PaclAe general -. around ST. Chi
caGO Railways SIS Mt 63. II these
bonds are safe. please explain why
they are so low. -
Answer.-These bonds are not re-
arded as safe" and because they
are not so regarded they command
only low prices.
A bond, like merchandise, is worth
only what the public will pay for it,
High bond yields never spell safety.
Strictly speaking, there are no bar
gains in the investment market. any
more than there are bargains in mer-
cha 1dise.
The buyer of underpriced merchan-
disc may think he Is securing bar
gain. but in the strict sense of the
word. he is not. 1t is equally true that
the. buyer OF underpriced securities
wrongly thinks he is obtaining a bar
gain Investment.
The best of these bonds is Missos sri

tive, because the road is not a strong
one. The Frisco income 6s receive

BY MAX KASE,
Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, April 5.--The influence

GUM, as. we'll as the United States,
have demanded from the Mexican
government satisfactory explain

over of the Naica mines. about 125
miles south of Chihuahua, it de-

YANKEES OWN 40 FER CENT.
Only 40 per cent OF the Naice mines
are owned by Americans. State De-
partment officials said The remain
ing 10 par cent is distributed among
the nationals of the three countries
named, and some Mexicans. The
mines are said to be very productive
OF lead and silver.
1t is stated here that. although the
supreme court OF Mexico has passed
upon the case and it's decree gives
over the property to others than the
legal owners. this Government and
all other Governments Interested
have the international right OF de-
claring a denial of justice" and can
take up the question directly by
diplomacy. The duty of the owners
appears to have been fulfilled by
their exhausting all their legal rem
edies up to and including appeal to
the highest court in Mexico.
JAPAN GETS CONCESSIONS.
The Naica mines case seems to he
of the same stripe as that of the
concessions to favorites OF the Mexican
government in Lower California, where
by concessions were turned over to jap
anese syndicates. which fact gave
Japan certain privileges she has
long desired on the Western Pacific
coast.
In the Naica case il is alleged in the
brief filed by Franklin X. Polk, former
Secretary of State, for the American
professionals, that the mines have been
awarded to Rogue Estrada, brother
OF the present Mexican minister OF
war. and General Hill, recently minis
ter OF war.
The case of the American claimants,
with all their charges of illegal &C

BUYERS COAL STRIKE
THREATENING FAMINE
Chicago Loan Banks Encourage
Purchase of Coal at Rates
Existing at Present
(By United Press)

Chicago, May 27. - A buyers
strike, now prevalent is precipitating
the country into coal famine similar
to that Of last year, according to
Amedee J. Casey, editor Of coal
magazine, here today.
So serious is the condition, that
Chicago loan banks are devising sys-
TENS Of loaning money to consumers
in an effort to encourage purchase Of
coal at the reasonable rates said to be
existing at this time. Unless coal is
purchased now, Casey said, an inevi-
table famine will take place during
the fall and winter. The railroads
now are in a position to handle coal
shipments, he added. In the fall and
winter months. shipments from the
mine will be more infrequent because
Of the lack of coal at the mines, shut
down due to the lack Of demand.
1.-THE possibilities Of trouble are
greater this year than they ever have
been," Casey declared. "The mines
are capable of storing small amount
of coal. But this amount will not be
sufficient to meet the needs during
the cold SPELL"
Coal production since the first of
the year has been 115 ,258,000 tons
compared with 153. $4,000 last year,
Casey said. This is due to the lack
Of demand.
81 do not see anything now that
can avert a serious shortage Of coal
next winter unless the conusmer
wakes up to the appeal of the opera
tors to buy now, SO as to keep the
mines in operation" Casey conclud-
ed. "Those who have needed the
repeated warnings and have obtained
their winters supply Of coal have ev-
cry reason to congratulate themselves
when the cold weather COMES" 1T.

Lieutenant Governor Co l Ii n 5
and Party Will Formally
Open New Building
INFORMAL DANCING
FOLLOWS DEDICATION
Governor Preus Expresses His
Regrets at Not Being Able
to Attend Function

Bemidji's new armory, erected Tor
the naval militia and naval reserve
force and National Guard units of the
city, will be formally dedicated this
evening at 8 o'clock by Lieutenant
Governor Louis l.. Collins and his
party. Appropriate ceremonies will
be held for approximately an hour,
following which an informal dancing
party will be enjoyed until midnight.
This city now boasts of one OF the
most complete and modern institu-
lions of the kind in this section Of
the state, and the formal opening to-
night will make the beginning of a
series of social and military activities
to be held by the local military units.
The contract for it's construction
was let last fall and work was rushed
as fast as possible by Edward Jack
son & Son, contractors. Plumbing
and heating equipment was installed
by the Bemidji Sanitary Engineering
company, and the wiring was done by
the Naylor Electric company. Roof
ing work was done by the Sievert
Roofing company, all of these being
local concerns.
The laying of hard maple floor
and interior finishings practically
completed the construction recently,
although the structure has not yet
been turned over by the contractors.
A nine-piece orchestra has been
engaged to furnish the music for the
dance tonight and one of the most en-
joyable social affairs of the season is
assured. The Juvenile band is sched-
uled to play during the dedication
ceremonies.
Tickets for the dance are on sale
at $3.50 for members or former menu
bers of either military unit. $3.50
for the public in general, while the
business men are purchasing tickets
for IS. t.
Governor J. A. o. Preus, in tele-
fgram to Earle A. Barker, president
Of the Bemidji Civic and Commerce
association, states his regrets at not
being able to be present at the DEM
onstrations and the armory opening
las follows: "Sincerest regrets over
my inability to be present at the
dedication of the Armory Friday
night. Illness in my family prevents
this state function. / had hope, ex-
pected and intended to be with you"

With the season one month gone
and the course rounding into first
class shape, active competition for
the many events scheduled for this

that it-must have all scores posted on
