His attitude is based on his observa- tion of conditions there. “Before prohibition,” he says, “my constituents had no use for hard liquors. They were perfectly econtent ‘with beers and wines. Now same ple patronize speakeasies and boot- eIE:rs where they buy the vilest of whisky. “And those who do mnot have the money to buy whisky, have a beer erock going in their homes at all times, turn- ing out beer with an alcoholic content that runs from 8 to 10 per cent.

April 1, 1865.—From President Lin- coln, who is at City Point, VA, in the: rear of the Union lines, a telegram was received at the War Department this morning telling of a great battle yester- day before Petersburg. The President said that Gen. Grant is still advancing his headquarters. The President’s message and other in- formation received at the War Depart- ment today indicate that the fall of Petersburg, and possibly of Richmond, may occur in a few days. President Lincoln's telegram was ad- dresed to Secretary of War Stanton and was sent at 8:30 o'clock last night. The President said that he had received two messages from Gen. Grant, who is ad- vancing with the Army. The first was at 12:30 Em. yesterday, and it told of severe fighting that morning. The Con- federates first drove back the Union left from near Dabney’s house toward the Boydtown plank road. The later mes- sage said Grant's troops then took the offensive at that point and drove the Confederates in turn, taking the White Oak road. “Judging by the points from which Gen. Grant telegraphs,” wired Mr. Lin- coln, “I infer that he moved his head- this lovely model equally suited to the | uarters about 1 mile since he sent the first of the two . ‘The hospital steamer State of Maine arnved in Washington this morning from City Point with 375 wounded Union soldiers, the majority of whom were injured in an engagement a week ago. Many of them are very serious cases, There are 19 men with legs or arms amputated. ‘The officers of the State of Maine brought word that there are many sick and wounded Union soldiers at Oity Point, and that they will be shipped 1o Washington as rapidly as possible. They said the hospital steamer Connecticut was taking on a large number at the time they left and it should reach this city tomorrow. ‘Three Confederate captains and six Heutenants, captured by the 9th Corps in front of Petersburg three days ago, arrived here today and have been com- mitted ‘to the Old Capitol Prison. The captains are H. M. Bell, 41st Alabama. J. H. White, 46th Virginia, and R. Dunbar of the Holcombe Legion. ‘The youth of Washington and some adults, too, have been in the today.

BILLS ARE DUE The first day of the month arrives, and I can brighten many lives by pay- ing up my bills; I'll pay the plumber for his plums, the dentist who répaired my gums, the druggist for his pills. When to the grocer's I repair, and buy a kippered codfish there, I bid him chalk it down: “I'll pay,” I tell him, “on the 1st for all the fish and tripe and wurst that I may buy in town.” The grocer heaves a pleasant smile; he’s glad to trust me for a while; he thinks my word is good, that when the promised day lpge-rs I'll not be lagging in ar- rears, I'll pay up as I should. The grocer needs his picayunes, he has to pay up for his prunes and keep his credit fair; and if his patrons fail to dig for what they bought of potted pig, his soul is in despair. He counted on the promised dough, so he can pay what he may owe, and if it doesn't come, he thinks I am an empty fake, my word is only good to break, my credit's on the bum. Much grief is caused by heedless gents who do not pay the 50 cents they owe to Tom and Dick; they wish to burn up gas and ride, and so they let such matter slide, and make good mer- chants sick. The tailor has a careworn face, the butcher sighs around his place, because of unpaid bills; they trusted John, they trusted James, and find them playing stand-off games, and empty are the tills. I will not cause this sort of grief, I'll pay the butcher for his beef, the monger for his shears; I'll pay up all bills on the 1st, so that no prince may burst into a flood ‘WALT MASON.

Straight Talks to Women About Money Interest has been aroused among the investors who read this column about “investment trusts.” Most of the in- quiries have been to the effect of whether investment trusts are “good from the standpoint of the investor. One judges an investment trust in much the same manner as one judges the company vhns:dl‘emmlu are being con- sidered for ase. First of m, one wants to know the character and reputation of the execu- tives of the trust. Then one is vitally interested in the rating of its invest- ments. ‘The word “trust” )l‘nl ;hls cuefln:un: that the company holds a variety of securities in tli':at for the shareholders of the trust. The investment trust, in other words, acts as the investment nt of its shareholders. The funds of the shareholders are pooled into the capital of the company, The company then operates in the securities market according to the re- sults of its investigations, analysis and statistical research. In other words, the investment trust engages in the most scientific and expert investing with the funds of its shareholders. One usually becomes a shareholder of such a trust by either buying stock, bonds, or both. The sharehplder is generally protected to some extent by an agreement made by the trust in which it is limited in control of funds and range of investment. It is clear, though, that both sound and unsound, scrupulous and unscrupulous trusts may be formed. All trusts are not alike. Why form an investment trust at all? Greater diversification of holdings, fair returns and closer supervision of invest- ments are some of the advantages cited by proponents of the trust. Risk is spread over a large number of securi- tles, and loss is evenly distributed. Only marketable and dividend paying issues are purchased, and values are scrutinized carefully. It is true, as some have pointed out, that the administrators of a trust must be given rather broad powers in select- ing and handling the trust’s invest- ments. These powers should be defined and limited in black and white.
