The Blue Sky Man is Here Again

The special session of the Indiana general as

sembly enacted a blue sky law, but the measure, as was pointed out at the time of its passage, does not safeguard Indiana investors against blue sky operators and stock promotion salesmen. A blue sky man is in Richmond now, and we may just as well be prepared to see others come in the future. Nothing can stop the efforts of men of this ilk to separate the unlucky investor from his money in exchange for stock certificates that are hardly worth the paper on which they are printed. The promotion stock salesman' has changed his method of operation in recent years. He surrounds his proposition with a semblance of financial soundness and tries to make the investor believe that instead of buying blue sky he is really buying something tangible. ' One .of the new methods follows this general course. The promoter issues a prospectus in which he describes his offering in detail and presents his financial plan. He buys a factory site by paying a few hundred dollars as an initial payment. The public is left under the impression that the

site has been bought and paid for in its entirety. At this stage a few local persons are interested in the enterprise, either because they do not understand fully what is intended, or because their stock is sold to them at a greatly reduced price. When enough money has been realized from initial sales of stock, a factory building is erected. In the meantime, the promoter has been drawing regularly and without fail a commission of 15 per cent on every dollar's worth of stock that is issued. After the building is completed, the insiders buy an old industrial concern that is ready to

suspend or go into the hands of a receiver. This plant is then sold to the company at an enormous profit, the promoters, of course, pocketing the difference between what they paid for the concern and the price at which it was sold to the company which they are promoting. As soon as the public has absorbed all the stock it will take, as soon as the "sucker list" supplies no more victims, the promoters resign from the company, and go to other fields to try the same game again. The public may believe that the danger of investing in promotion stocks has been exagger

ated, but there is hardly a periodical in the

United States, daily, weekly or monthly, that has

not printed article after article advising the in

vestors to put their money into stocks and bonds that have been tested and tried.

The stock promoter knows that the public is gullible, that it wants to get rick quick, that it wants to get something for nothing; hence, he never tires of redressing old schemes, of presenting old plans under new guises, for he believes that a sucker is born every minute and all you have to do to hook him is to change your bait.

Today's Talk By George Matthew Adams

READINESS. I have always admired the ready person the one with no complaints or excuses to offer when called for a task. To be prepared to accept every change in life as it comes and to do it with a sort of iron serenity well, that is heroism de luxe! Every star has its own set path and it doesn't worry over running into any other star. For its way is a part of the order of the universe. Readiness is an offspring of order. The well ordered man or woman takes things up in their turn and sees through them. And their tasks do not overlap. One thing at a time and that well done. Then the next job. The ready person is never swept off his feet. He stands his ground accepts circumstance at its face valueeven though that value is very high, lie pays it. Old John Brown at Harper's Ferry saw his s,ons shot down before his very eyes yet did he fight on. There was to this hero of heroes a readiness of mind and body that gave to him the fortitude to see in a great cause no personal fear. Also readiness is a creator of calmness, courage and fineness of mental attitude. There is a leadiness of heart which Fees in every misfortune a chance to serve. There is a readiness of mind which is able to grasp situations and face them and then to decide decisively. Readiness is power!

Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON

PERIL. I fear to cross the village street, where all the autos wind and mix, for I am shaky on my feet, and can't do acrobatic tricks. I tried this morning just for luck, to dodge across to Johnson's store, and I got tangled with' a truck, and broke three ribs, or maybe more. By modern ways I'm badly bored; I can not ramble near or far, but some one climbs me with a Ford, or spoils my person with a car. In olden times when horses drew the vehicles in which men rode, a man could walk a verst or two, and have no scalp wounds to bo sewed. Then one could cross the public way, according to his sane desires, and not be squashed beneath a dray, or wound around some rubber tires. You laugh to scorn the old time ways, the horses and their sluggish game; but trade went on in those brave days, and people got there just the same. And sports found just as much delight in driving Dexter or Maud S., as speeders in their autos bright, who fill the country with distress. I'd like to cross the village street, to have a haircut and shampoo, but I'm. no longer blithe and fleet, I jian't outjump a kangaroo.

Now I understand the three years all right, all right, but what was the ten days for, I'd like to know?" "That was the war tax," said a quiet citizen who got aboard at the chamber of commerce floor.

Dandruff Soon Ruins The Hair

Good Evening By Roy K. Mouiton

Why pay rent to a haughty landlord of a dress suit when you can own your own and enjoy scenery that, belongs to yourself? This is a question for every youi.g married man to take home and try od his piano. Thousands in moderate means are doing it. Why not becoaie the owner instead of a mere tenant of a dress suit? Contented millions have done it. Everybody is busy managing a cab Inet for Harding, but so far as we are concerned, we will never be happy again if Secretary Daniels is not forced to stop looking through the porthole of a battleship for the movie news reels. There are only two times when a baby will cry when there is something the matter with it and when there is nothing the matter with it. I never chase crooks and I don't know what I would do if I ever happened to meet one accidentally. 1 don't think Julius Ceasar was as great a man as his press agents claimed, and I don't think, any other man ever was, either. I would like to otter my congratulations to the man who will not have to be president of this country for the next four years. I have learned to live almost entirely without sleep since I have lived in the metropolis, and it isn't so bad at that.
