Bonds and Stocks Both Attract Woman

investing $4,000 in Victory bonds is 5000

you advise me to buy another bond or two
preferred stocks? Can l buy a bond thut
had thought OF two railroad equipment
ponds. WIN you suggest two equipment
bonds that you consider good, do you
think General Electric debenture per
cent or Westinghouse Electric & Manutac-
turing rs safer? For the preferred stock,
American Bank Note and United States
has been highly recommended. Which do
you think Is best when YOU have a small
amount to invest and wish a fair return,
preferred stocks? Can you tell mo any
thing about Welch's Grape juice pre-
fsrred? / have an opportunity to buy
few shares.v-Miss A. M. B.
Answer--We think equipment bonds
are high grade investments, if they are
issued by strong companies. We would
suggest Canadian National 7 Der cent
certificates, due 1885, yielding about
per cent at present prices; Kansas City
Southern s per cent certificates, due
1924, yielding around Z per cent, and
Southern Pacific Z per cent certificates,
due 1885, yielding between 61s and z
rather better than the two bonds you
name, though they are good, too. The
American Radiator Company has been
an exception to the general rule of in
dustrials, and in 1920 was prosperous.
Either that or United States Steel pre-
ferred Is, in our opinion, a good in
vestment. 1t is impossible to make a
general rule about preferred stocks
and bonds. You want to have some of
each, 80, when you get $1,000, study the
list Of what you already have and make
the new investments so as to diversity
the list. We would not advise woman
investing in Welch's Grape Juice pre-
ferred
Seeks 8 Per Cent ON $4,000
ousstion---Give me your advice how to
invest $4,000 at per Gently. p. II.
Answer-We think that If You ask 8
per cent on your $4,000 the following
will meet your requirements with as
high degree of safety as you can res-
sona5ly expect: Three Kingdom of
Norway IS, due 1910, recently selling
at 1904, yielding almost s per cent;
two Kingdom of Belgium 8 per cent
bonds, due 1941, recently selling at 90.
yielding 8.18 per cent current interest;
two De Laval Separator per cent
bonds, due 1881, selling recently at
about par. and ten shares Of Standard
selling at lot; American Telephone and
Telegraph common, paying per cent
and recently selling at 106, and ten
shares of American Agricultural Chem
ical per cent preferred, recently SELL
ing at 10.

FIGHT FOR SECOND REFORM

The passing out of the old peniten- tiary commission, and the appointment of an honorary board by Governor Me Rae. marked the beginning of needed reforms iii this state.
 The second battle is now on, with the senate today considering the Wais- Emory bill to abolish the present cor nora tion Commission. If there was one reason to urge for the abolishment of the old penitentiary commission, there are a dozen reasons why the present Corporation Commission should meet with a similar fate.
 The old penitentiary commission while dismal failure ill its handling of affairs at the great penal institution the commissioners themselves at least were not lazy" and their several du- ties necessarily kept them on the go
 But this here thing commonly called Corpora ton Commission represents a ..flowery bed of ease upon which lounges a high salaried commission whose "wee small voice. has never yet sounded a note in the interest of the tax paying public.
 Let is pass out like the old peniten tiary board-then let the attention ol the legislatu ture be directed to the Stat' Highway Department.

CORN ON A CHECKER-BOARD.

A mathematician has figured that 1t would require the staggering number of 9223, ,372, ,036, ,S54, ,775,s0S grains of corn to cover a checker-board, placing 7one grain on the first square, two on the second. four on the third, eight on the fourth and so on until all of the 64 souares had been covered. That, according to Successful Farming, would amount to over two quadrilllon bushels, and 676,S6O years would be raouirpd for the United States to pro duee it at the present rate of produc- iton That would be an enormous quantity of corn--also some checker boa rd. wouldn't it?
