Farmer Had Strong
Faith in Black Art

Frederick Rick, a farmer, has been
telling the magistrates at Marggra-
bowa, In East Prussia, the extraor-
binary things he had to do at the
command of q witch who undertook
to bring him prosperity.
he had to write in honey on q thin
cake Of bread the magic words,
"AdOnis dear, Adonis my ownI Thou
canst do all. Thou art friendly and
thy goodness Is eternal Help me this
once Thou art the Lord!"
Then he had to wash his hands and
face In water on which the morning
sun had not shone, to say prayer to
AdOnis seven times and tie q cake OF
bread round his neck.
At the some time he had to lend
the witch carriage, he had to get
che heart of a white toad and tie 1t
with three feathers under the seat Of
q bicycle he had bought for the
wizard who assisted the witch. He
provided 80 yards Of English cloth
to darken the room in which the witch
called up spirits, and 1900 marks of
good money went from his pockets to
hers.

toners make tt rule always TO bring
hfgh-pressure statesmen to the bank to
be interrogated regarding their pro
motions. This win break up sales
nine times out of ten, for high-pres-
sure statesmen invariably avoid being
questioned too closely by bankers
who know investments.
Rules to Follow
Our bankers should urge this in
vestment slogan: Investigate before
YOU invest. Consult your banker first"
and so indelibly impress it on the
minds OF their depositors that they
will always be guided by their bank
er's advice in making Investments.
Salient points which should be Kept
before the investing depositor are:
f1) There are three cardinal points
to aIl good investments, namely safety
Of principal, certainty of income and
Suitability.
90 Safety of principal is more i'm.
portant than high yield; the promise
Of big returns is usually a sign OF a
risky speculation.
(3) It is like taking leap in the
dark to invest in promotions which
are an unknown quantity and for this
reason thorough investigation
should always be made.
"a It is morally wrong, if not
crimIpally so, for any person to invest
in any proposition he feels is skin
game, or which is tainted by trickery
or fraud or opens the way for a fav-
ored few to "get in on the ground
fooy,' CLEAN up and get out from under
before the scheme collapses. Usually
the depositor finds he Is pot in on
the ground floor, there is no chance
for him to clean up before the scheme
colIapses and so he loses all that he
has invested.
(5) If q promotion is as good as
claimed, it would not be necessary for
high-pressure statesmen to resort to all
sorts Of questionable methods, 1t
would not be necessary to rush a vic
tim off his feet and sign him up before
he could interview his banker, but he
could be given time to consult others
before Investing.

1t as a woman loves the place
where she finds happiness and
contentment and peace. And
Peggy had found all three OF
them here. in this cheerful little
place.
On Sunday morning, few
days later, Babs' telegram came.
You open it and read It,"
Peggy called to Ranny when he
brought it upstairs. She was
bathing the baby herself, at the
for even a half minute.
For Peggy the Second was no
frail baby. such as little Junior
had been. She was fat and
sturdy, and she rolled herself
around on the bath-table in a
reckless way that filled Peggy
with fear that some day she
would roll right Off and onto the
floor

Delano," Ranny called through
closed door of the bathroom.

Peggy frowned at the idea of
meeting Babs Delano. Sunday was
biza's day off and Mother Phelps
, always invited them to her house.
Besides Peggy had nothing but
canned things to eat.
II must say that your old pal
has nerve" Ranny added after a
pause. why does she have to be
met at the station as IL she were
the Dowager Empress of Pata.

can't she jump in cab and come
out here, by herself, huh? sup

curly head, wrapped her in a pink
blanket and went out into the
hall.

Where are you going to put her

That was a problem. Peggy
didn't know just where she could
put Babs and her bags when
she did come. There was no ex'
ira bedroom now that Peggy the
Second had arrived. Even the
little housemaid, Liza, had to go
home at night.

Peggy said finally. land Babs

But Ranny interrupted her.

I?-No, I'll go over to mothers
while your old maid friends here.
Maybe she'll take the hint and

And SO it was settled.
But Peggy wasn't happy about
It.
It wasn't that she didn't want
Babs to come there. She did
want her, and she was Hospitality
