WARNS AGAINST WILDCAT STOCKS Head Os Indiana Securities Commission Warns Indiana Investors Imllanapoll*, Ind May 16 (Ul’l David 11. Jeiinlngn. head of the Indiana Securities Comm Union today issued a naming to Indiana Investors against ••wildcat" stocks. The recent collapse of the Braz s Valley Development company was responsible for Jennings' statement which reads as follows: "The arrest of two parties in Logansport for violating the Indiana Securities law should serve as a notice to citizens of the state that there are still stock salesmen in Indiana who are selling fraudulent securities. "The present "blue sky’ law which has been in effect for more than two years has done much to curb activities of these salesmen, but just so long as people with money to invest trust smooth-talking strangers with their Investments, just that long will some of our people be defrauded of their money. "While it is true that there is more money available for investments than at any time since the close of the war, it is also a fact that the reputable concerns operating in Indiana have many high grade securities on their lists. “If investors would buy their securities from reputable houses with established reputations the losses on investments would be minimized. The information on file in this office about securities is open to the public at all times. “'The Better Business Bureaus of the state, along with the larger banks keep posted on ail issues that are being sold. sA there is no excuse for any Investor not having full and detailed information about securities being offered. It is theirs for the asking. "The Indiana Securities Commission has registered some two hundred reputable dealers who may be depended upon and our investors would do well to confine their purchases to those dealers." — o BACCALAUREATE SERVICE IS HELI) FOR D. H. S. CLASS <«. O.XTIXI ED FROM I’UiE OVE) living is always accompanied by power, it is none of these things in themselves which constitutes true living. The true life is that one which is lived in most perfect harmony with the laws of nature and nature's God. It is living in harmony with truth, beauty, love, purity, God. This is the big meaning of living and it involves careful study, it involves the culture of the soul. “The importance of careful study is Involved again when we remember that we pass this way but once. If wo make a mistake in the culture of our immortal souls we have no other life given us to try again. How studiously we should apply ourselves ’herefor. Too few there are who are willing to think and keep thinking. Having completed the formal part of life’s education, they have given themselves over to the social status, the business status, the religious status of their day and environment. Thus they have become static; they have lost the power to think originally, to live progressively, and to advance civilization. They have become imitative rather than original and creative; their life has become mediocre rather than blilllant; they have become fossilized. Thus they are only a part of what they might be. "Why should we not continue to grow, think new thoughts, study to still advance as well at forty as at twenty, at seventy as at forty? Why should we not be intensive students throughout our lives? Why should we surrender our power to think originally at any period of our lives; why should we cease growing by refusing to continue to study? The difference between an old person or a young person may not be a difference of years; it may be a difference in our attitude toward life, in our unwillingness to presist in study and in continually growing in mind and soul, even when we are nearing the sunset of life. Ponce deLeon came to America in quest of the fountain of perpetual youth, and found it not. He who will insist in keeping his mind open and free to investigate, to study and learn, and thus conSHRDLUSR a large soul life will enjoy that desired perpetual youth. "Paul’s exhortation to Timothy was to study. We commend this course to you as youthful students of life. You must make a living, but much more you must make a life. The culture of your souls is your supreme task in the great university of life. To accomplish

this task, apply the resources of your entile personality-study. Making Good "We are so to study as to make our lives worthy of approval. Every life may be a success. The Creator has so designed; here we see infinite wisdom No life need be a failure; however, not every‘life may hope to succeed according to.man's standard cf success. In the parable of the Great Teacher. Dives was a success, from mans standpoint; Lazaru was a profound failure. But at the conclusion of life's education we find Dives an utter failure and Lazarus supremely successful. The only true success in life is that which endures eternally. Said the great Queen Elizabeth cf England on her deathbed. "My Kingdom for a moment of time'. Said Charles the IN King of France, in his last moments. ‘I am lost; I see it well.' Though we may seem to fail, we succeed failing, if true to life. Wnile Stephen, seemingly a failure, became martyr to his faith, he immortalized himself. John Bunyon, in prison wrote Bunyon's Pilgrims Progress. We sing ‘John Brown's Body lies a mouldzering in the grave; His soul goes marching on". 1 Paul in prison awaiting execution exultantly cried out ‘I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course. J have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown cf righteousness'; and he exhorted Timothy 'Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold to eternal life, whereunto thou art also called.' The world today needs as always it has needed, young men and women who can think through and who can stand for their convictions. Success, true success, involve obedience to truth and ones self. This success is possible to every brave soul. There is one thing whorst than to die nobly; that is to live ignobly. If we would commend ourselves we do not necessarily have to live but we do have to succeed in the fullest sense of the word. Henry Clay said ‘I would lather be right than president'. Success is inevitable to him who would have It. I challenge you as a class to study to show yourselves approved; 1 challence you to make your lives a success, a success in such a manner that your soul shall ‘build thee more stately mansions as the seasons roll”. Ultimate Responsibility ."The success in life to which we ate to apply our keenest powers of reason is that success which meets the approval of God, the One to Whom we are ultimately solely responsible. Webster once said the weightiest thought that ever engaged his mind was the consideration of his individual responsibility to God. There is a sense in which we are responsible to one another, and especially is this true in our complex social life of today; but in reality our final responsibility is to God alone. Incidentally this responsibility will involve our responsibility one to another. But we come from God and every soul ultimately must give an account to God for all he hath done whether it be good or evil. While it is natural to want to please man, we must not forget our chief concern must be to please God. Therefore we should study to show ourselves approved unto God. He has a plan for every life. His will for us is our supremest good; His will for us is our su will of God abideth forever. "I have referred you as a class to what I would term a great motto, a practical exhortation, for you as you launch out into the great university of life. Let me still refer you to one who has perfectly lived this life and who lays claim to become your teacher your Ideal, your perfect pattern,

Jesus Christ. ’Study to show thyself approved unto God'. That was Christ's 1 I motto. Early in life he began to study.' As a youth life had a serious aspect for Him. He tried to measure values. 'What shall it prefit a man if he gain the whole world, am! lose his own stall?’ As a youth He related His life with God symatheti< ally and enthusiastically. For Him to live was to do His Father's will . He dared to think for! Himself, and to think differently than His fellowmen. He dared to challenge 1 their false thinking and living; He dared to go down into seeming defeat before them while standing for God and eternal truth. But truth crushed to I earth did rise again. He determined above everything else to have the ap-j p.oval of His Heavenly Father. Did He! succeed? Has anyone else ever so succeeded ? | "I ccmmended to you as the Ideal stu ; I dent, the young man Christ Jesus. Let! I Him inspire you. Let Him be your; J standard. Izt Him be your guide.
