THE FALL IN PRICE
OF BONDS

The present level of prices Of rail
road, industrial and nun cipal secur'
tiles has a serious lesson in it for
the average person who has a small
property to invest.
The average well secured bond is
selling at least 10 per cent less than
II sold for five years ago. The stocks
of the soundest and best managed
railroads must have fallen 25 per cent
Part of this may be due to liquidation
caused by the European war, bust
ness depression, and other spec al
causes. But there are few who seri-
ously expect to see stocks and bonds
recover their full loss.
A man who a few years ago put
10000 into standard. stocks and
bonds, has today only $500 to $4,000
of his money left, If indeed he has
as much as that. His reason for In.
vesting in these securities was COM
monty because he could get little
higher rate of interest than could be
had in a savings bank. But for every
dollar gained in interest he has lost
$40 in depreciation of principal OF
course If he holds on to good stocks,
and retains his bonds until maturi-
ty (Which comparatively few people
do he will recover a large share Of
his loss. But comparatively few will
get back what they invested.
he above reason ng Is based on the
prices only of good securities where
the property Is perfectly good. In
graf many other cases where the Sc
curity was of doubtful or speculative
value, large part of the original in.
vestment has been lost, often the
whole of It.

conclusion of the finance minister NJ.
Bark, is that their more temperate
habits have made the people more
productive, and therefore mere able
to bear the economic strain of the
war. In an interview with Paris
correspondent of the Morn ng Post
last week, he made the following re.
markable statement: "As regards the
budget for 1915, have no fear. The
loss of revenue from vodka will be
met partly by economies, partly by
fresh taxation, and partly by increas-
ed revenue from existing taxes.
When ] say that | have no fear for
the future I am relying on the fact
that the suppression of the vodka
traffic has increased the productive
ness of our people by between 80 and
10 per cent. The people have also
Increased their ratee of saving, and
have thus diverted their money into
productive channels. Take, for in.
stance, the pos ton of the savings
banks. As a result of the war near

THE ADVANTAGE OF
BUYING NOW

II business man read in his trade
journal that he could get certain
stock for 70 cents that would cost
him 81 later, he would travel long
distances and borrow money to gel
the goods. If he had business man
ager that neglected such an oppor
tun.t y, he would be fired.
At the same time some men let
just such chances go In daily life
They read in the newspaper adver
tisements that a dealer is selling fot
50 what ordinarily would cost $2.50
TO SO. They let the chance go be-
cause It seems too small to attract
them. Yet If all these opportunities
are improved, the cost of living can
be greatly reduced.
Women are pretty shrewd in these
matters, and don't let many chances
slip by to buy goods that they really
need. They recognize that in the
middle of summer particularly trade
is naturally little slow. Dealers
are all the time offering special bar.
gains in order to clean out their
stocks.
There are two scales of living cost
on which you can run a family. One
scale is based on indscriminate, hap.
hazard buying, running into the first
store and buying the first thing Of.
fered, without making any effoft to
find If any competitor is selling any
cheaper. No business man can run
a factory that way. A family AN be
supported that way only by running
into debt or going without things
one might just as well have.
The other way to run family is
to buy in the cheapest market. The
way to find out what the cheapest
market Is, is to watch what dealers
make the best offerings I'm the news.

bargains should be able to reduce its
living costs from 10 to % per cent.

characters Of Juatlce.

II is finely said by Plato that as the
knowledge that is Invested of Justice
deserves the appellatlon OF cunning,
rather than wisdom, so a mind unsus.
ceptible of fear, If animated by private
interese and not public utility, deserves
the character of audeciousness, rather

OWNERSHIP OF THE
WORLDS RAILWAYS

Private railways of the United
States in 1913 exceeded in mileage
all the government always of the
world by a margin of 30,2OS miles.
according to an analysis by the Blu
reau of Railway News and Statistics
Chicago, of the annual figures on
state and private systems of the
world compiled by the Prussian De-
partment of Public Works. In that
year the earth's total under private
ownership is put at 460,7O6 miles,
while governments owned 22S,90S.
Aga INST this, private companies in
the United States are credited with
254,1l In this comparison private
ownership represents 67.3 per cent
Of the worlds mileage, against 32.7
per cent for government ownership.
The comparison of the two systems
follow:
Europe-State, 1913, 1882, gain,
l.577; private, 1884, ,4S3, gain, Gel.
North and South America State,
1918, 27,99S, gain, 5,794, private, 1913,
1926, 469, gain, 4.1l6.
Asia-State 1913, 43,939, gain, Isl,
private, 1913, 23,112, gain, 1885.
Afrioa-State, 1913, 16,432, gain, COS,
private, 1913, 1000, gain, $50.
Australasia-State, 1913, 2O,357, gain,
l ,436, private, 1913, 1902, loss 1855.
The compilation is partly from UNI
otlic al sources and makes no pre-
tense of absolute accuracy, being in.
tended only for general comparison.
Listed as state roads are all owned
by governments. A considerable

yately operated. A smaller mileage
Of private owned is state operated.
Though state mileage grew in the
year 1856 miles against 5,4i3 for pri,
vate mileage, anaiys shows that
this is not due to superior activity,
the greater part Of the state gain be-
ing due to absorption. OF the 1866
miles, 4,f7S are contributed by Mex.
leo alone, which is given 1893 miles
Of state road in 1913, against 7,Si5 IN
1912. In the same time not a mile
was added to the countTys total rail
ways. This accounts also for the
rather surprising prominence Of Am
erica in the gains for state owner
ship
Similarly in Australasia there was
a gain Of 1856 niles of state road
though total mileage grew only 3Sl
miles, private mileage losing thus
{ ,055 miles, Argentina, likewise, add.
ed, 1902 miles to state ownership,
though keeping the same total.
