Answer-American Power and Lirht

Gently quoted at 102 bid, 1881 asked.
They are callable on thirty davs' notice
on any interest date up to and in

to and including May /, 1881, at los,
and thereafter at one-half of l per cent
less each year to maturity. Fownes

tember l. 1886, and are redeemable on
any interest date at 1o71s. Thy are a
small issue, presumably not readily

opinion, a good investment, and YOU
have correctly stated the convertible

1922, at 103; up to April l, 1924, at

that in attempting to buy and sell

much as you would by sticking to sound

own at the present time about 81 900 Vic

ana buying longterm city or state bonds ?
Wul you please mention several that will

tax In that state &C. A. W.
Answer-The Public Library presum-
ably will have either Moody's or a

Utilities and Industrials, and in these
manuFls you will find the details in
regaro to deduction of per cent tax,
etc, and Pennsylvania 4-mills tax for

wise to sell your short term Victory
notes and to invest the money in sound
municipal and state bonds. City of

as late maturities as 1882, are selling
at price to yield on the asked price

Nervous About Belgian Ronds

Question--Do you think it advisable. on
account OF European conditions. to sell
purchased and invest in safer bonds? Do
you think it is unwise for worlAng
woman to put nearly Nil her life savings.
Grand Trunk -. f. NJ
Answer-It is very difficult to pre-
diet the outcome of the present Euro
pean situation, but we suggest that if
you feel uneasy about your Belgian
rs you sell them and invest the pro
ceeds in State of Queensland rs, 1941,
now selling at about the same price.
These bonds, we think, will not be af-
fected by the European difficulties.
The Grand Trunk bonds, guaranteed by
the Canadian government, are a first

good chance to appreciate in value as

only $50 In the present market? Is not
th.s low yield a sign OF its high grade

Answer-We think that any good

would be as readily marketable as the
majority Of listed bonds, and have an
equal chance to appreciate in value

quite right in thinking that the low

catching the motor trade is to note the
license numbers, look them up at the
city hall or police station on some trip
to town, and then drop them postal
cards calling attention to the advan-
tage of carrying home bushel OF
this and that product on their next
trip. This form of appeal is more
effective if the farm has distinctive
name, as a constantly increasing num-
Der of farms have. One thing essen
tial to building up even a transient
trade in farm products is that the
prices shall be reasonable, preferably
a shade below city market prices
and that the goods shall be of honest
quality. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed on the latter feature. There
is, of course, a temptation to reason
that the same customer will not come

The farmer has to market his Trod-

the city, it will he carefully inspected

lated by supply and demand. If he
will place his product in such posi-
ton as to attract and arrest the pass

and quality such that the m0tOriSt
wants to come that way again or tells
his friends To stop, he is on his way
to a business that NAV be made sea-

the farmer keeps on hand a supply of
suitable bags or packages in which to
handle his products, it will mean many

cultivation. Holland is the most sys-

more elaborate methods than any other
country In the world. The numerous
sounds that indent the coast of HOl-
land, particularly in the region of the
River Scheldt. afford excellent facili-
ties for the propagation Of the oyster
and enable the country to conduct the
most successful oyster industry In Eu-
rope. Pubic dredging Is not permitted,

There are approximately 100000
automobiles in the United States and
there are almost that many farmers.
In this year, when the most expen-
sive crop ever raised by the American
farmer seems likely to pile up on his
hands for lack of a profitable market,
way is suggested to reduce surplus
ny attracting automobile trade direct
to the farms.
Most city automobile owners drive
into the country once week or more,
and every farm located on an autOmo-
bile road has dozens or hundreds Of
possible customers for its fruits, vege-
tables, poultry and eggs passing its
gate every day. The war made the
market basket popular, and the ordi-
nary automobile owner who keeps
house would be perfectly willing to
take home bushel or more of pro-
duce if by so doing he could lessen his
living expenses.

many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been de-
veloped to the full measure of success.
One Of the principal difficulties is that
the autoist does not see the stand I'M
til he is abreast of it, after which he
must make up his mind and check
his machine. Then. in nine cases out
Of ten. he concludes that there will be
another stand farther along and that
il is not worth while to turn around
and go back. One farmer in Pennsyl-
-vania solved this difficulty by placing
a series of signs along the entire half
nile front of his farm. These greeted
the mOtOriSt.
"Fresh Fruit One-Fourth Mile"
"Sweet Cider so Rods"
"Fresh Comb Honey so Rods"
"Fresh Vegetables 40 Rods"
"Fresh Eggs 20 Rods"
The motorists eye thus was at
tracted and lie had time to make up
his mind, and in a large number of
instances stopped and made a pur-
chase. The signs were inexpensive
