In Memory.

Of my brother Harley who passed
away, October Is, 1923.
Il can not say and will not say,
That he is dead-he is just away.
With CHEEKY smile and wave of
hand,
He wandered into an unknown land;
And left us dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be since he is there.
Thinking of him, faring on as dear
In the love of there as the love of
here.
Thinking of him as the same l say:
He is not dead-he is just away!

All honest securities dealers unite IN
warning the investor to buy on the
partial-payment plan only after MAX
ing sure of the financial responsibility
and standing of the firm with which
he does business
THE APPEAL TO PREJUDICE-A chief
stock in trade of the unreliable pro-
naoter is misinformation which plays
upon the prejudices and emotions OF
prospects. This style of promoter
points out supposed "evils" and "spe-
cial privileges" existing In the world
of ''high finance" He may urge that
his venture is poor mans PROPOSE
ton, free from the Large underwrf&-
ing profits which the big fellows get "
Usually such sellers endeavor to
throw suspicion on others to dwarf 4
from themselves.
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY Real
estate the safest security On earth. :
is the type of slogan under which at
times INSCRIPTIONS operators aN-
deavor to unload property on persons
who want to make an investment, but
not a poor speculation. Experienced
opinion, supported by impartially-
gathered facts, forms the only basis
upon which to buy real estate, espe-
cially when you cannot see 4 befone
you buy.
MINING FALLAcIEs - Many mining
ventures are honest but fail because
the promoters are unable to finance
the proposition through to snccesus-
full conclusion. Many other mining
promotions are not good prospects al
though they may be represented rs
such. If a small investor wishes 30
buy mining stocks he can do 30 By
purchasing securities of established
mining companies with records Of
substantial earnings and of dividends
regularly paid to stockholders.
ON RISKS To almost every one
come opportunities to speculate in oil
schemes. Very often such offerings
are misrepresented. Usually they are
sheer speculations, all the risks being
taken with the stockholders money,
while the promoters pay themselves
handsomely through stock sales, com
missions, salaries or Organization ex-
penses." The investor who desires to
buy mining or oil securities should get
facts and experienced opinion as to
issues of established, successful oil
companies. Even the legitimate min
ing or oil business is speculative and
depends for profits upon sound com
bination of properties, organization,
finances and management.
INVENTION DELUsIoNs-Th gener-
al public too often believes that large
profits are to be gained through pat
ented processes or devices. Inven-
lions are fascinating means for
separating inexperienced investors
from their savings. Even when prac-
teal from a marketing and manufac-
turing standpoint, patents are usually
only moderately valuable. The small
investor cannot afford to take an "In.
vention Chance" with his funds.

ATLANTIC CABLE cuEssEs.

Many Said it Would Not Sink TO the
Bottom.
Whom it was first proposed to lay a
marine cable many intelligent people
said it would not sink to the bottom,
would remain suspended at certain
depth because of the density OF the wa
ter due to pressure from above. OF
course, the pressure increases with
the depth on all sides of the cable in
its descent through the sea, but as
practically everything on earth is more
compressible than water it is obvious
that the iron, wire. yarn, gutta-percha.
and copper conductor forming the ca
BILE must be more and more CONF
pressed as they descend. Thus the ca
BILE constantly increases in density, or
specific gravity. "a going down, while
the equal bulk of water surrounding it
continues to have, practically speak
ing. very nearly the same specific
gravity as at the surface Without
this valuable property of water the
hydraulic press would not exist.
Some Of the most distinguished nav
al men have made the blunder that IS
mentioned above. Ever at compar-
atively recent period Capt. Marryat OF
the British Navy, the celebrated maui
teal author, wrote in one Of his now
els: 'tWhat a mine OF wealth must
lie buried in the sands! What riches
lie entangled among its rocks or re-
main suspended in the unfathomable
gulf where the compressed fluid is
equal in gravity to that which it encir~
cles!"
When the first Atlantic cable was
about to be laid, to obviate this sup
rosed difficulty it was grayely pro-
posed to festoon the cable across at
a given maximum depth between
buoys and floats. or even parachutess
at which ships could call, hook on, and
send messages to the shore Others
proposed to apply gummed cotton to
the cable, set it afioat, and leave the
gnm to dissolve and ''let the cable
down quietly. 's-Exchange

BIG RETURNS-lt Is easy to promise
an abnormally high rate of dividends,
or large market profits, to prospective
investors. Heavy risks usually accom-
pany such lures. They are too often
the chief talking points Of financial
charlatans.
PROMINENT NAMES = Promoters
know that the names and endorse
ments of successful men carry weight.
They are often used without authori-
cation. The prudent investor will look
beyond names and viii investigate.
THE "GRoUND FLOOR" Am oppor-
tunity to "get in on the ground floor
often turns out to be the same sort
of opportunity which the proverbial
spider extended to the fly.
INSIDE INFoRMATIoN-'tf Inside tips
are usually expensive pieces of misin-
formation. When used as "confden-
tial information" to influence the
small investor they are generally of
spurious character.
THE FICTTTIoUs ADVANCE Profess
siOnal promoters often arbitrarily adj
vance the prices of the shares they
sell as their campaigns gain Roadway
to create buying excitement and in
duce new buyers to get in before the
next rise. Such price advances are
artificial, usually employed merely to
speed up the unloading of shares.
THE TELEPHONE CANVASS - Irre-
sponsible vendors find it easy to work
over the telephone to victimize incau-
tious investors. The cautious investor
will not enter into securities transac-
tions by telephone unless he person.
ally knows with whom he is dealing.
THE UNsELFTsH PROMOTER = The
promoter who "gives his services" In
organizing company or as an officer
of it and advertises that he does so,
viii bear watching.
THE IRRESPONSIBLE GUARANTEE-Ir-
responsible sellers of securities often
guarantee" certain profits, or even
that they will buy back shares when
the purchaser wants his money.
Promises of this nature are made to
create confidence and to lull suspicion.
They should indicate to the prospec-
tive purchaser a special need to in
vestigate.
REORGANIZATION" AND MERCER =
Unsuccessful companies forced into
Reorganization" often call upon
stockholders for new funds. Response
to such appeals often means merely
throwing good money after bad. A
conspicuously fraudulent device has
been the merger" by which a new
company trading upon fresh pros
poets and promises, takes over the
assets of an unsuccessful venture and
issues new stock for old, provided the
shareholder pays 25 per cent or so in
cash.
THE PARTIAL-PAYMENT PLAN This
helpful method of selling securities
has been much abused. People who
prefer to buy securities out of their
weekly or monthly earnings, are
sometimes victimized by vendors Of
stocks which have little or no value.
