Our Picnic

One bright sunshiny day in July, al the young people, in my neighborhood including myself, went on a picnic The spot selected was a great opening in the woods. near pond there was also a brook near by, which we enjoyed pad ding in.
 After placing our lunch in a suitable place until lunch hour we played games such as Jacob and Rachael, drop-the- handkerchief copenhagen and tucker.
 About 1 o'clock lunch was served on a table, under . wide-spreading oak tree, It consisted of sandwiches, cake, nabis- cos, lemonade and ice cream, which we enjoyed very much.
 After lunch we made 8 tour around the pond in rowboats. When we came back We noticed 1t was very cloudy, so Ee gathered our things and started for home. When we were nearly half way there it began to rain. An automobile truck came along about that time and gave us a ride, so we didn't get very wet We arrived home about o'clock, after having spent a very enjoyable day.

One. day little Frank Brown was sent to the postoffice for a letter When he got there little Frankie found big dog at the door of the postoffice and was afraid to go in. It was the dead part of the day in a country village, when the stores were locked up for the dinner hour, and Frank, who was very shy, saw no one to call upon. Frankie was fright ened, but he meant to do his duty. So he crossed the bridge walked up to the butchers and, spent two pennies for a bit of meat and carried it back to his enc my. The dog was much more willing to eat the meat than to eat poor Frankie He got his letter and went home in triumph. Frankies father that night praised his son and claimed that he was very brave.

The Eagle

Eagles are found in most parts Of the world. There are many kinds of them. The largest kind Is called the Golden eagle. The manners and habits of the eagle are bold and cruel. His sight is quick and piercing, and, having once seen his prey, he flies so quickly upon it that it very seldom escapes him.
 He can carry off with ease, rabbits, lambs geese, and other small animals
 When he attacks small animals and kills them he feasts upon their flesh and blood on the spot, and then takes a part of them to his nest.

Lane,s Bird.

Once upon . time as Jane was walk ing through the woods she heard a chirping sound. On looking around she saw a little bird with broken wing on the ground.
 She picked the bird up and carried it home with her. Then she tenderly nursed it's wounded wing Soon 1t could fly around. She then set 1t free. The bird chirped as if thanking her for her kindness.
 Next spring he built a nest in a tree near the house. He sang his songs to her through the summer and she felt rewarded for her kindness to him when his wing was broken.

Permanent Bonds Ready
Holders of Liberties Should FIX
change Temporary Issues

Holders Of S6,OOO,00O temporary A per
cent and a a per cent coupon Liberty
bonds in this Federal Reserve district
who have not exchanged their tenn
porary bonds for the permanent bonds
with all coupons attached are entitled
to DO so, under regulations of the
united States Treasury, by surrender
ing their temporary bonds to their own
banks or to the Federal Reserve Bank
OF New York. The permanent bonds
OF all issues are now ready for deliv-
cry except the permanent first Liberty
Loan second converted and fourth Az s.
which will be available on dates to be-
announced later.
There is no way for they holders of
the temporary bonds to collect inter-
est due after the date of the last cou-
pom on the temporaries unless thew
exchange them. The exchange should.
therefore, be made without delay. The,
new permanent bonds have all coupons
to maturity and do not have to be ex-
changed again. These exchanges have
been taking place for several months.
and the larger investors in Liberty
bonds have promptly effected the ex-
change and obtained the new bonds.
1t is the small investors, composing the
mass of Liberty bond holders, not ac-
customed to cashing bond coupons, who
are urged to get the permanent bonds
to which they are entitled and thus
benefit by being able to clip their cou-
pons and collect the interest when due.

Better Issues Are Available

Question-kindy tell me if NV low
priced stocks are a fair investments and
winch is the best. l am buying for a divi
dend and may sell should they 20 up later
-(Mrs.) L. f. D.
Answer-The list of stocks YOU have
selected are not of the best invest
ment grade, although some show verv
tar margin of safety at present. Worth
lngton Pump preferred A, United States
Smelling preferred and American Steel
Fcundries preferred are entitled to yery
fair ratings, while Federal Mining and
Smelling, American Hide and Leather
and New York Central are speculative.
We are not sure whether you desire to
invest your funds or speculate with
them. II you wish to purchase for in
come purpose we think you should not
attempt to obtain too high a weld, else
you may jeopardize your principal. We
do not recommend the last three issues
we have mentioned for investment pur-
poses; although all may offer specula-
tive possibilities. 1t is best to confine
yourself to those issues which are not
too sensitive to earnings. The last
three stocks are in such position, It
is our opinion that we'll secured rail-
road bonds of the roads of somewhat
poorer credit offer good investment op-
rortunities at present.

Nothing absolutely" Safe

.. question: have $4,000 which ] desire
l.; 20 invest in foreign and Liberty bonds. Is
cen apsq p5o'Iy safe to invest in Swiss per
1eiit' belslan Z per cent and United kim
dom Of Great Britain 1899? In vour onin
ION is IT advisable to distribute it as fol-
British I9S9 IN N o niberty bonds, $4,000 in
$4,000 in Swiss 1889? 1 intend to- mn, t''i IL
as a permanent investment-S. I. ~
Answer-The word absolute is not
aadmlssible in describing Investments
Nothing is absolutely sure but death
ana taxes. We believe United States
government bonds to be the best in
yeStmeht on earth. Perhaps the Eng
hs1ir dl1ers with us. He probably
oelieVes the British bonds should oc-
oupy tne position However, we are
considering investments from orr
standpoint. Investment in foreign GOV
ernment bonds is not, in our opin-
ioh' desirable for one who is UNWILLING
10 take any risks whatever. Political
complications may arise, not neces-
sarlly complications involving orr
selves, but withal complications. such
as nave been witnessed in Europe dur
ing the last three or four years. This
might very easily have a bad effect
upon the external obligations of a ma
aio a.; we :; nave already witnessed such
Y
ternal obligations. We do not imnlv
that these things will occur in Switzer,
Land, Belgium and Great Britain. We
desire only to point out to the pros
pective investor that such things should
be considered. There has been a LARGE
amount of buying of Japanese bonds
by American investors recently. But
yet we wonder how many of these hold
ers know what conditions are in Japan.
they read meager newspaper articles
about the result of imitation. and vet
they know little of the political situa
phaslze that we imply nothing. If Won
desire to invest your funds safely with
minimum amount of risk, surely YOU
can find good investments here in this
country. Do not look for too high a
yield, unless you are willing to take
speculative chance. The first mort
cages of good railroads and industrial
corporations offer splendid opportuni-
ties ties for the investor, in our opinion.
For, after all, the prosperity of the
country is based upon the operations
of its industries.
