The world seems to be for living in the
great open spaces. rather than in
cramped expensive apartments. the
problem of where and how to acquire

is possible, however. by remodeling
old houses. for the family of moderate
means to own its own home or even a
country home in addition to its city
apartment. The country house can
even be had with profit for it can be
leased for short periods and be re-
Earded as an investment rather than a
liability and luxury.

One way to get at the bottom Of

than have to explain it away.
Farming is as much a profession as
practicing law, medicine or engineer

of them.
In many homes the man makes the
living and the woman does the living

This company is spending upwards
of a half million dollars to the end of

During the first half of 1925, the
amount of new securities purchased by
investors i'm this country exceeded
So, ,175, 100000, surprising the invest
ment of the corresponding period of
1924 by more than $300,0OO,OOO. OF
this total over $50OOO0,OO0 went into
stocks of corporations. In other words
in the first six months of 1926 the
American people invested more than
five times as much in bonds as in
stocks
One Of the best tests of national
prosperity is the investing power Of
the people. The investing of more
than S14,OO0,000 a day in home and
foreign securities not only reflects
prosperity, but also an increasing adj
herence to the principles of thrift
taught by the Liberty Loan campaigns.
Further. such an enormous investment
shows the confidence of experienced
investors In the strength and continu-
ed stability of industry.
Some one has said that when all
the people are working the country
is prosperous A country is really
prosperous only when its citizens save
a part of their individual profits and
make their savings grow by investing
in dependable, fair.yielding securities.
When saved dollars are working IN
safe employment, teaming up their
earning power with individual earning
power, the prosperity Of the nation and
its citizens is doubly assured.

POLO COST MAY
COME DOWN
SOON
Ponies, Very Costly, Now Be-
ing Made From Western
Mustangs

ALDERSHOT, England. May IL.
English players take to polo as
game with which to pass warm
summer afternoons. Americans lake
it as a stern, disciplinary game in
which they must specialize and ex-
eel beyond all others.
That, in the opinion Of Major
Beard, captain of the American
army polo team, which will play
the British army team on May 20,
is the essential difference between
American and English polo. and the
reason for American superiority at
the game.
The English are so awfully good
humored about their sports said
Major Beard. They take sports
much less seriously than we do in
America"
Major Beard derided the idea that
American players have superior
hitting power.
There Is nothing in that" he
said "In last falls international
series in America the English stars.
Major Hurndall and Major Atkinson,
were as hard hitters as any I have
seen; but they got very little oppor-
tunity to practice together-and
team work is the essence of good
polo.
1.-THE future of polo, as a game.
was never more bright. I firmly
believe that polo will attain a pop
ularity 1t has never before ap-
preached. even in the minds of it's
most enthusiastic supporters.
1T is going to be a game which
men with moderate incomes may
play; 1t will not be confined en-.
tirely to the millionaire or the man
Of marvellous talent and ability
with horse and ball. whom only
rich clubs can support.
"At present, of course, the popu-
larity of the game is restricted
largely by the tremendous cost of
ponies.
"As every schoolboy will tell
you supply and demand rule the
price of most commodities. 1t is
just the same with polo ponies.
There are very few really good
made ponies to be had. Among
my string I have four ponies which
this time last year were rounding
up cattle in the West. They are
now four of the best first-year
ponies ! have ever had.
About two months practice with
mallet and ball was all they really
needed to make them very useful"

Foreman at the Washington A. G.

Jacks is we'll known to the
local fans. as he was the one boxer
to stop Joe Dundee in his early
career and since has boxed him a
draw. The little Englishman is a
heady boxer and fair puncher,
and will give any boy his weight a
good battle.
One of Jacks latest important
battles was with Danny Kramer,
the Philadelphia southpaw, who
Jacks had on the floor several times
and over whom he received a deci-
sion.
Foreman, however, is not worry

country and in England, and be-

Johnny Doyle, hardpunching

frames. Jimmy Waterman is down
