EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T.. HUGHES.
LESSONS IN ST. PAUL RECEIVER
SHIP.

A few weeks ago the Chicago, Mill
waukee and st. Paul Railroad went
into the hands of a receiver, and it's
stock and Junior bonds broke to new
levels in the markets. Losses sus-
tanned by investors who, had bought
either stock or bonds in years gone
by were ENORMOUS. They had had
ample warning in the sagging Of the
quotation for their securities, but
many had failed to heed it, hoping
against hope that some way would be
found to rescue this great system
from bankruptcy. The disaster did
of the first mortgage underlying
bonds, nor to the holders Of equip
ment obligations. For, only a day
or two after the receivership, the
court directed the receivers to pay
interest on the first mortgage bonds
and on the equipment trust notes.
Here is a practical example of the
wisdom of paying attention to the
ranking in mortgage lien upon a
property of the bonds you are con-
sidering buying. 1t is also striking
testimony to the great investment
merit of the equipment trust GER
tifcates which again come unscathed
through the fires of receivership.
A railroad must have ears to carry
freight and locomotive to pull the
cars, regardless of whether the cor
peFation or d receiver operates the
property, and so interest on an equip
ment trust is the first thing to be
paia.
In times like these there is COM
pensation for the small yield which
the first-mortgage security always
gives in comparison with the more
speculative junior bonds and stocks.

Growing Communities.

The rapid growth which many
progressive cities and towns have
enjoyed has been one of the maryels
If American life.
People who are ambitious to have
their own communities get ahead in
the procession often ask how it is
that these advancing places obtain
such quick gains.
Investigation would commonly re-
veal that such progress is not al
ways the result of favorable loca-
tons. The citizens of such places
have not sat down and waited for
opportunities to come to them.
They have done some hustling on
their own account.
The reputation that any commun-
ity has for being a live place has a
lot to do with its advancement.
Nothing breeds success like success,
applies to communities equally as
well as to individuals.
People like to buy real estate or
engage in business in places that
appear to be alert and growing as
they feel that their investments will
increase in value They enjoy the
feeling of life and activity that is
apparent
Chambers of Commerce, boards of
trade and boosters clubs have much
to do with the development of COM
munlties Results that such organi-
cations obtain are broader than the
surface indications disclose.
1t is commonly true that when men
band themselves together in asso-
Citations of this nature, they usually
achieve some of the definite results
they aim for, in the shape of public
improvements, and new industries,
in addition to better community
spirit
But even if an organization of
this type does 90 along for a time
without much tangible achievement
the mere fact that the business men
are working unitedly for new facili-
ties and advantages, creates an at.
mosphere of progress.
The activities of such an organi-
cation are reported in the news
papers and discussed by travellers
and residents. The idea spreads
that such community is an active
place where the people are husting
to get things done.-Ex.

Give The Auto Its Due.

John II Mueller, professor Of So
siology at Chicago university, has
laid down a severe indictment of
the automobile 1t takes the high
school and college student from
the home group and makes him an
enemy of society, the professor
says
Perhaps the auto is a disturbing
element in society, but never forget
that it takes two to make a bargain.
The auto is a temptation leading to
evil ways that some young people
can't resist, and it becomes the duty
of those who are guiding boys and
girls to build up a resistance against
it.
Complaining about the bad influ-
ence of the automobile does not re-
move it as factor to be dealt with
in the rearing of children 1t is a
real problem, the more SO because it
can't be automatically removed
The automobile IS here to stay
It can't be driven out as the open
saloon was, because it has economic
and social values that far outweigh
the evils that are laid at its door
Regardless of what may be said
regarding the bad habits it is teach
ing people, young and old alike, the
automobile has had a beneficent in
fluence on many homes.
The family car, though it may
have flattened the family purse, has
broadened the viewpoint and in
creased the knowledge Of countless
persons. 1t has enabled people Of
small means to get liberal educa-
ton through travel II has taken
people into the fresh air, where they
have found their first contact with
outdoor things. It has changed the
courses of many lives by cultlvating
outdoor habits and an appreciation
of nature and all its beauties.
The automobile ISN'T perfect, Of
course, since it is only the product
Of mans genius, but it is not wholly
disreputable, though it may be &C
curing a bad reputation for leading
young people into paths they should
not f0llow.-Ex

Display OF The Flag.

There are hard and fixed rules for
the display of the flag that should
be observed, but to which few peo-
pie pay little heed, as is repeatedly
manifested as national holidays
come and go.
Many people, with the best of in
tentions. use the flag for decorative
purposes, and otherwise display it
improperly, when a few simple rules
for ordinary use of the flag might
be remembered.
Protests from patriotic societies
a few years ago brought to light the
fact that the war department has
published a bulletin giving a few
rules on the subject, not based upon
law, but upon fundamental rules of
heraldry and good taste
The union of the flag is the honor
point; the right arm is the sword
arm. and therefore the place of
honor. The staff edge of the flag is
the heraldic dexter on right edge.
When the national flag is carried, as
in procession, with another flag or
flags, the place of the national flag
is on the right, l. e., the flags own
right.
When the national flag and an
other flag are displayed together, as
against a wall from crossed stats,
the national flag should be on the
right, the flags own right, i. e., the
observers left, and its staff should
be in front Of the staff Of the other
flag. When number of flags are
grouped and displayed from staffs
the national flag should be in the
center or at the highest point Of the
group.
When the national flag is hung
either horizontally or vertically
against a wall the union should be
uppermost and to the flags own
right, e., to the observers left.
When displayed from a staff pro-
jecting horizontally or at an angle
from a window sill or the front of a
building, the same rules should be
observed; the union should 90 clear
to the truck, as the peak Of the
staff is called. unless the flag be al
half staff
When the flag is suspended be.
tween buildings 50 as to hang over
the middle Of the street, a simple
rule is to hang the union to the
north in an east and west street OF
streets-Ex
