[ Rose Traced to Venus There are many legends of the orlgin of the rose. We quote one from “Customs of Mankird”: “Ag nld tradition tells us that Venus, hurrying to Adonis with nectar, stepped upon a thorn while alighting from her chariot. Blood rushed from the wound. and stained the bush, ad a litile pectar was spilled over it algo. Where both blood and nectar mingled on the bush, a beautiful red rose made its appearance. . .. .» . y S ——— No Home-Made Bread It is frequently said men run their homes. How about home-made bread? ‘I scarcely know a man who does not wunt home-made bread and cannot get it; the bakers have persuaded the women that bakery hread is berter. as barbers have persuanded them ahout bobbed hair. And look at the cluthes the man milliners have persuaded the women to wear.—E. W, Howe's Month--Iy.

If your name is on the list and it is known that you invariably “Investigate Bef(\x: you Invest,” your name is checked to indicate that you are too hard to sell to be worth *cultivating further, but if you invest first and investigate afterward, your name is checked to indicate that you are aasily swindled and for this reason your name is worth sloo,—not to you, but to the owner of the list, for the names of those who invest without investigating are choice prospects and sell readily to promoters. Certain names on a sucker list are checked to indicate “easy picking,” and by this is meant that in addition to being ignorant on investments, those checked are not disposed to ask advice of their banker but g 0 ahead and invest in anything from gold bricks to stock in some proposed company

SR : that as iony as you live you will receive bunkum literature. . : . Some people are so foolish as to feel complimented that so much attention is shown them by men having investments to offer. The facts are, instead of a compliment being paid them, it is a reflection on their ability to judge between a good investment and one of the bunkum variety.
It you want to draw the attention of dealers in sucker lists and of promoters of various kinds, let it be known that you have a savings bank account or good securities and you will be the object of a very vigorous campaign to relieve you of those savings. It is always well to remember that the irresponsible promoter specializes on swindling savings depositors, exchanging his fake investment for their bank account, which is always worth 100 cents on the dollar.
Of the numerous bait schemes used to swindle the public the trading of equities in real estate is among the most successful from the promoter’s standpoint.
* From the owner’s standpoint a ‘trade usually means getting into deeper water financially—going further into debt.
Here’s how it works. If you have an equity in a piece of property, which equity you would like to be relHeved of, some promoter will offer te give you credit for your equity on the purchase price, of another piece of property or on the purchase of certain hot air stocks. :
In the first place, the swindler actually allows you nothing for your equity as he marks up the price eof what he is selling you a like amount—with the result that you lose your equity on one hand and get yourself into a less desirable deal on the other. Proceed slowly, it you are approached with a proposition to trade an equity. It may not be exactly what you prefer, but holding the equity is far ahead of holding the sack after some swindler has dealt with you.
pense with 239,000,000 hens, and still maintain the present production of eggs. : The importance and significance of quality production in our live stock is well illustrated in some figures taken from Wisconsin,, where over 5,000 cows belonging to cow testing associafions have made definite records. esults are shown in the following: ‘ : Av.

The 250 pound cow, which produces $l6 profit, represents 6 per cent inter. est on $266. The 445 pound cow producing $7B profit represents 6 per cent interest on $1,300. In other words, one 445 pound cow will produce as much net profit as five 250 pound cows. Any surplus in dairy produets can readily be taken care of by simply eliminating unprofitable or loWw-pro-ducing cows.

If you buy unbranded gasoline, you buy a product which no company vouches for. You may save a few pennies in the purchase price, bur it will cost you more in the end. It is wiser to buy a known product—a branded product—with the backing of a company with a reputation to sustain. Your car represents a big investment. Itis worthy of your care.
