Further, there are lots of opportu

big dividneds on your money withot
sending 1t away. Money can alway
be lent for per cent, and secured ;
that, and any concern that guarantee
more than the state'of Oregon legal
allows is taking some risks with you
money.
In fact the risk taken in business in
vestments is in the ratio of one success
to ten failures. Investigation wi
show that.th are very few stock

management, failures, freeze outs, al
play their parts. Its the inside agalns
the outside every time. Keep you
money at home. You don't need to II
vest in a few shares of stock to max
you rich; put the money in fertillze
if YOU are running an orchard al
you get more than II per cent. On
