People Are Not
Investing

That is all the more reason why investments must
be exceptional to interest them. But capital is loosen
ing up in anticipation of the greatest boom this country
has ever known. 1t is, however, utterly useless to at
tempt to interest investors unless the investment re-
presents something absolutely sound, something excep-
tional, something of-big returns and guaranteed future.
1t must be something that will interest the speculator of
big profits and also something that appeals to the con-
sentative, hardened investor.
Such an investment has just been offered to the
public on tempting basis. Investors are offered the
opportunity to investigate this sound business invest
ment, where assured returns of from 100 per cent to
800 per cent are practically certain but where possibili-
ties are unlimited; a world enterprise founded upon a
staple business but branching out into a fabulously rich
field never before capitalized, where the profits are enor-
nous and where there is no competitions; an investment
r in a new industry monopolizing the richest field of the
p most lucrative business in the world. Think what this
Fl. means!
1t is practically certain that every investor originally
interested in this enterprise will get handsome returns
on their money regardless of the amount invested; re-
turns out of all comparison to dividends earned on any
.aother safe investment. The small investor of today
will be the rich owner of tomorrow.
This opportunity is offered investors on a ground
floor basis, a basis pursuant OF a broad business policy
for mutual advantage and cooperation, founded upon
the same principle as the cooperative plan of all big
businesses of today. Nothing like this investment has
ever been offered the public. before, nor has anything
like this world enterprise ever been appropriated before.
This you can readily appreciate upon investigation.
Investors are readily taking advantage of this OPP
IL portunity given them on such a liberal basis. The big
reest and shrewdest men in the country are investing in
it as well as the investor of limited means. The chance
is yours too: Act today before this offering is taken up!
Exceptionally good things do happen along
a. sometimes. The only way to prove that this is one of
them, The One, is, to investigate it. The privilege is
given the investing public of investigating this oppor-
,rtunity without %obigating them in any manner whatso-
ever. Simply fill out the coupon and full particulars

James Kier Hardie, England's great
labor leader, died. of pneumonia in a
nursing home at Glasgow Sunday last.
Mr. Hardie was labor member Of
Parliament and the leader Of the
peace element in Great Britain. He
was born in Scotland on August IS,
1856, and worked underground as
pitboy and pitman from the age of
seven until he was "a. He early be-
came well known as a speaker in the
temperance movement, but eventually
became prominent in labor circles. He
was actively identified with the So
cialist party in Great Britain
Mr.. Hardie paid several visits to
the United States and Canada. It was
on one Of these visits, while crossing
the ocean, that he met Joseph Fels,
the great soap manufacturer. In
their promenades over the deck of the
ship they spent much time discussing
public questions, and particularly the
labor question. Mr.. Hardie took the
side Of the working man and Mr.. Fels
that OF the employer. The latter OBJ
served that Mr.. Hardie never talked
about himself but about the great
mass of humanity in which he was in
terested. Mr.. Fels believed that he
was model employer and was ever
impressing upon Mr.. Hardie how we'll
he treated his employees. This was the
awakening of Joseph Fels He forth
with became a student Of economics
and from that day to the time OF his
death he devoted his time and his
MEANS to make the condition of men
better. He became best known as an
advocate of the single tax. Mr.. Fels
attributed his conversion to his talks
with Kier Hardie.
Mr.. Hardie attended conventions OF
the American Federation of Labor as
a fraternal delegate and recently he
made a trip to-the United States and
Canada in the Interest of the Social
list party. His deaf is sad blow to
the laborers of the world.

HURRY UP BILLY SUNDAY!

AN EDITORIAL BY AEsOP.

As we stated in Labor Day editorial, the tendency
in Labor Day addresses is to praise and admire the
achievements of the past to the detrment
progress of the labor movement Self praise and flat
terry is more harmful than undue criticism.
In some respects we like Aesops Stag that

his mouth when he some sportsmen and pack of

No judicial Poise"
With Frank P. Walsh

II was neither Judge nor juryman.
A man who is endaavoring to develop
the truth from some witnesses
unwilling-is not judicial officer.
That is what I mean whe, say so
frequently that judicial poise' has no
place in my field,' said Frank P.

sion on industrial relations, recently.

selves-and let this sink in-every
fact presented in the report is undis-
puted. Only those were presented
which were agreed upon as truth by
both the workers and the employers"
said the ex-federal prober.

task set before me was to obtain un-
disputed facts for all the people, for
the man who has invested his millions
