ONLY ONE SAFE INVESTMENT,

For nearly two years the world has been passing through a financial crisis, one of the worst ever eXper- fenced. There have been many con- tributins causes to the business ul- certainty, the principal one being the Balkan war and the fear that it would embroil all Europe. With that trouble settled business has still halt ed and the spectators of Wall street have been hard hit. No one can be found who will advance large sums of money to the Wall street gamblers As a consequence there has been an enormous shrinkage in the value of all sorts of securities in the way of stocks and bonds. Despite all the losses sustained in general business and in stocks and bonds the value of real estate has been steadily and surely advancing This shows that the safest and best investment is the ownership of realty. While the security mortgaged to obtain loans may be of such a kind that it's value depreciates, the value of real estate security is steadily increasing Those who have few dollars to put by every month could not find a better place to save their money than by making small payments on land. The small tract of land will be paid out in few short years and then the owner can feel independent. As railroad building has been suspended the land already served by railroads is daily becoming more valuable, consequent ly it will never be cheaper. On the other hand, it will advance in price faster than interest on loans will.- Woman's National Weekly.
