INVESTING MONEY.
Don't Buy Securities Unless You Are
Poeitiva Thev Ar Sound

Don't Buy Securities Unless You Are
Positive They Are Sound.
A good counselor Of Wall street was
talking to ME about Investments In
stocks. He said:
Tell people not to be In hurry TO
buy. The average investor, as differ
entiated from the steady speculator.
doesn't put much money into stocks,
and what he does invest is apt to be
the accumulation Of months or years.
He can very well afford to wait until
he finds out about the stock which In
terests him.
THE stock market is with us always.
Tell your friends to study it carefully
for time before going into it. Tell
them to put their money in savings
bank for six months and let 1t draw in
terest at or 4 per cent while they
study the market actions of the stocks
they think of buying. Suppose in that
time prices do rise steadily and the
stocks prove to be sound-the increased
price in that case will be small tax on
their ultimate profits
1t is good advice for all investors of
small experience. An investment
ought to have market price whether
1t be stocks, bonds. mortgages, com
mercial notes, farms or city real estate.
The market price of safe and sound
Investment ought, on the whole, to rise;
when it says the depression ought not
to be great, and it ought to be due to
perfectly logical and easily understand
able causes.
Beware Of the seller who tries to
hurry you into buying by saying that
the market price of what he has to sell
Is going up. In most instances youth
find that he's wrong and II 1t does go
up consistently and logically over pc
Rod Of months you may reasonably ex-
pect that after you buy 1t its rise will
continue.
Don't be in hurry. You can easily
lose in an hour what has required
years to accumulate Look, listen, in
vestigate! The financial history Of In
vestments open to the average buyer
can be Enthusiastically the bank in
which you have your money deposited

A Land Of Milk and Honey

1t is always worth recalling
that the origin of all wealth is
in the earth, and it is particu-
larly worth recalling at this
time when the representation
of wealth in the form Of manu-
featured goods, buildings,
stocks and bonds is, owing to
no fault Of our own, in a some
what troubled state.
The middle West, as it is
sometimes called, is today, as
it has often before, representa-
tive in many respects of the
real wealth and greatness of
the United States. Consider
Iowa, "The Hawkeye State, !"
typical of a substantial and
prosperous farming industry
and manufactures chiefly in
connection Herewith. DO you
know that Iowa leads all the
states of the Union in value of
farm products, live stock
farms, percentage of farming
land improved, horses, cattle,
hogs, poultry, eggs. farm inn
plements, production of corn,
oats and grass seed, in number
of automobiles per capita, and
takes second place only in per
capita wealth?
The estimated wealth of Iowa
per capita is $3,345 or nearly
double the per capita wealth of
the United States as a whole.
This may fairly be considered a
remarkable showing when you
take into consideration that
Iowa is fifteenth of all the
states in population, and .wen-
ty-third in area.
The Hartman National Bank
believes that these facts are
particularly worthy of the at
tention of the brick-bound bus
mess men of this sea board
community. They may sug-
gest something of value, not
only in business matters, but
also as to who and what the
modern tiller of the soil is, and
his real place among the fore
most citizens of the land.
The above is taken from the
advertisement of the Hartman
National Bank in the New
York papers.

FIRST RECORDED ECLIPSE.
Chinese Astronomers Wsrs Punished
For Not Predicting Il.

For Not Predicting II.
Messrs. Hirayama and Ogura have
published in the proceedings of the
Tokyo Mathematico-ph society
the results Of their attempts to fix the
dates Of some early eclipses recorded
In Chinese literature.
The earliest is mentioned in one Of
the books Of the Shu Ching, where 1t Is
recorded that In the region of Chung
Kang, the fourth emperor Of the Hsia
dynasty, there occurred an eclipse Of
the sun which had not been predicted
by the astronomers. who were alleged
to have been drunk and to have
neglected their duties. Hence the GUS
tomary rites for delivering the sun,
which should have been arranged in
advance and superintendent by the as
tronomers, were in the emergency per-
formed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor ac-
cordingly ordered the army to punish
the astronomers.
A later document makes 1t possible
to fix the date of this event as Oct 10,
2127 B. G. Julian calendar)-the earli-
est recorded eclipse in the world. Cal
culation shows that there actually was
solar eclipse on that date, but prob
ably not In China. though the elements
Of the motions of the sun and moon
are not accurate enough to indicate
certainly the path Of SO remote an
eclipse. The authors are inclined to
h{,11 <hok ~,
date Of the eclipse is due to Chinese
astronomers of later age, who cal
culated that an eclipse occurred on
that date. and enormously supposed
that 1t was visible in China.
