STRAIGHT TALKS
p. WITH AUNT EMMY
ON BEING A SMALL INVESTOR

ut seems to me. Aunt Emmy"
said Jane, that 1t is rather silly for
US to be talking about investments
when all We can save is about $500
year after all our expenses and
life insurance are paid"
You're wrong there. II you save
$500 year you are doing very well
indeed. and remember that the in
surance you speak OF is in the ma

mean dealing in lost Of money. thou

There certainly can't be many good
securities which people with SO lit
tie money as we have could buy"
Indeed, there are a number OF
good investments for the small in.
vestor." said Aunt Emmy. Even
If you could only set aside five or
ten dollars a month you can be sure
of one investment that you can safe
ly make on your own responsibility
and that is putting your money IN a
savings bank, the safest and most
conservative way OF making 1t work
for you. Even though the interest
will be moderate. you will feel safe.
Then there are other securities you
can buy, but don't buy any before
getting sound advice from some
trust company or bank. These In
vestments are real estate mort.
cages, industrial corporation securi.
ties. public utility corporation Sc.
curities,. government securities
any one Of these securities may be
bought on the installment plan
You may pay as little as five dollars

STRENGTH IN RESERVE
Nations Financial Resources
Modified for General Good
When Need Comes.

There are more than thirty thou
sand banks in the United States,
largely owned by residents Of the
cities, towns and villages in which
they operate. They receive deposits
OF coin. currency or credits for the
current use OF business and for safe
keeping, and they loan out these
funds at interest to proper and
profitable business enterprises. ag,
ricultural, industrial or commercial,
always bearing in mind the neces'
sity OF having on hand, or quickly
available. sufficient funds to meet
the demands of such customers as
desire to make Withdrawals.
To meet the demands OF such Gus.
toners and others upon the funds in
their care bankers must maintain
reserves-in their vaults, on de-
post with other banks. invested in
securities which command a ready
market, or it may be in the form
Of call loans, payment Of which they
can demand at will.
Before the Establishment OF the
Federal Reserve System-in 1907,
in 1896. in 1873 and many times be-
fore-the banks OF the nation were
unable 10 assist each other when
panic threatened. There was no
provision for effective leadership,
and cooperative action was out OF
the question. Bank reserves. car
ried with other banks which were
no less embarrassed were least
available when they were needed
most.
Every country bank had reserves
in one or more Of the larger cities
In its section as we'll as in the great
centers Of population, and since the
correspondent banks paid interest
on sIch deposits they were COM
PEELED to loan them out, usually at
call. Whenever panic or the grow
ing fear OF 1t led any bank to draw
upon its reserves-and panic usual
ly led every bank to do so-the cor
respondent. in order to meet such
demands, was compelled to with
draw fhe money from active SER
vice and the thousands Of such
Withdrawals. aggregating many mil
lions of dollars. only made the gen.
eral situation worse by restricting
essential business operations and in
many cases compelling the sale Of
securities. perhaps at grievous loss.
The direct result in more than
one instance was a complete break
down Of the country's banking ma
chinery and a prolonged period Of
resultant depression in industry
and commerce.
The great achievement Of the
Federal Reserve System has been
the massing OF the nations mon
etary armies. By this means It has
rendered financial panic impossible
In America and has eliminated the
worst features OF business depres-
sion.

ANNUAL SIDNEY
Center FAIR TO
Be HELD SATURDAY

Saturday. September 81, is the date
set or the Worlds Fair at Sidney
Center, and will mark the 43d annual
exhibition and fair to be held in this
town. AS decreed by custom admis-
and t..ere will be an old fashioned
baked bean dinner with brownbread,
hot coffee, pickles and all the rest of
the fixin's, served at noon in the
Grange Hall. Every fall brings a
larger and better crowd to this fair
and II the weather man is in a good
humor, the crowd this year will sur
pass any other in the history of the
event.
The grounds about the hall will be
taken up by "hot-dog" vendors and
quick lunch men. and of course there
will be the usual number Of games
of skill, where the fairgoer may try
his or her skill in hopes of procuring
beautiful doll or some other attrac-
tive premium. The only restriction
made by the fair association, is. that
no gambling outfits will be allowed
on the grounds.
President George S. Shaw looks for
a fine display of farm machinery and
automobiles this year, for the asso-
citation allows free space for exhibits
of this kind and 1t is probable that
many local dealers will take advan-
tage of this fine opportunity to ad-
vertise their machines. Last year
brought the largest number of ma
chine dealers ever at the fair, and
arrangements have been made to
provide plenty of space for them this
season.
The field south of the grounds will
be the center of attraction in the lat
ter part of the afternoon when the
married men will cross bats with the
single men. There are rumors that
some of the boys have been working
hard during the summer and have
developed into a classy bunch of
pill whangers."
The cattle stalls will be full of good
looking animals and keen COMPETE
ton is expected here, for several far
mers have signified their intentions
Of entering their prize stock and each
man hopes to win the prizes. Per-
sons who reside out of town are not
allowed to contend for premiums and
those competing must leave their
names and articles entered with the
secretary on the day of the fair.
Stock and articles for exhibition
must be at the hall on the grounds
by 9 o'clock. The neat stock will be
called at 10 a. NJ colts at II A. NJ.
and horses will harness at 1 2. NJ.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon. the
much looked for drawing of horses
and oxen will take place and this
will be followed by the bicycle race.
The fair would not be complete
without a baby show and this will
be held in the Grange Hall at 80
directly after the dinner. Two prizes
have been offered of $1.00 each, one
to the largest baby eight months old
or under and the other to the small
est baby five months old or older
The committee of judges on this
contest are Mrs. A. w. Hammond,
Mrs. E. c. Wyman and Mrs. G. NJ.
Ellis. :.
A pleasant feature OF the day will
be the sunlight hop between and 5
P. NJ. and n good dance orchestra
has been engaged for the occasion
1t is also expected that an out of
town band will play on the grounds
during the afternoon but no definite
arrangements have been made yet
A long list of the premiums will be
offered.
