MacMillan, chairman of the banquet committee, informs us that he received a communication from Senator Steele, of Northumberland, stating that the latter will be in attendance at the banquet it it be possible.

The High School Orchestra will furnish the music during the repast, and several other musical numbers will be featured.

Nearly all of the cards have been returned in answer to the invitations, and the indications are that a large number of onl of-town guests will be present. Reports of the slogan, good roads, membership and advertising committees will be given at the banquet, which will assume the proportions of an executive meeting while the business of the evening is being discussed.

First stock Sinc. 1924 Last spring the company discon tinned the sa.le of its preferred stocl as its financial requirements at tha' time were such as to make furthei sale unnecessary. It is now again ir position which makes available foi sale a limited number of shares preferred stock.

The public has become so well ac quainted with the merits of this high grade security that this new Issut should be rapidly subscribed for. Although the company has now over 15,000 local stockholders and" also several thousand subscribers tc stock on the easy payment plan, it desires to increase this number, be lieving that the people who use itf services should be the ones to receive the dividends which the company pays every three months to preferred stockholders. Consequently, the company is encouraging everybody in tlu territory it serves to become a part owner of this large, rapidly growing electric power and light company. The securities of power and light companies are today the favorites the careful investor, because the investing public has come to appreciatt the fact that they are the securities an industry well established, supplying necessities of every-day life, financed strictly on an investment and not a speculative basis, and operating under laws which afford reasonable assurance of protection.

It is interesting ro note that dividends have always been paid on the company preferred stock, every three months, January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, in good times and in bad times, ever since the first shares were issued over four years ago. That is one of the reasons why those who know securities rank this as a first-class investment. The price will remain unchanged $100 and accrued dividend per share. this price the stock pays 7 per cent on each dollar invested. The news while it is news in The News.
