STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON INVESTING THE LEGACY

II really wish could understand
investments, Aunt Emmy" said Jane.
Since we received that legacy I have
Tried to get some money sense into
my head. The financial pages in the
papers are just tumble Of words to
me. ! can't make out the difference
between stocks and bonds nor for the
life of me see what makes one thing
an investment and another q specu-
lation."
Aunt Emmy laughed. Lots Of peo-
pie puzzle over those things. my dear.
But your nrst problem Is simple
enough" she said. Suppose you buy
a bond, a 800 Liberty Bond. What
you really do is to lend Uncle Sam
800 on his promise to pay that money
back on given date and to pay you
specified sum each year-that Is,
interest-for the use Of your money.
II your 500 bond pays four and
quarter per cent you get four dollars
and quarter every year you hold it
until 1t reaches maturity-that is, the
date when the time of your loan is up
and Uncle Sam returns your money.
when a bond reaches maturity 1t
should be turned over to your bank
for collection, because after maturity
you will get no more interest on the
money invested Therefore when
bond natures take 1t to your bank,
have the money placed to your ac-
count and consult your banker about
reinvesting it.

STRAIGHT TALKS ~
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON PLAUSIBLE YOUNG MEN

isn't 1t dreadful about poor Mrs.
Fuller, Aunt EMMY" exclaimed
Molly. THAT company she bought
those bonds in has failed and she has
lost nearly every cent she had"
do you know how 1t happened?"
asked Aunt Emmy. "She got a let
ter from some so-called investment
house she knew nothing about. She
answered it and they sent plausible
young man to her and he persuaded
her that the company he was selling
bonds for was a seventh wonder.
The carelessness of some people Ia
really criminal. Mrs. Fuller might
have gone to her bank, asked for re-
liable information and saved her
money. Any bank has or can get the
facts about business concerns show
ing their condition. Had she bought
bonds in a company that the facts
showed had been meeting its obliga-
tions for years, had a good surplus
and good business prospects, she
would not be in trouble today In
stead, she took the word of that
plausible man who was either de-
ceived himself, or who willfully de-
ceived her, or at least was not so
much interested in protecting her as
in selling bonds to her. There is
really very little excuse for the Mrs.
Fullers of today because reliable in
formation on financial matters may
De had so easily
bn a.,l, d,,,t
.i:oney N thoss, Du4dsl" commented
,y-..2a'aetic Molly.
"Th..t's another thing II is unwise
to do" rep!isd AuH! E,,aay 1T is
always foolish to carry all your eggs
in one basket. Now if sic had pat
only part of her money in those bonGa
instead of all she had, she could have
stood the loss. AS It Is there Is no
telling what straits the poor listle
woman has got herself into. Like
every one else Mrs. Fuller was too
greatly tempted by the promise of a
high rate of interest on her invest
ment. Her extreme ignorance of
finance coupled with the desire for
high interest caused all her trouble.
There are few things more dan
gerous than thinking you can do
something you know nothing about as
well as somebody who knows all
about it. How foolish that sounds
just to say it.! Mrs. Fuller may be
able to go to the butcher and because
d her judgment Of cuts of meat, get |
.ne very best and most for her money |
but that is no sign that she can Judge |
securities. Buying bonds Is no diff
rent from buying meat. You simply |
lust understand your subject. You
lust know how to select good bonds,
and you must know when to sell and
when to buy. The only way you can
10 this Is to take the advice of some
'ne whose business it is to study the
bond market. Any bank large or
mall will gladly discuss investments
With its depositors. When you have
earned enough to depend somewhat
N your own judgment make your
'wn decision as to what to buy
hen talk it over with your banker to
make sure. Should he say, Don't
NY abide by his decision"
Mrs. Fuller's case has taught me
lesson, Aunty," said Molly, "Tll
ever take any chances like she did"

The reason pine trees are so often
associated with mountain scenery is
because they are among the few trees
that can grow at very nigh altitude.
Pine trees can grow at $500 feet, frs

Many Seals Being Sold
To Citizenry of This

When Santa Claus was looking for
someone to give the first Christmas
Seal to the world, it is no wonder he
picked this big benevolent Nordic as
a perfect personification of himself.
So it WAS, on Christmas Eve, 1903,
that Einar Holboell stopped a mo-
ment in his work as a postal clerk in
a small town in Denmark to hear
Santa whisper in his ear the project
to sell penny stickers to help tuber-
culosis children.
1t was not easy to accomplish. But
Einar Holboell was obsessed by the
thought of the wasted Christmas
stamps passing through his hands,
wasted for any benefit to humanity.
His enthusiasm brought to his cause
men of distinction and influence. A
committee was formed, mail clerks
agreed to work overtime to sell the
seals. The people of Denmark liked
the idea. 1t spread to other coun-

Next to gasoline, money paid for
new cars in the two years is the
highest figure. Mr.. letters report
shows that in 1923, 9,439 new cars
and trucks were bought, at an aver
age price of $500. or $685. 900. In
1924 total of IL, GAL cars and trucks
were purchased, at the average price
of $500, for $9,S12,SO0.
License paid for operation of cars
accounted for another $4,000. 900, and
the estimates for oil, repairs, tires
and accessories add another $4,000
900 to the total.

KAIBAB FOREST
OPEN TO HUNTING

The state game warden of Arizona
has announced that the west side of
the Kaibab Forest will be thrown
open to deer hunting December
to January 5. A fee of $500 per
head win be charged for each deer
according to District Forester R. H.
Rutledge of the Intermountain Dis
trict.
The state officials of Arizona have
opposed the shooting on the Kaibab
Forest up until this time, owing to
the Misunderstanding of the exact
conditions and fearing that 1t would
tend to interfere with the drive
which is to be undertaken by Mr..
George Mccormick, in an attempt
to herd several thousand deer from
the overstocked ranges to the OPP
posite side of the Colorado River.
The area upon which shooting Is
to be allowed lies twenty miles or
more to the west of the area upon
which the drive is to be organized,
and is separated from that area by
a high plateau now covered with
snow.
The deer on the killing area are in
poor flesh, the larger bucks weighing
only about $50 pounds. The edge
OF the shooting area may be reached
from Ryan on the edge of the Kaibab
Forest, which in turn is accessible
and is reached by an automobile
road from Kanab. Utah. 1t is there
fore possible to go by car directly to
the killing grounds. Persons should
not go upon the Forest with guns
without first securing written per-
mission.

ernor James III. Hawley, has organ
lied a Special Gift" drive as fea-
ture of the campaign in the coming

houses and corporations have given
assurance that gifts will be made
toward this commendable enterprise.
While the counties or the South
east are slower in getting under way,
the first reports from Twin Falls and
Butte counties were especially pleas
ing.

fees during the war have responded

CARAVAN FROM EAST
COMING TO IDAHO


An auto caravan, consisting of 80
cars and trucks, of Pennsylvania
farmers, is en- route to Idaho to es-
tablish future homes, according to a
press report from Omaha, which city
they reached last week. The reports
do not give the name OF the commun-
ity in which they expect to locate,
only that they have three places in
view and they will select the COM
munity which suits them best.
Representative of the homeseek-
ers spent several weeks in Idaho last
summer, according to the dispatches,
and after making a complete investi-
cation of conditions as they found
them they reported back. The farm
ers and their families who are en-
route to this state recently disposed
of their holdings in Pennsylvania
and they are coming determined to
remain permanently.
Unlike the Brooklyn caravan
which arrived in the Buhl section
about three years ago, the present
caravan consists of experienced far
mers, acquainted with agricultural
conditions, and it is predicted these
men will be successful.
The caravan left Omaha few days
ago and viii come direct to Poeatello
where 1t will be entertained by the
chamber OF commerce.

then, he has seen his happy holiday

Preparation being made for seal
sale of Christmas seals for the sup
port of the Idaho nti-Tuberculosis
is now on, each seal sells for 1c and
95 per cent of the proceeds are to be
kept for work in Idaho in some

The only public health nursing
service is financed by seal sale funds.
The health crusade is supplied in
all counties and milk campaigns and
special nutrition classes for under
weight children are carried on in
many communities.
What is Mountain Home going to
do to help the good work on-simp-
ly buy Christmas seals, encourage
the workers, receive them kindly at
your door and buy more seals, not
only to decorate your Christmas mail
but help the underweight children
and wipe tuberculosis out OF our
state.

RED CROSS CALL
rs SUCCESSFUL

VIM. Carl Hunt, manager Pacific
Division American Red Gross said in
San Francisco last might that the
Eighth annual Roll Call, which
closed last week, promises to record
more than $500 members, which
was the figure reached nthe Pacific
Division last year. National enroll
ment in the Seventh Roll Call was
100000.
This membership" said Manager
Hunt, Constitutes our vote of con-
fidence' In the American National
Red Cross. These memberships are
expressions of individual trust in its
work. Our Membership Campaign,
which opens annually Armistice Day
and closes Thanksgiving Day, calls
upon all adults to renew their Red
Cross affiliation begun during the
War, when Red Gross membership
was the only expression for millions
of men and women whose hearts
were across the sea with our fighting
forces.
To-day, as we'll, Red Gross MEM
berships carry this will to do for
millions who want, not only to dis
charge through the Red Cross, the
remaining obligation to the disabled
ex-service man, but new obligations
to mitigate and prevent suffering.
''Innumerable communities In the
United States and other countries
have real reason for consideration of |
the American Red Cross on this
Thanksgiving Day as they review aid
received in time of disaster, epidem-
dc, or other disturbances.
"A thankful nation will include in
today's gratitudes a retrospective
glimpse of the work of the American
Red Gross, the organization delegat-
ed to be the great heart of nation
that lives at peace with the world.

to stand unique in our social organi-
cation as tangible expression of In
