The Value to the Community.
 OF A Building and Lean Association

Believing it would be of interest to the community to know the pub lie end a Building and Loan Asso. citation is intended to subserve, the following is submitted:
 The aims of such an Association may be stated to be as follows:
 1. To aid persons of small means in securing homes.
 2. To earn a profitable return for persons able to lay aside something each month.
 8. To induce those of comforts ble means to invest for the benefit of those who are not so we'll off.
 4. To extend the principle of co. operation so as to yield, with means at command, the greatest comfort to the greatest number.
 5. Incidentally, to aid in the work of giving stability to the com muuity where the Association trans acts business by fostering the habit of saving among those who might otherwise waste their means.
 There are certain worthy aims. 
 An Association of this character is purely mutual. To man seek ing home, the competitor of the As

 For investors this association issues

 ments from month to month. The pro-
 fits on this stock are limited to twelve
 per cent per annum. When the amount standing to the credit of the stock equals $100 the stock is deemed to have ma tured and the holder may withdraw the same and receive $1O0 per share there for. Paid up stock shall be paid in a single payment of $50 per share and shall receive from ti.e earnings of the associa- ton semi-annual cash dividend of 8 per cent per annum, payable on Jan. 1st and July 1st of each year. The dividend so paid is deducted from tlIe profit earn ed. The balance earned is placed to the credit of the stock. When the amount paid ($5O) and the profits ere dited ther, on equal $100. the holder may withdraw the same and receive $lOO per share therefor
 This stock IS the most desirable instru- ment today before the public. It gives the investor an absolute guarantee for his capital invested and the highest rate of interest consistent with safe and con- servative financiering
 The affairs of this association are hon. estly administered and the "widow's mite" IS as cheerfully received and as guarded as the milIionaire's dollar. The American National bank of Denver. Col, commends it's manage HOhS dAO oOCuIlt9 tO IiO puDLlC

CoNCHo, after experiencing much depression. through dearth of wa ter for irrigable purposes, is fast coming to the front, and will before many years, rank as one of the i'm portant towns in Apache county. The new reservoir constructed last spring is decided success, the on- ly fault was the delay encountered in securing the site. which retarded the settlers from opening new land, but next year this will not be ex- perienced, as consequence many broad acres will be redeemed and sowed to grain, etc., this in conjunc. tion with the spirit of enterprise inherent in her thrifty inhabitants will make Concho hum.

 carry through to maturity and thus
 save the home, fact that greatly
 interests every family, In few
 words, an Association of this char
 acter is missionary in the highest
 sense of the term.
 If man, who might otherwise
 be thriftless, can.be induced to save
 his money, taxable value, in the
 shape of home, is very natural
 result.~ He becomes a definite fac
 tor of moment in the community,
 and the founder of a family, which,
 of course, insures the increase of
 his ability as producer of values.
 But the state gains in another way,
 to-wit: in the immunity it enjoys
 from the charge of this mans fam
 fly as paupers, to say nothing of the saving to It in the direction of crim
 inal expenses. The case has still another bearing, and 1t was brought to the writer with great force, some time ago, by member ot a firm making locomotive engines. He said that the Baldwin Locomotive Works, of Philadelphia, had this advantage over other firms in their contracts they except only fire, whereas, other builders had tn ex- cept fires and strikes. Why did they omit strikes? Simply because they dealt with men, in their work ing force, who were the owners of homes, and the average man, who holds bit of Gods earth, becomes at once a very conservative citizen. It is estimated, indeed, that in Phi! adelphia, Building Associations have aided in the erection of 152,000 homes. Cincinnati and St. Louis furnish similar evidence of the val JIG of these Associations as home builders.
 The building and lean interest continues to receive special encou:- agement at the hands of the law mrking power, both in Great Bri- tain and on the Continent. The "Birbeck," of London. is Building | Association. and is now forty-two years old. It is the fourth institu ton in financial strength in the United Kingdom. The writer has the printed matter issued in con- nection with the forty first annual Its books showed 63,-I 145 active accounts, and it had paid out to it's members to that date, the sum of 9125, ,444,4 ,436 ster ling (equal to S627, ,222,19O). This great building society was one of the substantial fruits, in the diree- ton of wise and proper aid to the of the agitation in between the years 1848 and 1854.
 In an Association of this charac- CT, as observed before, all the mem ,ers stand on exactly the same foot ng.

He also engages to keep the property insured, and to pay the taxes thereon as they ac- crue. In such transaction there can, of course, be no room for the principal of usury to operate. A member may pay off the advance at any time he pleases. If his stock is in good standing (that is, the dues paid to date,) and he desires to keep it in force, he simply pays pack the amount he borrowed if on the contrary, he desires to can eel his stock, he pays back the diff ference between the amount ad- vanced him and the withdrawal val ue of his stock.
 There is plenty of room in this country for every well-managed Local" and National" Associa- ton of this character, and each years experience IS placing them more and more firmly on the foun- dation rock of safety. The "Local" Is confined, in it's operations, to the town in which it is established, and 1t may be, in practice, unable to find members enough to borrow it's receipts. The National" on the contrary, isnot confined in it's range, and its members may be resident in several States. When such a range, its receipts may be expected to find borrowing members enough to employ them. Some points de- sire loans, others do not, and thus one helps the other, the principle not in the least differing from that observed in the "Local."
 The result of the aim of these As- sociations, both Local" and "Na- tionai," is the making of men bet ter citizens, who, without this aid, might become burden to the com munity.
 We will gladly furnish full infor- nation as to plan and working of the Association on application, or will send same by mail to any ad- dress.

The onward movemento of building and loan associations IS marked one and justly too, for of all saving institutions none has stronger peculiar characteris- tics more distinctive functions. The simplicity of building and loan associ- ation is great advantage to the work ing classes, who have little time and few facilities for much investigation as to the merits and soundness of deposi- tories of their savings.
 A building and loan association has but one security--the best in the world real estate. This fact simplifies it's management, for it's assets and their values are tangible. They are blessing to the community and so acknowledged to be, and after careful investigation it may be stated that there is none more solid, more ably conducted than is the "Columbia," whose home office is loca- ted at Denver, Col. It is we'll for our readers to be shown practical illustra- tion of what few dollars per month paid to the Columbia Building and Loan Association can produce in compara- lively short time and we take it on a basis of only 5000 per month, or for twenty shares of $l00 each, soc per month for each share.

This association will make installment loans to shareholders to the amonnt of $100 on each share of 50 shares held by them upon being secured by first mortgage on real estate, not exceeding 50 per cent of the actual cash value of such real estate.
