STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN

"Aunt Emmy" said Jane, Il wish
you would make something clear to
me. Last night Mr.. wilkins and Ted
we're talking about bonds. Mr.. viii.
kins said a lot about public utility
bonds whatever that means, and
seemed to think that they are the
greatest things ever, so | thought
maybe Ted and | might buy one with
that $1,000 Daddy gave us for a we'd
ding present, but I'd like to know
more about them first"
"You have the makings OF a finan-
cier, Jane" laughed Aunt Emmy
since you have sense enough to ston
look and listen before you buy. like
public utility bonds, too-that is, good
ones. They are bonds issued by cor
porations that serve the public with
something useful, hence the name
public utility. The gas company, the
electric light and power company, the
telephone and similar companies ara
public utility corporations. Their
business is based on real public needs.
But it is also essential that they be
well managed to be a good invest.
ment.
"Of course there are other bonds
equally good. Always bear in mind
that when you buy bond you loan
money to the corporation whose bond
you buy. You do not buy share of
the business, as you do when you buy
stock. The bond you buy bears in
terest, and this interest must be paid
to you before the company can pay
out a single cent in dividends. New
ertheless bonds must be carefully se-
lected with the advice of someone
who knows"
"How do you think one can know
If a company is safe or not, Aunty?"
asked Jane.
well, that is difficult. But should
say that if a company whose bonds
you fancy has been doing a good
business for ten years and has not
failed to pay dividend during that
time the chances are that 1t will keep
on doing as we'll unless something en-
tirely unforeseen occurs. The best
thing to do is to check up your own
opinion with your banker. Once you
have bought bonds in any corporation
don't put them away and forget them.
Seek your banks advice from time to
time and keep informed of the prog
ress of the corporation you are inter
ested in. If you see anything in the
papers that alarms you in any way go
at once to your bank and ask their
advice about selling out and reinvest
ing in something else. Banks keve
facilities for keeping in touch pfth
financial conditions. and they am IL
ways glad to help."-ANNE B. AtiEs

BANKERS Direct
WAR ON CROOKS
Rising Crime Wave and Attacks
on Banks Called Forth In
creased Measures OF
Defense.

Criminal activities against banks
have reached unprecedented proper
4, tions in recent months, according to
a report made to the American Bank
ers Association by its Protective
Committee, which directs the work of
the Association cimed to combat GRIM
inal operations against banks.
SHARP increases in crime perpe-
trated against banks definitely prove
that instead Of being broken the
crime wave has risen to heights here
tofore unknown to the banking fra
ternity," the report said. strangers
continue to trick or otherwise in
veigle unsuspecting banks into max
ing generous contributions to their
cause-a terrific toll which defies the
imagination. Bank burglars and hold
up men have apparently redoubled
their activities during the last six
months. The number of criminals
plying their trade in this field has
grown to such proportions that there
is now. a fair sized army comprising
this more desperate type of criminal,
specializing against banks"
Don't cash checks for strangers"
is the warning emphasized by the
Committee in view of the situation.
1t adds:
1--WE are gratiflod to report favora-
BILE results in good proportion of
cases investigated. which are due to
the nationwide activities Of our de-
tective agents through their staff of
specialists in bank crimes. In Mon
tana two fearless, well organized
bands of professional yeggmen attack
ed more than a score Of banks with
such reckless abandon that the situa-
tion seemed beyond control. Realiz-
ing that conditions demanded prompt
and drastic treatment, a trained crew
of operatives were delegated to con
duct a special investigation through
out the state. Nineteen men and two
women were arrested. or these four
already are serving sentences, three
are on trial, four are awaiting trial
and the rest we're freed for lack OF
evidence.
"A similar roundup was carried out
in Oklahoma. Conditions lp~sther
states similarly bad Ysj asti-
gated and with tho COO To-
cal. state and federal al and
the co-ordinated activities ~ hem

a harl luck game to nine Will

the toughest contest of the
season for Washington. Thei~
lineup was stuffed with sub
stitutes and for that reason
could not present the formi-
dable machine that has been
consistently whining.
The game was a good one
and hard fought by both
teams. Grey Carrigan, the
pitching star, kicked in with q
home run, sending one across
ahead of himself. The score
was II to 10 with Willisville

The locals are looking for

them of winning ball games.
The locals didn't have much

Your Expenses

The cost of living now is
about 65 per cent higher than
when the war started in 1914.
This is the latest estimate by
National Industrial Conference
Board. 1t arrives at its figure
by striking an average for. the
whole country. In some com
munities, cost of living is higher.
Other places, it's lower.
Also keep in mind that the
IS per cent figure is for wage
Garner with five in family.
In simpler terms, it now costs
$l.65 to buy what cost S be-
fore the war. Also, a man must
make $l.65 now to have an in
come equivalent to what ST. was
in pre-war days. Interesting,
for the Individual to figure up
and find how his income COM
pares with what should be.
on this basis.
Do you live on a budget sys-
tcm-divide your income in
advance, allowing so much for
rent, so much for food, and so
on2 Here are N. |. c. Boards
figures showing how spending
should be scientifically divided:
Out Of a $40 bill, the Board
figures $4.3I for food, $l.77
for rent or other Shelter $l.32
for clothing, So cents for fuel
and light, $2.04 for 'sundries.
These figures cover only the in

not include the 10 or 20 per
cent which experts say must be
saved to provide properly for
old age and success.
Consolation: While the

$l.65 to buy what cost 81 be-
fore the war, an outlay of SOS
