Trained investors always buy Sc
eurities that have a substantial loan
value. One of the surest methods of
determining the value of any stock
- to seek loan on it. If your banker
declines to consider it as collateral
you can rest assured its marketability
does not amount to much.

NO EARLY TO BED"
Septua genarians Scout the Idea That
 Practice Is Beneficial


 Tine "early to bed" rule receives little favor among a group of septuagenarians and octogenarians who have replied to a Questionnaire of a New York paper on the secret of hale longevity. MT. Edison says bluntly that the observ- ance of this rule produces stupidity" Luther Burbank replies that going to bed early is not bad idea If man will stay awake and think He has writ ten all his books in bed at intervals when he has happene to wake up in the night or early in the morning The notes made then are typewriter later and put into shape for publication.
 Most of these veterans agree, too, that mans work, if he takes it seri- ously enough, provides him with suf- ficient exercise. If 8 man dosnt over eat, MT. Edison contends, he will not find it necessary to resort to assorted salisthenics to work off the burden upon his digestive system. Moderation in eating seems, indeed, to be the one help towrds good health and long life that commends itself to all who have taken part in this symposium.
 T reduced my weight to where l thought it should be-" writes Mir. Edi- son, 'by diminishing the daily input of food, and thereafter kept my weight constant by regulating the quantity of food. Not one person in ten thousand will do this" Similarly Cyrus H. K. Curtis declares 'the whole question of longevity is summed up in what you put into your body and what you get outof it by elimination" For himself he takes a balanced ration, rarely touching meat or sweets, but using fruit or fruit juices at least once a day.

 Among the Eastern or Santee Siou at least, the following customs were {, vogue:

 OF PLANTS IN HIS
 GARDEN AT HOME
Emporia Man Gets Won derful Results By His
 Own Efforts

EMPORIA, Kan, Sept. 1.-Frank Agrelius, professor of botany at the Emporia Teachers college, is the cham pion town gardener of Kansas, if the number of different trees, plants and shrubs grown in his yard has any weight in awarding the championship. On plot of ground 113 feet wide and 190 feet long, Professor Agrelius has 2S6 varieties of plants. Agrelius' house is 2S by 32 feet. his front lawn occu- pies the first 90 feet of the property and in addition he has a chicken house and a garage. On the remaining ground he raises what is believed to be the largest variety of plants known in Kan sas.
 Agrelius has 17 varieties of shade and ornamental trees, including null berry, walnut, pawpaw, poplars, ever greens and elms. His evergreens are of various kinds, including arbor vitae spruce, pines, juniper and cedars.
 The garden has q kinds of fruit trees. Six varieties of apples, peaches, plums, prunes, apricots, pears, and cher ries bear abundantly, and the other fruits are raspberries, entrants, goose berries, blackberries and strawberries.
 Few Kansas yards have half as many shrubs as Agrelius grows. He has many Kinds of roses, lilacs, hydrangeas, cle- matis, mock orange and other Towering shrubs-29 varieties in all-and $50 feet of priyit, Osage orange and ibohum hedge.
 One hundred and fifty-five kinds of ornamental herbs are in the yard.
 With all these plants to make the yard beautiful, Agrelius still finds room for the useful, if more lowly, perennials, such as rhubarb. asparagus and horse radish. In addition he has a vegetable garden which supplies the family.
 Professor Agrelius, tends the garden himself.

actually declined in volume. The domi- nance of Europe in our foreign com merce has passed. f3
 But business men are now hopefully speculattng upon the possible, results of the Dawes plan translated into ac- ton. This plan. with the stabilization of German finances as its object, can do much for the financial and commer- cial development of western Europe. financially stabilized Germany, with working capital for it's vast productive enterprises, will require larger imports of raw materials and foodstuffs. Repa- rations payments by Germany will mean money for the allied nations to spend. German purchases, whether made directly of this country or moi. will stimulate demands from other na- tions.
 Progress toward brighter days in Eu- rope may be slow. but progress of any kind will be welcome, for we can sell to Europe many products, the market for which is undeveloped elsewhere.
