Investigate First

n INCE the collapse of the stock market and the de-
= mand for stocks tremendously decreased, bond
statesmen have been forced to get out after bust
ness These saesmen in order to stimulate their bust
ness will tell the prospective buyer that is the
time to buy Although being partly true, and there
bonds the market that would make a good in
vestment, many not good. How much does the
average person know about the value of bonds 1t is
quite impossible to rely entirely upon the statement
of the salesman. He is sell his bonds and get
the money. 1t is well to turn a deaf to them or
if the prospective buyer has the time, listen in and
then investigate Your local bankers usually have the
information all reliable bonds, if they do not have
it, they in position to get it for you.
Recently there has been unoaded in Redwood
Falls, many bonds that may result in heavy loss for
the purchaser because the purchasers did not nvest
gate before buying They listened only the song of
the salesman. Other investigated and still
in possession of their money.
More than since the crash of the market,
there will be statesmen fitting about with different
getrck propositions. The safe way is to investigate
first.

However, regardless of the day designated as
New Years at various times and in various countries,
1t has been generally observed holiday.
The Romans celebrated it with professions,
abandonment of litigation and strife, exchanging of
visits and of gifts feastng and merry making. Early
fathers of the Christian church did not approve of
these festivities, but recommended that the day be de-
voted to meditation scripture reading and works of
charity.
But about the fourth century, when December 25
had been agreed upon for the observance of Chrsts
nativity, New Years Day. falling one week later be-
gan to assume sacred character the anniversary
of the circumson and such it still figures in the
calendars of certain branches of the church.
Other religious faiths such as the Mohammedan
and Jewish, have their calendars with distinctive
holidays and festivals, in which their New Years Day
has corresponding significance to that of. Chpisten
