not be gainsaid that in the mining
issues today there is every evidence
that judicious investment should re-
turn profits of a most unusual char
acter. In other words, mining today,
comparatively neglected, with stocks
in many cases dragging along at the
bottom mark for years. will undoubt-
eddy. in n of those cycles of specu-
lation that occur every so often, at
tract a following that could easily
develop into one of the biggest mining
booms we have ever witnessed.
Indeed, Notwithstanding the trans
lent clouds that appear on the face
OF the financial horizon, and which,
incidentally. just as quickly disap-
pear, there has seldom been a more
propitious time for investments and
seldom have there been opportunities
for so great a reward to those who

No better Illustration Of this can be
given than the remarkable growth of
the oil industry and the fortunes that
have followed intelligent speculation.
Mining has had its day in the past
and, Notwithstanding its apparent in
activity at this writing, there is every
reason to believe that in the near flu
ture there will be a recurrence of
popular interest in the mining issues
which should shortly develop into a
tremendous cycle of both speculative
and productive activity. In this, un-
doubleday. the silver stocks will lead
the way-and. Judging from expert
ence of the past. it is beyond ques-
ton that the entire mining list will
benefit. Those who take advantage
of today's conditions and prepare for
the big days that are to come in the
mining industry. will naturally bene-
ut to the greatest degrse.-

of the fact that human welfare is the
essential good of economic endeavor
and that the possession of money
means to enable US to reach th,
goal.
This change in the way of thinking
is aptly illustrated by the answers
given by the members of class OF
30 pupils in the Colorado School of
Agricnltore.
Upon their coming to the class at
the commencement of the semester, l
asked for written answers to the
4sestion "What is the highes. aim
of the citizens of this country in the
field Of econmics?" Almost every
stuhent said it was to acquire wealth.
Two months later, after having
studied the principles of economics,
the same question was submitted, and
written answers given in which eleven
pupils said the highest aim is to Sc
cure wise cooperation; six thought

believed that the great aim should be
to acquire efficiency; while two were
OF the opinion that as far as the ques-
ton applies to the farming class the
ultimate aim should be to get control
of the markets; but the noticeable
fact is that not one adheres to his
original belief that the acquiring of
wealth is the supreme aim in lifc.-

had to pay SO much for labor that
there was little or no profit left for

THE TIME HAS COME

The time has come to show the
world that We meant what we saad
when we boasted two years ago that
we would whip Germany and pay for
the pleasure Of doing it.
To keep faith with those stalwart
young Americans we sent over there
to do the whipping part Of the job.
To do our part by lending America
enough to pay the costs.
To see that the money is forth

To let the world know that we could
have carried on this war for five
years longer had it been necessary.

RECORDS SHOW VALUE OF
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
BY o. S. Rayncr.

The man who attempts to raise
only wheat or nothing but beans or
alfalfa is putting all his eggs in one
basket,
The difference between this and a
diversified type of farming is illus
trated from rcords of farms in the
same community.
Twelve farmers made an average
labor income of S1,921. Their aver
age receipts were: Alfalfa, $1,546;
beets, $l,9o6; live stock, S629; grain
ana beans, $3.50. These men were all

ed they had bsets aad live stock

said Of other crops and live stock.
But a farmer in that community
with practically the same acreage in
crops made only $3.50. He received
$S,075 from alfalfa, sl95 from grain
and beans, and $50 from live stock.
He had only one main source of in
come. The other twelve ncn h.I 8.
What if his alfalfa had partly or en-
tirely failed? Or suppose lab,. mad
been SO scarce that he would have
had ta dc all the work himself? Last

THE AVERAGE CITIZEN :?

Department Store Stock Offered.

Department Store Stock Offered.
A $3,0O0,O00 issue of per cent
cumulative preferred stock Of the j.
C. Penney Co., which operates 1877 de-
partment stores in rs states and whose
net yearly sale aggregated $21 1896, 900
in 1918, is now being offered the pub
lie, and is to be listed on the New
York Stock Exchange.
According to figures furnished by
J. C. Penney, chairman of the board,
the average net profits before taxes
for the past six years are $1,O2O,541.
The average net profits after Federal
taxes for the same period have been
$66O,746, or more than three times
the annual dividend requirements on
the $3,OO0,00O preferred stock. At the
present rate it is felt the company's
volume of business in 1919 should ex-
coed S28.O00,000, with estimated net
profits Of more than $2,750,000 before
taxes, which are estimated at 81 ,100,-
900. The new quick assets after the
introduction of the proceeds of the
new stock issue, it is said, will show
1904 per share of preferred stock.
A balance sheet as Of Dec. 81, 1918
shows assets of S8,495,486 of which
81 ,697,975 is cash on hand and in
banks, $685. 1868 merchandise, per in
ventory, at cost, $2,991 accounts re-
ceivable, and $3O4.15O Liberty Bonds

building, S3O2,496. The liabilities are
shown to be $2,1O5, $40, of which
$756,318 are accounts payable, 81 ,3O5,-
$50 reserve for excess profit and in
come taxes, and $43,962 reserve for
fire losses.

Mere Man Buys Bridal Outfit.

Ward county young men who ex-

idea of how accommodating this Potts
vile, Pa, man was, who selected a
bridal outfit for his intended, as told
by Pottsville paper:
IA young man stepped briskly into
an exclusive ladies' furnishing store,
leaving more bashful friend outside,
and in his best style stated he wished
to buy bridal outfit. The lady clerk,
none the less disconnected, nobly came
to his rescue He picked out a clerk
whose size nearly correspondent to that
of his intended wife.
"From the dainty stockings to the
briday wreath, everything was passed
upon and the entire outfit was finally
completed without even the semblance
of blush. At one stage of the trans
action the lady clerk volunteered the
information that she thought she hal
furnished the bridal outfit for the first
bride, which was found correct, the
groom stating that he had lost his first
bride in the terrible flu epidemic and
was started again on the road to build
another home.
Judging from his expert advice on
bridal outfits he knew perfectly well
what was wanted"
