BUILD UP A HOME INSTITUTION
By Patronizing the Mesa County Build
ing & Loan Association-There Is
Difference in Good Things.

Do not be deceived by advertisements
and statements made by agents repres-
enting foreign Building and Loan asso-
Citations. The Mesa County Building Il
Loan association does not charge as
much on given amount borrowed as
ou tside associations charge, and it also
pays larger dividend on account OF less
expensive management.
Experience has demonstrated to q
number of our best citizens (whose names
we have) that the liberal promises made
by travelling agents, who talk for the
dollars there are in it, are not carried
out. This they have found out to their
sorrow.
The Mesa County Building & Loan
association will show to any OF it's MEM
bers or to those contemplating making
loans that it has been, and is doing bet
ter for it's members than the printed
statements OF outside associations show
that they can do.
For example we herewith submit a
comparative statement between the FL
deity Savings association OF Denver,
Colo, and the Mesa County Building &
Loan association OF Grand junction,
Colo taking loan Of $1,000 on Certifi-
cate No. 2S4 in the Mesa County Build
ing & Loan as ssociation dated April 10Th
1897 which shows difference in favor OF
the Mesa County Building & Loan asso-
ment OF the Fidelity Savings association
entitled "Information for Borrowers')
Tor period OF 80 months of $65. 76 and
for period of 123 Qhe time required to
mature loan in the Fidelity association
according to their statement) OF $252.76
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

ity Assn for 32 mo S65 rs
Figuring on this basis the same loan
period Of 1913 months (their time Of ma
turing loan according to their statement)
would cost the borrower $252.76 more
than in the Mesa County Building &
Loan Assn. for the same period.
All other loans in our Association will
compare as favorably with the Fidelity
as the above named loan.
Tho total amount charged by the
Mesa County B. & L. Assn. per $1,000
per month is S15 90 while that of the
Fidelity Savings Assn. is SIS go.
The Mesa County B. & L. Assn. has
always permitted it's borrowers to pay
all or a portion of their loans at any
time.
In the face Of the above facts it is GER
tainly to the interests of all who desire
loans to secure them from. the Mesa
County B. & L. Assn, thereby saving
money for themselves and building up
their home community and home insti-
tutions by keeping interest money at
home.

This will affect thousands OF opera

the cause Of this action, as the assocl-

1t is by no means a secret that many

ferred to AZ a Body of Patriarchs.

London, Jan. 1.-THE plight OF the
British arms in South Africa is over
Swallowed for the present by the storm
which is bursting over the head Of the
home government The Manchester
speeches of Balfour, the government lead
er in the house of commons, has loosened !
such a torrent of comment from the press
and individuals OF his own party that
were parliament to reassemble today "
is doubtful if the conservatives would re-
tain power, in spite of their tremendous
majority OF the past session.
Pent up dissatisfaction with the govern
ment's lack Of energy in waging the war
is no longer concealed. When such ardent
conservative papers as the Times and the
Globe come out boldly with reproof, there
is no knowing where the agitation will
end The provincial press has already
taken up the cry.
For the moment Balfour is made the
scapegoat, but there is terrible rod in
pickle for the marquis of Lansdowne,
while Lord Salisbury and other cabinet
ministers will not escape unless won
derful change comes over the war situa-
ton.
The Associated Press learns that the
conservative leaders privately admit the
gravity Of their position, but fail to see
what can be DONE In the meantime sue
cesses in the field will abate the popular
clamor. Some of the conservative papers
go 10 far as to regret the extreme age OF
the cabinet ministers and refer to the
cabinet as body OF patriarchs. Under
these circumstances it is doubtful whether
any events transpiring before the reassem-
bling of parliament will he powerful
enough to restore confidence in the govern
ment and maintain its majority.
There is an important alternative that
Lord Lansdowne or Lord Wolseley may
be sacrificed. "A reporter OF the Associat.
ed Press learns that Lord Wolseley not
only disapproved Of Lord Roberts appoint.
ment to be chief commander Of the Brit.
ish troops in South Africa, but allowed his
disapproval to be generally known. 1t is
fact that Wolseley knew nothing of the
governments intention in this respect un
til he saw the announcement of Roberts
appointment in the newspapers. What
ever cnsues in the immediate future will
doubtless see attacks on the government
such as Salisbury has not had to with
stand during all the course of his polit
zeal career.
The borrowing powers conferred on thu
government at the last session OF parlia
mcnt are almost exhausted. About sever
and a half out Of the eight millions o.
; treasury bills authorized have already
; been issued. Large revenues coming IL
will, however, probably furnish ample
funds until parliament meets There wal
singular dearth Of news this morning
from all parts of the theater Of war.
