STRAIGHT TALKS WITH AUNT EMMY ON “GOLD BONDS* r “Before I go to the bank to ask advfee about Investing the money mother left me. I wish you would tell ma something more about bonds," said Helen to Aunt Emmy. "Am I right in thinking that gold bonds are absolutely safe? Are gold bonds what people mean by gift edge eecurfties?" “What a chfM It ta!" hmghod Aunt Emmy. "I can see that you do need to learn something about bonds. The term "gold bond* does not have anything to do with the term •gilt edged seeurfty.’ The latter ts nothing more than a commonly used phrase that means a safe security. Companies that issne gold bonds usually agree to redeem them In United States gold coin of the weight and fineness of the gold coin Issued by the United States Treasury at the time the bonds are put on the market This Is done In order to protect the bondholders from the very remote possibility of a radical change in the value of United States currency, such as. for example, the changes in the values of German and other European currencies as a result of the war. While such a thing h unlikely to occur In this country, financiers always try to guard against every possible trouble. Although a bond may be payable in gold it is unnecessary to demand payment In actual gold coin since our American money Is on a- gold basis anyhow and our good old paper dollars have exactly i the same value as golden dollars. "But you want to bear In mind one thing. Because you buy a eo-ealled •gold bond.’ that does not mean that the bond is secured by gold in any way, or that It Is stronger than any other bond. The strength of a bond lies simply and only In the ability ! of the company that Issues It to pay Its debts. And of course you should consider the value of the property pledged or mortgaged to secure the bond. If any property is given as security." "Dear me, Annt Emmy,“ exclaimed Helen. "I never realized bow much one needs to know before investing one’s money. In my case it’s awfully Important not to have a loss, because although I have only a tiny amount of money it is all I have tn the world. How can I ever learn to tell what is good from what is bad?" “I am not sure you ever can rely on ' your own judgment, my dear." smiled Aunt Emmy, "but if you will be guided by your bank, you needn’t worry.’’— A.

ON GUARD AGAINST FARM CROOKS With every constructive movement for the improvement of agriculture, one fe likely to find men who win attempt to capitalize ft for their own I personal benefit. This may take the form of shipping tn poor and unprofitable livestock to palm of? on unsuspecting farmers, or it may sometimes be i selling fair to good livestock at exorbitant prices under promise of taking back some of the offspring at high i figures. There are several Instances where the college of agriculture through its county agent system has co-operated in heading off the introduction of undesirable or extravagantly priced livestock. In other instances the stabs bankers association, through its agricultural committee or the secretary’s office, has sent warnings to Its member banks relative to individuals or firms operating on an unsound basts. It is as important to head off undesirable and unprofitable investments as it is to encourage constructive and porfitable ones.—Banker-Farmer. BANKERS HELP The banks of Bodford county.
