Final Plans for
Memorial Day

At the regular meeting OF the
Forest J. Pare Post Veterans of For

preparations were made for Memoir

ance at the meeting and six new
members were initiated. For Memoir
ial Day committee Comrade Sterling
reported that plans had been COM
pleted for the decoration of grave
of Forest J. Pare. He also reported
that arrangements had been made to
serve the boys a supper at G. A. r.
Hall, Immediately after the services
at the Opera House.
The committee on flags reported
that N. H Barrows of this city had
donated the Pos colors. A rising
vote of thanks was given to Mr.
Barrows and it was voted to send
him a letter of appreciation.
All members present signified
their intentions of turning out both
in the morning and in the afternoon
good showing being assured.
1t has been noted that in the past
although it is not done for any dis
respect, that the proper recogniz-
ance has not been given the colors

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago, MAY 29.-(AI

Chicago, May 29.-(AP).
May wheat contracts that on q wild
market just four months ago COM
manded $2.05s q bushel expired today
in a humdrum fashion. Plenty of
wheat was on hand here to settle all
outstanding accounts. and just before
the day was ended the price of May
delivery dropped to s1.65. This was
an overnight loss of 81 cents and
setback of 40s cents bushel as COM
pared with the seasons high price rec
ord made when talk was rife on world
scarcity of breadstuffs possibilities.
Wheat closed to Acc lower. May,
1.65i to 166 and July 1854 to 1854,
with corn unchanged to 1sc higher.
oats at &c off to &c up, and provisions
varying from the same as yesterdays
finish to 35c advance.
Before trading today began In the
wheat market the fact was known that
dcliN cries here on May con-
tracts had reached liberal total and
that any chance of spectacular up
turn in the near future was virtually
gu. of the question. Under such cir
cumstances holders of May contracts
who were unwilling to take delivery of
wheat as a settlement of accounts
found themselves at disadvantage
and obliged to sell in the face of a con-
stantly dwindling demand.
An additional source of weakness in
the wheat market was that with two
holidays ahead the owners of other de-
liveries than May were also selling out,
either to realize profits or to avoid risk
from adverse developments which
might arise by Monday. Absence of
export demand for wheat acted as a
further depressing influence and so,
too, did better weather and liberal re-
ceipts. Slosing out of spread trades
between corn and wheat tended to
strengthen corn prices but to weaken
wheat insufficient moisture for corn
received some notice. Oats were stead
led by the action of corn.
Provisions traders took their cue
from the corn market rather than from
hog values.

will say:
In spite of widespread and severe
frost which is quite exceptional after
the middle of May, business sentiment
shows further improvement this week
and evidence of some additional acc
tivity continue to appear. Operations
in several of the primary markets
show additional interest on the part OF
consumers, and this has resulted In
some new business. There Is more In
quiry for pig iron, although the mar
ket for this important product Is far
from satisfactory as to prices. Little
indication as to accumulation, how
ever, is apparent. A substantial busi-
ness is noted in some of the heavy
lines of steel. The improved condition
Of packer hides is reflected in the
fractional advance in quotations this
week but trading is only moderately
active. Shoe business is exceptionally
dull and this is reflected in the leather
market. The tone of the primary tex
tile markets is rather better, but fur
Their curtailment Of production in the
cotton industry Is being urged and Is
quite generally prevalent in woslens.
The silk industry continues very &C.
tive and knit goods operators are wen
employed.

BIG RETURNs-It is easy to prom
Use an abnormally high rate of divi'
dends, or large market profits, to
prospective investors. Heavy risks
usually accompany such lures.
They are too often the chief talking
points Of financial charlatans.
PROMINENT NAMES - Promoters
know that the names and endorse
ments of successful men carry
weight. They are often used with
out authorization. The prudent in
weston will look beyond names and
will investigate.
THE "GRoUND FLooR"-An OPP
portunity to "get in on the ground
floor" often turns out to be the
same sort of opportunity which the
proverbial spider extended to the
fly.
INSIDE INFORMATION -" Inside
tips" are usually expensive pieces
of misinformation. When used as
Confidential information" to influ-
ence the small investor they are
generally of spurious character.
THE FICTITIOUS ADVANCE - Pro-
fessional promoters often arbitra-
rily advance the prices Of the shares
they sell as their campaigns gain
Roadway to create buying excite
ment and induce new buyers to get
in before the next rise. Such price
advances are artificial, usually en-
ployed merely to speed up" the
unloading of shares.
THE TELEPHONE CANvAss-Irre-
sponsible vendors find it easy to
work over the telephone to victim
ize incautious investors. The eau
tious investor will not enter into
securities transactions by telephone
unless he personally knows with
whom he is dealing.
THE UNsELFIsH PRoMoTER-The
promoter who "gives his services"
in organizing a company or as an
officer of it and advertises that he
does so, will bear watching.
The IRRESPONSIBLE GUARANTEE
irresponsible sellers of securities
often guarantee" certain profits,
or even that they will buy back
shares when the purchaser wants
his money. Promises of this ma
ture are made to create confidence
and to lull suspicion. They should
indicate to the prospective purchas-
er special need to investigate.
REORGANIZATION" AND MERGER
Unsuccessful companies forced into
Reorganization" often call upon
stockholders for new funds. Re-
Spouse to such appeals often means
merely throwing, good money after
bad. A conspicuously fraudulent
device has been the merger" by
which new company trading upon
fresh prospects and promises,
takes over the assets Of an unsuc-
cessful venture and issues new
stock for old, provided the share
holder pays Is per cent or so in
cash.
THE PARTIAL-PAYMENr PLAN
This helpful method of selling
securities has been much abused.
People who prefer to buy securities
out of their weekly or monthly
earnings, are sometimes victimized
by vendors Of stocks which have

little or no value. All honest
securities dealers unite in warning
the investor to buy on the partial
payment plan only after making
sure of the financial responsibility
and standing of the firm with
which he does business.
The APPEAL TO PREJUDICE-A
chief stock in trade of the unreli-
able promoter is misinformation
which plays upon the prejudices
and emotions of prospects. This
style of promoter points out sup
posed "evils" and Especial privi-
leges" existing in the world Of
"high finance" He may urge that
his venture is a poor mans PROPOSE
ton, free from the '1arge UNDER
writing profits which the big fell
lows get" Usually such sellers en-
deavor to throw suspicion on others
to divert it from themselves.
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY-"Real
estate-the safest security on
earth," is the type Of slogan under
which at times INSCRIPTIONS oper-
ators endeavor to unload property
on persons who want to make an in
vestment, but not a poor specula-
ton. Experienced opinion, sup
ported by impartially-gathered
facts, forms the only basis upon
which to buy real estate, especially
when you cannot see it before you
buy.
MINING FALLACIEs-Many min
ing ventures are honest but fail
because The promoters are unable
to finance the proposition through
to successful conclusion. Many
other mining promotions are not
good prospects although they may
be represented as such. If small
investor wishes to buy mining
stocks he can do SO by purchasing
securities of established mining
companies with records Of substan-
tial earnings and of dividends
regularly paid to stockholders.
Oil RIsKs-To almost every one
come opportunities to speculate in
oil schemes. Very often such offer
ings are misrepresented. Usually
they are sheer speculations, all the
risks being taken with the stock
holders money, while the promoters
pay themselves handsomely through
stock sales, commissions, salaries
or Organization expenses" The
investor who. desires to buy mining
or oil securities should get facts
and experienced opinion as to is
sues of established, successful oil
companies. Even the legitimate
mining or oil business is specula-
tive and depends for profits upon
sound combination of properties,
organization, finances and manage
ment.
INVENTION DELUsroNs-The gen.
eral public too often believes that
large profits are to be gained
Though patented processes or de-
vices. Inventions are a fascinating
means for separating inexperienced
investors from their savings. Even
when practical from marketing
and manufacturing standpoint, pa
tents are usually only moderately
valuable. The small investor can
not afford to take an Invention
Chance" with his funds.
