withdrawing his 81 deposit week.

piled the boy, naming "a small car of
a popular make" as the papers often
call Mr.. Ford's well known automobile.

"All the other boys have automo-

on the defensive.

quired to pay weekly"
Five dollars" the boy stated. Il

Now. let's see helped the business
man. You pay 81 to your grand
mother and you pay So week on the

Yes, sir"
"And If you were out of the savings

of your salary"
Yes. sir" confirmed the boy.
What are you intending to do with
the car after you get it?''
''Oh, take my girl out riding.
"Oh, take your girl out riding. Do
you think you can run the car on 81

"Well--'
And how about buying your girl

Security for France.

With the possible exception of the
London conference which accepted
the Dawes plan for reparations pay
ments, there has not been held in Eu-
rope since the peace was signed a
more vita,ly important gathering than
the comi. < security pact conference.
If the conference is successful the
last really serious obstacle to Euro
pean recovery will have been re-
moved. If it fails, almost anything
may happen.
The question of security for France
has been at the root Of most of the
continents postwar difficulties. 1t
was confidently believed by the
French that all this had been ar
ranged at the peace conference, but
when the United States, and conse-
quently Great Britain, declined to
ratify the threepOwer security pact
negotiated at Versailles France found
herself in a position where she felt
exposed to the revenge of her late
enemies and dependent upon her own
RESOURCES LOT safety IWlCe Slice
then efforts have been made to safe
guard France from attack, both pro-
posals having failed. If the effort now
making should suffer a like fate
France probably will feel that it is
hardly worth while to try again.
The outlook is more hopeful today
than it Las been previously, because
Germany has come to a realization
that some such agreement is as neces-
sary to the reich as it is to France.
The problem would be comparatively
easy were only the French and Bel
gian frontiers of Germany involved,
as Berlin is fully committed to the
permanent loss of Alsace and Lor-
raine and the other western lines as
established at Versailles. But Ger
many is not reconciled to her eastern
boundaries as established by the peace
treaties and subsequent proceedings
under them, and France, on the other
hand, feels that she cannot afford to
assure her own safety while leaving
Poland and the nations Of the little
entente exposed to German attack.

A report that the American people
in a single year have been swindled
out of a billion dollars in the aggre-
gate has directed attention once more
to the need of great care in making
investments. The New York Better
Business Bureau, which has made the
estimate. assais especially shady stock
schemes. land deals and other similar
questionable investments.
What "a waste! And how ineXCus-
able"' exclaims the Duluth Herald, in
viewing the years loss of a billion
through swindlers. The modern bunko
artist" it notes, does not play with a
pea under three shells. He does not
sell gold bricks. He does not palm off
packages of waste paper for packages
of paper currency. But he sells stocks
in propositions that promise every
thing and yield nothing. He sells
worthless oil stock and mining stock.
and fruit lands in far-off Swamps, and
town lots in places that will never be
anything but the abomination of DESC
lation."
To the list of worthless things that
are being sold the Canton News adds
some of the old-time forms of bait, in
cluding "shares in the Brooklyn Bridge
and the Statue of Liberty" while the
victims ARE not confined TO the small
larger cities" Yet the News finds sat
isfaction in the fact that few of the
persons who have operated get-rich-
quick schemes have escaped paying the
penalty" and a host of them is now
serving time
"In turning over to promoters of
fra udulent schemes billion or more
yearly" the Green Bay Press Gazette
points out. the American people are
throwing away one-sixth of their an
nual surplus. However much laws for
the protection of investors may be i'm
proved, the individual cannot escape
the burden of personal responsibility.
There is no guaranty against all losses,
but inquiry before investment will help
nightly" Blame for the situation,
however, is placed by the Aberdeen
World upon the almost universal de-
sire to get something for nothing"
The World believes that mo law can
protect man against his own cupid
ity, no legislative decree can take out
Of a mans heart the desire to grow
rich overnight and without effort, and
so long as that Is the case, the swim
dlers will be as numerous as ever.

"All the blue sky laws of States and

Gle, cannot stop the foolish waste of
money in fake securities, until Mr.. and
Mrs. Average Citizen learn that "a 6
per cent investment and safety will
pay dividends long after the bright
promises of the get-rich quick schemes
have faded away" And as the har-
vest season arrives, with good crops
and prices above normal" the Poca-
tello Tribune warns the farmers
against the "slicker stock salesman"
calling attention to the many good
investments in all lines of activity"

Thrift of Americans
Is Found on Upgrade

The United States is held up as
the most extravagant Nation on the
globe, yet there are evidences that IL
is not so bad in this respect as 1t
has been painted. For instance, the
Federal Reserve Board report on saw
ings shows that in the 912 principal
savings banks in the country there
was on deposit on. August /.
$7,903, 100000, a half million dollars
more than those same banks reported
on the same date of 1924. The in
crease is equivalent to SIS for every
man, woman and child. No doubt
the United States does rank as the
most extravagant of all nations, but
it likewise leads all others in the
total amount of it's savings deposits
and there is ample evidence that the
practice of national thrift Is growing.

Condensed Economics.

SOnOenSe0 ECONOMIES.
When pages long great minds prepare
For use in print or speech,
We study them with patient care
To learn just what they teach.
The student bends his weary head
And with a thoughtful frown
Observes the scrolls before him spread
And tries to boil 'em down"
The page becomes a paragraph;
The paragraph a line,
Which may with ease be cut in half
To leave a phrase so fine.
The phrase grows fainter, by and by,
And when at last he's through,
He finds the problem stated by
The letters. II o T."
