sideration OF the proposition.
DIR. Jones predicted that IL some
thing Il not done soon TO improve
moral and religious education that
nifty years from now there Will be
one huge moral mess" Parents, he
said. In many instances are indif-
fsrent to religious training In the
homes. and Sunday schools are fail
ures along that line because 1t II not

them. and that many who do attend
DO not do SO regularly.
pr. Jones subject was "Co-opera-
ton" and he divided 1t into three
parts --- cooperation between the
teacher and the pupil: cooperation
between the home and the school /:
cooperation between the State and
the church in the matter OF educa-
tion.

teacher and child the speaker said the

PROSPERITY HERE.

King Lardner or some other alleged humorist, has said that there is tide in the affairs of men which taken at it's flood leads on to fortune. This is an insinuation that most ot us over look our opportunities besides other things, which be as it may, leads us to observe that old Man Fortune and his near relative, Opportunity, appear to have picked on Seward to demon strate the truth of the above state ment Almost any man who has reached the age of sixty or theraa- bouts can tell an interested audience that all that kept him from owning the site of the Smith building or the local dock site was that his judgment and foresight became scrambled early in life and were dumped in the hell box awaiting a holiday to be straight ened out: but this is another story.
 For the past several years, Seward like other Alaskan towns, has suffered II OlIi liIc dIlII liStII ol " iiAiN AiAi D si' tempt to lick the world; feat which caused Seattle prices to advance fast CT than the Aaskan's earning capac ity; but the peoGiod of readjustment appears to have passed, and of late months the town has been parking up like cowboy oil magnate, population and business advancing at rate that promises to make 1923 the banner year in the history of the camp. More modern substantial buildings have been erected within the past few months than for several years past, and larger number of new business houses have opened up.
 With construction work on the gov ernment railway practically completed the Alaskan railway will have a ten dency to advance Stewards interests much faster than at any previous pe- riod.

 Fur farming is also becoming 8 tac- tor to be reckoned with, and the next few years will see these paying indus tries dotting the interior as well as the coast districts. Hundreds of thou sands of dollars are lr@lCy invested in foxes, and it is but natural to sup pose that skunks, mart1n. and mink will next be tie to adTa' ',e.

crop.
Fall River print cloth sales, at co.
600 estimated pieces, were the lowest
of the last several months. Buyers
are reported there as Indifferent. The
sentiment in the market is good, how
ever, and the mills are optimistic over
the prospects of recovery. New Bed
ford fine goods were quiet and prices
unchanged.
Only some odd lots, mere 10, Is and
so bale lots, of old cotton figured in
the New Bedford Gotten transactions
Fall River was reported more active
in its inquiry for short cotton, below
grade. Extra staples in New Bedford
did not fiuctuate with the future price
levels after the crop report. The break
in the futures, unable to sustain such
big advance among q skeptical trade,
came before substantial advance
could reach staples. Staples closed
about half cent pound weaker than
last week.

Problems In Receiverxhip

0uestton-Will you kindly give me what
iniiormatlon you can relative to tho re-
ue,,yership ss,y for RayBor. Nicholas A. Trues-
aen, ~ broadway? What were their
assets and Liabilities and why are they so
au aons IN making statement to their
greaitofsY Could Raynor, Nicholas G.
,ti. uehuell De prosecuted If found bucketing
IKE some other brokers?-H. II. w
Answer--The affairs of Raynor, Mich
olas & Truesdell are still in the hands
OF the auditors, and. according to at
torneys for the receiver, no report can
be made as to the exact amount of the
assets and liabilities until this audit is
completed. Tentative estimates, how
ever, indicate that dividend in
liquidation of from 20 to 25 cents on
the dollar may be finally declared. The
amount Of your dividend will depend
upon the size Of your credit balance
with the firm as of the day of the
failure. This will be arrived at by
crediting to your account the sum re-
clyed from the sale of securities of
which you were long and which are
liquidated on the basis Of the closing
sales on that date. From the amount
thus derived will be deducted the
amount of the customers debit balance
The question of bucketing is not with
IN the jurisdiction of the receiver, ac-
cording to the latter's attorneys. Gus
toners who still owe on securities pur-
chased on the installment plan are not
obliged to make further payments since
the failure.

coal properties are becoming more valu-
able every year Am not dependent on the
return OF above for a liying.-W. r. j.
Answer-Any investor leaning at all
toward conservatism would state i'm
mediately after looking over your list
of securities that you should be well
satisfied with the average yield on
your investment as it stands without
sacrificing any of the Liberty bonds
in favor of still higher return. The
removal of National Leather IS from
your list and the substitution there
for of New York Telephone 61a per
cent preferred stock would strengthen
your position, and this We urge you
to do. The Bolivia and Rio de Janeiro
IS do not measure up to the rest of
your bonds, but are probably suitable
for person in your circumstances
We feel that you can afford to hold
the few shares of Atlas Powder stock
that you are entitled to receive in ex-
change for your called bond.

Her First Investments

Question: would be grateful for ad-
VIC, wee concerning Investments to be made
SslS n ooo fall a., by my sister. She now has
erty bonds and will receive about 50 900
as an inheritance. She has Httle hnowl-
ldge of Investments and is afraid of put
ting money into anything except a saw
ings bank. She must now invest the
$1,000 and her circumstances are such

but will they do SO for 80 small an
amount as the Above and approximately
what will they charge for this service? :?
Answer-We can understand the feel
ing of timidity on the part of your
sister, and it is not altogether unusual,
though unwarranted, because of the
large mass of securities that possess
soundness in degree comparable with
the protection afforded savings bank
depositors. The list we are suggesting
is composed of securities legal for in
vestment for savings institutions in
New York State. 1t is not improbable
that the savings bank in which her
funds ere at present placed, if it is a
we'll managed institution, includes
most, if not all. of these securities
among its investments. Keep the Lib
erty bonds. With $4,000 purchase $2,
900 Illinois Central as, 1851, selling
around 95; with $4,000 purchase $4,000
Atchison as, 1895, selling around 9319;
$4,000, Great Northern Al. 1861, SELL
ing around 81; $4,000, Delaware & Hud-
son as, 1943, selling around 90; $1,000,
Illinois Central as, 1851, selling around
95, and 1000, New York Central las,
1850, selling around rs. Total cost will be
about S11, 1,000 and the income received
annually S482.50, which is at an income
rate of about 4.35. The yield to ma
turity is close to a 4.70 basis. APP
probation in the price of the bonds
will come as these issues approach
maturity. 1t would seem to us un-
necessary to go to any expense IN tax
ing care of your sisters securities and
income beyond renting safe deposit
box. If she is willing to make an an
nual trip to her bank she can clip all
coupons maturing up to the date of her
next anticipated visit, deposit these
coupons with the bank for collection
and the bank will credit her account
with the face amount of these coupons
as they come due. A checking account
with the bank would enable her to use
funds as her needs demand. AS busi-
ness man you can appreciate the neces
sity for every woman understanding
banking to the extent of having
checking account.

Dawson Chemical Speculation

Question-Car you give me any informa-
tion regarding the Dawson Chemical Com
even fcf business man? Some time ago
IT was recommended to me as a very good
thing by broker, as 1t supposed to
go up to $40 per share and at that time
they were to give ono share of Silico Gel
as dividend tor each ehare held Of Davi-
SON had few shares at that time, and
down considerably SO am in doubt as to
its value and would be glad OF any In
formation you give NEE. l.. V.
Answer-From last November to May
of this year Dawson Chemical stock
was the subject of more tips and manip-
ulation than almost any other stock
listed on the Exchange. Fluctuations
were exceedingly violent. The earn
ing power of Dawson as chemical
company scarcely entered into the
question of the stock value. Every
thing hinged on the success of the
Silico Gel discovery and the chances
OF its early use by companies refining
oil and manufacturing steel. While we
do not question that Silico Gel has
revolutionary possibilities. the fact
that the movement of Dawson stock
was based on this factor alone admits
of but one Characterization of the
various movements. They were specu-
lative. You bought your stock on the
expectation of realizing an advantage
other than straight investment re-
turn, and the question whether you
should hold the stock or get rid of
it, now that it has reacted sharply,
will find it's answer in your willing
ness or reluctance to continue specu-
lating on possible benefits from the
Silico Gel process.

Other Extreme Hazardous

Question: have $4,000 United States
certificates which maturing August ! 4,
1922 / kindly ask your advice to reinvest
the same amount in a 6 per cent safe bond
or otherwise that is safe as I cannot afford
to speculate. / see that the government
will give other certificates bearing Az per
cent for the ones maturing now. / think
ought to do better inasmuch as l am not
working any more and live from the in
come of my Investments. Thank you in
advance9for your advice.--D. s.
Answer-We appreciate your need
for income greater than is obtainable
on United States certificates, but would
advise you not to 20 too far toward the
other extreme when seeking higher
return We suggest Canadian North
ern Is. 1910, yielding about So per
cent; Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey 5s, 1859, yielding about SO
per cent. Take $1,000 of each of these
bonds and invest the remainder in New
York Telephone 6h per cent preferred
stock, now selling around 107.

thawing out frozen credits, explains
IN measure the necessity for refinan-
clng. We do not see that the position
OF the preferred shares has been
greatly changed, since dividends were
not being paid at the time and will
continue to accumulate until the com
pany feels it is in position to resume
payments. Whether the time for such
resumption has been postponed by
this financing is question we are not
IN a position to answer We do not
see how you can blame Ahe manage
ment for the situation in which the
company finds itself. The slump in the
cotton prices, which was the primary
cause of poor business and frozen
credits, was something that could not
be anticipated to any great extent

Investment for $1,000

Question: have at the present time
about 81, 500 in the bank on which would
like to realize better than per cent.
Being single. with no financial burdens
such as supporting any of my immediate
family, ! would like your suggestions as 10
some first class stocks or bonds Qistlng
them in groups, since I know one should
hold a diversified list) yielding as near .
per cent as possible with safety. Is it pos
eibIe that the Standard Gas and Electric
Co1npany's per cent cumulative preferred
stock which Is being sold, according to an
advertisement in this mornings Tribune, at
q price to yield about per cent, is one
that j could safely purchase? In making
your suggestions please mention few
good houses with whom 10 do bueiness.
Accept in advance my sincere thanks for
your reply.--C. II.
Answer-We think you might select
Standard Gas and Electric preferred
for part of your funds. 1t would be
we'll, however, to take a $500 bond of
high grade, such as Great Northern
5ias, 1852, or New York Telephone SIS,
1e4t, for foundation, dividing the re-
mainder between Standard Gas and
Electric preferred and Illinois Central
preferred or American Telephone and
Telegraph.
