• WAYS TO BLOCK CROOKED PROMOTERS | By W. R.

rienced investor should consult his banker or let the National Better Business Bureau, whose headquarters are In New York City, advise him. It costs nothing to get sfich advice from either source. It is safe to say that if those who have lost their savings through fraudulent schemes had followed this simple course they would still be In possession of their money. Get the Facts Invariably, get the facts and take no substitute. There is nothing better and nothing just as good as the facts when it comes to withdrawing your savings from the bank and investing them. The facts about an investment either strengthen its posltioh or shew it up to be risky—oftentimes too risky for the person who cannot afford to Lose.

her in her homiu * , 'A’ Good Advice that Prevented "T Disaster 'i Niw schim s to defra:;.l T * are being hatched daily. The unscrupulous promoter never

sleeps but Is continuously plotting, \atSask on hard-won accumulations. The liberties 1 he takes with the law and the schemes | he designs for belittling the sound advice of responsible persons makes it even more essential for investors to get the facts. . Remember that anything that is worth investing in is worth knowing about as to its safety, its Income, and its marketability. Any investment which is enshrouded by a screen of giowing promises or is so complicated that neither you nor your banker can ; fathom it and get the hard facts Isn’t an investment you can afford to put your money into. Make it an unbreakable rule to get all the facts, whether the investment be large or small, and you will save yourself the heartaches and bitter disappointment of losing your savings. Millions of dollars which have unfortunately been lost through poor investment might have been saved if the investors had taken time to investigate before investing. There is always need for capital in ease, honest busi- . ness and so great is the legitimate de- , mand for investors' funds that not one ! cent need be wasted by them on fraudI ulent schemes. Don’t Trade Good for Bad Don't exchange your investments for (A future article will tell of more , their savings.)

BANKERS HELPING Hires banks in South Carolina have inaugurated a plan to provide tree of rent tor two years a centrally located place to be used by the farmers ot Greenville and neighboring counties for the purpose of establishing a creamery, a canning factory and a farm woman's club. The idea is to get ■ I the farmers Co raise livestock, to raise ; their own food and feed and to have something extra to sell. The canning 1 factory is intended to utilize the sur- | plus garden and fruit products, and the club rooms for retting the support ‘ 1 and co-operation of the farm women. Georgia bankers have made great I i strides in furthering a diversified ' farming program the past year. They induced farmers to sow fifty-five carloads of vetch seed, furnished local prizes in eighty counties for the corn i contest, the state pFtze ot *I,OOO being I

, hand many unreliable persons are ostensibly engaged in the same pursuits, but in reality are only promoting frauds. Therefore, every investor should first divide the sheep from the goats before he hazards his savings. Because there are many dishonest manipulators using mining, oil, invention and promotion terms to I deceive does not mean that all promoters in these fields are crooked. The truth is, there are many trustworthy men engaged in pro- I moting enterprises that are honest invest- ' ments. The problem is to know the difference ! | between promoters of the reliable type and the ( I high-pressure variety. The former are en- j I gaged in legitimate business. The other group I is engaged in fleecing the public. The number of those who deliberately | J scheme to defraud is large and they are l 1 shrewd and deceitful. For this reason those ' who cannot Afford to lose their savings should

1 others you know nothing about. Some ' time you may be approached to make . I a trade by a plausible person claiming ' to have better investments to offer I than those you have. Recently a worn- j an owning a block of gilt edge public utility stock was approached by two i smooth sharpers and urgod to exchange ft for stock in a fruit company ' which, she was told, was not only very valuable then but would Increase rap- | idly in value and soon make her independently wealthy. Fortunately she told her neighbor about her offer. U happened that the neighbor had recently been defrauded in a similar way. She advised the second womaa to report her offer to the local better • business bureau. Having handled many similar situations the bureau instructed the woman to make an appointment for the traders to meet

They were on hand at the appointed | ...-v.-iir .... v, rr. tfen (s’SßfttAj ••( j swindlers they proceeded to inveigU 'ter stock away from her, assuring her that if she exchanged her public utility ♦stock for that of the fruit company there was no doubt she would become very rich. But just as they were spreading out before her a beautifully embossed stock certificate the bureau’s detective stepped out from hia place of concealment and told the swindlers he had come prepared tc take them for a ride in his car. They ; protested loudly and even struck at him, but experienced as he was in handling persons who resist arrest ha soon had them handcuffed together. Investigation revealed that the certificate of stock of the fruit company was fictitious. No such company had j ever been organized. The evidence also disclosed that some certificate# I had already been issued and exchanged and there were a large number more ready for future use whenover a trade could be arranged. Literally thousands of inexperienced I investors are being swindled out of their good investments in such trades. It behooves all persons who have good investments not to exchange tlfrrn without first getting all the facts from 'heir banker or other person fully qualified to advise and protect them.

Alfalfa acreage has increased from 1,800 to 5.000, the demonstration being cred- J ited with 50 per cent ot this increase.' This year the state has produced 12,000,000 more bushels of corn than last year, has told 50 cars of truck, |2,000,- ; 000 worth of pecans, and has produced ' 150,000,000 pounds of meat and enough corn and hay for its own use. AS LABOR SEES BANKS Vest sums of money are lost each ' i year by wage-earners through invest- ( ments hastily entered into With the i ; confidence of the wage-earners, banks will be enabled to more accurately advise such investors and thus save money which might otherwise be lott by unwise speculation. — William Green, President American Federation of Labor. i
