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.

To llie Voters of Pasquotank.!
Having known Mr. Charles L. Ball
of the Weeksville section for several
years; I take great pleasure in com
mending him to the voters of the
County; as a man who is capable of
filling the office of sheriff to the
highest degree of efficiency.
He is a man of good address,
pleasing personality, keen Intelli
gence, fine character and good busi-;
ness sagacity, and will be progress
Ive. The nomination and election of
Mr. Ball will mark a new era In the
history of Pasquotank County. My
acquaintance and knowledge of him
Inspires me with the belief that if
elected he will make a sheriff that
all will be yroud to call their own.
So let's vote for Ball.
.sincerely,
A FRIEND.
