Unfortunate Working Girl

Question: would like very much to
have your opinion on some stocks
winch | am unfortunate enough to
hold-Curtiss Airplane, ten shares
bought around its highest price some
years ago; Wright Martin, twenty
shares, somewhere around SIT share
Intern ational Nickel at $l8, and 500
Hull Copper, held for four years at 80
cents a share; Gold Zone at ST cents,
1000 shares. Have been advised to
buy Mexican Panuco Oil Company. Do
you know anything of it? Please tell
me your candid opinion of the above
stocks and what | had better do with
them-sell or hold. If by holding I
might come out even in the end !
think ] can manage to do so, if moth
ing unforeseen happens. Am a work
ing girl who has come to grief through
trying to make q little in stocks in or
der to help her people at home, who
have been hard hit by the war. Also
have some Ray Hercules. Is that any
good?
Answer-Your experience is a conf
mon one--so many of us are tempted
to speculate in the stock market. We
hear stories of the ease with which
money Is made, and we say to our
selves: Il guess I will take a chance,
my information Is so good" We do
not wish to convey the impression that
we are preaching, but this much we
can say: No man or woman who hon.
estly cannot afford to lose money
should speculate. And speculation is
buying for rise Or selling for a fall
in prices: 1t makes no difference
whether the trading is done on mar
gin. If one buys stock for the rise. and
not Tor income purposes, and pays for
1t outright, it Is still specializing. Buy
ing stock on margin is simply a differ
better protected the account. One
might purchase good security, the
earning power of which was substan-
tial, and when the condition of the
company had not changed-in fact.
might have improved-be upset to find
it suddenly going down with the GEN
eral speculative list. But when 60.
curity Is bought for the income one
need not be bothered by fluctuations
Ihere are so many contributing causes
for movements in the stock market thar
not even the wisest professional specu-
iator emerges unscathed. We cannot
attempt to forecast the stock market.
for each day brings new elements into
II. therefore we cannot tell whether
or not your securities will come back
to the price you paid for them. If
they did, are you quite sure you would
sell them? If you have, as you say,
come to grief through trying to make
little extra money in stocks. would
1t not be best to cash in now and
charge the loss up to experience? For
you should realize that Just as long as
you hold these securities you are spec
ulating, with more grief in store for
you If they decline further. No infor-
nation we could give you regarding the
stocks mentioned would aid you much
If at all. We fully appreciate your
position. You have plenty of company
The time to seek advice Is before in
vesting-not after.

THE EARLY BIRD PAYS

Poultry raisers throughout the
country should not lose sight Of the
fact that it pays better to raise stan
dard bred poultry than the common
barn yard or Mongrel fowl The stand
ard bred fowls cost no more to raise
house or market than the Mongrel;
they eat no more and lay better. They
are more uniform in size and color
and when dressed for the market they
bring more per pound. Standard bred
poultry can rough it as well or better
than the common barn yard fowl. We
therefore advise all who possibly can
to raise good strong vigorous stand
ard bred birds. In order that this may
be successful there is no question
about the early Hatch" campaign
that was vigorously pushed last
season early Hatch means early
Lay" and summed UP means more
money to the producer. The State
College of Agriculture and the u S.
Department of Agriculture co-operat-
ing, working through County and
Home Demonstration Agent, and as
sisted by Local Leaders and Commit
tee men, wishes all to keep up the
good work in early Matching.

A WORD WITH WOMEN
READERS

Many a woman endures with noble
patience the daily misery of backacEe,
pains about the hips, blue, nervous
spells, dizziness and urinary disor-
ders, hopeless of relief because she
doesn't know what is the matter.
Tt is not true that every pain in
the back or hips is trouble peculiar
to the SEX Often when the kidneys
get congested and infamed, such
aches and pains follow.
Then help the weakened kidneys.
Don't expect them to get well alone.
Doan's Kidney Pills have won the
praise of thousands of women. They
are endorsed at home-Read this Wa
Keeney woman's convincing testi-
mony:
Mrs Ellen Bowman, Wa-Keeney,
says: ssI had a dull ache across the
small of my back all the time. One
box of Doan's Kidney Pills brought

they pile you in like a bunch of cows,
Forty men to car
And then they try to encourage you
BY saying, cit won't be far
For days and nights you're bumped
about
Till every bone is sore,
They feed you nothing but willie
and bread,
And you simply can't open the door
For a side door pullman in France,
Has got it all over the Ford
For there aren't any cushions
And the floor is nothing but board.
You may try real hard at night to
sleep,
And you may just as well try to
fly
For the first thing you know,
You find someone's toes,
Planted right square in your eye.
They jerk you along about two miles
an hour,
And you finally come to an end
But when you try to get out of the
thing
You're so sore you can't even bend
So my pal and have both agreed
Since we took this hobo ride
That we'll wait and do our travelling
When we get on the other side.
I am sitting by the campfire
| This gray December eve.
The sky is raining pitchforks
| And the roof leaks like a sieve
OF home the boys. are. talking
And of girls, they'd like to meet,
But as for me, I'm thinking,
OF what I'd like to eat.
Now I'm feeling pretty good
But I'm hungry as you'll guess.
I hear the tschow'' call blowing
So I stop and go to mess.
| Respectfully,
| Charles L. Shriner

ANDREW CROFT WRITES

France, December IT. 1913
Dear Folks:
Received your letter of the 18th of
November. Things must have been
at high tide about that time. didn't
notice any greater amount of enthu-
siasm the night the armistice was
singned. They were raising h
several days before that. The boches
must have thought the Americans
were all crazy. Everything going for
ward as fast it could, no one know
ing where the boche were or how
soon they were going to run onto
them. The Americans reminded one
of bunch of Indians. Cars would
| turn on their lights at night, until
Fritz would emigrate over with
plane. Then they would turn them
off and beat it. Of course everyone
| used up his ammunition several days
before the game ended. Toward the
last everyone that could grab any
thing that would shoot would turn
loose on the boche flyers when they
| would come over and try, and most of
the time get our balloons, then turn
| their machine guns on the roads or
a bunch of fellows.
| According to the papers one would
never think the boche did much of
that but every day (good flying
weather) it happened. At first no one
dared to fire at a plane, orders against
| it, but hears said so often and
very much from the French, the
Americans are individual fighters, and
to h with the system. Also that
is what the Germans say
Several days before the end, when
the boche were going back and no
one knew where the front line was
| cOI11d Me nd irhf Re
every direction. Before this the lights
were just in mans land but then
they were everywhere and you didn't
know where you were at Then some
one would turn loose with hand
apple and who could tell what was
going on and then Fritz flying about
I dropping them too. So there's nc
wonder one couldn't tell when it was
over.
The Germans sent word over thai
the Americans had not stopped firing
at them They heard the Americans
firing their old mines and shooting
grenades and anything else so they
thought they were still coming over
We didn't take no chances on the
. mines being connected without the
s. O. S. first. We had too much OF
that to take any chances after the
thing was over. That's why have
the job now have. One fellow was
showing how a certain dutch gren
ade worked
So you think we will get home soor
because we We're the first over Dom
be misled- Things are not run m the
army as one would look at it from &
common sense view. Give policy here
a part before you even venture tt
make a guess at what is liable to hap
pen.
I expect Aud1ey is back by this
time as all air plane extras have gone
back Not much excitment about go
ing back as most everybody is usec
to being kidded
Yours as ever,

And then the tragic moment came,
We heard shriIl whistle blast
And every doggone one of US,
Was thinking of his past.
For the water we all knew
Was nearly as cold as ice.
The chance we had had was Just as
small,
As making big Dick with the
dice.
And then a rousing cheer went up
Thinks I, what is the trick?
Well the periscope that had us scared
Was nothing but ststick-''
And we landed in Brest
All happy and gay.
They piled US in ??
And sent US away.
Now oft have sat and listened,
To many hoboes yarns
Of how they rode the fast ones,
And slept in dirty barns
Of how they begged a handout,
And hooked midnight freight
And many other stories
Too numerous to relate
But when it comes to knocking about,
And honestly riding them through
A real French, side door Pullman
You'll find, is just as tough
