Distant Pastures.

1t is a curious trait of human ma
ture that there is more romance and
glamour attached to far-away things.
The father who would have his son
enter any occupation but his own and
the investor who invariably buys stock
in companies at a distance have the
same delusion.
The annual losses in worthless or
doubtful stocks would be reduced to a
marked extent if the smaller investors
could be taught to confine the bulk of
their purchases in securities that are
close enough at hand to permit of
first-hand investigation. Last summer
a man who had the training and ex-
perience to know better placed hard
earned savings in an important and
legitimate industry had appealed to
his imagination but whose unwhole-
some initiation should have been ap-
parent to the most careful and I'M
o~bservant. Within a few months the
stock became almost worthless, al
though at the time of its purchase the
owner had thrown into his waste bas-
ket an offer Of shares in a local build
ing-and-loan association whose opera
tons he personally knew to be sue
cessful and whose directors were old
acuuaintances.
1t is not contended that all invest
ors should confine their entire pur-
chases to local securities. The results
would be unfortunate for the country's
growth. But the small investor who
is without complete information as to
distant ventures or is in doubt about
them will be burned much less if he
sticks to nearby opportunities.
There are few towns or cities where
sound local investments are not OBJ
tainable. Even if there are no local
industries or utilities there is almost
always a bank or a building and loan,
and always there are mortgages to
be had.
1t is not only safer to identify your
self with investments close enough to
watch, but there is greater personal
satisfaction. The man who has a few
shares Of stock in the company for
which he works or the bank where he
keeps an account is more a part of
his community than if his investments

position, one he is not likely to lose
with every up and down business
there are only two reasons why he
does not study the possibilities of loca
investments before he has truck with
strangers whose standing he does not

to gamble and the other is that he

mating earth as the mother of Antaeus.
1t is a Lesson to be needed. We talk
of the call of the outdoors without
full realization of it's meaning. 1t
spells pleasure without always going
further and suggesting the remedies
which are better than medicine. We
feel the instinct without knowing its
source and it's purpose. Get out to
rejuvenating Mother Earth. Take
every opportunity to get close to ma
ture and away from the walls and
sidewalks. Take a course of the out

RESTRICTION IS
URGED BY HUGHES
Secretary of State Asks Congress to
Act Immediately On Measure to
Limit immigration.

Press dispatches from Washington
indicate that Secretary Hughes is fully
alive to the dangers of "the unguard-
ed gate" Last Wednesday, in docu-
ments submitted to congress, he urged
restriction Upon immigration, and
cites startling facts in support of his
request. His communication is inter-
preted by house and senate leaders as
reflecting increased need for the i'm
mediate passage of the immigration
bill, reported Tuesday by the house
committee, limiting admission Of
aliens for IA months, beginning next
May 10, to three per cent of each ma
tionality resident in the United States
in 1910. Debate in the house will be-
gin Wednesday under special rule.
Mr.. Hughes report said:
Our restriction on immigration
should be so rigid that it would be
impossible for most of these people to
enter the United States.
Jews Evade Army.
Particular reference was made to
undesirable classes from Balkan cit
ties. Armenia and Georgia.
The report said 6O6,692 passports
were granted by American consuls in
Europe for the year 1920, denoting a
desire in most European countries to
emigrate to America before anti-im-
migration laws were proposed. The
principal restraining influence was
said to be lack of funds due to depre-
ciated currency values.
The report adds:
The director general of police of
Rumania, has issued an order excusing
all Jews from military sedvice and
permitting their discharge from the
army if they desire to emigrate to
America.
Thousands Wait Ships.
In Rumania, 1900 persons were
awaiting examination for permission
to come to the United States, it was
said, while tremendous pressure" for
passage was reported by officials in
Poland, where $4,000 awaited third
class accommodations.
Let's and Lithuanians leaving the
Balkan states, Mr.. Hughes said, were
largely from the slums, the vast ma
jority of them "Jews of an undesirable
type"
In the Russian Caucasus, at may be
accepted as nearly literally true Mr..
Hughes said, chat every Armenian
family which has enough money to
get away, or is not impregnated with
bolshevism, will ultimately endeavor
to emigrate to America. Russians and
Georgians + likely more and more
to emigrate to the same haven.
Bulk Highly Loathesome.
The great bulk of emigrants to the
United States from this district are
highly undesirable as material for
future American citizenship.
In making his recommendations, Mr..
Hughes said :
Our restriction on immigration
should be SO rigid that it would be
impossible for the most of these peo-
pie to enter the United States.

HUNS ARE

Berlin, April 20.-While the Ger
man cabinet has not yet indicated
the nature of its reply to the repara-
tions commissions demand that the
German gold reserve be transferred
to some point in the occupied zone,
President Havenstein of the Reichs-
bank and the financial writer's sum-
marily reject the proposition.
They take the ground that the gold
is not only the property of a private
bank but that its removal from Berlin
under the conditions named would re-
suit in the collapse of German cur
rnecy at home and abroad.
