The deer “ply“to their owners not only food and clothing, but a livelihood.

A few generalirules can be stated bearing int mind that there are always ex- ceptions. ~ bs The first and most important point to be considered is the record of the borrowing government over a long period of years. Has it al- ‘Ways met its obligations punctually and completely? Have its pgople a “ reputation for keeping t! pledg- » @d-word In the matter of its fi- namces? In other words, what is | the credit standing of this parti- } cular government? To use an il justration, every one knows that Great Britain fulfills Her e- ments to the letter. As a matter|ot fact defaults.on government loans ‘are unusual for the simple reason that governments are. always in jeed of funds and {ff they voluntar- "'-fly impair thelr own credit it make: it extremely difficult to borrow th brings us to the | second v TLANTA, Dees 8.—Oranges van ante gnc shipped. in bulk ‘from lorida, points are ‘selling at retail on railroad tracks here for .$1, a bushel, Cy cipthing-matiufacturer Ke hat there\has been a daily increase) ‘ot fees sihoe ee Last, week DECEMBER 8, 1924.

The pree- ‘ent problem which: confronts; the bureau of education in this.connec- tion is to reorganize the industry on | Ay, & co-operative basis so as°to handle the increasing herds more effictently and‘ to market’ the meat’ more: eco- nomically.

This also is « rare condition inasmuch as governments have the taxing power and can, pro- ‘vide funds in this way to meet their necessities. Still it will be found that) foreign bonds are rated more or less in proportion to the financial strength of the debtor. So it is wise to make some examination of the tmmediate financial condition. The third point has to do with the Political side of the question. -Is the government stable or is it Iike- otherwise? We all know what hap- pened to the holders of Russian bonds’ when the soviet, authorities took over the Ruslan government. Even though there may be no ac- tual danger of a government being overthrown a. minor insurrection is Gamaging to ‘fta credit and so af. fects the market price of its bonds.
