YOUR MONEY
Bv John M. Oskison
A sane American said the othe

A sane American said the othe-
"There are two reasons-very
practical RESPONSIBILITY the small in
weston ought to be saving his money
and buying good bonds of railroad
1.-The first reason is that he can
get abnormally high returns. And
only a very small percentage Of what
he gets as interest on his investment
will be taken by the income tax
gatherers.
IN this respect he is in a much
better position than the rich man,
who may have to give up an income
tax anywhere from 20 to So per cent
of what he gets as interest on such
bonds.
"The fact that the rich men are
not buying such bonds, preferring
iaX-free bonds with lower interest
yield, makes them cheap for the man
who can afford to hold them. In
other words, these high-yield bonds
are extraordinarily cheap for the
small holder.
ANOTHER selfish reason for the
small investor to take these bonds
Is that the railroads and the indus
tries need the money to build and
extend their operations.
eff they don't get the money-if
they can't market their bonds-you
una ana 1nllllOnS OIL OLnef men ana
women of small income are going to
feel the pinch that comes from re-
stricted production.
"Take a concrete case. The X Steel
company needs million dollars to
put in a certain process for making
steel cheaper. 1t offers it's bonds at
a price to yield 7 or 1-2 per cent
The rich men won't buy them, for
after the government has taken its
taX-toll the net return may be under
per cent. If you and / won't buy.
the x Steel company may have to
close down because it can't compete
with other more modern plants.
when that happens a lot of us
elsewhere for work, and gradually
the supply of labor will be greater
than the demand for it. and wages
will go down.
at is true that new money is con-
stantly required by our railroads
and industries. If the rich man can
afford to supply it and the small in
vestor won't, where is it coming
from?'
There is no answer.

Rather Dodge Leopards
Than Automobiles

though there are many crocodiles and
leopards in Belgian Congo. Mrs. B.
D. Bedinger, Presbyterian mission
airy, home on a furlough, declares
that she feels safer there in the
jungles than in lodging automobiles
here. Natives of the Congo state
had no written language until Mrs.
Bedinger and other missionaries went
there.

cally the same dialect and formed
what they call Buluba Llulua Ian
guage," she said. 1--WE used our al
phabet with the exception Of @ and

The natives do not believe that
death is a natural thing but that
some one has conjured them or an
evil spirit taken possession of their
body Even when the ! crocodiles
take them from the banks. or while
they are in the streams bathing, they
think it is because of some evil
spirit"

Crop Commissioner
OF South Carolina Sees
Short Cotton Crop

COLUMBIA, April 3O.-The worst
adverse conditions which have con-
fronted South Carolina in years are
those that are now facing the
farmers of the state, according to B.
Harris, state commissioner OF agri-
culture. commerce and industries.
Mr.. Harris said that he had re-
ceived reports from every part of
South Carolina and the general
average of backwardness for the
whole state is five weeks. Adverse
weather conditions and the scarcity
of labor, he contends, are controll-
ing factors. This applies primarily
to cotton and corn.
The grain crop, the commission
er stated, while not up to standard
was fairly good. There are good
stands of wheat and oats in various
parts of the state, he averred,
The commissioner said that the
late cotton crop is not only peculiar
to South Carolina, but is paralleled
in every part of the cotton belt, par
ticularly in Texas, which has been
suffering from q drought. Mr.. Har-
ris said that in the Pee Dee section
there is some cotton growing. but
it is Of poor stand. He claims
that fifty per centum of the soil
generally planted to cotton and corn
is untitled and unbroken.
Mr.. Harris said that the prospects
are that there will be an extreme
lY short crop of cotton.
