Vast Sum Demanded to Prepare in

with him in the work of raising Mos
cows share of the great $1OO,O0O,OOO
War Fund are laying the foundation
for the appeal they are to make to
the people of this community in the

will be announced in a few days.
The members of the committee
Dean Eldridxs, Rev. G. W. Kitchen,
Rev. Robert Wssasr, NJ. E. Lewis,
Harry Whittier and c. j. Hugo-are
meeting every afternoon in the federal
building making a careful canvass of
the situation.
Why Great Fund!
1t is agreed that this great fund
should be raised now, in advance OF
sending men into the trenches, in Or
der that proper care can be taken OF
the injured and the loss of life re-
duced to a minimum. The hospital
units. the ambulance corps and all the
other essentials for the care of the
injured must be on hand In advance.
1t would be a monumental crime to
waiting after the manned and strick-
en- men are brought back from the
front before making provisions 1or
their care. The sum to be raised
$10o, 900, ,O0O,-is in line with all the
other preparations in this tremend-
GUS war.
Must Win at All Costs
And the war must be won no mater
what the cost. The $10O,O00,00O the
American people are asked TO give
for the care of the injured and their
depents is a mere drop in the bucket
compared with the indemnity Germany
would demand from this nation were
she victorious in the end. With |
Germany in the saddle Americans |
would never get through paying war
indemnities.

DURlED away in the financial pages
OF the newspapers several weeks ago
was a little item that attracted no
attention, but that dashed to the ground
the last hopes of thousands of investors.
Announcement was made by the president
OF trust company in New York City that
the plan of reorganization of the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific Railway had been
declared operative. This does not sound
especially interesting, but its meaning is
that $50, 100000 face value of stock
which once had market value of more
than 100000 on the Stock Exchange
had been annihilated as cleanly and easily
as the pencil marks on slate are wiped
Oft by sponge.
"I have 800 shares of the old Rock
Island common stock" says reader of
this magazine. as there, or will there
ever be, any value attached to them?
Had | better burn the certificates and
get them out of sight?'
This stock was never based on anything
but hope, and about thirteen years was
required to prove how weak foundation
hope is when that is all a stock rests upon.
Strangely enough, even the most sup
posedly astute capitalists were taken in.
A prominent millionaire in st. Louis who
died few years ago had nearly 5000
shares. The canny Dutch were always
large owners, and three years ago forty
two per cent. of all the stock was owned
in Europe.
Most curious of all, it is understood
that several very wealthy men connected
with the enormously successful copper
mining firm of Phelps, Dodge & Com
pany bought S6,O00,000 of the stock.
Anyway, they had enough of the worthless
stuff to elect one of their number chairman
of the board of directors, until the com
pany went into receivership and the stock
went out of existence. These men were
rich enough to charge off several million
dollars without feeling it; but there are
thousands of small investors who will
never recover from their loss.
About fifteen years ago everybody in
this country was carried away by the idea
that all you had to do to get rich was to
merge or consolidate few companies.
So a group of big promoters bought up at
fancy prices the stock of the quiet old
Rock Island Railway They exchanged
the stock for bonds of new company

known as the Rock Island Railroad, and
had this company put out $75 900, 600 of
stock, and then had that exchanged for
$l50,OO0, 900 of stock in another new COM
pany known as the Rock Island Company.
Just remember that the two new COM
panies did not have a cent of property of
their own except some Office furniture,
and did not add anything whatever to the
old railway except more than one hundred
million dollars in paper
Nothing whatever was added to the
old railway company except lot of new
stock on which the promoters tried hard
to pay dividends. This strange scheme
was started on July 81, 1902; and, ex-
actly thirteen years later to within one or
two days, it went on to the dump heap.
1t took thirteen years to prove that this
triple-declked curiosity was nothing but a
bubble. In the meantime the stock was
actively bought and sold by all manner
of persons in this country and abroad.
a reader of this magazine wants to
know how it is possible to avoid stock
purchases of this character. All | can say
in answer is, stick to realities and don't
be carried away by mere hopes
Don't buy stocks or bonds unless they
have some visible relation to realities. OF
course, no person with any sense ever
supposed that Rock Island Company
stock was anything but speculation.
For while people. all the way from multi
millionaires to seamstresses, were dab
bling in Rock Island, there were books
on the shelves Of everv big library that
pointed out what a hollow thing it was.
Investment mistakes are possible-hon-
est mistakes of judgment. Once in great
while investors are lied to, and conditions
misrepresented. There are cases of bad
management that no one can foresee. But
the great majority of investment losses
are due to consciously and wilfully as
sumed risks. There are very few in
vestors who can not find out when they
really want to whether proposition is
sound; but there are legions who take the
chance and hope it will turn out all right
Multimillionaires, having been success
full in some other line, foolishly think they
can not fail in anything, and are con-
stantly losing their money in rash VEN
lures. Most small investors merely follow
the crowd.
Look before you jump next time.

LA TOILETTE HIT A R

The spirit of loyalty exhibited by
the women of America in these peril
Gus times we'll serve as an inspiration
to men at home ana soldiers on the
field. With loved one at the front the
women OF this country have no pa
t.ence with siackers and traitors. They
want men rather than weaklings in Pc
sftions Of trust, men loyal to the Gov
rnraent aid who VIII encourage others
TO fight If they cannot fight themselves
The loyal spirit OF the true American
woman stands out boldly in the follow
ing extract from an open letter to Sen
ator LaFollette written by a Wisconsin
mother who became impatient with his
conduct as a public servant:
Il have a son enlisted in this war,
my n~eignbors have sons enlisted ID
5his war and the words you are speak
ing increases the. hazard of their lives.
Could you but see yourself, Senator, as
you are seen by your former friends,
could you but feel the shame and
of tragedy they feel when they hear
towards, sIackers and traitors acclaim
ing you their champion and spokes-
man. To hear your name whispered
on the street corners with bated breath
by suspected enemies of the nation re-
calls the fate of the infamous Catalina
of Rome and that of our own traitor,
benedict Arnold"
Duty may be the most beautiful word
in the English language, but the nam
of that Wisconsin mother deserves to
stand along side of it. And she has
inferred the sentiment entertained by
millions of American mothers through
out the land. The dilatory tactics Oh
lLaFolIette and his kind during the last
| session of Congress have become a
stencil in the nostrils of all decent men
and women from end OF the u
TRY to the other. But while it brands
them slackers and traitors, it has cost
millions of men their lives and neces-
STATED the spending of billions Of dol
