WHAT IS A BOND?

. A bond is 8 certificate of obligation to pay money secured by mortgage or otherwise. When issued by corpora tions, municipalities or governments bonds are interest bearing debt certi- ficates. The owner of a bond is a creditor of the issuing company or or ganization.
 A mortgage bond is secured by a mortgage on property. There are first, second and third mortgage bonds and sometimes even additional issues, each tn turn secured by lien on the mortgaged property in the order of is- sue.
 A collateral trust bond Is secured by other securities deposited with trus- tee.
 Income bonds so called, are a lien on the net profits of the issuing cor poration and the interest is paid only if earned.
 A convertible bond is one having | the privilege of exchange for speci- fled security at a given price within a stipulated period. Debenture bonds are not secured l by mortgage but are in fact simply the notes of the issuing organization. The value of such bonds depends on the credit standing of the maker, A coupon bond is one on which both interest and principal are payable to bearer. In other words 1t Is nego- tiable
 A registered coupon bond is one which bears the name of the owner and the owners name is registered 1 on the books of the company issuing the bond, but the interest is payable to ! bearer.
 | A fully registered bond Is one bear 1 ing the name of the owner. The name of the owner is registered on the books of the company issuing the bond and | interest payments are made by checks | fordarded to the address of the bond owner.
 A gold bond is a bond on which the principal is payable in gold coin.
 A currency bond is payable both in- terest and principal in any kind o1 money that Is legal tender.
 A guaranteed bond is a bond the payment of both interest and princi- pal of which is guaranteed by 8 com pany or institution other than the creator of the bond. In certain case. only the interest Is guaranteed.
 There yare general classes of bonds; Government, Public Utility, Transpor- tation, Industrial.

UPSET CONDITIONS
 IN TURKESTAN

Constantinopie, Sunday, Feb. 2, via Montreal. .---I Information has been re- ceived here of much disturbed condi- tions in Turkestan, where BoIshevist activity Is prevalent and where some 4, 400 German and Austrian former prisoners remain. Fighting has oc- cured with Bolshevtsts in the north- ern region but details are lacking. General Denehnes army in the re- zion of Ekaterinodar, to which the British mission is attached, is making good progress, but in the other parts of southeastern Russia the situation remains unchanged, at least as re- gards the interior, where the Bolshev- ists are supreme.
 The Russian Black Sea ports are safe, owing to the presence of Allied warshtps, but communications be- tween ports and the interior country are rendered difficult by the Bolshev- ists.

REGULATION OF
 ". s. s. TRAFFIC

q am glad that the Treasury and the matter of the trade in War Saw ings certificates, for l feel that many persons, with the idea that they could not cash in these securities at the post office, have been done out of considerable money-for instance, selling a War Savings certificate for $3.75, when, at the very lowest price, $4 and some cents was paid for it." said Mrs. Richard M. Bissel, director of war savings for Connecticut, in speaking of rulings on this matter. The ruling that postmasters are not to pay War Certificates on which na- es of the owners have been eras- ed or changed, or have not been en- tered, will help considerably in regu- latfng the traffic in war time securi- ties.
 "The fact that all of these certifi- cates can be cashed at the post office with only ten days notice given to the postmaster when they will receive their proper interest on them, does ] not seem to be plainly understood by 1 the purchasers of these certificates. For this reason they are easy for the brokers who, by trading in a l large number of them, may make considerable money. If only the 1 people could understand the benefits l of taking them to the proper place 1 for adjustment, 1t would be much easier for them.
 'eThe fact that the trading in these certificates is to be very closely watched by the government will in all probability put a stop to these
 practices-the people who purchased
 the certificates in good faith are en- | titled to more consideration, for
 think very few are cashed except ir
 cases of necessity"

Americas New Investment Era
Every Investor, Large or Small Should Select His Securities by the Eight Proven Rules for
 Safe Investment.

Published permission particular
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-02-03

Bonds cannot be called for payment prior to maturity (retired) unless the condition Is stated on the face of the bond.
 The legality of the issue of bonds fs the most important factor. If in an action at law 1t is finally decided that a series of bonds is illegally is- sued the bondho1ders have no redress, no matter how valuable the property purporting to underline the bond may be. The investor should not decide the legal status of 8 bond even though he had all the facts bearing on the issue. The legality of a bond issue must be left to competent legal ad- visors,
 The market price of bond depends on tia denomination, the interest, the term the bond has to run, the value of the security and the marketability. The income" from a bond or note is entirely different from the ''yield'' if the bond be held to maturity, This point Is not generally understood d ] even by many bond purchasers. Income represents the amount of interest received on the money act ually invested without regard to the maturity, while 'yield' includes the interest-coupon rate-if any-be- l tween the amount paid for the bond l and the sum received If held to ma | turity.
 Example. If a s1,O00 s per cent | bond, interest payable semi-annually I be bought for $900, the interest pay 1 ment will be $60 per annum, l. e., 1 $50 on an investment of $500, or 6.67 per cent, which Is the Income" Ii same bond has 10 years to run, and maturity he will receive $1000 whereas he paid but s900. The diff ference Is profit which for convent 1 ence Is considered to be divided ovez the period, The interest at per cent on the face of the bond plus this profit with interest on coupons would give the holder for each of the ten years the equivalent of about { 1-2 per cent, which Is termed the l yield" It required & long compu. tation to arrive at this percentage and 1t is usually taken from printed tables Conversely, if the purchas. price Is more than the face the yield" will be less than the 'tIn. l come"
 The security of bond depends or the intrinsic worth of the property or which the bond is issued. The pur
 chase of bonds is therefore a matter for serious consideration and should
 be approached with caution since
 millions of dollars of worthless bond
 have been sold simply on the strengtH
 of the name bond which to manz
 indicates greater security than tn, word stock"

It was to| cheer himself and to help drive away| the depression that filled the mind and thought of dire things that tho| sick man composed, within an hour| or two, the words and air of Lead, Kindly Light" He read it to the idleI sailors, anal then hummed the tune. and the English seamen on boardI soon caught it up. The date of theI composition of the hymn was thel turning point in Newman's career.
