STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER e (Established 1873) Se GETTING RICH Mary Pickford’s income for two years was $1 123,- 625, according to court testimony in New York. The president of the United States makes that much in 15 years. The average unskilled day laborer in eastern steel mills, making 20 cents an hour, would have to toil 2,265 years to carn as much as Mary gets in two! years. Salaries of movie stars are almost as great marvels | as the actual moving picture invention. The tremendous incomes of movie stars illnstrate .a point that, should be indelible in the brain of any | one trying to get rich This is the point: If Mary Pickford, for instance, appeared on the ‘age and had-only one person or a few for an aud-| ould be only a few. dolla . were the professional story ienee, Hel’ faceme y Such pérformers a da. ellers of medieval Bagdad or modern Japan.

American women have been running for offi 1866. She recalls that since Time is not far off when at least half of the politi-| eal officeholders will be womer No woman who has} yet held public office has made a botch of the job.

The bonds of the United States government and the bonds of virtual- ly all our states and better munici- palities may b2 bought, of course, without hesitation.

Investors’ Desires \4 As a general rule the inyestor wishes three things—(1) absplute safety, (2) as high a yield as possible, and, (3) a marketable investment, that is, one which he can quickly turn into cash if he neds it. These three things do not usually go together. lutely safe and instantly marketable will not yield anything like so much|% as a stock with a narrow market and with uncertain future earnings. A real estate mortgage’ will yield.a higher return than’a highly marke¢- abla bend because rj> matter how safe, it is not likely that the holder of the mortgage can quickly turn it into cash in an emergéncy. ‘Sometimes he can sell it, and sometimes he cannot. In many cases conditions are such that he must expect to hold it to ma- turity. 1 e small inves‘or wh) does not ne2d to convert his principal into | cash in, a hurry may safely aim at a ‘higher yield than the small investor who feels he may need his_ principal back on short notice. Fluctuation of Bonds All bonds fluctuate in price and, under existing world conditions, fluc- tuations in bond prices are likely to be much greater than they were in the quiet settled times before the war. The small investor who fore- sees emergencies which may require him to convert his savings into cash, without knowing just when he will need it, may do better. to limit him- scif to the savings bank or to short- term United ‘States Treasury Certifi- cates or to time deposits in his local bank.

He referred to several individual cases where one concern displayed rare judgment in preparing circular Jetters following with succ ive pub- licity and reaped big profits while an- other concern or individual may flood No attention whatever. The maiter of a public mailing list which may be of use by local con- cerns in presenting advertising in- formation and. publicity to the city of Mandar. and its own trade territory in connection with newspaper adver- tising, was discussed and the unani- mous opinion of the club was ex pressed favoring the move.
