With the closing of Thrift week"

estimated, the loss of at least a mil
lion dollars q year in this community.
During this past week speakers at
meetings have been reiterating the
admonition against the unwise and
hasty buying of unsound stocks and
bonds, couched in the striking phrase
Before you invest, investigate"
Investigation is possible in every
case. There is no urgent hurry about
buying securities. High pressure
statesmen may seek to persuade their
prospects" that time is golden and
that every hour of delay adds to the
cost and lowers the profits. THE
price today is so-and-so, but tomor
row it will be so-much higher" they
may urge. That is simply part of
the bait.
There is no legitimate investment
security that will not stand investi-
eating. none that will appreciably ad-
vance in price during the time nee
essary for inquiry and careful consid-
Grafton. The stock that is jumping
up from hour to hour in a manner
to tempt the buyer-if it is actually
jumping in fact and not merely in
the speech of the salesman-is not
good investment. 1t is a speculation.
And the investor, who is bent upon
putting his money to work to earn
dividends during a long period of
time, should have nothing to do with
speculative issues.
stop, look and listen! is the warn
ing given to road users upon APP

driver who does not follow it often
comes to grief. Sometimes he gets
across in safety, because it so hap
pens that there is no train at hand
to hit him. Often he gets halfway
over and the coroner's jury renders
a verdict of death by carelessness.
Every investment purchase is a
grade crossing. 1t is tagged and

Investigate. 1t is easy to halt the
machine for short time in order
to find out the situation. There are
always those available who can give
the facts and dependable advice based
upon the facts. Any bank official
will be glad to serve in this capacity
Any business man who is not him
self a speculator-and few business
men can speculate and remain sue
cessful-is in a position to answer
questions reliably.
1t is possible to save that million

less or thoughtless speculations to

Lining Up.

William G. McAdoo is in the East
on a business trip. Business will not
absorb his time and attention com
pletely. He will have opportunity to
do some comforting on other lines and
he is scheduled for a speech at To-
ledo next Thursday which is certain to
take on the semblance Of a political
discourse.
There is no camoufiage about Mr.,
McAdoo's present position. He tells
his friends and political admirers that
he is not a candidate for the Demo.

is determined to fight to the end 10

Whiskers are a matter of taste

are that the Punic War could have
been amicably settled by the two lead
