means putting your money to
work in some firmly established

You would be $1O5.OO richer to-
day if you had invested in only IS
shares of our stock a year ago. In
that short time your shares would
have paid you dividends amount
ing to $4,000. YOU would not
have had to do a tap of work for
that $1O5.OO. Your savings, in
vested in our stock, would have
done the work and turned the
wages earned (the $105.00) over
toyou. Investing is an up-to-date
progressively of making money.
Do not confuse ''investing'' with
"speculating." Lots of folks don't

 His defense of the tax on unin corporated business was particularly strong. The Democratic state plat form condemns this tax but it is hard to appreciate the reason for it's condemnation. Business which is incorporated is taxed and heavily too. Why should business which is not incorporated escape a tax to which corporations are subject? Both have the protection of the state and the protection is worth paying for. Those who. before the Republican state con- vention, had objected to the candi- dacy of Mir. Bingham for governor on the ground that he had not been long enough in the public life of the state to become familiar with it's affairs, are now convinced that, by close attention and deep study of state problems, he has overcome the possible disadvantage which A belat cd intimacy with them might create.
