Patriotism and Investment

Question-Will you explain why
United States Liberty bonds have gone
down while British government bonds
increased in value? For instance. I
hold Liberty bonds, bought at 100, now
quoted at 95, and also Anglo French
bonds, bought at 95la and now over o.
In view of this, and setting aside
patriotic motives, would it not be a
better business proposition to invest
in the new British government bonds
5h per cent at %, than to hold out for
any issues the United States may put
out in the immediate future &C. A. T.
Answer-Liberty bonds were sold to
the people at 100, while the previous
issue was selling in the open market
for 95. Nest people knew at the time
that the issue was being offered at too
high price. but patriotism came to
the rescue and no one thought of regis
tcring complaint. But you cannot
find a better security the world over
Anglo French bonds would naturally
rise in price because they are APP
preaching maturity, not because they
are better. or as good as Liberties. How
ever, matters have changed consider
ably since then. Great Britain owes
us so much money her exchange Is way
below parity and we should help her
out to our utmost. Purchase of the
new United Kingdom bonds appears to
be wise move, and we think, as a mat
ter OF fact, it is a patriotic move, as
well as sound investment.

About Oils and Fcuiuments

Question-Wh Of the Standard Oil
stocks do you consider the best invest
ments? For net dividend return
Surety of continuance Of dividend
And for hope in rise in price OF stock p?
Is American Car and Foundry the best
bargain among equipment stocks .
ii. G. B.
Answer-It is difficult to answer
your question. If you mean what
former Standard Oil subsidiaries yield
most at present prices We would say
Buckeye Pipe Line, over per cent
Eureka Pipe Line, about 10 per cent
Indiana Pipe Line, over s per cent
New York Transit Company, over
per cent. We cannot say whether these
companies are going to continue these
payments, nor do we care to predict
the course of prices. Standard Oil of
New York and Standard Oil of New
Jersey, while not offering so much in
the way of yield, are good stocks
American Car and Foundry is good
stock, SO are New York Air Brake and
Railway Steel Spring. We don't know
which is best. The dividend policy is
an uncertain factor always. Just re-
member when you buy these stocks
you are speculating, though in sound
enough enterprises. Perhaps it would
interest you to know that an official
of one of the Standard Oil companies
recently told us that the speculation in
oils had been overdone. But of course
they are very conservative people.

Not Speculative Investments

Question-Kindly advise me your
opinion Of the following securities as
speculative investments at present
prices: Hudson g. Manhattan adjust
ment income S per cent bonds, Manhat-
tan Elevated 7 per cent stock (guaran-
teed by Interborough). M X.
Answer-Hudsen G. Manhattan nd-
justment per cent bonds are a specu-
lation-not speculative investment.
Manhattan is said to be costing the
Interborough the amount of the rental,
S4,200,0G0 per annum. Should the In
terborough be unable to continue pay
ment of the rental the property would
probably then be operated by the stock
holders. But would not .he road be in
just the same position as at present Z?
Nevertheless, at $50 share, the stock
seems attractive as speculation,
though not as an investment.

Along with the Arctic weather, pre- dictions Of the end of the world, short age Of fuel and sugar and other wor- 'rleS and near worries a group of United States revenue men paid Put nam an official visit Friday.
 Now, the revenue men are fine American citizens and there Is no reason to fear them-providing one hasn't done anything to be afraid of-- yet their presence here threw scare into some Of Putnan's good citizens and Kind Of upset their joyous train of holiday thought

They took look at the for -tner barroonis. going in back. of the bars and about the premises. If they found anything that wasn't entirely regular. they didn't tell the public about it--and it is assumed that they didn't.
 The -tobacconists also came in for visitations, as did other places that sell goods carrying revenue stamps. 1t is to be hoped that the visit of the revenue men will not mean a Christ

Santa is scheduled to make personal visit to Goodvear Christmas eve, when the thousand or more resi- aents Of that neat and thriving vil- ikge arc 10 have Community Christmas tree. SantRs coming is the talk of the village and it will be one of the Dig events of the year for the httle people. surpassing for them even the announcement that Goodyear IS 10 have a new mill in the spring =l1d start on It's way to be the Akron Of the east.
 Hgen; Robert W. Rovs Of the com pany made known Friday the ar Engagements that he has entered into with St. Nicholas and with the op- er2uves or the big plant to make the community tree program a stellar suc- cees.
 There is to be a great tree, 200 feet in height. ablaze with 200 electric lights. The tree will be glittering with silver and kpld and dazzling in its array of Christmas gifts, for there are 2sO children In Goodyear, all un- der l4 years of age. and Santa Claus has the names of every one of them, and not one will be forgotten.
 The $50 operatives in the Goodyear rniiie have entered 100 per cent. strong into the spirit of the festival and every last one of them without a single exception has contributed to inc Christmas fund that will be used h the development of the community tree idea. Here is an expression of the Idea of perfect cooperation which holds such paramount place in the plans and programmes of the great Goodyear corporations, and the re- sponse of the operatives is highly pleasing to the officials of the big concern. IL Is tho spirit of friend liness exenplif1ed and a striking IT, lustration of the great Christmas
 motto: Peace on Earth. Good Viii to Men.

cut. more to have its head washed and more to have its face shaved. . The barbers deny any intent to spoil the joyousness of the Christmas season by declaring an advance in prices at this time, nor can anyone charge that they want to play 8 Ht- tie joke on their patrons by boosting prices so that the patrons will be tempted to let their hair and Ehisisers grow, Ia bolsheFiki.
 The fact is that the prices the bar bers are asking for their work here are too low Everything else, ex- eepting the temperature. has gone up recently, and the master barbers are under pressure from their journeyrnen for higher wages. No one who knows what long hours and painstaking at tention a barber must give to his work and has Q knowledge of the aY- craze wages paid the journeymen will deny that these workeks are under paid. Yet they must five upon what they get--and pay the prices for food : stuffs, and all other things, that much higher paid workers in other lines Of eDdeavor are charged
 The contemplated advances, a scchedule. of which will be announced are only such as to put the barbering DoS4L4CSS lS4S Ou d ICdSOlldDiy pIOHl~ able basis. Letting out little se- eret, 1t may be stated that the price Of slaves will be 20 cents, an advance of , cents over the rate now charged for the simple and less elaborate service of this kind in Danielson.

An extraordinary. amount of wall surface is reserved for window spaces, 50 the plant when completed early next fall, or late in the summer will look much the same as the at traetive plant of the American Optical company at Southbridge.

 Seems like dream prospect, prob- sbly. to most of Kf1lingly's young men who are physically and mentally obalifed. but it is possibility well within the reach of those who are qualified to pass the tests that are set for those who would enter the United States naval academy at Annapolis to take up. the. studies that lead 10 the making. of every officer who serves his country on the seas.
 As already stated in The Bulletin Senator Frank B. Brandegee has three appointments to make to the naval academy during 1920 and in the filing of them he is allowed to recommend a principal and three alternates for each vacancy. His recommendations will go to the navy department for approval.
