FOOLS AND THEIR MONEY

DEOPLE Of Western Pennsylvania
! having exchanged $lOo'Ooo,oo(
worth Of Liberty Bonds for stocks that
are alleged to be practically worthless,
q movement has been started to check
this sort of investment by educating
people to the policy expressed by the
phrase "See your banker first" There
nrobablv is not much hope Of success,
for the mah or woman Wiz is such an
"easy mark" as to exchange Liberty
Bonds for u pknown securities is prob
ably too den pc to absorb the idea OF
taking good counsel before acting. Il
should be obvious to a mere child that
if an agent fot ''United Airless' wants
to exchange his stock Tor Liberty
Bonds, he must consider the bonds OF
greater value, and if they are of great
er value to tfN agent or his company
then they must be of greater value to
the prospective victim. That is such a
simple proposition that the man or
woman who car or won't see it is past
hope Of protection from banker. Still,
the campaign may open the eyes Of a
few, and, if so. it is worth while.

POTASH smADE IN AMERICA

0NE of the publicity agents for the
~ importers Of foreign potash pic
tures the effect Of duty on potash as
creating desert of American farm
land" His deep solicitude Tor the
american farmer is touching, indeed.
BuA the American farmer has good
sense enough to know that the publicity
agent is being paid by foreign potash
producers and that his real interests
are foreign and not American.
It is possible, and probable, but by nc
means certain, that American farmers
can get their potash cheaper from for
eign countries under free trade than
from American potash producers under
protection. One thing absolutely GER
tain is that the potash importers will
charge the American farmer all they
can for fertilizers. The importers are
not philanthropists, by any means.
Thev make their price just as low as
thew are compelled 20 maze it, and nc
lower. They go just. under the price
the American producer of potash must
charge, and they do that only so long
as necessary to put 7 e American pro-
ducer out of business. When they
have the American industry ruined,
they put their prices up again.
The probabilities are that the best in
terest of the American farmer will be
promoted by the establishment OF 8
strong American potash industry which
will form competition with the i'm
porters. However that may be, this
country cannot operate its industries
sue dcessfully on free trade policy. and
if We are to have protection for Ameri-
can\ farm products. American fruits,
nuts, livestock, cotton, and manufac-
tureh goods, it is unfair to deny reason
able protection to our potash industry.
If wa are to destroy the potash indus
trysaAd buy fertilizers abroad, why MOI
close tup all our other industries and
buy all products abroad where we can
buv them cheaper than at home. Live
and ley live, is the true projections
principle.

Why Chinese Fruits Are Fine.

Some of the Chinese fruits, cunning.
ly cOaxed and lovingly cherished
through many centuries, are said by
experts to be delicious. There Is an
orange grown in China that is report
ed to surpass in sweetness and deli
cacy any of the oranges to which the
people of Europe or of America are
accustomed; and 1t may be grown in
places where the temperature falls 20
degrees below the freezing point.
There is also peach unlike any
thing to which the West is accus-
toned, and a winter muskmelon that
will appeal irresistibly to the Euro
pean palate. This melon is at its best
in December and January. There are
many other good things in China to
which Europeans will doubtless be in
troduced In time. OF some of the
choice Chinese dishes, such as birds
nest soup and the like, there are bet
ter things In reserve. The fruits are
described as surprising those of any
country.
