i S tnat tht American IL the SnTeNOest
and most Intelligent investor in the
world. but tO those who have given
the matter careful study that sup
position is all wrong.
The best investors. as class. are
the French people. In that country.
the idea OF making their surplus earn
ings work for them. is instilled into
the minds of the people from early
childhood. In fact, 1t must be con
financiers in the world II a man or
woman is earning more than enough

she begins to look around for some
place to put the surplos at work. And
! they are no, usually satisfied with an
! investment: which will only pay them
low rate of interest They prefer
something that will pay better than
bond. They see to il that the in
vestment will pay them interest as
| we'll as grow In value. The result, AZ
4 whole, il that the French nation u
the richest In the world, per capita.
On the other hand the American
nation Is rich one In natural re-
| sources. but 1t has been largely
financed BY other nations. II is also
| true that the West or newer section
0f this country has been financed by
the Eastern or older portions and that
the profits derived from the majority
of our best enterprises goes back East
10 fill the pockets OF our less timid
neighb0rs. In fact, It has been truly
said of the Westerner that. before he
will invest In one OF our home enter.
prises 1t must be stamped with the
approval of his Eastern brethren. The
result is that by the time he is ready
to entertain it the Easterner has taken
/ he cream and leaves him only the
skinned milk.
Now every man with good jud9-
ment. mixed with little foresight.
must realize that many opportunities
for investment will be offered in this
country which will be absolutely safe
and where the profits are bound to be
large, OH account of the war in Eu-
rope. Business of all kinds over there
will be paralyzed for several years
and America will be called upon to
furnish the world with its food as
well as its manufactured products.
America will be the business mart OF
The entire world and II is to be hoped
that our people will be prepared to
anticipates these wonderful advant-
ages and get the benefits of a situa
lion which, while TO be regretted, Is
lone OF our making.
That being an axiom SO self-evident
hat 1t needs no proof. 1t behooves the
American citizen who has some sur
plus capital or is earning more than
lie needs to live upon. to look around
him for chance to get in on the
ypound floor and the Colorado citizen
lot to wait until his brethren of the
Cast gets all the cream.
1t must be conceded that the field
ls broad and 1t must be acknowledged
hat 1t is easier to make money than
t IL to place 1t where 1t will bring
he greatest returns after 1t is made
Also that the viewpoint of the ordin-
ary individual is somewhat limited
and he is prone to look upon the
broker or agent who approaches him
With proposition with a great deal
of uncertainty. For the bugbear OF
leavy commissions and travelling ex.
oenses is constantly before him. All
;hese conditions are we'll known and
the investor cannot be blamed for
ivoiding them as much as possible
The government is strenuously try
ing to imbue the people with this idea
n its efforts to put the seller in I'M
mediate touch with the buyer by
means of the parcels post. Why not
extend the idea to the investment

We have seen the automobile in
1ustry grow from small beginning
% its present wonderful status. But
he quickest rise in modern, or any
other times, for that matter, is the
wonderful growth Of the motion pic
;ure business in all its ramifications.
Practically unknown six years ago, it
has grown in popularity until it is
he greatest amusement enterprise in
he world. That is true in all coun-
:ries, but the example of its growth
IN our own is sufficient for our pur-
pose at this time. With population

mind that large proportion of that
population is far removed from the
cities and towns large enough to sup
port such institutions. Statistics

ing by leaps and bounds. 1t has be-
come fixture, like the automobile;
f, has come to stay. The business will
be extended until eventually every ru-
raj district will be reached. Motion
! pictures will be used in the rural
schools and churches. The demand
for films is already far ahead OF the
supply and that demand is only in
its infancy. Already theaters are re-
producing films used two, three and

demand for this popular kind OF rec
reation and information which cannot
be supplied in any other way at
present.
