| BUILDING associations are not max
ing as much mOEey as formerly per-
haps, (hardly anything is but there is
no safer place to store away your earn

no money so active, and none more
beneficial to the community. 1t is
sold from month to month to the high
est bidder to build home for the bor-
| rover, whose house the association
holds as security for the loan. 1t is
there all the time, and tight money
market does not decrease its value.

THE past week has given us some
real winter weather. sunday was as
bleak and chill as north wind could
well make it, snow storm setting in
on Monday morning, and lasting all
day, with the thermometer registering

the merry ringing of sleigh bells, has
sounded more like winter than any
thing we have had for two years.

the whole of last winter. A bright
sun and nilder skies has prevailed since
