HENRY FORD'S
CHIEF AIM
A. and M. Students
Hear of Manufac-
turer's Hobby
GALVESTON TO HAVE
COMMUNITY CHEST
(Pont-Dinpatrh Special.)
COLLEGE STATION. Oct. 31.—
The utrunirst cluraderntip in thp
buttitiffMH life of Henry Ford is a
penchant for converting waste into
<»»cr, an«l tiim hobby if not in cnak-
UK 1
Would indicate, but in avoirling waste
p«wer,
nig ca
rn as hi* enormous production
In the production of great power
Thin was the terse comment upon the
'ftmous autoiuobile manufacturer made
by I,. 1», Koyer. first assistant to the
chief engineer of the Ford industries
and lormer student of the A. and M.
•■ollege of Texas in addressing the en-
gineering xtudentN of the college Fri-
day evening. And in the relation of
nuiperotiit incidents in his work under
the direction of the Detroit iiuto-
mobib magnate Mr. Itoyer substan-
tiate! hi- insertion which para-
mounted Mr. Ford's proclivity for
waste elimination above his well
| known propensity for building auto-
mobiles.
In purchasing coal mines in K*n-
tuck.v recently. Mr. Royer said. Mr.
Ford found on the property an im-
mense pile of mixed coal and slate
wh ch had been thrown nway as waste
unfit for fuel. It had been taken out
of a section of the mine where the
• late was laminated in successive sec-
tions with coal and piled up through
the years as an abominable product.
Hut immediately after seeing tnis vae*
pile Mr. Ford summoned Mr. Rover
and assigned him the task of finding
some means of utilizing the waste for
fuel. On questioning the mine super-
intendent. Mr. Royer said he found
that it cost 10 cents a ton to remove
the cheap mixture of slate and coal
from the mine. After a study of the
problem further lie found that by
grinding the mixture into fine particles
he could burn if in the furnace and
then made the proposition to the mine
Miperintendent that if he would allow
the 10 cent* a ton charge to remain
against the production department
and accrue to the power department
that he would utilize it as fuel. This
in now being done ind the power de
parttnenf is therefore being paid 10
cents a ton to use the fuel necessary
for its operation instead of having
to pay a much larger price for first
class coal, the mountain of waste is
being eliminated and Mr. Ford's desire
is being fulfilled.
Mr. Rov< r related another instance
where he was called upon to devise a
plan for using as fuel in the furnaces
of the River Rouge plant a great sup-
ply of waste tar product. The w^ste
nad been gradually accumulated in
buife storage tanks by special order
of Mr. Ford, who disregarded the ad-
vice of other officials that it was of
no practical value. To tell Mr. Ford
that a thing can not be done after he
ha« outlined the prohletp is a certain
trs? of securing a peremptory commis-
sion to do that very thing. Mr. Royer
declared.
Mr. Ford is being forced to in-
crease the ramifications of his busi-
ness to lines of manufacture and pro-
duction of primary materials in self-
preservation of his automobile busi-
ness. Mr. Royer said. Other great
corporations are forcing him to ac-
quire new business enterprises, such
as gla'-s factories, artificial leather
factories and woodworking plants by
tlirpntening him with a depleted sup-
olv While at the A. and M. college
Mr. Royer conferred with several offi
cinls of the research agricultural di-
vision with reference to the produc-
tion of flax and its manufacture into
linen. He is seeking information to
■i«sist him in devising a process for
ftie manufacture of the flax which will
do for that commodity in a trade way
"hat the gin has done for cotton.
Tlrs is one of his latest commissions
from Mr. Ford. It is in anticipation
•■f great activity soon in the produc-
tion of linen by the Ford company.

Clean-Up Campaign
(Post-Dispatch Special.)

ful about the dumping of ashes con-
taining live coals.

leaves and other inflammable rubbjsh
constitutes an unnecessary fire haz-
ard.

Who owns theSantafe?
More than 67,000 stockholders own this great
railway. Several thousand live in the states it traverses.
All have voice in its management/
Every Southwest investor should buy a share in the Santa Fe and
thus get a valuable interest in an institution that helps build up
that section. Let it be Yours, in ownership as well as in service.
The Santa Fe operates in thirteen states and
in these states there reside 7,635 of its stock-
holders. While this is almost the largest num-
ber on record, it is slightly below the year be-
fore. We should be very glad to see those
residing along the Santa Fe Lines become
much more generally interested in its stock,
although both the common and preferred
shares give a smaller return than many other
investments promise. The high price is a de-
served tribute to the property. Every investor
in the Southwest might well buy one or
more shares in the Santa Fe.
At the beginning of this year, the owner-
ship of the Santa Fe was divided among
67,118 stockholders with an average of 53.1
shares apiece. Twelve months before there
were 64,643 stockholders, averaging 55.4
shares apiece. The number of stockholders
has increased steadily for many years and the
average holdings decreased, resulting in an
ever-widening distribution of ownership.
Among the stockholders are found:
Women 30,370
Men ...30,931
Fiduciaries
Insurance Companies
Religious Organizations
Hospitals and Charitable Institutions
Educational and Scientific Institutions

Since the organization of the present com-
pany in 1895 it has not failed in any year to
earn its "full interest, nor since dividends
have been declared to earn them in full.
The Preferred Stock dividends are limited to
5%. The first payment was made in 1898
at 1% and in 1900 full payments of 5% were
begun and have been maintained for the en-
suing 25 years without interruption. Common
dividends were begun in 1901 at 3%% and
have been maintained steadily since that
date with gradual increases, 6% having been
paid since 1909.
«
For the railroads, as a whole, the records
of the Interstate Commerce Commission show
that at the close of 1923 there were 807,524
stockholders, or 30,392 more than the pre-
ceding year. The average dividends on the out-
standing stock amounted to $4.03 per share.
