How IS this for an Investment?

hun - Ills tut an lnYeS(IlcnV
Hardly a week passes that does
not bring by mail or in some
other form inducement for a fell
low to purchase stock in some
oil or mining company. The pros
poets are always of the most
favorable character and are
bound to make the purchaser Of
the stock double his money in q
short time. We don't want to
disparage any of these enter
prises, but a New York man has
sent US something That is away
ahead Of anything we have had
presented to us for some time,
and even beats the liberty bond
as a sure thing. We believe the
readers Of the Herald-Advance
are entitled to the best there is
go ng and we extend to them the
tip that they may get in on the
ground floor with US. Here is
the circular, which is headed "A
Fine Investment for Conserva-
tive Investors"
Dear Sir:
Knowing that you are always
interested in, and open. for in
vestment in a good live business
proposition, we take the liberty
of presenting to you what seems
to as a most wonderful. business
proposition, in which you will
take a lively interest, and prob
ably write us by return mail to
reserve a large block Of this
stock for you.
The proposition is for this
Company to operate a large Cat
Ranch, in or near Golden, Col.
oradO, where land can be pur-
chased cheap
To start with we will collect,
say, 100,O 600 cats Each cat will
average, say Il kittens per year.
The skins will sell for, white 10
cents to IS for pure black. This
will yield US say. 10000, 900 skins
per year, and yield an average of
say, 30 cents each, making our
income from skins about SIC, 1000
a day, gross.
One man can skin so cats a day
at q cost of 50 co. About 100
men will be required to operate
the Ranch, leaving US $1,000 net
per day.
W. will feed the cats on rats,
and will run a rat ranch next
door. The rats multiply four
times as fast as the cats. If we
start with one million rats, we
will have, therefore, four rats
per day for each cat, which will
be good and plenty.
Now then, we will feed the rats
on the carcasses of the cats from
which the skins have been taken,
giving each rat a fourth of a cat.
1t viii readily be seen that the
business will be self acting and
automatic all the way through.
The cats will eat the rats, and
rats will eat the cats, and we will
have the skins.
While we do not guarantee the
above statement, we believe it
will appeal to every business
man as a safe and profitable prop.

We await your reply, trusting
you will appreciate this rare op-
%portunlty to get rich quick.

The Presidents s Purpose
To Assure Russia Of Our Help-And
to Garry On

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Those persons imbucd as they trust
and believe, with patriotic and loyal senti-
ments toward our great war and our com
mnnder in chief and President adhere OF
course to tho last and browning words OF
leadership They have had no desire hitherto
to influence control those successive steps
by which President Wilson has advanced
and developed his eminent qualities to meet
tho exigcnccs Of the situation.
They had dcplorcd what seemed to indi-
cate pro Germanism in some cases, and al
ways opinonativc arrogance and fanatlca'
"pacifsm" when demands were made within
n brief period after the many clear and sufi-
cicnt statements Of the aims of the Allies
for "restatements," to meet supposed
conditions in the counsels of our enemies
which might enable negotiations for COM
promise, with concessions, to take the place
of. or to take tho vigor from, the prosccu-
ton Of the war and delay the essential de-
feat Of the military forces under the con-
troll Of Germany"
In the Presidents magnificent address to
Congress there is no such menace nor
Shadow of turning" 1t is designed chiefly
for one great purpose, as distinct from for
mer declarations to relieve Russia from any
demand to continue active participation in
our war, if that be her pleasure, having done,
under cruel circumstances, very noble part
therein, and to assure her as strongly as
possibleif of necessity unofticially-that
as a neutral nation she expect from us
every possible material and moral help in
working her way to an orderly system of free
national life
To place such confidence as the President
has in the good faith and sincerity of the
Russian movement is the best way, and our
only present way to create them.
Meanwhile, there is relaxation only
the more emphatic stress upon the duty Of
the hour: "Tighten your belt!" "Carry on!"
