Answer-The City of Copenhagen
5'a notes have interest coupons pav-
able in United States gold. We con-
slider these notes good investment.
The Chinese Railway Hu-Kuanr per
cent notes, due 1851, are payable, prin-
cipal and interest, in United States
gold, at New York, at the Office of the
Shanghai Banking Corporation. The
bonds and interest coupons are in
British pounds. but payable in New
York at the rate of exchange Of the
day they are exchanged. They are
quoted at 40, which means a sl00 bond
is selling 5000 and pays at the pres
cnt rate of exchange about $3.50 a

The same is true of the Belgian twenty

cent notes are we'll secured and were
greatly oversubscribed when they were

;ssuc Of bonds l am ready 10 invest
so,ne money. but feel uncertain what 10
do was tolds that these bonds WI bring
up to 10 per cent II not more ana can

Answer-Distrust anybody that tells
YOU that you cant lose a penny in
an investment This is not true even
of high grade investments, and we
would not put the Raritan Refining
bonds in this class of high grade Sc
curitics. 1t is true that the bonds
have a chance to participate in proflts,
but this chance is speculative.

Public Utility Situation on the Mend

Question--Can you give me any infor-
nation about Butte Electric Railway s
per cent bonds due 1925? I have one on
which no interest has been paid in about
three years Some time ago I was offered
$500 for this bond. which is 1000 par
value do not know whether. IL 1t il.
held until maturity the face value viii
be paid or whether it. would be better to
sell at $500 and invest inan interest paw
ing bond Have you any advice to give ?
IS. d. G.
Answer-The Butte Electric Railway
earned only 1873 above expenses and
taxes in 1919, while its interest
charges amount to $4,000, and the COM
pany charged s6O,7S4 for depreciation,
making deficit for the year Of
SS7,S05. The company received permits
sion in August. 1919. to charge a Z
cent fare. ard in June. 1920, this was
increased to cents. 1t seems unlikely
that public utilities will have as hard
time in the next few years as they
have had in the last few years. Your
own decision depends on whether you
can afford to hold the bond for a time
without income from it or not.

that with the preferred and common dtvi-
dends a return of from "a to Sc per cent
a year can be obtained on ones money.
Can you tell me anything about this firm
and their promotions?-C. Il. F.
Answer-Do not buy stock from q
salesman who tells you thst the Con-
tnental Clay shares are absolutely
safe and profitable" As business
man (the inference is drawn from your
letter head you know that the pros
pect of profit always entails the risk
of a loss and you know that all human
enterprises, including the Continental
Clay Company. are subject to high
mortality averages, especially in their
earlier years. The chances of such
loss the salesman is knowingly ask
ing you to take, and when he says the
stocks are absolutely safe he is mis-
branding his goods. Until the Du-
biske statesmen stop these tactics
we seriously doubt whether it is
worth while to discuss the possible
merits of the various issues they ham
die. We have nothing against specula-
ton. All business is in some degree
speculative, new enterprises highly so.
Whether the buyer of stock gets his
fair proportion of the profits. or
whether the common stock IS divided
up so that the promoters get the lion
share in case of success. IS anothe r
question. But it is important.

Saturday night on the Kettle
River road one mile west Of

accident due to what Is believed
to be . defective steering ap.
paratus. The seven occupants
of the car miracuhusly escaped
being killed. and anyone seeihG
the condition Of the car when II
was towed into town Sunday
morning would wonder that they
were not all killed.
The car had just left the Soc
line crossing when it began act
ing queer and although they

about to turn over. they knew
nothing more until the car had
come to standstill. The car
was then laying on its side in

The car had a Deluxe top and

the accident happened. II i
believed. and no doubt is true
that but for the top which WA
on the car. and being strong
enough to uphold it - it made
its first turnover. the sever
