q little from his income for invest
ment in high grade securities, Is
bound to reap big returns. Look at
the quotations of Union Pacific, for
example. It is selling at about par,
as compared with a high mark of

approximately 10 per cent to the in

Pacific Is netting 8 per cent at its

Cor an example than the Liberty
Bonds themselves. When United
States bonds paying 31z and 4 per
