In the business sense, the word In.
vestment relates to the use Of money
in acquiring ownership of property.
Ownership may represent entire pos
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 q 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 on
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 10 the same
rights, under the law, as the owner OF
the workshop. In the corporation. the
owners hold certificates OF stock as
evidence of their investment. whereas
the owner Of the little workshop holds
a deed as title to his land.
CapltallstIe Laws Protect investors
Because the laws stand for the
equal protection of all investors, It lie
possible and profitable to make good
investments. II 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.

financial system which gathers up and

Steering Business Ships to Su-eess.
Fred p Mann is . drySoods merch-
ant IN Devils Lake, North Dakota.
He sells a half million dollars
worth of goods every year in a town
of five thousand population. He
has built his business from nothing.
His capital has been intelligence
He stands today an inspiration for
any small town merchant who seeks
10 build, n paying business on a sound
foundation.
There are thousands of merchants
who piod along without any definite
ann except an instructive desire to
accomplish. These are the merchan-
dising direhcts The ship that
reaches port in time to win the
cargo is one that is steered with
definite purpose and along n course
thoroughly charted.
Mr.. Mann frankly says his success
IS due TO two things-sensihle buy
ing and vigorous newspaper ad.
vertising. He spends more money
in newspaper advertising than any
small merchant in the United States.
The answer is he does more business
than any small merchant in the
United States.
Half the local merchants in small
towns see in advertising nothing but
typographical announcements The
money wasted in direct advertising
by mail is astonishing. There is
not an advertising man in the whole
of the United States who uses a
dlrect-hy-mail advertising except as
a supplement to the newspaper.
Without the newspaper the rest is
useless. If we fail to learn by the
experience of others who have sue
eeded then we fall behind in the
narch of progress

and Fred p Mann are not fools.

Safety for Highway Traffic.

We now have registered in
America about 100000 motor
vehicles. Last year $4,000 lives
were lost in motor vehicle accidents.
This is largely due to the fact that
80 per cent of this motor vehicle
traffic is congested on 10 per cent of
our highways. The time is coming
when laws must be adopted and ar
rangements made for their enforce
ment, to wipe out the mounting loss
of life due to traffic accidents. 1t
is almost amazing to think that any
hair-brained idiot is empowered to
drive on our highways with vehicles
which can run so to 60 miles an
hour without any test of his capacity
or ability to handle a dangerous
vehicle of this character.
A locomotive engineer goes
through years of training. If you
look at the average engineer in the
summer months with his head stuck
out of the cab, he is usually gray
haired man. He not only has under
gone years of training and reached
the age of balanced maturity, but
his train is operated under control
of a train dispatcher and block
signal system. 1t is not the equa-
ton of one single individual but of
several individuals and mechanical
devices. Finally, the locomotive
runs on rails and has a fixed
course.
Every care is taken to avoid the
risk of accidents with railroad
trains whose orbit of operation is
fixed by rails and controlled by
ingenious mechanical devices. On
the other hand any fool may take a
high powered automobile, a youth
without training or judgment, turn
it loose on the highways and run it
40, so and 60 miles an hour. The
day is not far distant when in Wis
consin and every other state where
traffic has become congested, there
win be the most rigid rules and
regulations and officers to enforce
them-Good Roads Magazine.

The National Bonfire.

Fire loss in Kansas for 1922 was
S9.17 per capita, nearly twice
national average Of $4.75 per capita.
Great Britain's loss per capita was
u cents
The question is often raised as to
the reason for higher or lower fire
insurance rates in different cities
and in the foregoing figures we have
the answer.
The National Board Of Fire Under
writer's has for years been collecting
data on every fire loss reported by q
stock fire insurance company in the
United States.
The National Board has nothing TO
do with making rates or in any way
operating the affairs Of insurance
companies. It simply collects and
complies irrefutable facts on fires
and makes this information available
for any person in the country.
The result is that the making Of
fire insurance rates is not a matter
Of guess work. If Kansas City
permits greater fire hazards within
its boarders than does Omaha OF
Chicago. its insurance rates viii be
higher than cities which eliminate 70

statement showing the exact
financial status of the normals
drawn up by a special committee
apnojDted by the regents at their
last meeting on July 25, will be
placed before the executive at that
time. Secretary VIM. Kittle of the
hoard announced today. The mem
hens of this committee are P. w.

KlIbourn.
Secretary Kittle upon direction of
the committee prepared the state
ment. ut shows exactly how our
normal schools stand" he said.
I'VE have so much money and we
need so much more to run on"
The means of raising the ad-
djtiona money which the statement
shows is needed is left for Governor
Blaine's solution. Unless the money
is provided the normals would be
forced to shut down sometime in
Nav. Funds can come through a
special session of the Legislature or
through an emergency appropria-
ton.
1t is considered very probable
that Governor Blaine as head of the
emergency board empowered to
certify certain funds for regular
operating expenses from the general
fund will seek this channel to supply
the needs of the normal schools. A
recent ruling by the attorney
generals office held that money
needed for operating expenses for
the university could DC drawn by
the emergency board from the
general fund and the same ruling is
applicable to The normal schools.
The University of Wisconsin is in
much better financial, condition
than the normals. Under their
continuing appropriation for operat-
ing expenses the U. w. will receive
more money than they would have
received had the appropriation bill
before the legislature been passed.
In addition to this there are
substantial balances remaining in
capitol and maintenance funds
which can be used until exhausted
for repair and permanent improve
ment.
The situation was brought to light
at a recent meeting of the board of
university regents. In consequence
they will not make a request to the
governor for additional funds.
The urgent necessity for a special
session of the legislature to be called
sometime in the fall is seen to grow
