Answer--The Italian governmen,
bonds offer fair opportunities to OBJ.
tain q good return on the investment
italy is not likely to recover from the
efects of the war as quickly as France
or Belgium. She has not been such a
large producer as either of these coun.
tries. Yet the government appears able
to maintain itself. We see no reason
why tho bonds are not entitled to con-

II q broker buys bonds for you he is
entitled to a commission. He pur.
chases the bonds from some one else
who pays him no commission. The
usual rate Is one-eighth Of l per cent
or $1.28 per 81 900 bond.

Freeport Texas

Question-Will you please give me your
advice on Freeport Texas? I bought twenty
there is any real value In the stock, for if
such was the case I would boy twenty-five
shares at the present market, so as to reach
a better average..-T S.
Answer-Freeport Texas was forced
to go into surplus account in order to
pay recent dividends. The dividend due
last month was passed on account of
the poor market for sulphur, one of
the company's chief products. The
stock of the company represents a large
capitalization. No doubt this company.
as we'll as many others which have re-
organized upon such a basis, has
found it difficult to make a good show
ing. The stock seems to offer specula
tive possibilities at present levels.

Southern Pacific

. Question-Is the entire Southern Pacific
company under government control or only
the railroad portion Of the company's bust
ness? Do you consider s. P. a buy and a
reasonably safe investment at par or under
Are the foreign government bonds buy .
S. A. S.
Answer-The government took over
the railroad and steamship properties
Of the Southern Pacific Company.
Southern Pacific has been good Garner
even on government operation. It re-
mains, of course, to be seen what re-
railroad legislation. We do not be-
iieve that Southern Pacific will suffer
under the new plan. English, French
and Belgian bonds offer good specula-
tive, investment opportunities, par
tlcularly with the present low exchange
rates. Too much uncertainty en-
shrouds Germany to entitle the bonds
OF that nation to anything but pure
ly speculative rating.

CHAMPS WIN Their
LAST FROM PHILLIES;
R0USH PLAYS FIRST

PHILADELPHIA, June %. - The
Reds won the last game of the series
from the battling Quakers to 8,
Thursday afternoon. Slim Sallee was
hit hard as per usual but like last year
the hits didn't mean anything. The
game was hard battle throughout.
Several times the Phillies threaten
ed but superior fielding kept them in
check. Eddie Roush played first base
in place of Jake Daubert and got by
with flying colors. He failed to garner
his usual hits however. Charlie See
played a great game in center field in
place of Roush, his fielding being re-
sponsible for two Phillies scoring. He
nailed one hit.
The Phillie fans were SO enraged
because the Champions broke even
with their tailenders, that they at
tempted to mob them when the team
passed from the field. One fan got
boisterous and pushed Neale, where
upon the fiery Greasy took action on
the offender. Manager Moran finally
got his cohorts out of the field without
any more being injured. The score:
Cincinnati.

Carl Mays.

The other day the game-wrecking
Yankees, Babe Ruth Ping Bodie, Bob
by Meusel, ct al, blew into st. Louis
to pick on the Browns. Going as they
have been recently the Browns were
set to present stiff opposition to the
Gothamites. They had been hitting
every kind Of pitching. The Yanks
won the first game. Then to make
it two, Higgins sent the under-sea
hurler in. 1t was situation made
for Mays. His freak delivery. his
change of pace and his knowledge of
batters should have been aplenty.
When the smoke cleared away the
Browns had knocked Mays from the
box and had COPIED the game to g.
Mays was the bird who quit the
Boston Red Sox team last year and
whose sale caused an eight months
legal battle in which the New York
team won out.
Which means the Yanks have lost
out on Mays, for he hasn't been worth
his salt in previous games this year.
Mays was born in Louisville, KY.
in 1891. Started his pro career with
Utica. Played in Boise, Portland and
Providence before joining the Red
Sox in 1915. He has cut in on world S
series money and glory, and but for
sullen disposition and a tendency
to brood would be a great hurler to-
day.

TOWN WITHOUT FAST
BASEBALL FOR Time

Sundays game with the Piqua, Ohio,
baseball team will be the last oppor-
tunity Richmond fans will have to
witness fast seni-pro baseball for two
weeks or longer
A carnival company will occupy Ex-
hibition park all of next week and it
may take a week or more to repair the
damage done to the diamond.
Richmond baseball fandom is not
enthusiastic over the Richmond Elk
hibition company permitting the car
nival company using the only good
baseball diamond in the city. The
diamonds were damaged last year by
a carnival. This has caused the
roughness of the infield.
Anyway, Sundays game gives prom
Use of being thriller. 1t will be the
third attempt of the season for the
Eagles. Manager Haas is a believer
in the third time is charm stuff.

 Treaty.

New York, Jan. 14-Incomplete re- turns early, today from 6S of nearly 400 colleges and universities whose students and faculty members voted yesterday on four questions concern ing the peace treaty and League of Nations, showed that out of a total of 41,sss votes cast a2,s4s favored any compromise which would make possible immediate ratification,
 The wording of the proposition which was generally favored follows:
 T favor a compromise between the Lodge and the Democratic reserva- tfons in order to facilitate ratification of the treaty."
 The proposition favoring ratification of the League and treaty without res ervations got s,97e votes, that op- posing ratification in any form, 2,92S and that favoring ratification, bu; only with the Lodge reservations, T,- S44.

KEEN RIVALRY
 IN BRAZILIAN
 AVIATION PLANS

is a keen rivalry between airplane manufacturers of the United States, France, Great Britain and Italy for the privilege of developing conner cial aviation in Brazil. All of them have had representatives here for months endeayoring to interest the government in their projects or to obtain concessions permitting them to operate aerial freight and passen- ger lines.
 The British Handley-Page company has obtained a government conces- sion to establish an air line for ras- sengers and cargo between the prin- cipal cities of Brazil but no British machines have yet arrived. It is said that 100000 pounds has been set aside to develop air routes by this concern along the entire coast from Pernambuco to Buenos Aires with stations at eight points on the way. It is stated that powerful machines of the four motor type capable of carrying a ton of freight and pas sengers will be used. The British company proposes to operate the lines until Brazilian companies are organized to take over tho business and buy the airpIanes.
 One American company has two expert avjators and four machines here put # Is not known that they have done anything other than to give some exhibition fligh+s. App1i- cation has been made to the govern ment tor germ ssion to establish a limited passenger service in the Vii cinity of this city.
 A representative of a large Amer ican financial institution who recent ly investigated the possibilities of commercial aviation in Brazil said that this country did nos at present cffer a, profitable ma sx3' for Amer jean airpIane manufacturers hut he added:

SOME SERVICE.

General Washington Lee was the most boastful darky in the regiment. All the way across on the transport he had been telling the world what he was going to do to the German Army. Naturally, when the outf; finally arrived in the front lines his companions looked for him to pro- duce. But Wash appeared to be in no hurry.
 ''Yo' all 50 brave, why don yo' go out an git some of dem Jummans lak yo' said? ?" sneered one.
 "Ah's gwine, Ans gwine. Gimme time," responded George
 He peeked cautiously over the top. Seeing no activity from the German line. he crawled over and finally stood erect.
 Come on, Jumman," he quavered
 Then he waited. Silence reigned supreme.
 Come on, yo' cowards!" he shout ed, feeling safe at last. "Comen on out heah and meet yo' master Come on, show me somethin,' Ahm waitin.''' ''
 At that moment a German artiI- lery-man dropped shell within a dozen yards Of Wash. The explosion blew him unhurt back into his own trench.
 <. What yo' got to say now 2" taunt- ed a companion.
 Wash considered.
 Well" he retorted, mo matter what you say about dem Jummans yo' gotta admit they suah gives yo service when yo' ask fo' it."-The Home Sector.
