Opening prices, which ranged from 4éc to.tao higher with May $180% to $1.81% and July $1.04% to $1.64%, were followed by slight further gains, and then by a break that, in some cases, went 2% cents urder the early top figures.

Livestock Amateur vs. Expert Opimions Some:men unknowingly take big ehances in trying to eliminate risk That 1s rather a strange statement, yet it is certainly true, whey the ay- erage man substitutes his. own judg- men for that of an expert in any profession. This is especially appli- cable to the investment field. Only a few days ago a man in a small city wrote to a newspaper in a large industrial center, asking for suggestions in investing $6,000 for a crippled woman. The paper ex plained, the difference {n the various types of securities, and pointed out the yield whtch could be expected on fairly safe bonds, “It explained how much the inyestor paid for marketabilit 1 for tax exemp- tion, . éte. representative bonds were suggested from which. the selection might be made. The inquirer wrote in reply, that he was too late to purchase the bonds which were in the list. They were all gone. Of course, the paper replied that since the bonds were on the market, an investment bank- er or his own bank could- buy them for him. OBITUARIES Funeral services for William Nu- gem, 78-year old Balt Creek resident who died “Saturday,” were held this afternoon ‘at the Shaffer,Gay chapel The Rey. J. 'T. Hanna officiated.

Funeral services will be he'd at the Shaffer.Gay chapel to- morrow dfternoen ‘at 2 o'clock and er. A little later the man again wrote the newspaper, y criticising his bank. It s ho had dug up some book whic! 1 him just what @ bond should be and how it shayld look, He did not like the looks: of the bonds which were sent to him through his bank. He objected to the looks of tho signatures” of the officers, and sent the bonds back. » Evidently his book sald that all signatures on a bond should-be @atinctly legible. The bank and the bank's attorneys explained to him that the bonds were executed piop- | erly, but he knew better. Then the man ked the news paper to purchase the bonds for him. He disregarded the advice of -his own banker whom he had known for years, and who undoubtedly expect- ed to live next door to him for 1.any more years. The strangest part that the question was one of legalits not of personal opin'on. If a bank cannot ermine the légality of a certain bond, who can? — Certainly he could not expect to be able to give an expert opinion kimse Qtr, Hughe next artigie will appear. in the Tribune next Satur: day.) and relatives here for the last few weeks, expects to return to bis home tomorrow the trip to be made by motor, . ° Elmer Cummings 1s transacting business affairs here for a few days from his home in Omaha, Miss Rose Kimball spent Christ~ mas with friends and relatives a Guernsey.
