The welcome of all Elizabeth City to Parson Myers this week partook of the nature of a con tinuous ovation. Only one more Saturday in which to get your name on the registration books before the primary. Make the Seven Joyous Days of Chautauqua red letter days on your calendar. They are June 12 to 18. The question of who won the World War seems to be still un settled, thanks to divided coun sel among the Allies following the signing of the treaty ot" peace. Mr. Lawrence steered a mid dle course in Saturday's dis patch and presented both sides of the controversy as to the How?ll-Barkley bill. Somehow The Advance can't warm up to the new measure. You can't keep a good man down and once he gets up it is generally the case that every stumbling block put in his path turns into a stepping stone upon which he mounts to higher achievement. All of us preach the doctrine that the future of Elizabeth City depends upon the proper conservation and development of the agricultural resources of this section. But the First Na tional Bank, in providing for a demonstration of the most scientific and modern methods of boll weevil control, is trans lating its faith into words. A Prince Among Men An old timer in the newspa per business has observed how "wild-eyed" publications gradu ally become conservative with age and increasing prosperity. Likewise, the old timer goes on to point out, the quickest way to silence a fire eater is to let him come into a bit of money. Forthwith the standpat system begins to look good to -him. If the reddest radical were appointed to the Supreme Court bench, the chances are that his complexion would immediately begin to fade. It is a fact that a Labor Ministry in Briton has carried out a conservative pro gram. And even the Bolshe vists, when they got Russia, drifted farther and farther from communism. The man who can look at the world through the same eyes whether he is in affluence or poverty is rare indeed. And yet, now and then, we find one whom poverty can not sour and whom riches can not make proud. He is a prince among men I Everyman's Investments OEOftOX T. HTJOHXS By George T. Hughes I Mr. Hughe., is a bond expert and analyst with many years' ac tive newspaper experience. Ev ery week day of the year he writes an interpretive dispatch from New York concerning the activi ties of the day in the bond mar ket. He has prepared this series of articles for Advance readers at the request of the Consolidated Press Association. L\ND HANK HONDS Grading very high among con* servative investments are the bonds issued under the Federal Farm Act They aire of two classes. Federal I^and Hank bonds and Joint Stock Land Bank bonds. There is a sharp distinction between the two. The Federal Land Hanks, twelve in number are jointly liable for the bonds issued by any one of their number. There is no such joint lia bility among the Joint Land Bans. The Federal Land Banks are opera ted for the benefit of the stock holders. borrowers; the Joint Stock Land Banks are operated for prl ate profit. Loans made by both classes are strictly regulated by law. Mortgage must be secured by first lien and must not exceed In amount 50 perl cent of land Yalue and 20 per cent' of the permanent insurable Improve ments. Income from bonds of both banks , la exempt from all federated and State taxation. There has been tome' criticism of the policy of allowing , tax exemption to bonds issued by the Joint Stock Hanks on the ground' that such exemption is a subsidy to ; a private enterprise. This, however, does not touch the merit of the in vestment. For investors who require1 a high degree of safety and to whom ! exemption from taxation is an ob-, Ject these Land Bank bonds are very attractive, the obligations of the Federal Land Bank being entitled to'? the slightly higher rating. One other important point should I be considered in connection with these banks and their securities., That is the investment status of the shares of the Joint Stock Land Banks. Tfcese have been offered to: investors in all parts of the country j on an attractive yield basis. Undobt>| edly they have merit but such stock should not be bought without a clear understanding of just what kind of an investment it is. A well-managed Joint Stock Land ( Bank, and as far as the writeri knows they are all well managed, ought to make a good profit on the money invested but there is no guarantee expressed or implied on the part of the Governrnt^it or anyn body else of any profit at all. The stockholders are partners in the en terprise and take the same kind of a risk as stockholders in any other | business. And moreover some Joint Stock Land Banks are mora profitable than others. Finally there Is a double liability attaching to the holding of stock in these banks just as there is in stock in National banks. While this does not seem now ever likely to be of any practical importance it is well to keep It in mind. 75in?w Says' Women who know how to raise thlldren are kept too busy to tell. ? ? ?
