(Sunday, May 1, 1927, the new soldiers cottage, housing approximately 250 men, will be dedicated at Elgin, 111. TJiis dedication ceremony is being conducted by the American Legion, Department of Illinois, at the request «f the Managing Director of the Elgin State Hospital, Dr. Ralph T. Hinton. This event is another step toward the ultimate completion of hospital facilities for mental cases among the ex-service men in this area. The general public are cordially incited to attend this ceremony, as the Llgion is quite proud of the type of hospitals now "being constructed for the care of the ex-service men suffering with mental disabilities. These buildings, together with the iaow buildings at Jacksonville, were ^ailt by the State of Illinois to take care of the urgent need and were planned when there was no assurance that the federal government would provide for the proper hospitalization of these men. An excellent program has been arranged, including a pageant by the •X-service men who are patients at the hospital in memory of oar country's heroes. ' The program will include Ferre C. Watkins, State Commander of The American Legion; Milton J. Foreman, Past National Commander, The American Legion, who is representing Governor Small; Jacob M Dickinson, National Rehabilitation Committee, The American Legion; Dr. R. T. Hinton, Managing Officer of the Elgin State Hospital; Rev. N. B. Clinch, State Chaplain of The American Legion; James Sykora, Past Commander, 11th District, The Amer. ican Legion; Herbert L. Moultou, Chairman. State Rehabilitation Committee, The American Legion; Father Walter L. Fasnacht, Chaplain of Glen Ellyn Post, The American Legion; and James E. White, Past Commander of Theodore Roosevelt Post, The American Legion.

The subject of the small town investor, came up. I asked him what impressed him moat about their methods of investing their savings. He replied: . '"Ojeir extreme daring." V That rather surprised me^ Ikad supposed the small investor, especially the small town investor, to be wary and suspicious of fakes and of frauds; rather cautious. My friend informed me that it is the large investor who is cautious. So I asked for more information. "Since the World War investments in stocks and bonds have become common," said my friend, the financial expert. "Buying has been free and liberal. That, of course, is good. But the small investor is likely to buy knowing relatively little regarding the assets behind his stocks or bondst little regarding the management and little about the methods of organization of doing business. 'He is likely to purchase unlisted stocks and bonds and when he does he may find, if the time comes when he needs quick money, that there is no ready market for them. A wise investor should consider two things-- safety and merchantability of his holdings. "Any investor can ascertain the value of his listed stocks in a moment any day by glancing at the financial pages of any large city newspaper. If he wants to know the value of unlisted stocks it will at best require some investigation, some loss of time, and even then he ma$r not be certain. Listed stocks are instant .collateral at almost any bank. So, seeking to be of some service to the hundreds of thousands of small investors who have developed in Illinois since the World War when the purchase of war bonds educated them to what they could do, I began to seek investment facts. There are six principal stock exchanges in the United States--in New York, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. The Chicago Stock Exchange stands second in size and influence. It passed the Philadelphia exchange ten years ago, the Boston exchange eight years ago. Two of these exchanges interest the T!linois investors--The New York and Chicago exchanges. Every Illinois investor is interested in developing Illinois business in every way. That means that, speed and service in transactions being equal, he ought to favor the Illinois institution, which is the Chicago Stock Exchange, with hisx business. Likewise investors in other Central *W«stern states, vl;o profit when this midwestern country develops, ought to favor the Chicago market. Are they doing it? In some ways they are. At least fifty per cent of all the public utilities now being financed in the United States are financed in Chicago. In that one division we go beyond our territory for we find utilities in Florida, New Jersey, Maine, Minnesota, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas and the Pacific Coast coming into this market with their securities. But there is another end to it. We find 262 stocks of companies doing business in Illinois listed on the New Y< Stock Exchange, which are not listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange. Of these sixty-nine are incorporated in Illinois and maintain their producing headquarters in Illinois. New York stock exchange business in these stocks during 1926 was 13,372,573 shares more than Chicago stock exchange for the same period. Only twenty-two Illinois 3tocks are listed on both the New York and Chicago exchanges. Seven of these twenty-two companies are incorporated in Illinois and maintain headquarters here. In spite of that. New York's trade in these stocks in 1926 totaled 10,507,669 shares while Chicago's was only 1 092,907. These facts are stated frankly to develop thought and conj sideration. The interest of Illinoisans ! is in Illinois. j If stocks are to be listed on the ; Chicago Stock Exchange there must | be some advantage to the company or : corporation making Ahe listing. I talked with several men qualified to discuss that subject. Here are some | of the reasons they gave me. 1--Rigid requirements lift the stock | out of the class of investments which i must come under scrutiny of Blue ! Sky Law investigations. | 2--Listing gjives the stock prestige i market. J 3--Prompt publishing of prices, , available at once by ticker, supplies | an instantaneous loan value. ; 4--Rules of the exchange fix com- ! mission rates to be charged to buyer? as distinguished from an unregulated situation on outside transactions. 5--Rules which regulate and facili tate the delivery of securities in the proper form. Other reasons, some of them technical, can be taken up with the secretary of the exchange by anyone interested. Requirements are fixed and rigid and it can easily be seen that many stock and bonds being bartered can not gain listing. The time has come when the public should no longer look upon a stock < • ] exchange of this class and type as a •1 (rambling place. It is today a market. Securities which are as safe as man's ingenuity can make them are dealt in. They are bought and sold. The t.u.ving and selling is as direct and clear-cut as the buying and selling of beef animals or clothing or oranges or potatoes. Deliveries are made and the paper, which represents some undivided part-interest in some great manufactory, business house or utility, changes hands. The Chicago Stock Exchange is the only market of its kind in Illinois Step into your bank if you want to invest and through your banker you may bay with the full knowledge that ",",a ti'-wnjjjiytoH ha"e a and conservative as any any.
