That is to have teachers in pulblic schools devote a few minutes each day toteaching Safety First. Not long ago our government gave out statistics showing that autos kill one person in the U.

Conias (Wash.) Post. TEACHING AMERICANISM At the convention of the National Education Association, it i: If In the business sense, the word Investment relates to the use of money In acquiring ownership of property. Ownership may represent entire possession of property as of a home; partial ownership as holding stock i4 a corporation: or conditional ownership as in the case of buying a mortgage or a bond. When a person makes an Investment in bonds, he Is really loaning his money to the government or corporation issuing them. He will receive the interest which they earn as long as he owns them, or until they are paid off. Ownership of great corporations is vested in individuals who have invested money in their stock or bonds. Many people regard the ownership of the United States Steel Corporation, for example, as differing from the ownership of, say, a small workshop. Yet investors In shares of Steel Corporation stock are entitled to the same rights, under the law, as the owner of the workshop. In the corporation, the owners hold certificates of stock as evidence of their investment, whereas the owner of the little workshop holds a deed as title to his land. Capitalistic Laws Protect Investors Because the laws stand for the equal protection of all investors, it is possible and profitable to make good investments. It gives an Incentive to work hard and to invest The person who wishes to invest must first work and accumulate funds with which to do so. youd take a poll of Salina citizens as to which season It always seems that the fellow smash, and the other half were who is determined to make a nui- ing that it would.

To know whether an Investment is worth buying the investor should go to a banker, or a successful business man in whom he has confidence, get his opinion and act In accordance with it. In all probability this will mean the difference between successful Investment and total loss of his money. The banker deals with investments every day and desires to give all the help and information he can, and the business man has learned by experience the need of caution and careful judgment. They believe one should have a clear understanding of an investment before it is purchased. They know the need for avoiding stock promotion schemes and propositions which in many cases have brought poverty and suffering.
