To give it the unity of an omelet has long been the dream of many a Lutheran-a dream partly realized in 1918, when several Lutheran bodies were merged into the United Lutheran Church, largest (1,599,102 baptized members) in the land.

Twenty-three dividends are under ten cents and more than 100 are over $33.00. The smallest dividend cannot be less than three cents because 25 cents is the minimum purchase that dividends may be computed...

In 1885 Ezra and other owners of the Middle Western lines formed the Western Union Telegraph Company, on which company he served twenty years as a director, and of which for more than fifteen years he was the largest stockholder. Then, financially secure, he turned to public affairs and became trustee of the infantile State Agricultural College just founded at Ovid, N. Y.
