L- Barber, well known financial writer of Chicago, in a book which he calls "Making Money Make Money." The book has started a lively discnssion among wage earners and savings bank directors. "Safety first" is his motto on investments but a wise investment, he says, is the key to financial success and a surer way to better one's financial condition than to let the money one has saved lie in savings banks at low interest. He approves of savings banks but asserts too much importance has been given to saving and boarding instead of investing wisely.

Barber says that nearly every man who baa acquired great wealth first worked for others and saved. "Rockefeller was a grocer's clerk; THREE-FOURTHS OF RATION IS NOITDRY" More Than Half the States!

Starting Seringa to Work. "These men," he writes, "started in life with only the ability to do a day's work, the same as yon and They saw that this in and of itself would not get them, wealth. They had the self-denial to save some of i their earnings and the courage to set their savings at work to earn money."

The same money in vesteG in tne urean 01 wneai tornpany, he declares, would yielded as much as $1,200 some years and today would have a value of 410,000. Kellopt's Corn Flakes, he avers, would reproduce the 4100 daily. Gillette Safety Razor Company would have increased the investment into shares of the par value of $52,000, drawing dividends amounting to $3,640. Mr.

Barber quotes other figures showing the money to be made through profitable investments. Enormous earnings at banks, some of which, he reports, are paying forty per cent dividends to their stockholders, are made possible, he says, by the willingness of depositors to leave their money in the tanks year after year at only three par cent. lOFT COAL KING OF FOEL MARKET I Bituminous Coai Sells in the City of Baltimore for $7 and $8 a Ton. BALTIMORE. Not.

the first time In the history of the coal business soft coal yesterday sold at the mines at a higher price than charged at the mines for hard coal. Coal promised for Immediate dellvf. ery sold In the bituminous sections of Pennsylvania and Western Maryland at $7 a ton. mine basis, to the distributing trade. This means that these coals, which are generally used by the Industrial world here, are worth In Baltimore, after the payment of freight and pier charges, from $8.25 to $8.69 a ton.

This Is not more than paid for anthracite at the mines, but also as cnargea lor uruiuatjr wl coal sold by retailers Id this city. West Virginia gas coals were somewhat cheaper, being quoted at from $6 to $6.50 a ton at the mines to the means from $7.60 to $8 1 a ton Baltimore. As a middleman's profit Is added to these figures it can be seen thgt soft coal and not cite has become king of the fuel marf ket The entire suituation seems due tc the most remarkable fuel car scarcity ever seen by the eastern railroads. bmImity it Is irf For Senator-Sect GribWe is ii Disclosed through Error in Tabulation. ir ini Senator-elect Wallace B.

DONKEY "TRACTOR" OF THE TRENCHES AMgn toldiof tsi dortwr i WRE iEEMS ELECTED Split in California's Electoral Vote Might Result in the Election of Hughes. CONTESTS ARE VERY LIKELY Failure to Comply with Federal Statute and Use of Pasters May Figure in Results.

YORK. Not. W'IIkoq was elected president of tlx United when California swnnjr dellultoly Into tho Democratic oolomn I early today. The only states where the result remalned In question today were Minnesota. New Hampshire and New Mexloo ft with nineteen electoral votes.

Unless I there Is a decided overturn In the dlsI frirtd mimdnif Wllwin wilt rarrv Vew Mexico, Hughes leading In Minnesota. The resnlt will not be known In New Hampshire until the official count' is completed. West Virginia, which was classed as doubtful until late last I night, has gone definitely for Hughes. i Unless the rote of California Is divided, which now seems a possibility. Mr.

Wilson is assured of 269 votes in the electoral college, three more than a majority, and Mr. Hughes of 243. The -Jl president could lose three votes from I California and still have enough to elect. This loss would be offset by 1 New Hampshire, which it seems cer? Sa tain he has carried. If Mr.

Hughes carried both Minne- 2j sota and New Hampshire, he would have only 2S9, seven leas than enough 1 to elect. Jlr. Wilson could lose New i Mexico and Three votes from Callfor- I nia and still win. The result in Minnesota may be de- 2S termined by the ballots of the 2438 I guardsmen now on the Mexican borIder. which will not be counted until the state canvassing board meets next Tuesday.

Returns received early toi day in the state gave Hughes a lad of slightly over 700 votes. With ninety-nine districts missing 1 out of 638 in New Mexico Wilson was 11.410 ahead. The remote precincts not yet heard from ase sparsely settled aadjgn It was not believed the president's lead i could be wined out. The outcome In New Hampshire was In greater doubt than In an? other state. Certified returns from all butTS twenty-five precincts gave Hughes 3 lead of 131.

but unofficial figures fromKS the districts lacking were said to show 1 a Wilson plurality of 117. The tension of the most dramatic situation In the political history of the reunited States was broken when the Associated Press flashed the news that Republican State Chairman Howell, of California, had conceded the state to Wilson. Frantic appeals to the retnrns had been sent to state ers hour after hour from the headquarters of both parties in this city. Telegrams were re-enforced by ja telephone calls across the coutlnanKM I It had been apparent since Wednesday gj that California was the pivot npon ,3 which the election would swing. It was not until stage coaches bad come through from communities tucked away in the Sierras or settlements on arid eastern slopes of the moon- tains that the result was konwn.

Ordinarlly the few votes cast In mote districts are considered of little jg moment hut In this historr-enaWnwvaj presidential year they were of vital a Importance. They could not be 'by telephone or telegraph and the trails of passes leading to them were Ichoked with snow In many 'There was nothing to do bat watt we the stages and they began coming asi niituL i jm Similar difficulties were escmatwCT In collecting the returns from the of New Mexico and from the far cor- tg ners of Minnesota. In past campaigns: Vew Mexico's three electoral votes 38 have been considered as merely hiddental In swelling the majority of winner but yesterday they might have ta elected a president. Minnesota wasjj almost as important as California fa determining who had won and the ne-UR turns from that state caused nearly much Jublliation the cans as those from California In fheM rival camp. In three states, however, there were I prospects of contests over one each Instance.

The eligibility of a 'M Democratic elector In Texas has besom questioned because he Is said to be asH officeholder and the federal law peo9 hlblts a person holding office serving as an elector. One of the Democratic electors MM Washington died lust before election. I day and the party 1 pasters to the ballots, substituting other name for his. The legality of 2 procedure has been questioned by than Republicans.
