dignity, urbanity and breadth of Wis

great Ohioan, he is one of the COM

his capacity for toll he has built up

Will bring to its solution the same
quiet good sense and spirit of helpful
cooperation that have characterized
his business and professional life.
William Mckinley was a great
President because he understood the
viewpoint of Congress and knew how
to cooperate with the Legislative de-

1t is time to resume the functions of
government as set forth by the Con-

age, poise and decision, who, while re-

the general course of government, is
not so cocksure of his infallibility as
to refuse to hear the advice of other

Difference Between Wabash Bonds

ouestion-Wnl you kindly inform me as
20 diMerence between Wabash bonds first
and second 5s and do you consider the
latter good buy? Also will you say If
Reading stocks FIRST and second preferred.
are a worth while investn,ent? "A. e. c.
Answer--Wabasfr first per cents are
a first mortgage and the second 5 per
cents are second mortgage. The for
mer is, of course, better investment.
The road went through reorganization
a short time ago when both these is
sues were undisturbed. We regard the
second mortgage bonds as a fair in
vestment. Reading preferred stocks
sell out Of proportion to other invest
ment issues because there is so much
uncertainty regarding the segregation
OF the company's properties. There
fore, if you purchase Reading stocks
at present levels you will be paying
price which reflects this uncertainty
However, both preferred issues are
safe, in our opinion.

aejpstment Of the above Investments 0f
any would you advise Miss NJ 3. G.
Answer-Practically every security in
your list is speculative in varying de-
grees. The railroad situation is un-
certain, and therefore it remains to
be seen how the roads will manage
under the new legislation. We believe
they Will be given square deal Even
the stocks of those companies whose
dividends are amply earned are selling
at low figures because they must con-
form to the conditions existing in the
Investment market. 1t is extremely
difficult to decide to sell securities at
such a loss as would be necessary
in your case. But if you would place
yourself upon a sound investme Mt
basis, with minimum of risk, you
/ should dispose of some of them. This
matter Is very serious one to you. Your
income at present Is s3l1 year Peo-
ples Gas and Wells Fargo pay nothing.
We should retain the American Tele-
phone, the Pennsylvania and Norfolk

these would be $50 year We regard
this income as fairly safe The sale
Of the remainder would bring about

could add a couple OF hundred dollars to
make the switch. Would you consider
Montana Power first IS. Western Pacific
5s, St Paul general As and Northern
states Power 5s? DO you think that a
switch to Standard OIL Of New Jersey
preferred would strengthen my invest
ment position?-D. G. ".
Answer-You would place yourself in
q better investment position if YOU pur-
chased any of the bonds you name
rather than retain the Pennsylvania
Railroad stock. We do not imply that
the dividend on this stock is in danger
of being reduced, but the railroad Sit
uatlon is an uncertain one. whereas
the bonds you name are well secured
and are not SO easily affected by earn
ings. Standard Oil of New JERSEY pre-
1erred is entitled to better rating
than Pennsylvania stock. This com
pany has shown enormous earning
power for many years, and the pre-
terred stock has large margin of
safety.

Need of Money Cuts Dividends

Your opinion of the following investEne At
cago & Northwestern common. Northern
Pacific stock and American Sugar common
stock l do not operate in the market
and therefore am not in touch with hnan-
ciS! matters out something like
$4,000 at market quotations and cost and
1t Is matter OF very considerable anxiety
10 me, The reduction of dividend of Chi
cago Northwestern, il seems to me. was
entirely unnecessary and an unreasonable
excuse given In the paper was not reason
able. The figures published since the re-
duction was made show, there were other
reasons than the lack Of money. Regard
ing American Sugar Refining Company
common stock. this concern has been in
business something like thirty years, and
IL the general impression is correct has
been a well managed proposition on the
whole. But to be loaded with sugar at the
which they claim loss of 10 TO II millions
even II their contracts lived up to,
would naturally look as if some one had
made a big mistake: I appreciate that
corporations have no rights, and IL an
individual should ask questions all he
but no information Can you give book
value as figured by the corporations re-
net before charges?-B w II.
Answer-The directors of the Chi
cago & Northwestern Railroad evident
ly realized that it would be best to con-
serve cash, and therefore reduced its
dividends. While it may appear from
recent earnings that the company need
not have done this, you should remem-
her that practically every railroad
needs large sums of money for i'm
provements and repairs, for the con-
dition of the roads was not good when
they were returned to the owners New
equipment is needed and new rails
must be purchased. Besides this, it
remains to be seen what the results
will be over a longer period One
month is. no criterion. SO far as the
American Sugar company is concerned,
We can only give you a statement OF
some recent events. The company is
said to have tied up various wholesale
grocers with contracts for sugar for
delivery during the balance of the year

Car owners should get into the habit
of using belt dressing on the clutch

Do not forget that the ground con-

Take the movable triangle and slide it

The difference between the two marks

can be corrected by changing the adj

To make the car steer easily and

distance between the rims at the height
Of the hub should be about one-quarter

AGE OF THE SOFT SNAP.

In las You Like It." Shakespeare.
speaking through Jacques. tells of the
seven ages of man." OF course, the
category is complete and truthful, but
we think that more modern times have
suggested an eighth age, that might be
inserted between the whining school
boy and the soldier, bearded like a
pard, and that Is the "Age of the Soft
Snap" when the whole end of life is
to get as much as possible for moth
ing. A boy generally reaches that
stage when he is just out of school,
with smattering Of Latin and alge-
bra, and imagines that the world owes
him a living, and all he has to do is
to pick it off when the world swings
around his way, observes writer in
Ohio State Journal. Nothing will do
him but soft snap, an easy job with
big pay and infinite leisure for society,
with motor rides and dressing for din
ner. There are many such young men.
or rather boys. just stepping on the
stage of life, to whom the soft snap
seems to be the blossom of their years.
They spend the beauty and strength Of
their lives trying to get hold Of it.
How many noble youth is utterly
spoiled by waiting for soft snap !;
and the longer they wait, the less fit
ted they are for any kind Of real bust
ness. They are today the chief apos-
ties Of the high cost of living and are
looked upon as such by the people.
No person can be soft-snapper If
he possesses any real pride. He will
take the first work that comes to hand
and depend upon his merit and worth
for his promotion and success. And
now to the sweet damsels, let us say
word-steer clear of the soft-snap-
pers. until they show some disposition
to work out their own salvation.
Palisadian. [volume] (Cliffside Park, N.J.) 1906-current, 1920-01-03

True, one might have larger oppor-
tunity if the call would come when the
fires of youth keep enthusiasm aglow.
But whenever it comes the man of po-
tential worth will respond. 1t is re-
markable how many of the great lead
ers in the war were men past middle
life. The young men had their chance
but somehow the nations put their
trust in the men of more sober judg-
ment. Doubtless some men like our
great General Pershing thought there
would never again be great war.
Yet they followed their profession from
a sense of duty. When the occasion
came it found them ready. So why be
discouraged because you have not yet
been called upon to sit in the seat OF
fame? 1t may be the events are just
being marshaled for the setting that
will demand you for the central figure.
Keep on being your best and doing
what you can. It's the man who does
his best that's wanted in the time of
crisis. The next call may be for you.

AS a matter of self-protection, Brit

make an immediate outlet for dried
apricots and peaches, which it is ex-
pected will clear the market of any

Inspect Your Engine systematically
Once Week-You Will Save

such car? 1t isn't luck at all. With
all adjustments properly taken care
of, every bearing and working part
fabricated. the whole car will run per-
fectly and will continue to run with
only wee bit of attention.
In neglecting details you save time
and inconvenience to be sure but
eventually you will find bad break
and what time you have saved will be
wasted in expensive repairs.
Avoid Accidents.
Never. drive your car at high ssEA1d
over any road, much less rough or a
slippery one. The slight gain in time
will be offset by the risk of an acct
dent and the pounding and racking
which the car will receive.
1t has been proven that the owner
who drives his car at average speeds
Of from twenty-five to thirty-fve miles
an hour over all sorts of roads pays
much more per mile for gasoline, oil
constantly for rough places and avoids
them and who drives at rate of
eighteen to twenty miles per hour. A
car which is driven at high rate of
speed is usually in the repair shop
often. which adds much more to the
cost per mile Of operation.
1t is not how many miles are COW

of miles of useful travel that can be
obtained at the least cost for fuel OIL
tires and repairs.-Popular Science
