Sucker Catchers When the oil ‘stock and other get-rich-quick outfits tire of oth- er means of landing their victims, they often try the plan of appeal- ing to their sporting blood. “Outside of trust funds,” says a certain oil stock market sheet, “there seems no. reason why any red-blooded American should not take whatever degree of financial risk he sces'fit, for the sake of the opportunity for large profit. Our position as brokers and deal- ers is, and at all times has been, strictly consistent with these gen- eral principles. \Ve have pointed out the risks in speculative invest- enmts, we have said that certain people by nature were not adapt- ed to adventure, financial or oth- erwise, and then we have advised those who really want to get ahead. to accept the necessary risk for the sake of the opportu~ nity. . . . . . . “If you go adventuring with money, you take a risk. That is as true and plain as that two and two make four. Don’t forget it. But people do, and alwa s have, and always will, make big money by risking total loss. And that is as true and plain as that three and one make four. If you were in the back seat when Na- ture passed around the spirit of adventure, which is the'spirit of far-sightedness and courage and grit and progress, don’t specu- late.” fThe inference is plain enough. on are a poor sport and a che p skate, stick to safe invest- ments. If you are a red-blooded citizen and a good sport, come on in—take a chance—we dare you. Here is a good working rule on investments and speculation; paste it in your hat: As soon as you have $100,000 in money or property, paying you an income of not less than $4,000 a year and not more than $6,000, and invest- ed in such a way that it is impos- sible to get it out suddenly in a moment of excitement to gamble with—then you are almost rich enough to think of risking $100 in oil stock speculation. If you are worth less than $100,000; you are too poor. Following this rule will not give you any of the thrills of thinkinr you are “red-blooded,” of pre- tending to yourself and your fam- ily and friends that you have the “spirit of adventure,” r“far, sightedness and couraoge and grit”. But it will keep some good . hard money in your pockets and out of the clutches of a gang of thieves. , I O 0 Vacation WorkForBoys One of the problems which parents of high school and college students have to settle nowadays, is as to what these young people, especially the boys, shall do duro ing the vacation season. Formerly a lot of boys just leafed around through the sum- mer. Their idleness was not useful, but anyway they were at home and under supervision. Today, the general tendency, when they reach a certain age, is to work during their vacations. They enjoy earning spending money, and they get new and interesting experiences. But according to the mothers’ point pf view, these boys often have a pretty diflcult time of it, and sometimes work under un- desirable conditions. Boys who do farm and other outdoor work usually have a healthful summer. But if they get under a hard employer, he may put them at work which should only be done ‘ Many boys have a restless de- sire to see the country and will General Orders HaganBy T. O’Dell Radio fans who don't have a chance. to ‘go. calling on "beaux night" might be interested in the ad- vertisement of a new power tube on the market which, according to the advertisement gives “agreeable oscu- lotion." Inn Stone. up in Winsted. has had all-sorts of stories in the daily press about the freaks of nature that seem- (ugly inhabit that part of the ‘state to the utter exclusions of all other places where industrious correspond- ents may be hard at work. .However. Lou that yet to ‘send‘out to the world this year a story about the fa- mous-"tunneling trout." These fish have been found in .the Wilton streams by several local Waltons. At least thnt is the only explanation they could give for their having gotten away. 0 O O "Nimrod" is heartily thanked for his words regarding our gift of‘ poetry. One genius ”is always happy to be recognised by another. Incidentally we welcome “Nimrod" back to the journalistic held once more. C 0 0 He is a. Prodigal Son in a way. Of late he has been absent from the re- porters' home. but he was unlike the prodigal son in that the fatted calf had to be killed and cooked before he would consent to stop mixing up with the pigs. 0 O 0 . That we will ever be a "poet larlat" is beyond our wildest flights of fancy. '0 O 0 However. there is plenty to afford a ‘poet of the people" in Norwalk. a rare opportunity to make him. or her- self. distinguished. O 0 We ofler a few line, of inspiration~ to anyone who may desire to write a verse or two that would resound to the ' fame of Norwalk. It’s not at all neces- sary to use what we write. it'- only a suggestion. but try it out and see what you can do and send it in. We don't absolutely guarantee that you will be rewarded but at least you will do your “daily act of kindness" by re- lieving us of the duty of filling this half-column on the day we print it. Here’s the start: 0 O O A city of hills: a city of dells. A city of scents and a. city of smells. A city of spaces; a.- city of crowds. A city of Joneaes. Smiths and Dowds A city of progress; a city of thrift. A city of honor: a city of thrift. A city that's growing and yet seems to lag. A city ’ There's the general idea. Simply go ahead and shin out something like the above. something anyone can do. and sooner or later you'll be called "a poet of the people." 0 O O The staff photographer picked up the paper the other day. "Pretty poor, Hagun,‘ said he. "Not much humor in it today. The column's growing weak." 0 O 0 Always polite. we said: “You poor dummy. do you suppose that this column is supposed to be simply a place where outburst after outburst of rare Jest and humor will find its home. Of course it's not funny. For one minute do you suppose that all we do i dash madly into the office. sit down and rap of! a. stick full of screamingly comic remarks ?" 0 O 0 “Heaven forbid.. If we did that the city editor would be laughing so much heycouldn't get his other work done and the linotype operator would fall off the chair in hysterics. \V'e have ~a‘ little consideration for our fellow workers and that is why we have been holding back on some of that stuff you'are looking for." O O 0 "If you ever find that we have in- cluded any humor in this column. Just let us‘know. lt.will be because Joe Fortin or Tom McMahon or Jim Sex- ton or some of those fellows who have been slipping one over on us and have sent in a contribution or two. don't just wait until they ask another favor of us." O t 0 That's our declaration of independ- ence. H. T. O'D. desire ,to work is admirable, but they should think whether the job they propose to stake is the right thing for a young fellow who may not have attained his growth. The money or the fun they get are not' the principal things. The main object is for them to find healthful work that will give 'them useful experience and fit jthem to take up more important jobs later on. A boy during his summer vacations gets a chance to try out diiferent kinds of work and find‘ out what he is best adapted to. , ' F fty Cents A Race Jockeys in Germany get about 40 to u cents-e. raoe,with a. small per- added for riding a winning mo -undcr the terms of a new tar— ifl.
