EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
Practical Saving Suggestions
By GEORGE T. HUGHES.

All the sermons about thrift are
preached to the young. It is the
young man or the young woman who
is told all about the benefits of saving.
Probably if the congregation took the
preaching to heart vast sums now
squandered would be saved to the best
interest OF all concerned. To illus
trate the point computations are given
showing how easy it is to amass q
competency if only one begins soon
enough.
Now this is all good as far as it
goes, but the trouble is that most
men do not begin seriously to con.
slider the subject until they are well
along in years. Moreover. the sum
that young man thinks he can set
aside for investment appears to him
so small that it is hardly worth while
On the other hand, the older man is
apt to feel that in the nature of
things his time is too short to accom-
plish much, particularly if his income
is not much above his immediate
needs. 1t may throw light on the
problem, however, for both these
a look at the figures.
Suppose it to be practical to invest
money securely at per cent, and this
is not going beyond the bounds of
conservatism even in these days of
high prices for securities. If money
is invested at per cent and COM
pounded semi-annually it will double
itself in IA years and IS days. That is
to say, If one takes $1,000 on July /,
1927, and buys 5 per cent bond and
twice a year reinvests the $25 interest
coupon also in something to return 5
per cent he will have $4,000 on July
IA, 1941. Multiply the sum by ten
and use it the same way. Then $10,-
900 will have become $4,000 in the
same interval.
Now assume that per cent can be
obtained, and that is not without the
range Of possibility. Then the sum
invested, with interest compounded
semi-annually, will double itself in IL
years and 264 days. If it We're fea-
sible to get per cent the time for
the principal to multiply itself by two
would be reduced to ten years and
81 days.

COTTON IS STEADY
AFTER EARLY DROP
Quotations Retrace Loss Caused

Movement.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 14.-The cotton
market opened barely steady today at
a decline of to 13 points, active
months showing net losses of about s
to II points in early trading under a
renewal of yesterdays selling move
ment, promoted by reports of further
rains in the Southwest.
October sold off to 1851 and Janu-
airy to 1879, but there seemed to be
better demand around the 161a cent
level for october and the market
steadied up several points on trade
buying and covering. AT the end of the
first hour, October was selling around
1868 and January 1890, or about net
unchanged to 5 points higher.
Private cables said there had been
London and continental liquidation in
Liverpool, but reported fair business
in fine cotton goods with the CONT
nent.
The forenoon market was steadier.
October contracts sold up to 1916 and
January to 1902, or about 10 to Is
points above yesterdays closing quo
tations, and there may have been a
little buying on the report of the Cen
sua Bureau showing domestic con-
sumption of 633, 024 bales for May,
against 516,376 for the same month
last year. The bulk of the demand,
however, was attributed to covering,
while the volume of business tapered
off very decidedly at the advance.
Prices were within point or two OF
the best at midday.

FEARS CORN BoRER
State EntomoIogist Says
Whole State Threatened.

European corn-borer will sweep

growing sections of the country,
State Entomologist Frank Wallace
declared in anncaScing nine addi-
tional Indiana townships infested.
Wallace will appeal to the next
Congress to make no further ap-
propriations for an educational
campaign. The money is spent to
tell the farmer that co1n-borer can
be destroyed absolutely and this is
untrue and unfair In Wallace's
opinion.
TN Indiana we have never told
the farmer that the corn-borer can
be stamped out entirely" the State
Entomologist continued. "The best
we can hope for is to check its
ravages and this can be done with
proper cooperation"
Townships added to the borer list
today are York, Middlebury, Harri-
son and washington in Elkhars
