WHY THE PREACHER IS MEAT
 FOR "CON' MEN
Follow His Leadership in Finan- cial Investments
"Sell some to a preacher first. 7

"Sell some to preacher first. Just why this should be heavily un- derscored as one of the most impor- tant steps in the campaign of the young stock salesman, known a gen. eration or so ago as a green goods
 man." will not be immediately appar- ent to the uninitiated.
 Is not the minister one of the most poorly paid of our quasi-public ser
 wants? Has he not therefore but little money to invest?
 "Quite so' would say the handbook
 on How to Get Rich on Phony Stock were not this line of instruction al ways dispensed verbally instead of
 by printed page.
 "Quite so. The preacher gets lit tie pay, and has still less to invest.
 Nevertheless, sell him some, even if only few shares"
 But why, Oh wise instructor, should I waste time selling these few shares when l might be selling many?"
 Because forsooth, Oh Earnest Pu- PIl, yoN VIII SCil Aiooy O oi6 ios oS
 being able to tell people that their preacher has bought few" But why shoud people care what stock their preacher has bought :? His studies are all of the spiritual, | his activities in promoting the moral. Why should any one imagine that
 his minister is judge of an invest ment ?"
 "They should not but they do, Oh Pupil. Tell man to ask his garage
 man what is the matter with his ear,
 and he will do so after he has made | it worse by his own tinkering. Tell
 man to get q plumber to fix his
 drains and he will do so. Teli a man to ask a banker whether
 stock is sound, and he will not, no
 not even after he has been many
 times stung. But tell him that his
 preacher has bought your stock and
 he will do likewise"
 That this old, old formula of the
 green goods man, the confidence
 man" and the ''phony stock salesman is still producing satisfactory results is apparent from the recent appear
 ance in religious organ of the al legged experience of minister who acquired himself an automobile and
 comfortable capital reserve by stock investments"
 One single line in the alleged ex- perience of the minister noted above
 was enough to exhibit the cloven hoof.
 "I could not even make payments on the Liberty Bonds for which l had
 subscribed" This is the most over worked part of the vocabulary of the worthless stock specialist. Don't buy Liberty Bonds, he says. 'They pay you only 41 ? percent. My se-
The Carlisle independent., 1920-04-01

curities will pay you 800 per cent" The only difference between this statement and the facts being that the Liberty Bonds will return you ex- actly 100 per cent of value when the time comes for the government to re- deem them, while the promoters of ferings will most likely represent 100 per cent loss long before that time.
 For the minister, as for the pro- fessional man in other lines and the business man whose own organiza- ton requires all his time to supervise there is but one investment which does not demand extensive investiga- ton before purchase.
 This is the government bond, whose security is undoubted, whose interest return Is certain, and which can al- ways be converted instantly into cash. cash.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LEADERS COM
 ING

A report of the religious survey of one of the most populous sections of Little Rock, containing three big churches and more than 1900 white people, showed only 23 per cent of them attending Sunday School. This is a large per cent as compared with the record of other sections of the country, and is challenge to the Sunday Schools of the nation. How to reach those not in Sunday School is one of the big problems that will be considered at the Thirty-second annual state convention of the Arkan- sas Sunday School Association, which is to convene April 20 for three days session, in the First M. E. church South. There are 42 county organi- cations affiliated with the State As sociation, and all of them are expect ed to have delegations present par ticipating in the deliberations.
 Some of the worlds greatest Sun day School talent will be on the pro- gram, including W. C. Pearce of Chi cago, H. A. Honline of Dayton, Ohio, Dr. W. E. Chalmers of Philadelphia, Mrs. Mary Foster Bryner of Peoria, H., Dr. W A. Brown of Evanston, H., and Mrs. Mary E. Furbish of Fort Worth, Texas. The musical di- rector will be L. P. Bloodworth, we'll known throughout the country as singing evangelist.
 It is expected there will be an at tendance of about 800 at the conven- tion. Local committees are arrang- ing to provide lodging and breakfast for all the delegates, and there will be interesting entertainment events. A reduced railroad fare of one and one third has been secured on all roads on the certificate plan. This should insure large attendance, in connection with the superior pro- gram that has been arranged.

BEWARE OF THIEVING LAW
 YERS

Red Cross Home Service officials at Southwestern Division headquar- ters at St. Louis have issued a warn ing cautioning former soldiers, sail ors and marines against profiteering lawyers who exact exhorbitant fees from the poor and ignorant for legal services of trifling character in con- nection with the filing of claims against the Government.
 ''It has come to the attention of the Red Cross," said Home Service official, "that among a certain class of attorneys formerly known as am bulance' chasers a practice has grown up of charging fees rangin from $100 to $250 for filing compensation cIalm3 of former soldiers against the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Naturally the only ones taken in by these sharp CTS are people of the poorest classes who are vastly unfamiliar with legal formalities.
 "A case in point is to be found in the illustration concerning a soldier whose claim, amounting to 5000, has been granted but who had been adjudged mentally incapable. It was necessary that guardian be appoint ed. The family went to a lawyer. He told them the court costs would amount to $50 which was about right. But then on top of that he exacted two more payments of $50 and final one of S25 for legal charges. The family was compelled to go out and borrow all this money which they paid for at usurious rate of interest. When they refused further payment the attorney notified them that it was all off, their claim had been dis allowed. At this point they commu- nicated with the Red Cross and mat satisfactorily.
 ''Now it is only fair that attorneys who handle such claims should be re- l imbursed to some extent for their time and trouble. Court costs in such cases do amount to about $50. Many people are unable to raise even that small amount and have to apply to the Red Cross for loan until their claim is paid. If persons who are about to press such claims will apply to the Home Service Section of the local chapter of the Red Cross they will be directed to competent attorneys of known integrity who will prosecute their claims eXpedi- l tiously at fair and equitable charges ,

Yellow Scourge In Mexico
CROP PROGRESS IN
STATE OF ARIZONA
REPORTED COOO

Favorable conditions attended the
harvesting of potatoes, wheat and
oats now we'll under way in the. dry
land sections of the State. Owing to
lack cf moisture at critical period
these crops have been greatly reduced
but the quality is generally good.
Much of the oats has been cut for
grain hay as it did not mature suf-
ficiently for threshing. Cotton pick
ing made good progress during the
week but owing to low night tenn
peratures the development of late
planted cotton was not entirely salts
factory. Cotton planted at a normal
period this spring fruited and open
ed earlier and more heavily than last
spring thus making the present sea-
son with it's early and late planted
cotton and restoring irregular ripen-
ng approximately an average sea-
son. Favorable reports as to the
progress of picking have been re-
ceived from the Parker and Yuma
sections where labor is plentiful and
