banker makes in regard to investments 
are not likely to be disastrous. 
Above all take plenty of time to get all 
the information available before you 
make any investment. One of the favor¬ 
ite tricks of the stock promoter is to urge 
haste telling his victim that unless he 
acts without delay the price of the stock 
he is offering will advance. Don’t be 
deceived. There is never any hurry about 
investing money. It probably took you a 
long time to earn and save. Why then 
be in a hurry to turn your funds over to 
somebody else to take care of for you. 
Speculators often have to make quick 
decisions; investors never. 
Exercise the utmost caution in the 
matter of securities of new companies. 
They are almost without exception 
speculative. Give the preference to home 
investments. If you are a farmer in 
New York it is very foolish of you to go 
into partnership with an oil producer in 
Texas. Unless it is a mortgage on real 
estate with the value of which you are 
personally acquainted or an appraisal of 
which is available by competent and dis¬ 
interested experts do not buy something 
you cannot sell. That rule alone will cut 
out most promotions. How shall you tell 
whether or not the security can be sold? 
Again the best way is to ask your bank

bow much they will loan you on this bond 
or stock in case you buy it. Banks do not 
make loans on collateral they cannot 
dispose of. If it is not good enough for 
someone else to buy of you, why should 
it be good enough to buy for yourself? 
In conclusion it is 1 the testimony of 
those whose opinion is entitled to the 
most respect that more money is ac- 
cumulated by patient and conservative 
investors than through any kind of 
speculation whatsoever. There is no 
quick way of getting rich and staying 
rich. To save money and to keep it the 
only safe way is to follow the example of 
the tortoise and not the hare in the old 
fable. 
We Favor the League Plan 
{Continued from page 10If) 
greater the skill the greater should be the 
price. In regard to milk it now requires 
more skill than ever to be a dairyman so 
the price should be greater than ever, 
which it is not, due entirely to the fact 
that too many people are willing to take 
less than their skill deserves. Dairy skill 
includes cost and amount of production 
and marketing under such conditions that 
will nullify the law as shown in argument 
two. I repeat that too many people are 
content not to receive enough for their 
dairy skill. Certainly the plan creates an 
artificial price in as far as all prices in 
money are artificial and increasing human 
skill demands an increasingly artificial 
price. 
I don’t know exactly why the League 
adopted the multiple price plan but I do 
know why I am in favor of that plan. 
1. IT IS NOT JUST. 
2 . IT IS A USUAL METHOD OF MERCHANDIS¬ 
ING. 
The only concrete kick that a farmer 
has is that he doesn’t get his share of the 
retail price. It is no doubt a genuine 
grievance and deserves a remedy. There¬ 
fore a wholesale price based on the price 
consumers have to pay is most just. When 
the non-poolers are with us and the fluid 
price is as near the fluid retail price as the 
butter class is now near the butter price 
(which is not unreasonable) the dairying 
industry will be on a paying basis and 
there will be a whistle on the lips of the 
dairymen.. 
This system of several prices was al¬ 
ways in existence as the daily surplus was 
sold on the platform to the highest bidder 
or for what it would bring. Thus the 
dealer could force down the price by point¬ 
ing to a loaded platform of auction milk. 
With nothing but fluid milk directly on 
the New York market, a good price could 
be obtained but for the “artificial” price- 
cutting by Sheffield and non-pooled milk. 
A price of seven or eight cents a quart 
would be impossible. Compare your price 
with the retail New York price and see 
who is making the money. Therefore the 
multiple price plan will give the farmer a 
more just return from the consumers’ 
dollar than any other plan and gives a 
more just distribution of profit. 
Any business man or successful sales¬ 
man will sell as much of his product for a 
large a price as possible and if there is 
some goods left over he sells it for what 
he can get. That is why our department 
stores have midwinter and midsummer 
sales. They move all the goods they can 
at a good profit. The rest are advertised 
at reduced prices till a level is reach w'here 
the goods are sold out. This practice is 
so universal as to have been overlooked 
by some economists. 
The Dairymen’s League sells every 
pound of fluid milk, every day that it can 
sell for a high price. The rest is held out 
of the fluid market, is sold at reduced 
prices to be manufactured. 
If any non-pooler or economist can 
convince a jury of impartial business men 
that there is a simpler and more just 
method or one of better business princi¬ 
ples, let them come forth and debate the 
question in the proper and old-fashioned 
manner.—W. C. S., Divine Corners, N. Y. j
