CHARACTER RATHER THAN Cash

A fact that IL observable in every
day business life aud one that the
young man Just starting out I'm his
career should take serious account OF
is that II is the character OF the man
back OF n promise TO pay rather than
the present or prospective size OF his
pocketbook or bank account that makes
his word and his note good and enables
him to borrow money In time OF need
To put IL another way, Il Is ones dis
position rather than ones ability to
pay that is the largely determining
factor In the fixing OF his financial re
sponslbility. In the way OF illustrating
the above truth there come TO mind
two men, representative OF types that
are TO be found In almost any com
munlty. The one who draws salary
OF $50 month is careless In his money

financial transaction. This practice.
persisted I'm for years. has become n
matter OF habit and character, and to-
day he Justly deserves the title OF

other man, representative OF the oppo-
site type. though receiving but little
more than half the salary OF the first
and having considerably larger legiti-
mate family expenditures. though often
pinched financially, has been scrupu-
lously careful TO meet all obligations
which he has contracted. The result
Is that today his word il rs good ms
his note. and any one having money 10
lend let's him have II without asking
any questions. 1t Is n matter OF con
graduation that there are so many of
this honest type and 80 comparative.

When one is thinking OF putting
money into this or that enterprise it Is
always well to view with suspicion a
proposition of whatever description
which promises more than legitimate
return for the use of ones money. One
method that is often followed by the
worst type of grafters so as to make
investors I'm their games believe that
offers Of abnormal returns on the in
vestment are sincere Is to return to
them two or three large interest pay
ments-just enough TO increase the ap.
petite for speculation and cause them
TO put I'm still more. In reality these
payments are taken right out of the
first installment OF money sent I'm rath-
or than being the legitimate return Of
the investment OF such funds in a
money making enterprise. But the In
vestor finds, TO his sorrow, that suisse
quent returns are not forthcoming.
Even in such cases as the one Just
cited the abnormal interest return may
be safely taken as a danger signal.
The wise person will heed it and keep
his money where be can put his hands
