Memorial Day, 1921,

In Flanders Fields springtime has
come again,
with rain and leaf and buds serene
ly red
Decking In natures bounteous, kindly
way,
The hallowed ground where rest our
soldier dead.
This Memory Day the soil of wounded
France
Receives the homage of a countless
host.
For Graded in her bosom now she holds
The gallant youth whom Allied ma
tions lost.
No more they'll hear at eve the bugles
blow,
Or see the welcome CLEAN of honey
tiers;
Their marching feet are free from
aching strain;
Tney snail not need the urge or Old
desires.
Oh That those pilgrams from thous-
and ports,
Who journey forth to view this sa-
cred ground,
May fair conceive and truly under
stand
The sacrifice they made ere peace
was found.
Let them forever lie there in the spot
Where, facing the foe, their life's
sun set,
And we, in keeping faith with thosC
who fought,
Cherish their memory! Let us moi

exhibit more courage in five minutes
than the average man could dig up in
a hundred years.
"There are scores of different kinds
of courage in this world, and you
can't expect one man to have them
all. A man may tremble and cringe
when threatened with physical vio-
lence, and yet stand up serene and
magnificent when the assessor comes

than that sort of moral courage.
"There used to be blacksmith In
this town who had a wide reputation
as n fire eater. He wasn't afraid of
anything, people said. If he heard OF
a promising bruser anywhere in the
countryside, he couldn't rest until he
had mixed things with him. And he
didn't ask for purses or other induce
ments. He engaged in combat just
because he loved it, and was happiest
when his nose was knocked to one
side, and his eyes were bunged up so
that he couldn't see whether he was
going or coming. He acted the hero on
several occasions, rescning people from
burning buildings, and saving gents
who were drowning and his nerve
became byword.
"Well, in the fullness Of time his
teeth went wrong and his head swelled
up until II looked like squash. He
bought about d million things at the
drug store, and they wouldn't relieve
the pain. The doctor told him he
could have his suiferings ended in five

Australian Conditions
Continue to Improve
Wool Movement Better, but
Meat Industry and Mining
Are Still Depressed

Although the figures of Australia's
foreign trade for September are not yet
available. the indications are that both
imports and exports will be a little
larger than they were in August and
that the value of the exports will con-
tinue to be in excess of imports, ac-
cording to a cablegram from Trade
Commissioner j. w. Sanger, Melbourne.
The foreign trade for August was prac-
tically the same as for July, the value
of exports totalingA f9 ,391 900 and i'm
ports 37,341 900. compared with $780,
600 and 100000 respectively for
August, 1920. Shipments of wheat dur
ing the four weeks ended October d
totaled 100000 bushels, bringing the
total shipped since January l to 49,
100000 bushels, and leaving the balance
to be shipped about 21,0O0OOo bushels.
few sales have been made outside
the pool
The wool situation has been greatly
improved, for it is not only expected
that the October sales will clear the
192O-'21 crop, in preparation for han
ding the new crop, which has already
begun to arrive at the pots, but the
picers are also firmer The stocks of
"Bawra" wool on hand and unsold Sep
tember 80 total 1 1,489,000 bales. The
meat situation continues to be very ad-
verse; as is also the condition in the
mining industry.

Cuestion---Kindly advise what advantage
POND registerabie as to both principal
and interest has over n bond registerable
as to principal only. VIII you kindly name
drawing about & per cent interest prefer
ably tax-free and maturing from twenty
70 thsrty years? Please advise the safest
way OF keeping bonds have heard of
officials and ycggmen.--O. L.. A.
Answer-A bond registerable as to
both principal and interest, or fully
registered, as it is generally called, is
registered on the books of the com
pany. without coupons, the interest
being ordinarily mailed by check to
the registered holder of the bond. The
chief advantage of the fully registered
bond is that the holder is as fully
protected as possible against loss. A
bond registered as to principal only is
transferable only on the books of the
company, like fully registered bond,
but the interest is paid in the same
way as on an ordinary coupon bond,
upon the presentation of the coupons.
The coupons pass by delivery only,
just as in the case of an unregistered
coupon bond. Practically all the high
grade bonds of American railroad and
industrial corporations may be obtained
In either coupon or registered form.
We do not think that any safer way
of keeping bonds than in the safe de-
poslt vaults of good safe deposit COM
pany has ever been devised, and we
have never heard of such vault being
robbed either by trusted officials or by
yeggmen.

Answer = We fully share your good
opinion of American Telegraph and
Telephone stock and think that it
would be an entirely proper investment
for part of your funds. Of the other
stocks you mention the only ones we
think belong in the investment class
are Corn Products preferred and Lig-
gett q Myers preferred. Great North
ern preferred, as you probably know,
is preferred only in name, the COM
pany's common stock having been re-
tired. 1t has paid its dividends for the
current year largely from surplus. The
same applies to Northern Pacific
Atchison common is probably the best
of the railroad common stocks you
name, but all are directly dependent
upon earnings, and a purchase of them
at this time would be a speculative
operation, in our opinion.

Mr.. Spoontz's Offer

~, Question-The inclosed was in my mail

but ! am afraid of 1t. win you kindly
express an opinion? VIII you also let me
know what you think of Radio Corpora
tion of America stock? Would you buy
this for long pull +. r.
Answer-We will say for Mr.. Mar
shall Spoontz that he has produced
the most attractive oil elite rature"
that we have seen yet. 1t looks like
a sure thing-for him. According to
the signed statement you send with
the money, you give it to him-there
is no paper wasted on stock certificates
or anything like that. You simply give
him your money. He does what he
pleases, and if he strikes a gusher he
undertakes to send you half the profits.
If he doesn't make something out of
your money, why that is all there is
to it. You have no comeback, you have
given him your money. We suspect
your interest in Radio Corporation
stock is not very keen after having
digested Mr.. Spoontz's highly colored
tales of sudden riches. We regard it
as speculative-not quite SO specula-
tive as an investment" with MIR.
Spoontz, but still speculative.
