Chance For shrcwd Buyer

In my last article | had something
to say about railroad stocks and
their rating as Investments. II Is
rarely advisable TO buy any stock
when prices arc rising with great
rapidity and speculative enthusiasm
Is at its height. That ia to say It
is not advisable II Investment Ia the
purpose. Speculation IL governed
by a different rule. with that we
are not concerned here. Investors
will do better to select their com
mon stock which they expect to re-
tain over a long period in times OF
market depression. All this seems
self evident but II needs 10 be en-
~phasized In times like these.
There is another point deserving
Of attention in this connection.
When interest Is concentrated upon
the stock market. investment bonds
are neglected and Il Is often possible
for tho shrewd buyer to pick up bar
gains while nobody Is looking. so
to speak. Bonds OF Investment
quality have little or no speculative
possibilities and because price fuc-
tustions arc narrow and slow they
are not usually favored by traders
who are anxiaus for action"

Standardization of WEIGHT
OF Bread Loaves Occupies
Attention of Legislature

ments in bread making did not
stress size or weight OF loaf, but
nutritive value. They pointed out
that II was perfectly possible to
mako bread with no other materials
than flour. water. yeast and salt.
The modern loaf. however, as pro
duced in America, not only contains
a maximum of nutriment but Is pre-
pared and distributed In a thorough.
ly sanitary way, the cost OF such
preparation and distribution out.
weighing tho cost of the nav ma
terials.
George @. Barber. chairman of the
board of the Continental corporation,
said:
The bread business can not
longer be considered a single unit
but must be definitely correlated
with n number of other businesses,
such as milling, sugar, eggs and
milk. paper containers and trans
portation.
"our organization. for example,
requires annually approximately
three million barrels of -four, 30
million pounds of sugar, $500, 0oo
pounds of eggs. 600. 900 pounds OF
butter and about ono million pounds
OF shortening. Other commodities
required amount 70 nearly $14. 900,
600 a year. including raislns, paper
and containers. Tho baking bust
ness never can become a monopoly,
No business can which has to meet
competition of the housewives Of the
country. Give the public what
pleases It's taste at a price which
is right and you will have a steadily
increasing market for your product
But fail to please that taste or try
to Sell the product at a price moi
commensurate with value and you
are likely to be deserted by your
patrons who can and will take
bread making back to their OWE
Kitchens"
He added that 80 per cent Of the
bread consumed in America is still
made in the home, whore nutritivs
value and not weight was the stand

sighted baker would rather increase
his profits by increasing volume O.

This is in conformity with statute
law. Every year. large numbers of

or have mislaid them.

BEATEN BY REPUBLICANS

A stormy scene was witnessed dur
ing the county mass-meeting of the
Republicans. held in Luray Saturday.
when Lewis Willis, twice a candidate
for the House of Delegates from that
district, took the floor and proposed
a plank in the county platform and
to be proposed at the State conven-
ton. forbidding the teaching of evo-
luton in the schools Of Virginia.
The measure was fought by C. ].
Mauck, prominent farmer and B. G.
Stricken. After bitter debate, the
measure was voted down.
