UNNECESSARY ENERGY
No Need of Winds TO Blow the Dust
Into the Bad Mans Eye-Skirts
are Already Knee High

Statisticians of Ardmore are busiy
engaged trying to "statistize" the
reasons for the high winds which
swept over this city Saturday In
the old days, in fact, several years
ago, the chief reason of the winds
was attributed to the length Of skirts
worn by the female of the species,
so as to prevent the male from strain
ing his neck organs to view what
was then rare and treasured sights.
But today, now, even a blind man
knows that the perpetrators Of wo-
mems styles have relieved the winds
of the grand accommodation and even
with high winds the sights cannot
be improved upon. So why the
high winds? Address all replies to
the Man in Charge of the Waste

Answer-Peoples' Gas, Light and

public utility corporations, has suffered
considerably since the war period.
How long it will take the company to
come back to it's normal earning power
we cannot attempt to say. The fact
that there is so much uncertainty
about the matter places. the stock in
the speculative class. If you feel that
you are not willing to speculate upon
the matter you had better place your
funds in income-producing securities.
All the bonds you mention have merit
of various sorts. 1t is our opinion,
however, that Denver g. Rio Grande
frst 4 per cent bonds are at present
selling far below their value, and that
they offer very good Investment oppor-
tunities. The roads earnings at pres
ent are very satisfactory.

Wheat Quotations Firm;
Rust Scare Suhs;<J;,o

The rust scare in the wheat market
appeared to be subsiding somewhat
during yesterdays operations. There
were plenty of reports in the North
west indicating the presence Of rust
in the wheat fields over quite a LARGE
area, and some authorities were of Tia
opinion that the situation would bear
close watching, but there was lust
enough optimism expressed by soma
Northwestern authorities to create the
opinion that present conditions are not
as serious as had been at first intimat-
ed. Much will depend on weather con
ditions, however, and some of the re-
ports! received yesterday said that it
was hot and muggy in some sections.
which are the conditions generally
supposed to promote the spread Of
rust.
The wheat market held firm during
the day despite the break in coarse
grains and in rye, and was dominated
largely by small offers from the in
terror.
Export buyers were said to have
taken practically everything offered
overnight, although the offers were Of
small proportions. Cash prices at the
seaboard we're strong and No. 2 hard
wheat sold at the Gulf at s3.08 for the
last half of August shipment and at
$3.06 for September shipment.

Another Sharp Decline
Felt in Corn Market

Prices in the corn market ex-
perienced further sharp reaction
and at the close Of the day were y
to 3Ec net lower. The July position
experienced the greatest loss and re-
fected decline Of 3 to cents in
Western cash markets. Receipts
were again quite liberal at primary
points, and the fact that the move
ment keeps up despite predictions Of
smaller receipts served to under
mine confidence in prevailing prices.
The rust reports ON the spring
wheat appeared to have lost their in
f1uence as factor on corn, which
was doubtless due to a.change in the
technical position of the market
which left values more susceptible to
bearish features.
Weather conditions were highly
favorable for tho new crop, which is
making good progress and, on the
whole, underlying conditions in the
market were against maintained

To Yield 11M

We offer a railroad bond,
secured by closed second
mortgage on over 1850 miles
of road, at the very low rate
Of $4,000 per mile, the first
lien (closed) being at the
rate of but $24,soo per mile
and followed by over $43,-
100000 of junior liens. This
road, during the period of
Government operation, actu-
ally earned all its fixed
charges, and at the present
time is showing large in
creases in both gross and net
over last year. The bond,
which is the first maturing
obligation of the Company,
may be purchased to yield

o. %, louis d San Francisco Railroad are

Detore M investing In them would be glad to
ssss15 y3qr views Why do they sell around
Answer-The St. Louis & San Fran
CISCO income per cent, of which there
are ss6,192,ooo outstanding, are due
July 1, 1860. They are secured by
mortgage subject to $119,7s2,o0o prior
hen bonds and $38,763,000 cumulative
adjustment 6 per cent; also liens prior
thereto. Interest is payable October
each year out Of the available net in
come for the fiscal year ended June 90,
put interest is not cumulative, The
pond might be given the same rating
as non-cumulative prior preferred
stock, except that interest must be
paid IT earned. The low price is due
to the fact that all forms Of invest
ments, particularly railroad issues. are
depressed, and because the bond, as
you may see, is some distance from the
rails. For speculative investment pur-
poses we regard it as Offering very
good opportunities.

Desires Bonds for Memorial

Gould you tell me what investment to
ilake ; OF tne money In order to have along
WIN satety, the largest possible income
to be used for first and second prizes 20
F. d. N.
Answer-The practice for memorials
has been to invest only in the best
class of security, choosing those which
run for number Of years. 1t would
be unfortunate indeed, after establish
ing the fund, to find the investment
poor and that the income had ceased.
You could obtain per cent and more.
but only in short term securities. 1t
would then require further invest
ment when the issue natures. For
that reason we suggest long term high
grade bonds. The Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway general per cent.
1889, are high grade, being first lien
on practically the entire property. A
$1,000 bond would cost about ss1o and
interest. The United States Rubber
first and refunding per cent 1947 are
first mortgage on the property sub
ject to but a small amount Of prior
liens. A $500 bond would cost about
$4O0 and interest These two issues
should prove the basis of good memo
rial. The interest per annum would
be $65.

guest your. opinion of New York State

that security instead of keeping the
money?-C. A. E.
Answer-There are some first mort
gage bonds of the smaller roads which
offer, very attractive investment oppor-
tunities in our opinion. These issues
yield over 7 per cent. Among them
are Denver & Rio Grande first A per
cent 1899, Colorado & Southern first d
per cent 1929. Other bonds which are
we'll secured are New York Dock first
per cent 1851 and American Tele-
phone and Telegraph per cent 1946,
Pressed Steel Car per cent preferred,
Liggett & Myers per cent preferred.
and p. Lorrillard 7 per cent preferred
all offer very fair investment oppor-
tunlties IN our opinion. The New York
State Railways show much improved
earning power. The Az per cent bonds
appear to offer very fair investment
opportunities. New York, Westches-
ter & Boston Az per cents are not a
road has never paid, and, while the New
Haven road promptly pays the interest,
we do not advise the purchase of such
bonds for investment purposes. At
present prices there is no doubt an
attractive speculative investment posi-
bility. We are unable to help you in
deciding what to do 80 far as Ger
man securities are concerned. The sit
uation in Germany is so uncertain that
we. regard the City of Frankfort 3 ~
per cent as speculative.
