The Tribune prints each day tho mo-
FNraty dates OF all active bonds quoted
on the New York Stock Exchange. The
return on a bond to the investor depends
"pon three factors: the rrte of interest
the security bears, the market price
ana the distance Of the maturity date.
10 fg1tre the precise yield ON G bond it
IS necessary to use yield tables, but the
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out oy the foltoioing formula: Divide
the closing quotation on bond into
the rate of interest it pays, and the re-
sntt will be the annual return If the
bond rs selling below par you mus.
aHow also for the appreciation Of the
principal. To do this subtract the mar
ket quotation from par, or 100, and d.
vide the remainder BY ths number of
years the bond los to run before mo-
thrity. For example. If per cent
bond is selling ut 90 and has ten years
to run. the annual return aeiH be 6.eS
per cent. The difference 5etwesm par
ana the market p,rce will be 10 points,
subtracting 90 from 100. Dividing ten
pants by ten years, the quotient will be
1. This figure is to be- added to s.ss,
phtch as the annual return, and the re-
salt IS 200 per cent. will gipe vou the
approximate yield.

which is that of the Canadian National

being made to-day on a $50 basis, and
inc outcome OF the issue is awaited
with keen interest. The success of the
transaction is likely to result in the
Offering of a number of other impor-
tant issues which have been postponed
FOR several weeks pending improve
ment in market conditions. Listed
bonds continued yesterday to exhibit
firm tone, and dealers attributed the
further Improvement to buying for re-
investment. Rail issues were in good
demand at advancing prices. An ex-

on to explain, "the lower is higher
than the upper. If you want it lower,
you have to go higher. We sell the

words, the higher are fewer" "Why
do they all want the lower" the

A BOY BANK ROBBER

In releasing on his own recogniz-
ance a 2O-year-old boy who was
charged with taking $4,000 from a
bank where he was employed at 500
a month, United States Judge Lands
told the president of the bank that the
robbery should be laid at the door of
the board of directors. He said that
the clerk was "notoriously underpaid"
The Judges intimation was that the
boy stole the $4,000 because his
salary was small.
Judge Lands sympathy for the
clerk might have been more iustifi-
able if the youth had been paid so
little that he could not sustain him
self or if tie money which was stolen
had been only a small amount need
ed to buy food. However, that was
not the case.
There are probably many boys liv-
ing on less than 800 a month and put
ting some of their salary into the
bank. 1t is true that 800 a month is
not a large salary though its adequacy
from the viewpoint Of the youths eff
ficency depends upon the question of
how long he has been in the banking
business and how well he has done
the work assigned to him.
Certainly the fa,. that the youth
was receiving a "notoriously small"
salary does not warrant special con-
sideration for him when he has stolen
$95, 900. A youth who would take
that large an amount when receiving
a salary Of 800 a month would no
doubt have taken just as large & sum
if he had been getting a salary Of
$500 a month-Daily Oklahoman.

THE MOTION PICTURE IN
OUR FOREIGN TRADE

A statement by the National City
Bank of New York illustrates the
bigness and constant growth of the
motion picture industry of the world
and especially of the United States,
which is by far the largest manu-
facturer Of films and also by far the
worlds largest exporter of films both
exposed and uneXposed.
The increase Of expectation Of Eek
posed" films has been very great in
very recent years, the total quantity
of exposed motion films exported
from the United States having grown
from $4,000, 900 feet in the year pre-
cecding the war-the calendar year
Of l913-to 100000 in 1915.
164.00,000 in 1916, 153,000,000 in
1919, and l75,900,000 in 1920. This
tremendous growth in exports of the
exposed films contrasted with the
reduction IN the quantity of uneX-
posed films exported, suggests, at
least, adds the banks statement, that
the industry of making film pictures
for the world, photoplays and others,
is growing very rapidly in the United
States, and that apparently the other
countries are relying upon us to a
greater extent for the finished and
exposed film for camera use in tceir
own countries.

Clovis must not let this spring pass
without starting the paving program.
There is always an inclination on the
part of many to figure that paving is
an expense that should not be incur
red except during very prosperous
times. However, we have passed
through three years of development
and prosperity and still have no pay
ing. If there is any property owner
who objects to the paving program at
this time he should weigh the matter
well before attempting to block the
procedure, If Clovis progresses as a
