RECENT BOOM NOT
ON SOUND BASIS
Figures Show Only 10 Per Cent Of
Iowa Farms Changed Hands Dur
ina Past Year and That More
Spectators Than Farmers Sold
Their Holdings.
FACTS ABOUT THE BOOM.

The land boom in Iowa was
part OF IA general increase thru
out the United States during the
past year. amounting to II per
cent.
The increase was more ex-
IRENE in Iowa than elsewhere,
averaging 500 an acre, or 80 per
cent, from March, 1919, to March.
1920.
While there were a few sales
Mt unusually high prices. less
than 5. per cent were at $500 an
acre or more.
Contrary to general belief.
probably less than 10 per cent of
all farms changed hands during
the boom.
About % per cent of the farms
for which figures were obtained
were sold twice during the boom.
Al per cert three times, 81 per
cent four Zines or more.
Farmers constituted 65.3 per
cent of the purchasers, and only
Sc per cent of the sellers.
Analysis of the occupations and
intentions Of buyers and sellers
indicates that there has been an
immediate tendency toward an
increase in the proportion OF
farms owned by farmers and also
toward n decrease in the proper
ton to be operated by tenants.
About two thirds OF the in
crease in value on farms bought
and resold during the boom was
appropriated by residents OF
towns and cities.

yields that they do not stop to con-
slider how very frequently they are
likely to place their funds in securi-
ties where the principal is jeopardized.
1t is far better to obtain only per
cent, or even per cent, where one
feels the principal Is safe, than to at
tempt to obtain moEo and have feel
ings of uneasiness. For your purposes
you should consider only issues which
are we'll secured and seasoned and
where the security Is not sensitive to
extent. We give you a list of securi-
ties which we believe embody these
features. The yield is from per cent
to Z per cent per annum. Do not at
tempt to obtain more than this. The
income on $4,000 at per cent is $500
yearly; at s per cent it is $500. One
hundred dollars difference may be the
cause of great unhappiness on your
part: Kansas City Terminal first A per
cent, 1860, WELD annually 6.35 per cent;
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul general
per cent, 1889, 6h per cent; Illinois
Central per cent, 1862, over per
cent; United States Rubber per cent,
1947, $50 per cent; New York Tele-
phone first Az per cent, 1899, 6 por
cent. The following preferred stocks are
high grade. In no instance is there any
funded debt, so that in reality these
preferred issues are first liens ON the
property: General Chemical per cent
preferred, to yield 6.35 per cent; Ma
tional Biscuit z per cent preferred, to
yield $50 per cent; American Sugar 7
per cent preferred, to yield $50 per
cent, and American Car and Foundry 7
per cent preferred, to yield $50 per

Answer-If your $1,000 means much
to your family we do not think it ad-
visable to attempt to obtain too high a
rate Of interest. The difference be-
tween SIX per cent and per cent is
but s25 year, or about seven cents a
day. We unhesitatingly advise the
purchase of Liberty bonds. There is
nothing better, and after you have
purchased them you will not be in
clined to worry over your principal.

is offering 100000 first mortgage and
collateral trust thirty-year per cent
gold bonds Of the Duouesne Light Com
pany Of Pittsburgh, due July /, 1949,
at e5 and interest, yielding about TN
per cent.
These bonds are secured by q frst
mortgage on all property owned In fee
by the Duquesne Light Company and
by first lien on Its household inter-
lists and on certain bonds and virtu-
ally all the stocks of Its subsidiaries.
They are also secured by first-cl
mortgage on the new Colfax power
plant, the completion Of the construc-
ton Of which, with an initial installed
capacity Of 10000 kilowatts, is being
partly financed out Of the proceeds Of
the $8,000,000 bonds now offered,
The property which is covered by
the first mortgage lien Of these bonds
will include two of the largest and
most important electric power plants in
the country and extensive transmission
and distribution lines.
Net earnings of the Duquesne Light
Company and subsidiary companies for
the year ended May 81, 1920, were $4,-
676,l66.04, or more than twice the fixed
interest and rental charges. These earn
ings do not reflect the benefit from the
large investment made and being made
in additional power facilities which
upon completion will add 100000 kilo-
watts to the present power generating
capacity of the system.
