SAFE BONDS FOR SMALL INVESTOR. There are thrro things v.-hlch the man with a (Mil alt IncomP should do with Iiis yivin and h' ehould have saving, if h- is uiso and thrifty. Tirt rf all, h should hnv a avins account in a 1-ank. It Is ready cash In time of r-mrrency. Second, he ?hould have some sort of life in.surancf, particularly if he has any dependents. Third, he should invest in "baby" bond. Most people first heard about the mall denomination bond during- the war, when the various liberty loan bonds were offered to th public. People who had done little regular ravins from their small incomes before then, learned that it was quite possible to pureha several fifty or one-hundr;d-dol-lar bonds during the year from Uncle Sam. Now that there is no further government emergency need for funds, the war investors are putting their tafh into all sorts of venture.. Rome are saving money repularly. Others are throwing it away on wildcat investments, of which ther have been an unprecedented amount during the past year. In the meantime there are many safe "baby" rund to be had which would offer a little more interest than the savin ks bank, and which an f borrowed on more readily than the life insurance policy. These bonds offer safety both of principal and Interest. Thi3 is essential to the small investot who can not afford to take any chances. He shoubl make his choice with the heir of some reputable authority. His bank will help him in this. By discriminating and steady purchase of sound, small denomination bonds, the investor will slowly build t,p a sure and comfortable competence, and he will be ready when the opportunity comes, to make use of the biper opportunities which were closed to him In the days before he learned to save.
m tim more protection fr the railroads. Thi3 sHTnins mlrncl- i achieved by protecting the public from further sfx k-w atirinp and other crooked financir ri:1.'. and j rovi! ir.tr machinery for cornpeliint: ord vr-rvie, and in turn Kivinjr the roadu .-esurnnrc of cr.cjtrh ir.eone to meet their legitimate reedy. Tli" Sherman law is no loneer regarded as a malevolent fetich forbiddir.fr natural and desirable combination" merely on the theory that size is criminal. Allowance is made for combinations, with the sanction of the government, and under its supervision. State oin.l!5m i renounce; individual enterprise i encouraged. A better mechanism is set up for the adjusimcnt of di.Hrnjte? letween railroad capital and labor a mechanim which ha;s more rower than organized ifibor liV:e, but Tvhih will not be likely to abuse its powr. The re. ilro.irls and the nation are recopnized at 'ast as partners but with the public interest paramount. This bill i.s comparable n importance to th regional bank act which plac-d our national finance v'a a secure foundation. May it prove as successful!
THE FARMER'S FAULT. The farmers; have been complaining a crreat deal lately about not fretting a .-ejuare deal. Their reports to Frovernmental inquiries have been filled with references to the smail amount they receive for their products in comparison with what the consumers pay for them. They seem to be convinced that they fire beinrrobbcd. If the majority of American farmers are bein; lobbed, it is very largely their own fault. It is pointe'd out that the fruit and nut growers of California nre not beine; robbed: the apr. le prowers of Colorado and Oregon are not beinp robbed: the oranpe Prowers of Florida art- not brins robbed. Why? Because these proup; of farmers have been sensible enouph to pet topether, foriettinp their prudpes apalnst each other, and marketing their products cooperative ly, lly this businesslike process they have not enly pot what their stuff is worth, but they have been enabled to make it worth more, by improved methods of cultivation and i-hipment. Farmers in any section or any community could do the same thin?. The farmers have a natural monopoly, that of land. In many localities they have also a special monopoly in climate or soil especially adapted te the raisins of .vome valuable crop. If they refuse to et any benefit out of their opportunity, holding to wasteful methods of production and marketinp. who can they blame but themselves? The government and public are always ready to help them. For their failure the public has a more Iepitimat'4 grievance against them than they have against the public.
BETTER RAILROAD POLICY. For a ionp period American railroads were indulged and pampered, and then for a long period they were .abused and starved. Now we are entering upon a third period of what, in comparison with either of the other two. eems destined to be one of just and enlightened treatment. The new ra'iroad law is doubtless full of minor imperfections, and may embody some big mistakes of policy, but it is certainly far ahead of any railroad legislation wo have ever had before, ami as such is to be welcomed. "With all its imperfections. It is an Indication that the government, in its handling of big Industrial problems, is bepinninp to catcli up with the times. There is more protection for the public than in any previous railroad measure, and tht re is at th"
STUMPS AND FORESTS. A brief news item from Montgomery, Ala., says the demand for pine products is so preat taat some concerns find it ve)rth while to clear cut -over lands simply for the privilege of t.aivarai stum page. Stumpape should be yalvaped under any conditions. There should be no waste in lumbering operations even if our forest resources were unmenaeed and the annual growth kept even pace with the annual cutting. L.ut unfortunate's' this iä not the case. Those Alabama stumps arc being salvaged only because ef the steady disappearance of forests of all kinds, and particularly of the pines in the south. If old stumps are vo valuable, the whole trees are worth still more. liefere it is too late cities, counties and states ought to get busy with th; prompt and continued setting out of new forests, plainting in any locality the trees that are native there and so thrive best under local soil and climatic conditions.

The stories about spirits are getting to be something fierce. From London comes a yarn that curious tappings have been heard in the home of a telegrapher, and the spirit must be a telegrapher too. because it talks to members of the family in the Morse telegraph code! It seems to be a sort of a little Western Union ghost. Can you imapine a man playfully hitting his wife over the head with a chair, and the spirit promptly tapping off the following message to him: "Fash two dots why don't you pick onto some one your size dash you big stiff dot dash."

i;lizahi7iii. llizabeth. is a holy name and has adevious origin, it likewise has as many derivatives, contractions, ani deminutives as Mary. Going back to early Biblical times we t'md that the "wife of Aaron possessed a name popular at that time, in that it contained a eiedicalion to the Deity. This name was FJischeba meaning God hath sworn. In the Latin this was called Elizabeth, tht mother of John the Baptist bore this name and her first historical namesake was the Muscovite ITincess Elsivetta, the daughter of Jarosaly and the object of the romantic love of the famous poet and seeking Harold, Hardarda of Norway, through her the name became popular in Denmark, whence it crept into Germany. One of. the first Elizabeths in France was Flizabeth of Hainault who married Fhilippe Auguste and in Iluncary. Flizabeth. or Frzseet as she is called there one saintly honors which brought her name great prominence in Germany. Flizabeth Woodville whose mother was hacequette of Luxtnburg was the lirst Hnplish Flizabeth on record. Flizabeth of York is another famous Fngliah woman of that name, supposed to be the object of the political courtship of Henry of Richmond, but the most famous of all the English Elizabeths was of course the famous oueen whose personality and achievements are immortal in the world's history. Elizabeth's talismanic gem is the diamond, which is sa to give it's wearer strength. indominatibility and freedom from all danger since according to an old legion the diamond absorbs al! poisons into itself thus protecting the one who wears it as an amulet. Tuesday is Elizabeth's lucky day and three her lucky number, the lily signifying innocence Is her ilower.

1 Which Shall It Be?
Your Wife, - Your Son, Your Daughter, Your Friend, Your Business Associate OR A TRUST COMPANY? The handling of your estate should be entrusted to an Executor who is always to be found when needed, who is never sick, who never dies, who has legal experience, who is financially responsible for his acts, who understands investments, the rental and sale of property, who is upright, unpredjudiced, etc. It is seldom any one man possesses these very necessary qualities, but if you were fortunate enough to select such a man as your Executor. HE MIGHT DIE THE DAY AFTER YOU DO. That is the reason why of late years men of foresight select a reliable Trust Company as their Executor. Permanent, capable, trustworthy service is assured at no greater cost than if a relative or friend were given the care of the estate. Our Trust Officers will be glad to discuss in confidence your wishes regarding your estate. St. Joseph Loan and Trust Company
