American Dollar
Asserts Its Worth

John f.. Gardin, vlce-presldent Of
the National City Bank, says that
the parity Of the exchanges is based
upon the price of gold, which each
nation pays for a given quantity, and
that the disparity between that par
and the present rate is so great that
any attempt to remedy the situation
by natural methods seems almost
hopeless. However. something will
have TO be done, and in order TO give
stability not alone TO their excessive
issues Of circulation, but also to the
exchanges, gold will have to be taken
to the various countries under any
and all circumstances, and It is very
desirable to the world at large that
this should be done.
The probable method of procedure
will be an increase in the price that
will he paid for it, thus creating a
new par of exchange for the present
and then gradually reducing the
price for gold as the exchange Of
commodities again approaches nor
NAL. This has practically been done
in the past by some of the European
countries under normal conditions
and undoubtedly will be resorted to
again as the most efficient method of
bringing about an equilibrium and
reestabllshing the credit standing of
the various countries. Such a
method, together with high interest
rates for the time being, undoubtedly
will have the desired effect, but there
is no doubt that it will create feel
ing of uncaiiness in regard to the
stability Of exchange conditions and

Ut HAS been estimated that the
amount of money lost each year
N through the sale Of worthless
stocks reaches many millions. The
sad part Of this business is that the
money represents the savings Of peo-
pie who can i'll afford to lose. The
small tradesman and wage Garner
whose few hundred dollars may rep
resent the accumulation of years Of
toll and self-denial are the partlcu-
lar prey of the willy and unscrupu-
lous promoter. Such people are not
in touch with bankers capable of adj
vising them, and they fall ready VIC
TINS to the lure of large profits,
which invariably characterizes offer
ings of the fake stock" promoter.
This situation has aroused much
discussion on the part of reputable
firms. Whether due to his own care

of genuine merit.
1t must not be imagined that there
is any formula which will enable the
inexperienced investor to separate
the financial goats from the sheep
Men of experience in the investment
business can quickly arrive at an APP
proximate idea of the value of any
new security offered; but this skill
can be attained only through lone
training. We believe, however, that
with careful investigation along the
principles to be developed, the IN
weston may buy stocks; if not witt
the certainty Of profit, at least witt
less certainty of loss. The method
of analysis is based on the character
of the advertising, the reputation o.
the firm or syndicate handling The

success which the enterprise ma!
possess.

Third, advertisements iChich state
that the price OF q stock 1ciH posi-

offered should be avoided. While it
is considered legitimate to advance
the price Of securities whenever it is
deemed wise. to advertise this ad-
vance as a source of profit TO the
people who have already bought the
stock is entirely misleading, unless
the purchaser has a chance to realize
the profit which the promoters claim
exists. For instance. a stock is
brought out at, say. 50 per share and
then advanced to Sc, and wide pub

purchasers have already made a

for refraining from doing business

January Earnings Hit

Communities ran out OF coal, out Of
provisions; isolated division of some
of the roads were showed in for week
to ten days at a time, with no trains at
all. It was a case Of throwing science
TO the winds and moving in the best
possible way TO prevent suffering.
1t may be set down that earnings
will not look good and operating cost
will look bad when final reports for the
recent period are all in. This will find
some equalization later. The greater
cost Of operation, due 20 the low tenn
peratures, heavy SHOWS and blockades,
is lost beyond recovery. But the small
err tonnnges moved indicate business
not necessarily lost, but delayed There
are quantities of commodities that
would normally have moved in January
that will be moving instead in March.

Now 1t Is
Go South
In the industrial shortages and
crises which were sequence to the
first months of the European battle,
the richly timbered sections Of the
Southern States came to the fore in
the development Of new processes
and an immediate supply of deficien
cies in acids, wood pulp, dyes and
alcohol. At that time the handicap
of the South was perhaps the most
tremendous of any section of the
country. 1t threw it off, and to-day
it is a land of promise and place
of opportunity. Because of past
exigencies it is said that there are
to-day 1OO,OOO,OOO acres of unoccu-
pied or half-tilled soils awaiting oc-
cupation and an agriculturally eff
cient management. Newcomers who
mean hard, clean business will be
welcomed, and such thinly settled
sections say "come South There
are great openings, and should be no

have often marked the lot of those
who have elected the stump-pulling

If the South CHANGED to be the last
