FIGURING THE INCOME FROM
A BOND

While the method of figuring the
precise yield of bond is very COM
plicated, there is a very simple
method at the hand of every inves-
tor which will be found sufficiently
accurate for most purposes.
To determine the approximate
yield of any bond, bearing any rate
of interest, maturing at any time
and purchased at any price three
things must be considered: First, the
coupon rate of the bond; second, the
length of time the bond has to run
from date of purchase until matur-
ity; and, third, the purchase price
of the bond.
Suppose an investor buys at 95 q
5 per cent bond, redeemable at par
in ten years. In such q case, he re-
ceived $50 interest each year on
$1,000 bond. In addition to this
amount, however, he receives at ma
tur1ty $1,000, whereas he paid only
$3.50 for the bond. This difference
between par and purchase price
means a profit of $50 in ten years,
which, prorated, means return of
50 year in addition to the $50 per
amman received as interest. In
reality then, the investor has receiv-
ed the equivalent of $55 per amum
on an investment of $3.50. By divid-
ing 55 by $50 we obtain the percen-
tage of the purchase price per an
mum which the investor has receiv-
ed, or about SIS per cent, which is
the approximate yield.
In the case of a bond purchased at
premium the yield may be found
by the same principles. Suppose an
investor buys at 105 a 6 per cent
bond, maturing in ten years. The in
terest return is $50 per annum. But
as the investor will receive only
$1,000 at maturity and has paid ST.
$50 for the bond, he has lost $50 in
ten years, or SIS a year. After sub
tracing this SIS from $50 received
as interest his actual return per
annum is $55. AS he paid $3.50, to
figure the percentage of the pur-
chase price he received per annum
he divides SIS by 1850. This figures
out approximately 5.23 per cent,
which is the yield.
Tables of bond values have been
worked out showing the net return
rom bonds of various interest rates
purchased at various prices. These
.ables take into consideration a COM

TWO COLLEGE GIRLS
ADOPT RAT KILLING
AS PROFESSION

Rat killing as a profession has
been adopted by two college girls
Miss Helen Caldwell, of Huntington,
West Virginia and Miss Evelyn Wag-
ar, of the University of Minnesota.
The strange vocation for women
has proven so profitable that they
intend to remain in the business,
both girls declare.
"As we travel in our own car"
said Miss Caldwell, in an interview
with the American Magazine, 1--WE
have lots of play and sightseeing
mixed with our work. We have al
ready toured thirty-nine of the Uni
ted States, two provinces in Canada,
Hawaii, Alaska and many of the
Mexican border cities.
1--WE got our original idea during
a drive in Virginia against rats. We
learned from the United States Blu
reau of Public Health the use of
barium carbonate, the most effective
rat poison that has yet been de-
velOped, and found we could work
so successfully with it that we had
many calls from distant places af-
ter our work in Virginia.
"The government estimates that
the rat population of the United
States is twice the human pOpula-
ton and that it costs $1.82 annually
to feed each rat. It is also known
that a single pair of rats living in
good circumstances can be respon-
sible for the arrival of $4,000 rod
ents in three years, so there is plen-
ty. of work left for u.s."
The girls usually work under the
direction of chambers of commerce
or other civic bodies, but take large
individual contracts from factory or
owners, as we'll.

about it. For the past few days you have

"a car that brings you more beauty,

and stamina than you ever thought pos
sible in a low-price car.
Automobile history will be made to-
morrow, for the new Ford is not only new

new in mechanical design. Many features
of it are exclusive Ford developments.
Some are wholly new in automobile prac-
tice. It's low price is reflection of manu-

Nineteen years Of experience in build

the new Ford car and have counted in
its making. Resources unmatched in the
motor car industry are its heritage and its
birthright.
The Ford policy of owning the source
of raw materials, of making virtually
every part, of doing business at small
profit per car, has cut many dollars off
the price you would ordinarily have to
pay for car like this.

Maddux denied theft of the chicks
ems and told authorities that he had
purchased them from a negro He
did not know the man who sold
them and would be unable to iden-
tify him, the grocer told the judge
MadduX was released on bonds oi
5000, bond in each case being set
at $500, He had been warned be-
fore to keep a check on persons who
sold him chickens by police ana
under the law is required to be able
to produce or identify the sellers
according to Judge Jack
A number of chicken thefts have
been reported from that vicinity dur
ing tho past six months, probably
5000 or 400 fowls having been taken,
the judge stated.
