For the Good of
 the Community

A LINCOLN, ALA, farmer wishes to A know how the government arrives at it's conclusion as to rain showers, ris- ing and falling of temperature and the like"
 He wishes to know if what the weath- CT man tells him can be depended on. He naively closes his query with the state ment:, "You see it is about hay cutting time.'
 It would require more than volume to describe how the government uses ther- mometer, barometer, the wireless, the radiogram, the cable, the telegram, the wind guage and host of other mediums for ascertaining wind currents the ap- proach of rain, the coming of hot wave, the recession of cold one and the brew ing of hurricane down in the West Indies
 We all know that cold and heat and rain come with the winds and that the pace set by the wind marks the time of the coming and going of heat, cold and rain. We know that there are warm ocean current bringing heat and moisture. The Japan current does for the Pacific coast what the Gulf Stream does for the Bermudas and the Jersey Isles. We know that when a wind comes bearing down from the Arctic region it is going to be cold. We finally know that there are certain storm nests.
 The eye, ear and intelligence of the government cover all portions of the earth simultaneously Whenever the West Indies start brewing a storm the wires become busy flashing the news to every weather station. Wind guages measure the speed of the hurricane as it travels toward Mobile, Galveston and New Orleans The direction of the peril bearing current speaks for itself. Each element in it's devastating march is wired hither and yon until every place affected knows when to expect its arrival and what it will bring with it.
 If old Boreas issues from his cave in the northern ice and begins a swing to- ward the south, both speed and direc- tion of his path are accurately noted and flashed everywhere. The village postof- flee knows it as soon as telegraph instru- ments can get it there.
 What farmers are concerned in is not so much how Uncle Sam does it as that he does it so accurately that those who go by his weather warnings save crops that those who ignore them lose Many promising peach yield in the south has been lost by early April frosts because growers did not keep in close touch with Uncle Sam and have their smudge pots burning at the hour when Uncle Sam plainly told them that the frost would come.
 Piano manufacturers pay attention to the weather forecasts. They will not ship in the face of promised cold wave because they would not endanger the deli cate polish of the instruments through frost action, neither would they have the wires unduly contracted by extreme cold
 The western fruit growers have much severer frosts than the southerner. Per haps the extra peril is what makes the

Rules ON Investments
In Foreign Securities
State Superintendent of Insur.
ance Explains Law Govern
ing Companies Dealings

To clarity the conditions under which
New York insurance companies may IN
vest in foreign securities. Jesse Phil
lips, State Superintendent of Iusur-
ance, has prepared a circular setting
forth the provisions of the law As q
result Of the widespread campaign to
promote the sale Of bonds Of other GOV
ernments, many inquiries regarding the
law came from insurance companies.
bankers and bond men, revealing great
uncertainty regarding the right OF the
companies to make such investments OF
loans against them.
Mr.. Phillips, in his circular, points
cut that insurance companies in th
state may not invest in the securities
of foreign countries unless they are
authorized to transact insurance bus
ness in such countries. This provision
of the law, it is explained, applies
equally to internal and external obliga-
tions. BY way of illustration, the
superintendent declares that a COM
pany that is authorized to do business
in France, for example, may invest in
French securities, bat not in Italian, -
II does not do Insurance business In
Italy.
Another provision of the law to
which attention is called. is that the
funds of the United States branch Of
an insurance company of "A foreign
country may invest in foreign securi-
ties only in its home country.

Answer--With the exception of the
National Biscuit preferred stock your
investments are not good ones. These
power. Dividends are paid in con-
formity. with the prosperity of the
companies. One is never sure what the
next dividend will be. Therefore for
permanent investment purposes they
are not desirable. You should prr-
chase only those securities which are
not so sensitive to earning power.
National Biscuit preferred stock is one
Of these. The great trouble with most
investors is that they want to make
money on investments in addition to
the income. Consequently they fire.
quently purchase securities which
tiuctuate widely, and find that although
the dividends are being maintained the
stock is down many points from the
purchase price. This is less likely to
occur in the case of good bonds and
high grade preferred shares.

Stock Market Terms Defined

Question--Having recently become inter
ested IN the bond and stock market would
appreciate receiving from you explanations
OF the following terms What is meant by
par value; by being long" or short
of securties7 Also what is meant by
stock in street name" fiat price"
interim certificate" Certificate of de-
posit"7 Would you advise me to hold or
dispose Of a few shares OF Winchester
Company first preferred stock which were
given to me gift Mrs. X. X. NJ
Answer-Par value is the face, or
nominal, value. Being long of securi-
ties means being the owner; being
short means that one has sold securi-
ties which do not belong to him, bor-
rowing them for delivery and hoping
to buy them back at lower prices to
return them. Stock in street name"
is q stock certificate registered in the
name Of a New York Stock Exchange
firm. Flat price is one to which inter
est Gin the case of bond) or dividend

crued Is included in the price quoted
Interim certificate is temporary GER
tificate pending delivery of the defin-
tive certificates. Certificate Of deposit
is one which represents stock or bonds
deposited for certain purposes. We
see TO reason for you to dispose of
Winchester first preferred stock. 1t is
a good investment, in our opinion.

=, Answer-We certainly do not regard
the St. Paul convertible AZ per cent
bonds as "No. l." The bonds are se-
cured, toge ther with the debenture q
per cent, 1884, and the general and re-
funding per cent and Az per cent

81 Paul road had not shown such poor
earnings for the last two years the
bonds could be given a far better rat
ing. Until the road is able to demon
strate that 1t can return better results
the bonds must, in our opinion, be re-
garded as having q speculative feature.
There are $155 ,485,6 900 Of these three is
sues outstanding. 1t is our opinion that
the railroads will do better under the
new legislation than they have done
under Federal operation Certainly.
however, st. Paul will have to improve
greatly before her junior lien bonds can
be rated as "No l." Interest has always
been paid on all of St. Paul's obliga-
tions. Erie convertible per cent,
series D, are about as far re-
moved from the rails as a bond can
be. The price reflects the position Of
the bond. The Erie's operations have
been very poor lately. There is an is
sue of some SIT 100000 Of bonds fall
ing due on September l next. How
these bonds will be financed remains to
be seen. For a speculation, the con-
vertible issue may have possibilities
AS an investment it should not be con-
sidered. The Erie has paid its interest
charges regularly y. Bonds giving an in

AmOskeap Stock Dividend

Question: have twenty five shares of
mon and twenty seven shares of pre-
ferred stock. Shareholders will soon vote
on the recommendations of trustees for
a stock dividend of 100 per cent calling
for I72.S00 additional shares of no par
value. Will you kindly explain what this
means to the stockholders? Do they get
more shares or extra dividends? What
will be the value OF the additional
shares?-A. P. c.
Answer-If the Amoskeag Manufac-
turing Company declares a 100 per cent
stock dividend it will give you twenty
five shares of common stock. Your pre-
ferred shares will not be increased. 1t
depends upon the policy of the COM
pany as to whether or not the present
rate of cash dividends will be main
tanned on the new stock. The stock at
present is in all probability discount
ing the action of the directors. On a
certain date the stock will sell "ex' the
stock dividend. You will then have
fifty shares of common stock and TWEEN
ty-seven shares of preferred. The new
stock will have the same value of the
old stock selling on an ex dividend
basis.
