 receive severe jolts and losses. Per.
 petual vigilance is the price of sue, Fcess in any investment, no matter or
 what industry it is based.
 The New England families who put
 all their savings into the New Haven
 railroad stock, as a lifelong invest
 ment based on a dividend record of
 10 to 8 per cent per annum from 1887
 to 1912, have received no dividends for the last five years. Stock for which they paid $50 to $225 share is selling around $3O. St. Paul rail road stock that paid continuous divi- dends from 1895 to 1917, and cost the sleeping investors" $S0 to $199 per share, is no longer paying dividends and, is selling around $45, although it was recently enlarged into a trans continental system in order to protect its traffic.
 British consols-the staunchest, saf- est bond known to the investment world-were selling at 113 in 1897, and today they are below 50. They sold as low as 54 in 1915 and were up to 102 in1S52. Absolute safety is un- known in any investment, as the only two sure things in this world are death and taxes, and even the former cannot be dated. Everything is spec ulative to a greater or less degree. We are always surrounded by risks and changing conditions-the latter sometimes moving very slowly and sometimes abruptla and the success full investor is he who is constantly on the alert to forsee impending changes, and who buys or sells accordingly.
 Anticipate anticipate anticipate is the keynote of successful invest ment, swhether it is in mining, manu- factufng, railroading, merchandising, or banking, and the mining world, in cluding oil, has as many opportunities for reasonable safe investment as any other industry, if intelligence and good judgment are exercised. Hence it is in equity as much entitled to receive intelligent banking support as any other line of business.
 Discrimination must be shown by the banker in making any loan in any line of business, and all his loans are more or less speculative. When the mining business is conducted on con- servative lines, with it's normal risks reduced to a minimum by able man. efficient plants, large re- serves, and ample working capital, it is fully as worthy of confidence as any other industry.

 ARMY HOME WORK

Denver, Col, Feb.,-(SpeciaU Re. paying a debt of gratitude incurred in the battle of Chateau Thierry and at Belleau Woods, James P. Lowney wealthy Milwaukee law student is in the inter mountain province for the purpose of assisting the Salvation Army in a social study which is being made as curtain raiser to the 1920 home service program.
 "The Salvation Army is a wonder ful organization simply because every officer is willing to make the sacrifice of his life if necessary, that human wreck may be reclaimed. The work done in the war was effective because of this spirit of utter disregard for self.
 q remember wildly one action in the Argonne. A Salvation Army off, ficer risked his life daily. A party of twenty-four was cut off from the American lines by a German offen- sive. The men fortified their posi- tion and held it for sixteen days until their own forces again recovered the ground lost. In those sixteen days all the food and water these men had was brought in by Salvation Army officer.
 "Now the Salvation Army is pre- pairing great program of extension. It deserves the support of all loyal Americans for it means step in the direction of producing better citizens. Our president has said that anything that tends to make better citizens is desirable. The Salvation Army seeks to better the condition of a class that no one else reaches. They plan to remedy all social evils. want to help. That is why am giving my time in payment of the debt of grati- tude that I owe."

Personal Item

The ambulance of an American motor ambulance train in Italy were named for famous American literary men, whose names were painted on the sides.
 The train came in town one night, and the drivers went to the little hotel and were asked to register.
 Each driver registered the name of his ambulance.

Trade conditions in the wholesale
market are prosperous, the report

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub
situte for calomel-are a mild 5ut sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive
colored tablets are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calomel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, dizziness" and that lazy
feeling come from constipation and a
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and
heavy" They clear" clouded brain
and 'perk up" the spirits l0cand 2Sc.

Frank w. Agan was born in
Plymouth, VT, Dec. 10TH, 49,
69,the son of John and Amanda
Henry Agan. He left Plymouth
with his folks when he was two
years old and went to school in
Ludlow.
He graduated from Black
River academy and went to
work in the wooden mills of
Ludlow, in one of the plants
which he now owns, and learn
ed the business, being advanc-
ed to an overseer's position and
becoming a chemistry and dye
ing expert.
While in the dyeing depart
ment he invented a cleanser for
wool that was widely and sue
cessfully used. Later in life,
he secured basic patents on an
adding machine and a combi-
nation vacuum cleaner and
sweeper, which he later dis
posed Of.
A Self-made Man
He went to Gilsum, N. H.,
for three years, but returned
to Ludlow in 1898 and built the
plant for treating wool waste
or shoddy, which he owned and
managed until 1919. He
bought an interest in the Verd
Mont mill, just below Ludlow
on the Black river, and manag-
ed that property for about 18
years. Later he acquired an
interest in the Ludlow WOODEN
mill, which he still owns and
operates.
The Ludlow mill, which was
an old fashioned plant, he e.
quiped in modern fashion, 50
that both the "old mill" and the
Verd Mont are now successful,
efficient properties.
Frank w. Agan represented
Ludlow in the legislature OF
1904, being chairman of the
committee on manufactures
and a member of the commit.
tees on temperance and the ger
eral committee. He has taken
an active personal part in all
town and village activities and
in 1902 devoted much time and
energy to the local option cam
paign as a candidate for lieu.
tenant governor.
Frank w. Agan, His Politics
He came into the present
campaign at the suggestion Of
his fellow-townsmen in Ludlow
400 of whom organized an A
gan club under the auspices Of
which his entire campaign il
being directed.
Mr.. Agan has no paid cam
paign manager, no publicity dl
rector, no paid workers in any
part of the state. His cam
paign expenses are being hand
led by the local officers of hi.
club, and the books are oper
for inspection at any time.
His platform is the shortes
on record and his campaign slt
gan is expressed in the follow
ing words
"For the present, I intend {,
advocate the return of theil
personal rights to all the PEG
pie of Vermont. believe they
are capable of self-govern

AS far as the notice from the Dept. OF

we were to have new laws on modern

At that rate then these people Sliying is
