The local newspaper IS always pleading for the sup port of the home merchant and yet of them slowly starving to death.
 X western country paper has just died where father and sons and wife lived starvation incomes for forty
 The business and the banker appreciate the home paper that fights radcasm in all its forces in campaign and then forget it.
 The office seekers inclined to throw something to the newspaper when campaign Is and they want the support of the voter.
 But once in office and the country editor is rapidly forgotten and he gets off well if laws not enacted put him out of business.
 Better support of the home paper would be the great wisdom in view of the time coming when there will be mighty struggle to overthrow American institutions.
 But sticking to the job on starvation incomes is the greatest degree of fooshness that newspaper could be known display. The trials of the game many. and riches seldom the reward, but the editor who has common than to stick to sarva- ton wages is deserving of no sympathy from his fellow Honest labor Is worthy of honest and none but the fool will accept any less

SHOOT THE FREE PRESS AGENT

During the past few years the idea has g1own mp the bureaucratic side of government that all
 spent for advertising by the government should be spent in the big city papers or the magazines.

These highly paid press agents pay for their work through their ability to get this advertising 1rom the country press frce they could do that, they would be out of pob They the patriotism of the country press, and 1t is freely given Thus the country editor their salaries The idea that it don cost anything to set type buy paper and ink. pay post that has been doubled: pay salaries that hay" bene doubled to have been in circulation for and Is capitalized by these sharks both private and governmental If vou went into grocery store and smiled at the yroceryian and said: Il pick few things frre I'll do 1t myself trouble you and if they do any good I'll let you know the Sroceryman would suggest that the goods cost him money why not pay for them. and probably would kick you of the establishment The government will send thousand miles collect ten cents due 1t and lose billions selling stuff proeers, but cent for legitimate advertising that would pay thousand per cent the investment.

ARIZONA WITHOUT EFFECTIVE MEASURE

Arizona is of the few of the union which has no legislation covering the activities of the prostitute or her customers According to the American Social Fly glene association this state is without the most effective lc gal weapons that have been devised for repressng pOs tuition and preventing the spread of vcerea diseases and to that extent its efforts improve its social moral and health conditions have been seriously handicapped.
 model law for the repression of prostitution has prepared and presented by the federal government to the legislatures of the several states Eleven have fol- lowed the recommendations of the government and have remodeled their prostitution laws according this stand ard form These Connecticut Delaware. Maine Maryland New Hampshire. North Carolina, North Dako ia, Ohio. Rhode Island. Vermont and Wisconsin. New York and Virginia have adopted part of the law Every state in the Union except South Carolina TcnneSsee Ar kansas and Arizona and Oregon have enacted some egis atiOn pcnazng of activities of the prostitute and her customers

ON THE WRONG TRACK

In a recent editorial the Silver Belt. pf Miami. i'll asking for support ofthe bill seeking SOOO0O state aid the GlobeSuperor road makes statement to the ef feet that the of Cocse should not object to the Legislature passing such bill because state aid paid for and constructed the Fabank Tombstone road. the Doug las-east road TonbstoncBensnn and the Benson-Na ai road.
 The writer of the editorial referred has been ms- informed and is entirely wrong hence the editorial very misleading, since not cent of state aid has ever gone into any road or bridge in Cochise county.
 The truth is that every piece of road built by the and under state supervision built with COchlse cOtys cold caslltaX money every cent of It, which came from seveny-ye per cent fund.- and the only aid Cochise has received other than from her lrsc was where matched Federal Aid.
 The Silver Belt should retract it's first statement in order that the record may be clear for wait the world to know we built all of our good roads with own money and Uncle Sam's 5O-5O aid and ONE CENT came from the state any other county in the state
 Cochise county wanted good roads, dug down into her ieans'' and built them and now has them.
 Let the other counties do likewise instead of saddng the burden on the entire state.
 The statement of the Silver Belt should be corrected through pure fairness and truthfulness.

GETTING INSPIRATION

A writer whose daily work is read from coast to coast was asked by friend how he got his inspiration for such an amount of readable matter each day. He said that most of it from his contact with the people, That he studied those about him. their interests and their likes and dislikes.
 It was Pope who said ''The proper study of nlan- kind is man," and the little mishappen msantrope. de- harred as he was by his physical condition from many of he activities of man, yet knew his fellows better than many whe move amongst them daily.
 There is inspiration for any work equal tc asso- 9;aton with men-real men, those who do things, men whom we meet in daily walk. And to get inspiration one must associate wit hall classes not confne himself to any one line of work one class The rich the poor broad gauge track and the fellow in the strait and row way Each give-ns inspiration if look for it. Some will point us the way not to go but there is good in a and by seeking it gain strength for our.c,s ir our own work

and selling recently at $685. as sound,

and selling recently at SO IS as sound,
good investment in the long run.
There is one consideration that we
would call to your attention. The boil
weevil has been steadily extending it's
ravages in the southeastern cotton
growing country, until now this year it
has spread over the entire southeast
ern territory. 1t is theoretically pos
sible to destroy this destructive in
sect, but it may take some years to do
so, and in the mean time much curtailed
production Of cotton might seriously ad-
versely affect the Southern Railway,
not because the Southern carries so
much cotton as freight, but because it
is dependent for both freight and pas
senger earnings on the prosperity of
the South. This would not, we think,
affect the ultimate safety of your bond,
which is a direct first lien, but it might
adversely affect the market price of
the bond, and you place marketability
as one of the two prime considerations
Equally easily marketable and without
the one possible adverse factor pres
ent in the Southern Railway situation
are Southern Pacific, San Francisco
Terminal first mortgage As, due 1850;
Colorado G Southern first As, due 1929,
yielding 6.29 per cent, if held to ma
turity; or, better yet, Central Pacific
first refunding as, due 1949. recently
selling at 76ls, yielding 5.E3 per cent,
or almost as much as the Southern
Railway IS.

Higher Return on Foreign Bonds

Question-Will you be good enough to
advise ao,..'s me as TO the Investment of $1,000
thirty, and hold a few shares OF American
Telephone and Telegraph some Sears Roe
puck notes and some Swiss bonds totallng
$4,000 desire good rate OF return, and
have about decided, from study Of your
column and the market quotations, that a
better return is to be had from foreign
ties You have mentioned the possibility
OF gaining income by sacrificing market
ability. What securities can you name
for my benefit with that In mind? Among
the foreigns, which DO you recommend :?
Is 1t better to pay a premium to conflne
the choice to bonds selling at or below
par? Would be rash to buy a few shares
OF some stock, such as General Electric :?
Immediate return is of little interest TO
me, for shall renvest the income. That
being the case would some low coupon
long term bond be best and what ones :?
What do you thing of Goodyear Ss? Are
their peculiar features Objectionable p
Answer-Your thought that higher
rate of return is to be had from many
foreign government bonds than from
the best grade of American corpora
tion bonds is, of course correct. But
this higher return reflects the pos
slblhty, which must always be con-
sldered In connection with foreign gov
ernment bonds. of political trouble.
1t is also, in the case of European
bonds, a reflection Of the uncertainties
which European government finance
faces in connection with the poss ibility
of German default in reparations pay
ments. These considerations have in
huenced US to some degree of caution
IN recommending the bonds of foreign
governments to people of small means.
You can often obtain a somewhat
higher return by sacrificing market
ability. As we'll secured bonds which
come in this category we suggest F. s.
Royster Guano Company first mort
gage sinking fund IS, 1941, secured by
first mortgage on all the property
directly owned by the company and by
the pledge of the securities of it's sub
salaries, and Central. Steel first mort
gage sinking fund IS, 1941, not callable
and secured by direct closed first
mortgage on the entire fixed property
of the company. The Goodyear sink
ing fund first mortgage IS, 1871, are a
wellsecured bond, il, our opinion; the
debenture Ss of 1881. recently issued
are not so well secured, but are a good
security in their class. 1t does not
seem to us that General Electric stock
would be exactly the sort of investment
you should have. although you might
we'll supplement- high grade bonds with
a few shares of 1t. If you prefer low
coupon rate bonds selling below par
we think that there are number of
railroad and public utility issues which
are we'll secured. Among them we
might mention Montana Power first 5s,
1943, selling about go, to yield 5.75:
Virginian Railway 6s, 1862, selling al
81, to yield about $40: Colorado &
Southern refunding and extension l15s,
