Small Investor Can't Afford Loss

Notwithstanding the enclosed clip
ping to be true. what do you think Of the
French 25-year external gold loan s per
cent sinking fund bonds? Should a small
investor sell hold on? Also the Danish
loan OF s25,00o,ooo per enclosed clip
ping. Would that be d good Investment
of small amount by person who can
not afford to lose anything?-S. A. s.
Answer-If you cannot afford to lose
anything we do not advise your invest
ing in foreign bonds. The situation is
still uncertain and you would do best to
be satisfied with a lower rate of inter
est. Liberty bonds best suit your pur-
pose, as you have expressed it,

French Bonds, Internal and External

Question-Having $1,000 to reinvest I
am writing to ask your opinion OF the new
6 per. cent French loan. tho advertisement nt
OF which appeared in The Tribune yes
terdny. Do you consider that or tho
French government ss the best invest
ment?--E. V. NJ.
Answer-It is our opinion that so
long as the present period of uncer-
tainty abroad exis4 French bonds are
somewhat speculative. We do not i'm
ply that they are not safe. We have
confid~ ce in the ability of France
to come back, but nevertheless her
position to-day is not strong one.
The s per cent loan is an internal is
sue and is therefore more speculative
than the external per cent bonds,
because of the fluctuations in franc ex-
change. Much. depends upon the total
amount of ones principal. If this
$1,000 represents a large part of it in
your case, we believe you had better
adhere to the sound American Issues.
Good bonds and seasoned preferred
socks, such as we mention almost
daily, should appeal to you.

Puzzled About Cities Service Preferred

Queston--Would be pleased to have
your opinion Cities Service preferred
l fail to account for the low price at
increa sing earnings and the fact that the
common sells around 300. Would 1t be
considered safe investment?-F. r.
Answer-Cities Service preferred is
not hgh-grade investment because the
company is largely in the business of
producing oil, which is hazardous en-
terprise. Nevertheless, as you say, the
company is earning the preferred divi-
dends by wide margin. 1t is we'll
managed concern. 1t does not seem to
US that the stock is selling far out of
line with others of equal grade High
prices for common stocks never influence
preferred stocks to any great extent,
because the dividend on the senior issue
is limited, while that on the common is

cause both are sensitive to earnings 1t
IS our opinion that the latter have a
better future, however. because that
company has been granted increases,
and it appears doubtful if the Third

at least.

UNNECESSARY NEWSPAPERS

The publisher of the Idaho County
Free Press, last Saturday, purchased al
public auction, to derray accumulated
storage charges, the printing plant OF
the defunct Salmon River Sun, al
Whitebird. The plant is now being
removed to Grangeville and will be
iunked.
The printing outfit, which has been
in storage for several years, while
bought for a fraction of its original
value, was not acquired as an invest
ment, nor because the equipment would
be of value in the plant of the Free
Press at Grangeville. The outfit is
small and out-of-date and very little
of it could be used to advantage in a
modern weekly newspaper office of
today.
The plant was purchased, rather than
to permit it to remain in Whitebird,
with possibility that it would later
be acquired by some person with more
ambition than sound business judgment
who would attempt to resurrect
a newspaper which several times
has been a failure. Such attempt
would be a drain on the public of the
Salmon River country, and would fill
no useful purpose, yet the public
would be morally bound to support
the venture, so long as it kept out of
bankruptcy. Grangeville papers are
always eager to serve the Salmon river
country in every possible way.
Tendency in the newspaper business
today is to eliminate useless publica- !
tions, which represent duplication of
effort, with no particular benefit to the
community in which they are publish
ed. With elimination of useless dupli-
cation in newspaper publication, better
papers can be produced in communities
where enough business exists to assure
one newspaper a decent chance to be-
come n substantial concern, where
otherwise several are hanging by the
nerest threads that keep the sheriff
md foreclosure away.
When cost of removing the plant
If the old Salmon River Sun from
to Grangeville is betrayed,
when the material is sorted, classified,
md boxed for shipment to the type
founders, to be sold for junk, and when
'rieght on the outfit from Grangeville
o Spokane or Portland is paid, in ad
lition to the price at which the outfit
vas bid in, it is doubtful whether
nore than enough money will be de-
ived from the sale than is necessary
o meet expenses, yet it is believed
hat the course pursued was to the
est interests of all

HELP THE FIREMEN

Grangeville fremen will hold their
annual ball Friday evening. They
should be accorded whole-hearted sup
port of every person in the city. Tick
cts will be sold to include dancing and
supper, and the proceeds will be used
to apply on construction of new city
hall.
No more unselfish lot of men exists
then members of the volunteer fire de-
partment, who, serving wholly without
pay, always quickly respond to an
alarm of fire, and frequently suffer in
iuries as well as ruination of clothing
in fighting flames, and saving from des-
truction the property of others.
1t is worthy of note that the money
which the fremen will raise by sale
of tickets will not be distributed
among the firemen, though they would
be entitled to share in the proceeds,
but will be used in construction of a
substantial building to house the fire
apparatus and provide a place for the
meetings of the city council.
The mere excuse that one doesn t
dance will not be a proper excuse for
refusal to aid the fire ladies in this
public spirited enterprise. Let us show
our gratitude to the fremen.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1920
PAVEMENT REQUIRED

Program of paving and macadami
ling the principal streets of Grange
vile has been virtually decided upon
by the city council Although no def
mite action has yet been taken to or
der the pavement of Main street, or to
call bond election to meet the cost
of matchmaking side streets, the i'm
provement idea has reached such a
point of development that it is viz
tually safe to assert Main street will
be paved, while improvement of side
streets rests entirely on the attitude
taken by the people HJ the special
election to bond the city for the macad-
amizing Cost of pavement for Main
street will be assessed to abutting pro-
perty.
Decision of the city council to en-
bark upon a paving program is com
and no doubt will meet with
the approval of majority of the tax
payers of the city. In order that
may take her proper place

as pavement, concrete sidewalks and

1t would not be fitting to deny that
at the present time the city of Grange

yards, and occasional tumble-down
shaeks, presents an mattractive APP

the outlook and seek a location else
where, declaring Grangeville presents
an altogether unsatisfactory appear
ance, without going to the bottom of
actual business conditions here.
1t is not the purpose of this article
to paint a despairing picture of local
conditions, nor to exggarate on them,
but simply to call attention to the
almost complete lack of civic pride
which heretofore has existed in
Grangeville, and to suggest that the
public uphold the city council in its
plans to remedy situation which can
not much longer exist if Grangeville is
to progress.

daring and adventure, and finally of
a great joy. Zane Gray has more of
the epic spirit than any other living
American.

September reveals Mr.. Swinnerton
as the most flawless artist among the
young English noveIists. Fresh, orig
inal and very interesting. It is subtle,
"a love story of souls rather than of
bodies.
1.-The Tidal Wave" Ethel NJ Dell.
The longer story which gives the vol
ume its title concerns an artist whose
fascinating personality overcomes the

sturdy fisherman lover.
"Sir Harry" Archibald Marshall. To
read one of his novels is like being
introduced into a pleasant home.
Foes" Mary Johnston. A vivid
tale of the Scottish moors, and rebel
lion of wonderful devotion turned to
lasting hate. A thrilling struggle to a

THE Undying Fire" III. G.. Wells.

conflict as the theme of his novel.
This he has made vivid and compell-
ing through characters drawn with his
usual penetration and insight and
through incidents of a highly dramatic
nature. Man must fight and move
forward because there is some God
given thing in his heart that impels
him. This is Mr.. Wells message back
