Buch- anan. » " The sentiment of Norwallt’s lead- .lng citizens clearly indicated the wish of the majority of our taxpay- are that Buchanan be retained. The Common Council even went so far as to pass a resolution recom- mending such action. The selfleonstltuted committee of ‘business and professional men. which grew spontaneously out of the recent testimonial dinner to the retiring Superintendent, pleaded his cause eloquently before the School Board. but the latter body had very evi- dently arrived at a fixed policy in . regard to Buchanan which no argu- ments could char-go. Mr. Buchanan at least has this . great consolation. He knows he is ' leaving the school system here with _thc affectionate regard and appre- , elation of the majority of his teach- ing staff. his thousands of past and present students and the parents and taxpayers. He has with him the nsciousness of a job well done, of ' as the school system on a solid undation. than which there can be .no more lasting or enduring reward. Judge John H.

Who’s Who , ORVILLE WRIGHT. The recent determination of Or- ville \Vright. pioneer American avi- ator. to give the first Wright plane to Great Britain for historical pur- poses instead of turning it over to an American institution has arous- ed much discussion. \Vright ex- plains his action by stating that he fears his original plane would not be preserved with safety in any American museum. no asserts that the original Langley plane was al- tered by museum calcials to suit their ideas. Orville and his brother. Wilbur. now dead. made their first flight at Kitty Hawk. N. 0.. Dec. 17. 1903. The flight was 0: sutliclent duration to prove that heavier than air ma- chines were possible. Alone in Field Ebr Years. The \Vrights flew in 1904 and again in 1905 but it was not until 1908 that their machine became known by the public. then. sudden- ly many other people learned to] fly. Orville Wright was born in Day- ton. 0.. Aug. 19, 1871. and attended the Dayton public schools. He re- ceived an honorary M. S. from Earl- ham College, Indi: the degree of Dr. Technical Science from the Royal Technical Colege of Munich. the de- gree 0: LL. D. from Oberlin; the degree of Se. D. from Trinity and an M. A. from Yale University. For years \Vright was engaged in the bicycle business in Dayton with his brother. the late Wilbur \Vright. It is not conceded that the bicycle business had anything to do with the flying machine invention. Here- thlng to do with the Wrights' in- ventive .gcniue. Many years ago Bishop Wright. the father. invented a typewriter. though he did not perfect it. and he worked over other inventions. An older brother. Lorin Wright. also made. patented. and sold an improved hnyopress. The adage "A prophet is not without honor. save in his own country and in his. own house" ap- plies no less to the Wright broth— The town. which in 1909 voted 820.- 000 to celebrate the Wrights return worldmroclaimed inventors of the flying-machine. . had emphatically refused five years previously to go eight miles to see them fly. In um only six people witnessed the first night at Kitty Hawk. N.

Perhaps some‘idea of the magni- tude of the estate will be gained from the story of making the lawns. as told by one old resident.

"Then. too. the making and grading of the place—l don't know why it was done. but I remember as a very young man seeing hundreds of men. barefoot. in the grounds.

"At any rate. he was a good man for Not-walk. and always boosted the town.

Something which many inexperi- enced investors have difficulty in understanding is the meaning of "rights.” whla are. front time to time. extended‘to stockholders. gan- orally. but not elven to one owners at the common sharia. "Ordinarily. these rights allow noekhoidere the privilege of subscribing to additional issues of securities. sometimes bonds but more often stocks. at aprice be- low the market. .‘N’ot all corporations are in a posi- tion to do financing by additional is- sues of common steels. it is gener- ally considered a sign of prosperity when new capital can be secured by selling stock instead of Will funded indebtedness. It has come to be the custom also when a cor- poration finds this course open to it that it extends the oppononlty of taking the new shares first to its own stockholders. This is on the theory that inasmuch as stockholders take all the risks ot,owuerehlp they are entitled to whatever‘additionai bene- iits the progress at the business may make po-ible. . Conditions under which these rights are extended vary in (lifter- cnt cases. ‘As a rule stockholders are entitled to buy new sham in a deilnite proportion to their existing holdings. Each share of stock is en- titled 'to one right. It may take on. ten. or more rights to guy one share of new stock. And here is the point which is so often misunderstood. if a stockholder does not wish to in- crease his holdings. he may sell his rights in the market. There ‘. no need of his throwing away these vai- noble privileges.‘ Therm beturn. ed into cash.
