TWO WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.

GONE months ago number Of persons with money pur
~ chased stocks in munitions plants. Later on. in the
game of making explosives snuff out human lives the
stockholders in ammunition factories drew down juicy
dividends In instances they also received stock dv
dends. And the investments increased in value But-peace
talked and munitions stocks slumped.
Also months ago many persons with fat purses
bought wheat As the price Of wheat mounted few sold
out and put their funds in savings banks But most OF
them stayed in These had the grief yesterday and also
few days ago Of declining market where prices broke
and fortunes wiped out.
Meanwhile thousands upon thousands of persons with
money in small amounts walked each week to the cage OF
the receiving teller in the savings bank and deposited
few dollars Those dollars felt shrinkage munitions
stocks shrunk and wheat prices went 70 pieces
There are two ways to make money One way is by
speculation Occasionally one holds to the money
made in speculation but usually the entccment of the
game leads other specuations The fascnations of
operating quickly hard withstand And while there
may be temporary gains the percentage of final gains is
practically negligible
But the game OF placing money the savings banks or
in the loan and building associations in life insurance
policies, shows percentage of 100 percent; yes more for
such investments pay dividends and interest and increase
in value from day to day
OF the two ways of adding to your fortune which do
you choosei Do you feel able to take the risk of the spec
ulaor' Or you favor of following the method which
never has been known to fail' Can you afford take
chances and speculate the comfort Of the dependent
onesl
Isn't It better read the advertisements Of the banks
and then carry the money In small amounts to the
financial institutions where fluctuations known
where the funds gain in volume and roll toward the
point where you arc assured OF fortune in the declining
days1
