Little Excursion Into the Realm of Simple Finance
I. to Buy Cheap Money.

MS. If we do not disturb the de-
posts they will keep growing splen-
didly. ,
The ) per cent annual interest on
the $1,000 bond, deposited in a saw
ings bank at 4 per cent compound
ed semi-annually as is the custom
in savings banks, will return the very
pleasing sum of S136S.00 to us upon
the maturity of the bond.
Add this amount to the $1,000 we
receive back for the bond and we
find we are getting S236S.O9 Tor the
$3.50 we now spend.
This would be an actual dollars
profit of S151S.09 on an investment
from which all fear Of loss would be
eliminated.
But this isn't all. A study Of the
history of our money shows that after
a war our commodity prices rise and
our money becomes cheap. In about
20 years the pendulum swings back
to the pre-war level-prices drop and
the purchasing power of the dollar
rises.
Right now commodity prices are
approximately 80 per cent higher than
they were in 1913, or just before the
war. A man with $1,000 then was
twice as wealthy as a man with slOOO
now, because his money would buy
twice as much of the necessities oil
comforts Of life. d,
So. If the economics law holds good
and the pendulum swings back again
the money we would actually receive
at the maturity Of the bond would
have a purchasing value, as compare
with our present dollars, Of S4I36.lS
This, then, would make an actua
profit of S3SS61S, based upon tn
present value of our dollars.
When this is figured upon the per
centage. basis it almost sounds lik
the fairy tales promulgated by super
enthusiastic stock statesmen of ques
| tionable securities, for the reason tina
our complete return is 551 per cen
greater than our original investment
| But it actually figures out this way:
And, just remember, a person Wit
| $1,000 will be twice as wealthy thel
as the person with $1,000 today.

While prices are high and we are
air prosperous, let us look ahead into
the future a little. Let us think about
buying some money to use later on.
A famous broker, when asked for
a rule to accumulate wealth, once
said, Buy when prices are low ana
sell when prices are high" ANY
commodity purchased when it is cheap
and sold when it is dear will bring big
dividends to the dealer.
Money, after all, is nothing OF IT.
self. 1t is just n medium OF ex'
change. When prices of commodities
are high, as they are at the present
time, a dollar is worth less than 1t IS
at a time when commodity prices are
low. Considered from this angle
money is cheap at the present time
il has a low value because of its COM
paratively low purchasing power. III
il is cheap, then it would seem TO be
good sense to buy all we can Of 1t to
use later on when it has gained a
greater value, or purchasing power,
For example, Jet US consider the
purchase Of a good municipal or pub
lie utility bond. Good, safe bonds OF
this kind, with an interest rate OF .
per cent. are now listed on the local
markets at as low as IS. This means
that a $1,000 bond, maturing in ~
years. may be purchased for $3.50:
What do we actually buy with this

First Of all we buy $1,000 gold coin

Of $50.
The bond pays ) per cent, or $50
per year. From this alone we would
receive another profit of $1,000 in the
life Of the bond, if We were TO take
our interest each year and just let II
accumulate. But to just let it pile
M in the old sock would be foolish
because it is a very simple matter to
make that interest do little work on

MARGARET's NOTE.
She went through the drawers,

one Margaret read only four days ago
in the garden. Nora Lee had brought
it. She turned the pages idly. There
was a sheet of paper; lines written in
pencil:
MY Darling Girl-You must not
bow. That will only grieve me-only
make complete the sorrow OF my life.
Go on as l would have you go, Dear

The three words of the unfinished

College terms are opening, and
with them the usuaual flood of COM
ment and advice.
The commonest delusion of the
commentators is that the actual
knowledge gained in college is a
relatively minor part of its benefit.
One goes for the ''life" or the
training" but the "book knowl-
edge" is soon forgotten, and is not
very important for the practical pur-
poses of life, anyway.
This may have had its justifica-
ton, once when men went to a col
lege of Greek, Latin, and mathe-
matics and then graduated into a
world of farms, groceries and poll.

Not that there was any sense

And if latin was worth learning
it was worth remembering.

Not so now.
Education now is either directl,
vocational, to learn things that ar

Uniform Marriage

hasty marriages and Opponents.
You have to wait FIVE days be-

In this age of motor cars such
a law can accomplish little. It's
too short ride to the state line.
Nebraska recently tried such a

The only solution seems to be

EDIT RIAL S

Der the technical foundations OF his
trade, the lawyer should remember
some law. and the commercial grad
uate has been taught facts that he
will use in business.
But it is equally true of the "cul-
tural'' work. Why study history
unless, 40 years after graduation,
you are going to remember the his
tory you know now, plus a lot more
that you have learned meantime?
Why study French unless all your
life you are going to read French?
Why study economics, uness eco
nomic science is to be your contlnu-
Gus interpreter of the happenings
around you. And so on, through the
list.
You go to college primarily to'
knowledge, and that means learning
things to carry with you, not merely
through the examinations, ou'
through life.

Juvenile

A New Jersey city reports.
through the Playground and
Recreation association Of Amer
lea, that 500 boys were or
ganiZed into a municipal base
ball league and given playing
fields.
The cost of repairing broken
windows, which had been $ 81
the year before, dropped to
$3.50.
This would seem to indicate
that, if boys can be given some
thing interesting to do - a
chance to play, to work off their
surplus energy-there is less de-
linquency.
And, since we adults are the
ones who can give them these
things, it also would seem that
when we have a high juvenile
delinquency rate it is pretty
much our own fault.

Paul Prudent

There are Frenchmen who
say that the middle name of
their prime minister-Paul Pru-
dent Painleve-will have to be
changed to "lmprudent." He
has taken more risks than any
premier within recent memory.
Not long ago. desiring to get
hrst-hand knowledge of the seri-
Gus military situation in Moroc-
CO, Painleve flew the long and
somewhat dangerous distance.
And at once upon his return,
having to review the French
naval fleet, he was not satisfied
until he went aboard a subma-
rine and had the officers sub
merge it and go for cruise UNI
derneath the waters.
