ooMAENDABLE ASPIRATION.

y. p-A few months ago / read
An editorial on THRIFT. 1t related to
young man whose ambition was to
own the big white house on the hill"
He started well and by hard work
and thrift watched his bank account
reach the $1,000 mark.
Thsn he began to look around for
a way by which he could put his
money out at a greater rate Of inter-
est. He invested unwisely in stocks
and eventually lost both his money
and the hope OF owning the house on
the hill.
Now !. like this young man. am
trying for the house on the hill I
nave accumulated 81. 900 and want to
invest IL to the best possible advan-
tage.
But pronting by the. experience of
the young man in the editorial I
don't want to lose my money nor my
nope OF eventually having enough to
ouy and pay for q home. What do
you advise.
Answer-There are two safe cour.,s
open for you. You may withdraw the
money from the bank and invest 1t
In good bond and then start in to
accumulate another $1,000, which
may be invested in an additional |
bond, and SO on until you have the
requisite amount of capital necessary
to pay for home. but II you want the
home now and are willing to pay for
IT on the instalment plan you should
confer with building and loan asso
citation.
There are many in Washington.
An association will allow you to
pay for the property over a period oil
ten or twelve years, Pay the thou
sand dollars down.
Our advice, however. would be to
save up second 1000 before buy.

money you now have in a high grade

you sell at q loss? Will company
ever pay a dividend again? What
can you tell me about the concern?
Answer-Internatisn Nickel stock
is not as hopeless as the low price
makes It appear to be.
For a couple of years now the COM
pany has been idling along with just
enough production to keep the or
ganixation intact, owing to the gen
eral business depression causing q re-
duced demand for nickel
Nickel Is Essentially an Industrial
metal. like copper and zinc and lead.
and until the market once more gets
into It's old stride II is idle to expect
resumption of dividends.
In nine months to December 81.
1920. the company earned $1.33 per
share on common stock against S3
cents the previous nine months. The
June, 1919, dividend was passed.
1nternational Nickel was organised
In 1902. In the past ten years profits
from operations and available for divi-
dends totaled S66.21410s. equal to an
annual average of 1914 per cent on
approximately 10000, 900 common
stock.
We do not think this is a favorable
time to sell.

RAILROAD DIVIDENDS.

Those endeavoring to arouse enthus-

road movement are finding it difficult
in face of the deferring of many dIvi-
dends.
The most important action Of this
kind will be taken when the Hill di-
rectors meet next month. Should they
for any reason reduce or postpone
payments ii will put serious
obstacle in the path Of the railroad
bulls.
Little opposition is anticipated from
the unskilled labor group to the re-

HAULING DOWN THE COLORs.

When some traders go after certain
issues they use many methods for
causing declines. One of the most
popular of these is making public
stories OF large sums which they are
willing to bet that the stock will break
to a certain figure in specified time.
This sometimes creates selling by
many traders who are permitted to
hear of 1t. The usual practice when
the bet is called was illustrated by
a trader who has been playing in a
certain tobacco stock recently. He
let 1t be known that he would bet
$4,000 the stock would decline ten
points in a week.
Those interested IN the issue i'm

amount mentioned and wer told

Immediately caused a sharp break in

that the payment is only postponed
