There are doubtless quite number

We wish too urge attendance at the
earliest possible date. 1t is of the
utmost importance that pupils get

to get started right may mean failure
at the end of the year for the pupil.
1t is especially important that be-

it impossible to place them in class

To know whether an investment is

NEW MORGAN CREEK ROAD
WILL BE OPEN IN A WEEK

The public will be gratified to learn
ten days the Morgan Creek road,
which is being constructed by the
Forest Service, will be open to light
auto travel from the main highway
J. o. Blume's ranch to Pettigrew's
ranch, a distance of about 51a miles.
The hand work has been completed
through the canyon and teams are
busy distributing thin coat of sur
facing material over the roadbed to
make travel with light loads and au
tomobiles possible.
Bids are now out calling for propos
ais to DELIVER 1900 cubic yards of ad
ditional surfacing material on the
roadbed. Anyone interested in this
class of work is invited to call at the
local Forest office for full informa
ton concerning the terms of the
contract and the submission of bids.
After the completion of the surfac
ing this road will be highway of
high standard over which any kind
of vehicle may travel safely.
The roadbed is 9 feet wide and the
maximum grade does not reach ten
per cent. in any one place. Scarcity
of labor this summer has been rather
a handicap in the construction OF this
road, but the Forestry officials plan
on continuing the construction up
Morgan creek and expect to reach the
mouth of Block creek by the time win
ter sets in.
The road, when completed over the
Morgan Creek summit will not only
open up fine country note for its
fishing, hunting and other recreation
al features, but will also provide Il
direct auto route to the immense
mineral deposits in the Forney and
Yellow Jacket section.

In the business sense, the word in
vestment relates to the use of money
In acquiring ownership of property.
session of property as of a home;
partial ownership as holding stock in
a corporation; or conditional owner
ship as in the case of buying a mort
gage or bond. When person makes
an investment in bonds, he is really
loaning his money to the government
or corporation issuing them. He will
receive the interest which they earn
as long as he owns them, or until
they are paid off.
Ownership of great corporations Is
vested in individuals who have invest
ed money in their stock or bonds.
Many people regard the ownership Of
the United States Steel Corporation,
for example. as differing from the
ownership Of, say, small workshop.
Yet investors in shares Of Steel Cor
poration stock are entitled to the same
rights, under the law, as the owner of
the workshop. In the corporation, the

the owner of the little workshop holds
a deed as title to his land.
capitaIlstic Laws Protect Investors
Because the laws stand for the
equal protection of all investors. 1t is
possible and profitable to make good
investments 1t gives an incentive to
work hard and to invest The person
who wishes to invest must first work
and accumulate funds with which to
do so.
Bonds are always secured by mort
cages on the lands, buildings or other
property Of the corporation for which
the money has been used. When
bond natures the money must be re-
paid to the owner of the bond.
: All investors are a part of a great
financial system which gathers up and
puts to work the wealth of the coun-
try for the mutual benefit, prosperity,
and well-being Of all. In America, it is
possible for any one who is willing to
pay the price of self-denial and hard
work, to be an investor. Good invest
ments made in early life by saving
such small sums as may be possible,
lay the foundation for providing the
comforts of later years, when it is
harder to earn livelihood and when
poverty often becomes the condition
of those who have not practiced
thrift in youth.
