a family is necessarily the most bril-
liant?-O. X. G.
A. According to recent reports there
is no scientific basis for the popular
belief that the eldest child has the
best chance of obtaining prominence
Examples of brilliant men contradict
ing this belief are James +. Cooper,
who was the eleventh of twelve chill
dren, and Gen. Sherman, who came in
the middle Of a large family.
@. What causes the deaths so prev
alent this time of the year among
farmers while engaged in storing en-
silage?-R. 5. s.
A. Numerous studies on ensilage
have shown that the green fodder, on
being placed in the silo, Immediately
begins to undergo changes opposite 70
normal plant metabolism; that Is, the
oxygen Of the surrounding air is con
sumed and carbon dioXid gas liber
ated. In some cases the oxygen i
almost consumed. The carbon dioxid
surrounding the particles of ensilage
1s supposed to be the principal pre-
servative OF the green fodder. Be
cause OF the high specific gravity Of
the carbon dioxid, it tends TO remain

financial responsibility back of him
those are familiar types using ia
miliar palaver.
One of the newer methods is the
telephone canvass. II has the ad-
vantage that d voice on the telephone
can lie without limit and has mini.
mum of identity if trouble should come.
A voice has been known to talk a
stoCkholder into agreeing TO switch
his stock; then the salesman appears
bearing not the substitute stock. but
only a receipt. Sometimes he gets
away with it. Frequently the victim
sends his stock by mail
Lists of stockholders in unsuccessful
companies are an asset to the tele-
phone operator. A standard device:
the holder is told the salesman has a
client for the poor stock. but wants a
larger block than the victim holds.
More can be bought. to make up the
required block if the stockholder will
furnish a checl with the shares he is
selling.
Gets Stock BY Mail
Recently a broker advertised for
stock in certain company, saving
the company was not having divi.
dends; he offered $50 a share. He got
considerable stock by mail. though
the company had resumed dividends
and its shares were worth $50 in the
market.
There are special pitfalls in stock
options, and the bucketshop is a prob
lem in itself. In the opinion of. some
authorities the financial losses to the
pubic through crooked brokers equal
the loss to swtndling promoters.
Orthodox business has its hazards,

rate OF corporations has been esti-
mated at l out of 10. Twenty years
ago a list was compiled of legitimate
companies whose securities were obso-
lete and worthless: it showed $4,000
names. Seven years later a new list
with none Of the old names. ran to
26.800. In various cities there are
auctions of securities. In a way they
are a graveyard of stocks Often ex-
cellent securities come up. but often
the items read like this, "2,0 900 shares,
par value $10O," and the price that
takes the 100000 par lot is 81 cash.
Such examples stand for the vicissi-
tudes of legitimate business-bad
Judgment, worse luck, poor manage
ment-as we'll as for less excusa Bile
things.
The moral is simply this: Invest
ment at best calls for intelligence and
care, while at worst it doesn't give
even a gamblers chance.
Now and then the stock swindler
takes a chance himself. But it is some
such proportion as this: Ninety-eight
per cent Of the income from stock
sales going to the sales force. I per

st. Paul-Calvin Coolidge. the Ma

Norse-American Centennial and were
greeted by literally tens OF thousands
OF cheering citizens. anxious to do
them honor.
Never In the history Of the state
has the chief executive of the Nation
received a more sincere welcome. II
Is conservatively estimated that at
the minimum 100000 people saw him
in the Twin Cities and gave him
welcome.
At the state fair grounds, where he
addressed probably the largest crowd
he has ever faced. the President
sounded the keynote Of international
cooperation.
Having been greeted by fully $780,
900 people on the streets of Minneap-
oils and st. Paul during the day. and
having spoken to at least 100, 900 more
at the State Fair grounds. the Presi-
dent had another experience with the
people of the northwest.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
held a public reception In the rotunda
OF the state capitol. They were as
sisted by the Secretary of State and
Mrs. Kellogg and Governor and Mrs.
Christianson. Only few Of the wait
ing thousands found the opportunity
to shake the hand Of the chief execu-
tive. Secret service men, used to
large crowds. estimated that there
were at least $4,000 surrounding the
capitol anxious to be let In. Right
after the reception the President left
for Washington.
