of all, the Domin- | ion Cotton Mills Company, was prac- | tically bankrupt. The Colonial | Bleaching had never paid a dividend | on its capital stock; nor! had the | Montmorency; the Merchants' Cot- ton Co. had not for years, nor the | Dominion Cotton. On the road to! bankruptcy these mills sere bought at a discount, naturally; the Domin- lon for 25 per cent. of bonds and 25 | per cent. of preferred; the Mer-| chants for 18 1-2 per cent. of pre- | ferred, and 66 2-3 per cent. in bonds; the Montmoreney for 20 per! cent. and 100 per cent. bonds; and | the Colonial for 66 2-3 per cent. pre-| ferred and 100 per cent. of bonds. | { i Provided Capital. | For a total capital stock of the! four mills of $5,833,600 there was | paig $3,370,600 in new bonds; bear- | ing 6 per cent.; and $1,440,400 in| preferred stock begring 7 per cent. and a further issue of $500,000 of! preferred was sold at a price close to | par, In addition iaderlying"/ bonds of two of the mills were as- | sumed, amounting to $4.122,500, each set carrying 6 per cent. inter- est. Besides this $500,000 more | cash was provided and in return | common stock was given. Perhaps | at thyt time the common stock was | worth $10 a share; perhaps it had | |no market value; the $500,000 paid | {in cash for it--for the chance there | was of dragging back from unsue- | cessful concerns and finally earning | {dividends on the common stock, was | chance. The long | won by able manage- | by developing these | powerful | won turning out $25,000,000 of products in a single year, That common stock grew in value, as the industry grew. Profits were thrown .back into the plant year by At the very outset funds were price of 7 cents per Ib; and the pro- fits on this purchase, as the market rose, gave a start to the struggling "merger." Today that common stock sells above pyr, and those who were patient enough and had faith enough to hold it for sixteen years, are receiving, not illegitimate, ill- gotten gains, from "pure water," but the legitimate reward capital de- mands for tying large sums of mon- ey up for years in an enterprise in which all might be sunk- ~"water" and all. ------ ee LEEDS FARMER NAMED He Will be the Progressive .

Kemp and family, Brighton, Were completely gutted by fire on Wednesday last. The cause of the fire is a mystery, but probably oz- curred from defective electric wiring, or a smouldering fire started by the stove pipe, where it passes through the cetling to the room above. Mr. Young was away at the time, and re- turned at 5 p.m. to find himself ana wife without a roof over their heads. The Kemps were also away; only Mrs. Young and her daughter, Mrs. Thompson, Alexandria Bay, were at home during the day. Mr. Young is a heavy loser; most of his books, his clothing, church vestments, collec- tions of birds and curios, gathered together during many years, are de- siroyed, as well as furniture and household utensils. The Kemps dia not lose as heavily, though their house was gutted. The houses will be rebuilt. Opens Practice in Kingston. Dr. C. K.
