THE BEST INVESTMENT.

Land is the only permanent
property. II you want a safe IN
yestment buy land.
Stocks and bonds may melt
away like water-whiCh they pos
sibIy are. Money in your pocket
dribbIes out through a hundred
holes. Jewels are lost, Shrunk in
value by clever limitations. And
as for savings in the stock or the
bank-it is Of little avail to hoard
up money when, yef by year,
more and more value is squeezed
out Of the dollar.
Money goes down as prices 90
up, The gold mines Of the world
are pouring their billions into the
mints by scores Of millions a year.
More money means cheaper mon
cy, Just as more potatoes mean
cheaper potatoes. Your boarded
dollar shrinks IN purchasing pow
cr even while you look at tit
buys less and less Of the things Of
real value for which men and
women toll.
Save your money, if you can
spare anything from the grleyous
expenses Of a decent livlihOOd; and
