EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
More About Investment Buying.

NAULC [AUOuV DNJ Ah6S
There is one other sense in which
the term Investment buying" is
used deceptively. In a preceding ar
ficle it was pointed out that because
of the essential difference between
stocks and bonds the phrase did not
have quite the same significance when
used with regard to the acquisition of
shares representing partnership as 1t
did when applied to evidences of in
debtedness.
When the stock market or the bond
market, either, for that matter, is I'M
usually active and strong, the finan-
cial writer's explain that investment
buying" was responsible. Now they
do not necessarily mean that the mar
ket advanced because real investors
took funds out of their banks and
used them to buy securities which
they expect to hold indefinitely for
the income. That is only a part of
what is going on at these times. A
more important factor in the market
is the purchases by security dealers
and even spectators who are antici-
pating demand from real investors
and who hope to dispose of their
newly acquired holdings later on at a
profit. Sometimes they are right and
sometimes they are wrong.
The point is that stocks or bonds
bought on this basis do not always
stay bought. Some reversal of condi-
tions, an upward turn in money rates,
an excessive supply of new securities,
a sharp drop in commodities or some
unfavorable development in trade
causes these speculative buyers of in
vestment securities hastily to change
their position. They offer their
securities for sale and the market re-
acts. On the other hand, real invest
ment buying is the taking out of the
market and putting away in strong
boxes of securities, and this is never
done in hurry. The effect of it on
the market Is important and cumula-
tive, but rarely spectacular.

BALTIMORE, April 9.-Application
by the Pittsburgh & West Virginia
Railroad to build SO miles of track
connecting Cochrans Mills and Con.
nellsville, Pa. in the heart of the
steel district is interpreted here as
another connecting link in the plan
of the Baltimore & Ohio to establish a
new trunk line between tidewater and
the Middle West.
The Baltimore e Ohio, is believed
backing the smaller road in the ap-
plication to the Interstate Commerce
Commission as a move in its rivalry
with the New York Central against
the Pennsylvania and Loree interests.
The Baltimore & Ohio has terminals
in both Cochrans Mills and Connells-
vile, but no rail connections between
those points.
The new tracks, if laid, would con-
meet the Western Maryland Railway.

ADVERTISING COMES INTO
ITS OWN.

"Public utility companies will
spend $28,OO0,O0O for advertising this
year," Here, in this news item, is
food for thought. 1t makes one won
der if there are still reactionaries
who insist that advertising is useless
and waste of investors money.
Statistics on the strides that adj
vertising expenditure and space have
taken, would be tremendous inter-
est to the student of modern industry
and business. In the past twenty
years it has unquestionably doubled
itself many times. Although the var
ious medioums, and most import
ant of all, the newspapers, advertis-
ing and publicity have grown to pro-
portions where they are among the
greatest forces known for further
ing progress and forwardness. The
recent unprecedented growth of the
public utilities are directly traceable,
in large degree, to the effect of
wide and intelligent advertising. Far
from being a waste of investors
money it is a safeguard in that if
the company or product advertised
is honest and worthwhile, that COM
pany's business or sales will increase
in direct proportion to the amount of
advertising.
Progressive business is learning
that the only thing better for bust
ness than extensive advertising, is
more extensive advertising plus a
good product or service.

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION
CLASSES BEGIN SEPT. &c

Night school classes of the Uni
versity began again September 26th
These classes in business, engineer
ing and collegiate subjects, open te
any adult, under certain conditions
are held down town in St. Paul, il
the public library, the court house
and other convenient places as vel
as on the University campus. Class
es may also be arranged at Other
Minnesota centers.
The instruction is the same as ii
many cases under the same instruc.
tors. The courses carry credit toward
a degree or an Extension Division
certificate, or may be taken without
credit. Direct inquiry may be made
to the St. Paul office of the Univers-
ity at 200 Pioneer Bldg, telephone
Cedar 1912.
There are two semesters of seven
teen weeks each. Most classes are
held once a week for two period
session. Time of classes 6:00-8:00;
8:05-9:45. Thus it is possible to get
two subjects the same evening. There
are also classes mostly in education
subjects at 5:00-5:40. While advance
registration is advisable in most
cases, it is not obligatory. The first
two classes may be attended without
mourning penalty for late registra-
ton.
Extension students may purchase
football tickets on the same terms as
day students. Seats are reserved in
advance for all the games in a good
part of the student section of the
Stadium. This season ticket also
admits to hockey, basketball, base
ball, track meets and athletic events
during the whole school year. Over
one thousand persons registered for
the first semester last year through
the St. Paul office, besides those who
went direct to the campus for regis
tration and classes.

442, 286 People Visit
Minnesota State Fair

With the best attendance since
1920, the 68th annual Minnesota
State Fair proved to be one of the
most successful in history. A total
of 442,286 admissions were recorded
at the outside gates to the 1927 ex-
position.
The attendance is phenomenal con-
ssidering the peculiar weather of the
week. Rain fell on three days-Mon-
day, Tuesday and Wednesday-and
the skies were overcast with threat
ening clouds on Thursday and Fri
day. Despite the inclement weather
the attendance was greater on the
opening Saturday, Sunday, Thursday
Friday, and the closing Saturday
than on the corresponding days a
year ago.
OF course, the receipts were con-
zsiderably diminished this year by the
loss of the grandstand show Labor
Day night and the two performances
scheduled for Tuesday. The loss of
the Labor Day night show was es-
pecially painful to the management
for the entire grandstand had been
sold out and nearly $4,000 was re-
funded by the treasurer's depart
ment.
Although the management had an
extremely heavy budget this year,
enough money was taken in to pay
all expenses. 1t will be some time be-
fore the exact figures are available,
but officials are confident that when
the books are balanced for the year
"a small profit will be show.
w. F. Sanger, of Window, presi-
dent of the State Fair, is highly
pleased with the results of the 1927
Fair. He says:
81 am confident that all expenses
incurred this year can be paid out of
our 1927 receipts, and that small
profit will be realized. l feel that
tShe Fair was a distinct success. The
educational and entertainment pro-
grams were the best ever. Sousa's

20 concerts, in itself was the great
sest entertainment feature ever book
ed by the Fair. The Northwest Air
craft Show, with Is different types
