TURKEY IS COUNTRY
 OF HISTORICAL INTEREST.

# ! j.
 Tn q paper telling something of the wonderful history Of the lands over which Turkey has ruled for many generations, prepared for the National Geographic Society, William Joseph ShoWafter gives some interesting facts which ordinarily escape attention. He reminds the reader that except when Paul and his associates crossed the HeLespont to Athens and Rome the entire Bible story, from Genesis to Revelation, was lived in what has been Turkey and calls attention to the East the civilizations of the Egyptians and the Phoenicians, the Blorfes of ByzRn tiunn-s.u were plant ed on what has been Turkish soil. He also shows how King Sargon, ruling at the very dawn of history, con cess h bringing down the high cost of H1Ing. He says in part:
 .sNoi other people possess lands of such wonderful historic interest as the Turks Occupying region only a third as great in area as the United in whose boundaries the greatest, the most influential events in human his- tory have occurred.
 ssThe Bible, with little exception, is naecount Of the doings of people who never got beyond what have I From a single corner of the Ottoman empire across the Babylon that in it's day all but ruled the world.

A CAUTION TO. THE
 SMALL INVENTOR

The collapse of several important railroad systems in the United States should be a lesson to people with small fortunes to invest. There is many a case today where the only se- curity of a little home has been the regular dividend turning up every three months. When that cheerful messenger of comfort is turned into oIninous opposite, assessment on stock, the person who suffers learns a. life long lesson But many others of the same type of people keep on putting money into equally hazardous enterprises.
 Like the people who are called Hand poor' their property may be so blanketed by mortgages and debts that a lot of money must be collected and laid out if the property is ever to be put on paying basis
 When a corporation is distributing securities over wide area to the general public, it would promote sound finance and confidence in the company, if it would issue bonds and stock in somewhere nearly equal proportions. Something in the neigh borhoodI of a half of the property ought to be represented by bonds which the stockholders agree to pay before receiving anything for their property. Then the rest of the ospi- taIization can be issued In stock which may be taken up properly only by people of some wealth or exper- fence in finance, and who can afford to lose if the property goes wrong.
 There is always tendency to is- sue too large a part of capitalization in the form of bonds Realizing that the public regards bonds as safer than stock, many companies get around this difficulty by issuing the small bulk of their capital in the form of bonds. and with only a small quantity of steckE2 Tzer5zs4e
 You can not make security safe merely by calling 1t a bond. The eau tious investor should carefully in quire whether the proportion of bonds to the value of the remaining property is abnormal and op-heavy.
