Answer - The investment that you
have is high grade and meets your re-
quircments as well as they can be met,
We think. We would suggest, in addi-
ton, a Chicago Union Station 6ls per
cent bond due 1868; a Canadian North
ern T per cent bond, due 1910, guaran-
teed principal and interest by the
Canadian government, and a Kingdom
of Denmark IS. due 1915. 1t is thought
that the Chicago Union Station bonds
are legal for trust funds, but we can
not pass on legal question, and you
would have to get the opinion of coun-
sci on this question: The opinion Of
counsel is that the new Northern Pa
cific Gas, into which the Northern
Pacific Great Northern bonds are con-
yertible, are legal for savings banks,
but they would cease to be so if the
Northern Pacific should pass its divi-
dcnds OF the bonds that are officially
listed as legal for trustees and saw

Der of the family to the Grand Ouch

mother this week received from the
Grand Duchess a letter thanking her
for the copy of The Putnam Patriot,

able interest. The letter was called
to the attention of the editor of The
Patriot and It led to some interesting
investigation of The Patriots mailing
list.
Not only does home paper like The
Patriot find its way into the hands Of
royalty but il also goes out weekly to
the sons and daughters of Windham
county who have made their homes in
far distant countries and thus keep in
communication with home happenings
and affairs.
For instance, each week The Patriot
takes its long way to South Rhodesia,
Africa. where a former Windham
county man is working among the ma
tives in the veldts. Again, number
of copies 90 to Ireland. where The Pa
triot, for all the rebellion and blood
shed, arrives weekly To tell of rela-
tiyes and friends in America.
This summer an extraordinary num-
Der Of Patriots have been going TO
Europe. Without exception, summer
residents who have turned their faces
to the east for few months have
asked that The Patriot follow them,
