 It's long way to Mt.

And when your long voyage is ended and the Harding Gateway you've gone thru, with all the good eats and fine seen. cry, you'll be bear.

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
A Hard Lesson.

One experience is common to- all
Investment advisers, An inquirer
presents a list Of securities including
one or more speculative stocks or
bonds The rating of these specula-
tions is so uncertain as to make II
evident they should be disposed of at
once. If a sound investment petition
is to be maintained When, however,
the banker suggests to his client the
sale of these obviously unsuitable Sc
curities he is met with the objection
that they were originally purchased
at a much higher price than the
present market.
ct shall have to wait until the
price comes back to what I paid
before can SELL the investor pleads.
This, Of course. il o fallacy. The
price originally paid has nothing
whatever to do with the matter.
This is avery hard lesson to learn
but a much needed one. IL by any
chance the price should recover to
approximately the purchase figure the
argument for selling would not be
as strong as otherwise. Such price
appreciation would indicate material
Improvement in the status OF the Sc
curity. 1t would denote a raising in
investment grade. 1t might in that
case even be advisable to hold the
stock or bond indefinitely, but the
point is there is no assurance that
any particular speculation will re-
cover to the original price within
any reasonable time. 1t may go the
other way and the loss become great
er instead of smaller. Both these
possibilities must be taken into con-
side ra ton.
II the particular investor whose list
is under scrutiny is unable to assume
the risk involved in any specific hold
ing the only thing to do is to sell out
and reinvest In something about
which there can be no question. Nor
will conservative investment bank
err recommend in such cases any other
speculation. Possibly the new specu-
lation would turn out more favorably
than the first, to make Up the loss
sustained by such a sale. Possibly
not. In any case that is not invest
ment. The wise and courageous thing
to do when you find yourself in this
unfortunate predicament is to &C
|cept the loss the speculation has
brought and get back on firm basis
instead of foundering around from
one uncertainty to another.

The grain market developed a
slightly weaker tone toward the close
of the week ending November %, ac-
cording TO the weekly grain market
review of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. A somewhat
overbought condition developed in
the European markets for bread
grains, which resulted in lower prices
at Liverpool and was reflected in a
less active demand for these grains
in the United States markets.
After reaching new high levels for
the crop year about the middle OF
the week corn prices declined sharply
TO around last weeks close, as receipts
Of new corn of better quality in
creased materially. The demand for
feed grains continued fairly active
and while the oats market followed
the fluctuations in the corn market,
barley held generally steady through
out the week.

TRADING ACTIVE IN DAYS MART SOuthside Has Spotlight For Strenuous
 Session

Real estate transactions reported by brokers Saturday totalled oyer $1OO,OOO. Other deals carried through the week, the details of which were not made pug lie, were declared to have topped a half of a million dollars.
 Southside trading was very much in evidence in the publication of sales. The Lamar Smith Realty company, a re- gently organized concern which has apparently been caught on the crest of the activity, reported $72, 300 in trades on the southside with additional prop erty valued at $92,500 in the process of sale.
 Among the pieces which changed hands through the Smith company were: 1913 Avenue c, 50x140 feet, from Thomas Roscoe to s. J. Brintle !; 30 foot Avenue F piece near Nineteenth street also to Brintle; Avenue D 50- foot pieces near Twenty-fourth street from H. M. Fulenwider and J. A. Simpson to T. A. and B. A. Chase Robert Smith bought from Louis Meugn 50-foOt piece on Avenue D near Twenty-fourth street. .-.
 The McDavid agency also reported a large number of trades on the south side, seven fresh ones being checked in Saturday with one piece changing hands three times. In pushing negotia. tions for the deals two of the sales men, Kyle Lawson and L. Sutherlin, took the initiative.
 The largest sale of the day was made in closing for the northeast cor ner of Fifteenth street and Fourth ave nue from Frank Nelson, IT,, to T. W, Winton for a figure near $37, 800. The property has a frontage of 30 feet on Fourth.

Suburban building activities are par ticularly noticeable in Central Park Highland, a subdivision adjoining Gen. tral park. Since the property's open ing a year ago residential development has transformed the area into thickly settled section. It is estimated that over 70 homes have already been com pleted with dozen more now under construction.
 One of the lading features of the de- velopment of the subdivision and an example of the pains the promoting com pany is taking with improvements, is the pavement constructed. These road ways have a five-inch concrete base which is considerably more substantial than the average city street paving pro- gram. Sewerage, gas, lights and water have also been arranged.
 The subdivision consists of 40 acres with D per cent of the lots sold. It is Being pushed by the Central Park Highland Land company. headed by c. J. Donald, president; N. l.. Andrews, vice president; and J. I. Harden, sec retary and treasurer.
