Farmer, and Wildcat Stock.

one of the factors which has had
much to do with the financial distress
prevailing among farmers is the losses
incurred ia buying questionable Sc
curities. loss which might have
been very largely avoided.
Years ago, a security salesman 10
country districts was unknown. Then
came the era of large profits IN city
aud country when swarms OF stock
sellers took the field and they spread
into the country as soon as It was
found 10 be a fertile field for quick
sales and large profits.
The farmer was new in the secur-
ity game. He was at the mercy OF the
interruptions salesman who made
rainbow promises Of profits in Oil,
motor and all sorts of companies.
Many a farmer swallowed the whole
story. accepted it often at its par
value. bought stocks readily not only
with his cash but what he could Dor
row on his own notes at the bank.
When the reckoning day came, the
loans at the bank had TO be paid and
the stock too often proved worthless,
or had only a slight value. The farm
er who has suffered big losses will
surely be wary in the future, but his
neighbors who have not been caught
with losses may still be gullible for
the security seller who comes with an
attractive tale of fabulous profits.
The remedy IS never to buy any Sc
curity from an unknown agent with
out consulting some reliable author
ity who can provide accurate informa-
ton. The local banker in the country
town knows something of investments
aud he should be consulted. If he is
unable to give information, there are
sources of information in the great
cities where a reliable rating can be
obtained o. almost any security that
can be mentioned.
The Journal maintains an Investors
guide department OF TINS KIND where
experts pass on securities mentioned
and answer almost all questions con
corning investments The great met
ropoliian dailies have found that
losses from fake stocks and weak
stocks have been so large that the
need for some source OF consultation
was imperative This service is free
for the asking. A 2-cent stamp Will
bring information. precisely what is
wanted by the would-be investor.
Investigate thoroughly before you
put a dollar into stocks or bonds.
Consult some authority who knows
investments, in fact it would be we'll
to consult several investment experts
if possible and get their opinions.
Better be safe than sorry

RAIL LABOR BOARD
CUTS WAGES AGAIN

CHICAGO, Feb. 24.-Another pay
slash, this time hitting ten thousand
railroad firemen and oilers, was
made by the United States railroad
labor board today. when it an
nounced rules, effective March i,
eliminating extra pay until after
the tenth hour, and setting up a
"split trick" Of eight hours within
a spread Of twelve without any over
time pay.
After several other decisions vir-
tually restoring the ten-hour day
for railroad workers, the board au-
thorized the roads to pay only pro-
rata wages after the regular eight
hours, which the board retained in
principle as constituting days
work. Time and one-half will be
given thereafter.
Formerly the firemen and oilers,
all of whom work around railroad
shops, were paid time and one-half
after eight hours.
Sundays and holidays will be paid
for at the pro-rata rate, a minimum
of three hours pay being made for
two hours work or less. Monthly
rated employees wages are to be
adjusted to eliminate tine old time
and-one-half provisions.
Ten rules regarding discipline,
grievances, discrimination against
committeeman and similar matters
were remanded to the employees and
the roads for further negotiation.
The boards new rules supplant the
national agreement made during fed
eral control, which has been in eff
feet since January 16, 1920.

Reduced rates on cotton, hay,
grain and grain products were or
dered Friday by the railroad COM
mission. to take effect April 1.
The commission's order makes an
average reduction of about "a per

3 SEEM INVOLVED
IN TAYLOR MYSTERY

DETROIT, Feb. ga part of the
story of Henry M. Fields that two
men and a woman killed William Des-
mond Taylor, movie director in Los
Angeles, has been shown to be cor
rect authorities said today.
The truth of the rest of his story
which has started new investiga-
ton of the Taylor murder hinges on
the finding of a revolver in the spot
designated by Fields.
That Los Angeles police have not
yet found the gun was indicated by,
a message to authorities here ask
ing further details concerning its
hiding place.
Another angle Of Fields story to-
be Investigated was that a $1,000 bill
was changed on the night Of the
murder at a Los Angeles bank.
Fields said he was given $500 OF
the change for driving two men and
a woman, who Fields said killed
Taylor, to a place in Hollywood.
