EXCEEDS FORMER RECORD Payments for 1913 More Than Double That of 1912, When Over $51,000, 600 Was Paid to Stockholders—Dis- bursements Greater Than Those of the Billion-Dollar Steel Corporation. New York, Nov. 21.—Recenc iarge dividend declarations by former sub- sidiaries of the Standard Oil com- »any of New Jersey again draw at- tention to the prosperity of this &roup of companies. Cash dividends declared so far this year by Standard 0il concerns have amounted to more than $111,000,000, equivalent to more than 111 per cent on the capitaliza- tion of the former parent corpora- tion. This compares with 40 per cent Paid by the New Jersey company for half a dozen years previous to the disintegration. As several companies have still to declare their final dividends for the year the total payments for 1913 will exceed the $111,000,000 mark by a considerable margin. i Disbursements to Standard Oil shareholders this year exceed the United States Steel corporation’s an- nval dividends by something like $€0,000,000 and are from $30,000,000 to $35,000,000 in excess of the Steel corporation’s annual interest and div- 1dend payments combined. ‘'his does not include numerous' ‘stock divi- dends distributed this year.

LEL iy ON SAME BASIS AS MEN lilinois Women to Serve as Election Judges and Clerks. Chicago, Nov. -21.—Only the ques- tion of their ability to endure the strain of the work on election and rrimary days is said to stand in the way of the appointment of women voters as judges and clerks of elec- tions in this city. ' The women may be permitted to decide the question for themselves. County Judge Owens, who under the law must determine the question finally, is said to hold that women are placed on the same basis with men at polling places under the pro- visions of the equal suffrage act pass- ed by the last general assembly. Judge Owens has asked the advice of the principal women’s organiza- tions of the city, both political and social, and will meet their represen- tatives next Monday.

Mail Orders Promptly Filled That's one 6f the reasons for having a Thanksgiving Day, a harvest feast, a general oathermg of families and frlends, a season of festivity. We have a good deal to be thankful for in our business; we have ‘done well in it—as well, we hope, for our customers, as for ourselves. That’s the idea of this business; to make every transaction profitable for you as much as for us. When we sell a man_one of our Hart. Schaffner & Marx sui’ts or overcoats, for example, we know that our customer is getting big value for his money; more other clothes will give him; better style, better quality in all-wool fabrics, better value than any tailoring, better service in wear, than he can find in any other way, or ‘m any other store. We mean eo have that true of everything else we sell, from the smallest to the largest thing. The suits and ovepcoats we sell at $25 are the best: examples of thig value-giving we have ever known. The man 'who gets one of those suits or overcoats, gets more for his $25 than ' he'll ever get for the same money anywhere in clothes. We have others from $18 to $35 This store is the home of Hart Schaffner & Marx clothes | | BEMIDJI, MINN. &3res. Co. Res. Phons 68 1818 A "Otrice Phone’ mum Are .
