BRIEF DECISIONS

The truth is that few men have
their price, but lot of them are try

Some men don't think anything Of
spending ten dollars worth of time try

Some people wait until the wings of
the morning are pretty well clipped
before they get out of bed.
There may be plenty of room at the

YOUR MONEY At WORK
Russian Bonds That Yield
More Than 8 Per Cent.
BY JOHN M. osKIsoN.

Do you want to know of really
good speculative opportunity?
1t is this: Russian government Dor ds
are being offered to investors in this
country, in denominations of so, 1O0.
500 and 1000 rubles, which pay 51a
per cent interest on their face value. at
prices to net the buyer SA per cent
They are due for exemption February
IA, 1926. having less than ten years
to run.
To illustrate, you may now buy a
bond calling for the payment in 1926
of 1000 rubles for s301.50. If rubles
were worth as much as they are in
normal times, you would pay $501 for
this bond.
Buyers of these bonds in the United
STATES will collect the interest and
principal payments through a trust
company of New York. which will at
tend to the collection of payments IN
Russia. That is, the trust company
will collect every year in Russia 50
rubles as interest on every 1.0Oo-rubie
bond. then buy with the So rubles as
much money of this country as they
will pay for at the then existing rates
of exchange. and send it's check for that
amount to the bonds owner.
If the normal rate of exchange is
restored before the bonds are payable
that IS, II the ruble again sells Tor
II cents in our money-the investor
who buys now will get back S501 for
each s301.5O he invests.
Two important factors must govern
your Judgment of these bonds. The
first, of course. is Russias fate in the
great world war. Is the war going to
destroy or seriously cripple that ma
ton?
The second factor is a study of Rus
sia's resources, population. debt and
general standing in normal times as
one of the great nations. On this point
the dealers who offer the bonds quote
certain facts which you ought to
know one is that RuSsias per capita
debt is less than that of any of the ma
tions at war, and its undeVeloped re-
sources are far greater than those of
any other nation.
The dealers say that Russia has never
defaulted on a debt. They says that
the loan is secured by the wealth and
earning capacity of lie, 100000 people
and that Russia's population is in
creasing about per cent every year.
Naturally. no dealer ventures to
prophesy regarding the outcome of
the war SO far as it will affect Rus
sia's credit. You must decide that
question for yourself.
Upon that question hinges the real
value of the bonds.
