THE BEATEN PATH
The beaten paths of life seem dull and prosy at
times.
JiThe by-paths, because untroden, are alluring.
The beaten path for Saving Money is a SAVINGS
ACCOUNT. It is sure. It is certain. It is safe.
Thousands upon thousands have followed it and reach
ed SUCCESS AND INDEPENDENCE.
The by-path of "speculation", "rubber-plantation
stock", "oil-well stock" and "something-tor-nothing"
scheme always lead to FAILURE.

WHO ARE THE PATRIOTS &
BEHIND THE WAR TRUST
Congressman Clyde H. Taven
ner offered the following amend
ment for the purchase of armor
plate for the navy:
"Provided, That the Secretary
of the Navy shall not consider!
any bid for the supplying of the
armor or ar.nment herein provid
ed for unless such bid is accom
panied by a sworn list of stock
holders and bondholders to be
taken from the books of said cor
poration as of date of July 1, 1914
And it is further provided, That
such list of stockholders and
bondholders shall be transmitted
to Congress in a separate report
by the Secretary of the Navy."
This amendment went to its
grave on a point of order mad* by
11.) ehairmaa of tin Naval Atfair*
Committee.
My purpose in offering the
amendment was to ascertain the
names of the shareholders of tlfe
war trust, the names of the men
who profit from the manufacture
of war munitions by private con
struction. Those who are advo
cating the taking of profit out of
war and preparation for war by
having all Army and Navy equip
ment manufactured in Govern
ment plants can make a more in
telligent fight if they know exact
ly who they are fighting. Until
the identity of the stockholders
of the war trust can be establish
ed, it might, perhaps, even though
unpleasant, be logical to assume
that those patriots who cry out in
anguish every time the Govern
ment manufacture of war muni
tions is mentioned have been
struck in the region of the pocket
book, an exceedingly tender part
of the anatomy.
Comparisons are odious, but in
1909 the Investors' Review of
London examined the stockhold-'
ers' lists of several British war
trafficking concerns and it found
in the list of one company alone
(Armstrong, Whitworth) the
names of:
Sixty noblemen, their wives,
sons or daughters.
Fifteen baronets.
Twenty knights.
Eight members of Parliament.
Twenty military and navy offi
cers.
Eight journalists.
Later lists revealed a marked
connection between stock holding
in armor and munitions compa
nies and active membership of
"purely patriotic" organizations,
such as the British Navy League.
In this eountry it is impossible
to obtain lists of the stockholders
the war-trading concerns. The
Stanley Stell investigating com
mittee was unable to obtain them,
and when I applied to our Federal
Bureau of Corporations I found it
did not possess them, and that
there was some question as to
whether the Bureau had the au
thority to attempt to obtain them.
Why not permit the public to
know the identity of the patriots
behind the War Trust?
MIUC IN PINT BOTTLES
In surveys made by the De
partment of Agriculture figures
were obtained -pn the relative
number of quart and pint milk
bottles handled by dealers in fivq
cities. It takes considerably long*"
er to wash and fill two pint bot
tles than one quart bottle, and it
costs nearly as much to deliver a.
pint as a quart. Many dealers

Molloy's
shoulagoto
say they are making .no money on
milk handled in pints, and some
even claim that they are handling
it at a loss. One dealer, who han
dles quarts only, says: "It would
take the profit from one quart of
milk to make up for the. loss on
one pint," therefore he does not
see where handling it in pints
would increase his sales. Yet the
figures obtained as a result of the
survey show that a surprisingly
large number of pints are handled
by some dealers.
Besides the extra cost of hand
ling the milk in pint bottles is the
extra expense of replacing lost
bottles. The life of a pint bottle is
generally given as somewhat
shorter than that of a quart bot
tle, This is no doubt owing to
the fact that a large number of
pints are handled by stores. On
account of its convenient size
there is also more temptation for
customers to appropriate a pint
bottle for preserving vegetables
or fruits, or for any other pur
pose. Although in .most places
this is contrary to law, yet is of
ten done without any feeling of
guilt on the part of the house
wife.
It is necessary to use small
bottles for some kinds of trade,
as in the hotel or restaurant
tiade, where the guests are served
milk in the bottle, but the cost of
delivery and the loss of bottles in
this trade are usually small.
