STRAIGHT TALKS =
WITH AUNT EMMY
On Investing In Mortgages

Aunt Emmy. what do you think Of
mortgages as invsstments?" asked
Ethel.
First mortgages. generally speak
Ing. are sound investments, but not
all first mortgages are good" Aunt
Emmy replied. You must exercise
care and discretion. II you know all
about the property, or II you are deal
ing with a financial concern that has
a reputation for success and honesty,
you should be safe. But Il Is we'll to
seek advice before investing. Go 10
your bank. talk the whole thing over
and be guided by their advice. Real
estate transactions are tricky. Better
be safe than sorry. IL there II any
question as TO party walls or II the
building on property should be even
a few inches Owe the lot line, you
would undoubtedly have trouble.
Even guaranteed mortgages should
not be bought on faith. Never buy q
mortgage without knowing the value
OF the real estate 1t covers and OF the
property In the vicinity. Be sure q
good lawyer looks out for your inter
est. With your small capital there
Is too much risk In buying without
every safeguard.
Remember that taxes and insur-
ance must be paid regularly when
they are due. You must know that
they are paid. and remember, too.
that the property you lend money on
should be worth considerably more
than you are lending"
what about second mortgnxss. |
don't they earn more than nrst
mortgages?" inquired Ethel.
Sometimes they do. Second mort
cages are good Investments under Ger
tain conditions. But 1t IL not ad-
visable for an investor of limited
means TO buy them. In case the nrst
mortgage should be foreclosed. the
holder of the second mortgage should
be in a position to protect his inter
ssts by being able to buy the FIRST
mortgage. That can you would
have to have money on hand"
"Oh. Aunty." exclaimed Ethel. you
brighten me about mortgagss."
mo. my dear. don't feel that way"
said Aunt Emmy. "Its all . matter

BANKERS VIEW ON CO.
OPERATIVE MARKETING

The attitude of tho American Bank
ers Association on cooperative mar
keting favors proper organization to
facilitate the orderly movement OF
farm products. but holds that the CO.
operatives are as amenable to como
mic laws as any form OF business ano
cannot be used to gain special bene-
fits for the farmer contrary to the in
nuences OF supply and demand and
other normal factors. This view was
formulated recently by Frank w. Sim
monds OF the Association before the
National Council OF Farmers Cooper
tive and Marketing Associations Al
Washington.

farmer II he becomes imbued with
the idea that cooperative marketing
in itself is a panacea for all agricul.

THE American woman spends the

1.-THE wife's buying is of greater
national importance than that ot
Rockefeller, Morgan and Other Wall

will her family be. If she spends
more than her husband makes. we
be to that home.
Planned buying always leads to
planned thinking in the expendi-

which in turn leads to happiness.
International peace is the dominat-

convention held in America today.
But peace in the individual Ameri-

more to peace in the home than
efficient family finance, with the
family living within its income and
with a nest-egg in the bank.

Whereupon all the searchers
Strengthened their backs. in full
agreement that a button was a
thing not worth looking for.
This is a common attitude, for
most people are apt to regard but
tons as insignificant items, some
times useful, but otherwise unin-
teresting. Which is as wrong as
can be, for the evolution Of a but
ton is full of unexpected marvels,
and button factory, prosaic
though it may sound, has romance
in every corner of it.
The geography of a button alone
commands attention, for the mater
ials used for the making Of these
everyday articles come from all
parts of the earth, and travellers
are constantly journey1ng into
strange countries so that supplies
may not fall short.
In western Australia there are the
great pearl fisheries where mother
of-pearl, one of the basic materials
for buttons, is found, The opales-
cent shells are graded and sorted
before being packed into sacks and
crates for export, and there have
been times when little pearls which
have evaded the lynx eyes of the
fishers" have been found in the
shells when these packages have
been unpacked in London factories.
Vegetable ivory, another leading
material from which buttons are
made, is collected chiefly in South
America and Africa. From the
former comes the corozo nut, the
commonest sort of vegetable ivory,
while Africa grows a strange apple,
which in due course hardens to
the hardness of ivory. Thousands
of these nuts and apples are con.
| verted into buttons every year.

The processes of button making
are more complicated than one

proved that over 1000 different
things happened before certain

Button making Is largely wo.

every season and being we'll ahead
