INVESTMENT NOTES.
swiss SIS.

Probably one OF the most successful
pieces OF foreign financing undertaken
in this country was that of the $25,
600 Government of Switzerland twenty
year per cent. sinking fund gold
bonds. which were offered TO the public
In the summer OF 1920. These bonds
are now selling around 106, which price
is several points higher than any other
foreign bond traded in on the Stock
Exchange. The reason for the smaller
yield is that Switzerland is one of the
wealthiest countries in Europe and en-
joys high financial credit. Its financial
strength is indicated by the 81 per cent.
gold reserve which the National Bank
of Switzerland. the only note issuing
bank. holds against the s17s,022,112 OF
notes outstanding on June z, 1920. The
national wealth of Switzerland. COM
prising private and public property was
officially estimated In 1913 at about
s4.400 100000. or $1,135 per capita.
Swiss capital invested abroad was esti-
mated In 1913 at about $3.50. .000,0 600.
The loan was part of a programme for
the gradual electrifcation of the Gov
ernment railway system. The bonds
cannot be called In the first ten years.
On any interest date after July !, 1880.
they are callable at the option of the
Swiss Government as q whole or In part
at los and accrued interest. A sinking
fund of $1.000000 per annum, payable
in quarterly instalments, provides for
the purchase of these bonds In the open
market at or below 105. Principal.

payable in New York city in United

nominations of $1,000 and $500.

Has Card of 90
For New Record

Way to Field in Flor.
ida by Four Strokes
By Ray Mccarthy

JACKSONVILLE. Fla, March H.
Jim Barnes, the star golf profe ssion n al
OF the Pelham Country CLUB. of New
York, established a record for the
Florida Country Club course here to-
day in scoring a SO on tho second round
OF tho Florida open championship
tournament. As result of this per-
formance he is out in front Of field
of more than twenty-five players on the
first days play, with a total score of
145. Clarence Hackney, of the Atlantic
City Club, is second with i49.
Tommy Kerrigan, the Siwanoy pro;
Jock Hutchison, the nifty performer Of
the Glen View Club, Of Chicago, and
Mike Brady. the Detroit star, are tied
Tor third place with score of l51.
George rockingham. Wilfried Reid and
Freddy Mcleod are deadlocked for the
next position, each with a score of l55.
Barnes in making his record played
phenomenal golf. His round COM
prised five "birdies," and one remark
able part Of it was that he was able
to make his low tally despite a 6 on
the twelfth hole.
Aided by Fine Driving
The big fellow was driving tre-
mendously long ball from practically
every tee. In fact, it was fine driving
which enabled him to make his score.
However, his iron shots equaled his
driving, and on the ajority Of holes
he played dead to the pin. His card:

On the first hole Barnes planted his

the fourth he played dead to the hole
again and sank his putt for 3. Again
at the sixth he repeated the perform
ance in getting g.
At the ninth hole big Jim's" drive
landed behind a large tree. He was
completely stymied and apparently had
no chance of reaching the green. How
ever, he took a deep-faced mashie iron,
cut the ball sharply, and sliced his
shot around the tree and onto the edge
of the green.
Makes His Greatest Shot
In commenting on it afterward tn
big fellow exclaimed: eyes, that wa
a good shot; in fact, it was the greatest
shot / ever made"
AT the tenth Barnes got by play
ing his iron to within eight feet of
the hole and sinking his putt, and on
the long sixteenth he played a mashie
shot dead to the hole for bird 4
At the twelfth he hooked his second
out of bounds, and finally took for
