When you hunt ruftcd grouse DO
on your toes! Keep your eyes ahead,

What has happened to the 1925

country l do not know. But tho
birds are not there. The eXplana.
ton that fits best seems to be n

However, grouse hunting. where
the birds have been wlsed from

must concentrate on your work,
must remember what you are hunt

EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

From time to time 1t happens that
a legitimate company, the stock of
which was purchased in good faith as
an investment, meets with disaster
and the shares sell down almost to
the vanishing point. Eventually re-
organization is proposed and the
bankers draw a plan for new capital
which is generally furnished by the
stockholders, who are called upon to
pay an assessment. The question
then arises whether the stockholder
shall contribute new money in the
hope of recovering some part of his
original loss. This is an extremely
difficult question to answer.
Many corporations. the shares of
which now sell at very high figures
and are rightly considered conserva-
tive Investments. have at one time or
another gone through receivership
and emerged stronger and more pros
porous than ever The trouble is that
there Is never any assurance that this
happy ending will come about in any
specific case. If there was such as
surance the stockholders would con-
tribute eagerly the new funds neces-
sary, to put the corporation on it's
feet. At
The only way to look at this prob
lem is to disassociate ones self from
previous experience and to consider
the matter entirely in the light of a
new adventure. This done. the nature
of the speculation, for that is what II
always is. becomes apparent. Ask
yourself the question whether or not
you would take this chance If you had
never had any interest in the COM
pany previously. Collect all the per-
tinent statistics and then look around
and see If there be not some equally
advantageous opportunity elsewhere
for the same price.
Do not allow yourself to be swayed
by the feeling that you must make up
a loss in the same place you origi-
nally incurred It. Sometimes that hap
pens, but those times are exceptions
And IN any case remember that no
matter what your first intention may
have been, you have now been forced
into the position of g. speculator.

RICHMOND, Va. March "a COM
parison OF the agriculture in Virginia
and North Carolina, compiled by the
State Department of Agriculture,
shows the farm area in North Caro-
lima is larger than in Virginia In
the former State there are 27Io00
farms, with a total OF 30, 022, 900 acres.
while Virginia has $4,000 farms, with
a total of is, S,561 900 acres. While the
total value OF all farm property in
North Carolina was slightly higher
than in Virginia, the value per farm
in Virginia amounted to s6,425, COM
pared with s4,634 in North Carolina
The average value per acre of all
farm property in Virginia was $64.47,
compared with s62.44 in our neighbor-
ing State.
Virginia Live Stock Lend.
The Tar Heel State leads the Old
Dominion in the total value of all
crops, owing to the fact that the pro-
duction of cotton and tobacco, the
principal cash crops, is much greater
in that State; but Virginia leads in
the value of live stock on farms, the
total value of live stock sold and
slaughtered, the value of dairy prod
uets and the value of chickens and
eggs. In the production of cereal
crops Virginia also leads by a COM
Portable margin. The total value for
such crops in this State in 1920 was
S10S.724, 900, compared with s9461T, 600
for North Carolina.
In the production of hay, potatoes
and apples Virginia far surpasses its
neighboring State, and in the latter
two crops this State ranks as one of
the leaders in the entire country.
Old Dominion Better Equipped.
The population in both States is
largely rural. In North Carolina
nearly 81 per cent of the population
lives on farms, and in Virginia II per
cent. Virginia farms are consider
ably ahead of those in North Caro-
lima in the matter of farm equipment
such as motor trucks, tractors and
telephones. In 1920 1.3 per cent of
trucks, while only 09 per cent of
those in North Carolina had trucks
There were tractors on 1.2 per cent
of the farms in Virginia, while only
o.S per cent of the North Carolina
farms had tractors.
Telephones were found on IS per
cent of the Virginia farms, compared
with 12.2 per cent of the farms in
our neighboring State. Water was
piped into 81 per cent of the farms
in this State, against 1.6 per cent In
North Carolina. We find that AZ per
cent of the farms in this State had
gas and electric light in 1920, COM
pared with 2.9 per cent in North
Carolina

and American Interests. The Brit
ish are rapidly making their island
of Trinidad a storage and refining
center. The Dutch are taking similar
steps with Curacao. So far the Eu-
ropean interests have the balance of
power in that section.
Any effort to exert political pressure
in Central or South America un-
doubtedly would involve the United
States through the Monroe Doctrine.
Irrespective of the interests of her
nationals.
In Mexico, the trend is in American
favor, since Great Britain has declined
