STRAIGHT TALKS
With AUNT EMMY
On Investing in Mortgages

Aunt Emmy, what do you think OF
mortgages as investmepts?" asked
Ethel
First mortgages, generally speak
ing. are sound investments. but not
all first mortgages are good" Aunt
Emmy replied. you must exerei4s
care and discretion. II you know all
about the property, or it you are deal
ing with Z financial concern that has
q reputation for success and honesty,
you should be safe. But It is well to
seek advice before investing. Go to
your bank, e1Zk the whole thing over
and be guided By thsr advice. Reul
estxte transactions are tricky. Better
be safe than sorry. II there = any
question as to party walls or II the
building on property should be even
a few inches over the lot fine, you
would undoubtedly have trouble
Even guaranteed mortgages should
not be bought on faith. Never buy
mortgage without knowing the value
of the real estate it covers and Of the
property in the vicinity. Be sure a
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 tnsur-
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 mortgages,
Aunty, don't they earn more than first
mortgages?" inquired Ethel.
Sometimes they do. Second mort
cages are good investments under Ger
tain conditions. But it Is not adj
visable for an investor of limited
means to buy them. In case the first
mortgage should be foreclosed, the
holder of the second mortgage should
be in a position to protect his inter
ests by being able to buy the first
mortgage. That means you would
have to have money on hand"
"Oh, Aunty," exclaimed Ethel, you
rather brighten me about mortgages
mo, my dear, don't feel that way"
said Aunt Emmy. "It's all a matter
of care and knowledge of conditions.
Even II you don't know about them
yourself, you can protect yourself by
taking the advice OF your bankers.
Don't trust too much to your own judS-

BANKERS VIEW ON CO.
OPERATIVE MARKETING

The attitude of the American Bank
ers Association on cooperative mar
keting favors proper organization TO
facilitate the orderly movements OF
farm products, but holds that the CO.
operatives are as amenable to econo-
mic laws as any form of business ana
cannot be used to gain special bene-
fits for the farmer contrary to the in
duences 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 Co-opera-
tive and Marketing Associations a,
Washington.
at would be unfortunate for the
farmer if he becomes imbued with
the idea that cooperative marketing
in itself is a panacea Tor all agricul-
tural Ills" Mr. Simmonds said. GO
operative marketing, well organized
and wisely managed, can be most
helpful in solving market problems. II
may prevent untimely dumping, it may
secure better credit facilities, it may
extend existing markets. it may even
create new markets, but obviously its
operations will be as amenabie to eco
nomic law as thcse OF other business
enterprises.
What II Cannot Do
cooperative marketing cannot pre-
vent other countries with cheaper land
and labor from selling n foreign
marts at a price unattracnve to u.s.
It cannot successfully override the
law of supply and demand or main
tain for any length of time an arti-
fcially high price by Withholding
product from market or unduly limit
ing production. Sane, orderly market
ing must be accompanied by sane, or
derby thinking.
1--WE may wisely take leaf from
Danish experience and emphasize eff
cient. economical, maximum produc-
ton of standard grade products, for
however important cooperative mar
keting may be in solving the exgen-
cies of the present time, it is only one
link in the chain of agricultural prob
lens"
The American Bankers Association,
Mr.. Simmonds said. believes that soiu-
tons of farm problems should be
sought through private enterprise and
not through government aid" and ap-
proves the endeayors of farmers for
orderly marketing.
