THE IMPORTANCE OF
FOREIGN TRADE

For many decades we have pro-
duced a surplus of products of the
farm that has been sold in foreign
countries. AS long as we continue
to produce a surplus above domestic
consumption, it is a prime necessity
that there be market for it. It is
true that this surplus is but a frac-
ton of our total production. Never.
theless, it eXerts an effect upon the
price of the entire output which is
entirely disproportionate to it's rela-
tive size. A country store-keeper may
sell hundred straw hats at a fair
margin of profit but the twenty which
he may not be able to sell at all will
wipe out the profit on the entire
stock. The same thing is true of
wheat, of corn. of any product of
the farm
1t is true that we might exist with
out foreign trade that we might
depend exclusively upon domestic
consrr'p t'on. To 10 hat. however.
would require complete reorganiza.
lion of our whole commercial and
industrial structure. a reorganization
which would REQUIRE years Of time
and which would ontan losses beyond
calculation The more reasonable
alternative is 10 take steps toward the
restoration OF normal foreign mar.

STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN

"Aunt Emmy" said Jane, 81 wish
you would make something clear tc
me- Last night Mr. wilkins and Ted
were 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 I thought
maybe Ted and [ might buy one with
that $1,000 Daddy gave us for we'd
ding present, but I'd like to know
more about them first"
"You have the markings of fnan-
cier, Jane" laughed Aunt Emmy,
"since you have sense enough to stop,
look and listen before you buy. I 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 are
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 whom you buy q bond you loan
money to the corporation whose bond
you buy You do not buy a 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 Sc
lected with the advice Of someone
who knows"
How do you think one can know
if 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 good
business for ten years and has not
failed to pay a dividend during that
time the chances are that it will keep
on doing as we'll ualess 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-
inc in, of II oil
facilities for keeping in touch with
financial conditions, and they are al,
ways glad to help. ANNE B. AYMEs.
