DON'T CONFUSE VALUE WITH
PRICE MARKS

The average person often gets a
wrong impression from the iiuctua-
tions in the stock market, and, if he
has money to invest, pays more at
| tention to the market quotations
than is any concern of his. He gets
prices confused with values. There is
vast difference between price and
value. If an extra dividend an
nouncement or some other thing
causes the stock market to go up or
down, it should affect largely the
stock traders, not the sound invest
ors. The traders make their profit,
or loss, on price changes. The in
vestor gets his. return from sound
values. Values are what he has put
his money into, not prices. II his
bonds appreciate, that is, gain few
dollars in market price, that doesn't
make his bonds sounder. Unless he
needs to sell, it's nothing TO him. Or |
if his bonds drop a dollar or two in
the market price, that doesn't make
the bonds unsound. They will con-
tinue to pay the interest promised
at the appointed time and the prin-
cipal in full when it is due.
The stock exchange performs
very necessary and valuable service
in providing a market for securities.
But the person who has not the time
money, training and experience to
be a professional trader does a very
thing when he buys stock
on a margin. He is not investing;
he isn't buying values, as when he
buys sound securities to hold. He IS
buying the hope that prices will
change the way he desires. In real
ity he isn't even specializing; he is
gambling. A furry in the market
doesn't touch the man who buys
values. But it may wipe out at any
time the man who bets on price
changes.

FEELS HE WAS UNJUSTLY
TREATED.
COMMUNICATED

COMMUNICATED
April 14th, 1925.
The Editor of Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear Sir:
am writing to ask you to correct
statement made in your paper on
Friday, April 10th. 1 refer to the
article with reference to the new
concrete road in front of my property
in Cedar Creek Hundred and the
award to me by the Commissioner
of S .06 damage.
You state as follows, THE strip of
a few feet will neither mar nor in
jure the property. In fact, it will be
much better than it was before"
This statement could hardly have
been made by any one who knows the
facts of the case. The strip of land
taken was Is feet in width, 1922 feet
long, necessitates the cutting of !
walnut tree and shade trees. The
strip also cuts into the front yard of
my home bringing the road way to
within Is feet of my front porch TAX
ing almost one-half of my front yard
and very greatly damaging the ap-
pearance of the front of my home.
such as you have put in
your paper would cause many to be-
lieve that l was simply unreasonable
in my desire or was attempting to
prevent the construction of the road \
You are aware that reasonable dam
ages and in some instances liberal
damages have been paid to those
who were injured very much less |
han I have been.
l resent statements made by your |
papers which misrepresent my posi- |
ion to the public and will ask you |
q correct them. The Commissioners |
who viewed the road were not ap- |
pointed for the purpose of taking |
private property for public purposes
without compensation. These gen
lemen saw fit to do this presumably
IN the theory that there would be
sufficient advantage to accrue to me
G over come the injury. The injury
o me is real and individual The
benefits are general and to the whole
1 see no reason for
acrificing my property and the orna-
nents to my farm and yard while
Dthers are fully paid for all that
hey give up.
Very sincerely ours,
David w. Shockley.

THE REPRODUCTIVE POWER OF
THE DOLLAR

Many people fail to get ahead be-
cause they lack understanding of the
importance of small savings. They
despise safe and sure interest yields,
the accommodating of money in say
ings account and in good, fair-yield-
ing securities. They should take a
lesson from Wall Street, which
knows the value of safe returns so
well that it values the safe yield OF
mere fractions of 1 per cent, and
builds fortunes on such fractions.
The average dividends Of num-
Der of substantial corporations range
from 6 to 8 per cent. Men, who know
how to use money to make money,
are satisfied with that return, and
usually with less. If the huge re-
turns that so many dream of, and to
their loss try to get, could be had
the heads of large businesses would
not be satisfied with 6 or s per cent,
or less. Rich men and all others,
who know how to use money, seek
the safe returns of around per
cent. They know that it is the only
sure way to get ahead.
At 5 per cent money doubles itself,
when compounded semi-annually at
the same rate, every IA years; at 6
per cent, every u years; at Z per
cent. every 10 years. Savings reg
uIarly invested and reinvested in
good bonds are the surest way to get
rich. At 6 per cent, $1OO a month
invested and the yield reinvested at
the same rate will amount to $46,-
O32.47 in twenty years. That sum
then invested at per cent will yield
an annual income of $2,761.95, or
more than twice the amount OF the
annual investment of $1,000. If
man or woman 25 years old invests
S25 a month in the same manner, ne
will have S35,194.42 when go years
old. Of that sum he will have put IN
S1O,5OO. All the rest, $24,694.4S, will
be interest earned.
To be sure, it requires some years
for such an accumulation, but when
it is remembered that "a Of every
100 men are largely dependent on

WE REPRINT an editorial which
appeared in the Morning News of
Wednesday morning on the school
building program, and the splendid
offer of Mr.. Pierre DUPONT to guar
antee the building, so that the peo-
pie of Delaware shall not be bur-
dened by additional taxation to pay
the bills; but will only ask that he
be reimbursed from the laws which
have been provided to produce the
money. 1t is one more of his mag
nifcent programs to help the chill
dren of Delaware of the future, and
he has faith to back his offer by a
guarantee which none can question.
We hope that the proposition of Mr..
dupont will be accepted and if ac-
cepted, we know that it will be i'm
mediately put into effect. When two
years have passed, the people will
begin to realize the magnitude and
wonderful help he has assured to
the children Of Delaware and for
public school education.

OHIS is addressed to the man who
gives so much of his time to max
4 ing money that he often forgets what
he is making it for. The accumulating of
money may not be providing for the future
of family.
A man has not made proper provision
for his family until he looks beyond his
own life and takes measures for the pro-
lection of those he may leave behind
Otherwise, his property may be distrib-
uted to such persons and in such pro-
portions as would have been entirely con-
trary to his wishes, and under such diff
culties as may cause loss to the estate.
Who will receive the property which
you leave Are you willing to let that
be determined by the law of the State,
and permit the expense and sacrifice often
caused by the infexibiliy of the law
Suppose your wife is inexperienced in
business affairs-.would you be willing to
leave her or burden her with the invest
ment of funds upon which your family's
whole future might depend

Making Money
Making Family Provisions

These are problems which face every
man who considers his responsibilities and
duties.
By making will, you can designate
who shall receive your property. In your
will, you can create a trust for your de-
Pendents, insuring that the property you
leave will be preserved and safeguarded
for their benefit. And you can select an
executor and trustee to carry out your
plans.
The naming in your will of an exec
utor and trustee is second in importance
only to the making of the will itself. The
modern trust company is an organization
with special fitness for this duty. 1t has
continuous existence. 1t has specialized
experience. 1t has the council and direc-
ton of men skilled in business affairs. 1t
has financial responsibility. It is controlled
and safeguarded by strict statutes.
The written expression of your inten-
tions---that is your will. The competent
and sPecialy-equiPPed mechanism for the
carrying out of your instentions---that is a
Trust Company.

Somewhere, 1 don't remem-
Der where just now, l heard a
saying, The boy is father to the
man. 1t seems as though peo-
pie are just waking to the truth
of that statement. Habits formed
in the child never lose their
hold. I am at an age when
am forming habits and, since
they are to be permanent, | am
trying to form as many good
ones as possible.
"My reasons for practicing
this habit may all be packed into
a nutshell by the ninth Scout
law. 1 am a member of the Boy
Scouts of America, and the ninth
of the Twelve Laws says, "A
Scout is thrifty; he never wan
tonly destroys property He
saves his money so that he may
pay his own way l am going
to save my own money in order
to pay my own way through
life.
Sin summer, if you will look
in the parks, or in winter III
hotel Hobbies and waiting rooms,
you will see shabby men sitting
or standing despondently, hands
in pockets. These men never
have saved; some of them will
tell of the time they had good
positions which paid well. They
have nothing to prove their
statements now, because as fast
as their money came in, Il
went; none of it was put away
for a rainy day Now it is rain
ing and they are penniless.
