Elusive Investments.

We believe that we are violating no
confidence in making the statement
that residents of Amherst have lost
many thousands of dollars IN recent
wears by investing their money IN
mortgages on western real estate. Inc
inducement to invest in these securi-
ties {? was rate of interest that
seemed large in comparison with rates
prevalent at the east, and belief In
the honesty OF the agents who dealt In
them. 1t is pretty we'll established
rule in the financial world that the
higher the rate of interest paid by an
investment the greater is the risk OF
losing the money invested. This rule
has proved true in the case under con-
sideration. In many cases no, interest
at all has been received, tax bills have
accumulated, and it has been found
necessary to sell the property involved,
at a considerable expense, under mort
gage foreclosure. Many Amherst peo-
pie have in this way secured titles TO
lands in Kansas, Nebraska and other
eastern states which they do not hold
at "a very high figure. We think these
facts carry with them their own moral.
Any one who is in hurry to acquire
wealth must risk losses, and those who
invest IN property of which they know
nothing, because some friend. who
knows little more, advises them to do
so are taking their chances and the
chances are against them. 1t is better
to invest money at home in something
of which one has some knowledge.
