Lots at $3.50 a Month.

Thirty-second, Thirty-third, Thirty
fourth streets, between Price and East
Broad. Chatham Real Estate and I'm
provement Company.
So as to get this property into the
hands of people who in the future
may become borrowers from us to
build homes for themselves, we are
offering the remarkably easy terms of
$40 cash and $3.50 a month on each
lot, with privilege to pay more at
any time, interest ceasing on pay
ments as made. The interest charged
is per cent, which means if you
pay in regular monthly installments
the total interest will be so on each
hundred dollars for each year, the con-
tract runs. Almost nothing!
1t is not always possible for the first
home a man builds to be as good as
he would like to have, but if he will
start with an humble home and pay
for it with the money he wastes in
rent, when he has paid for 1t we are
always glad to help him get a better
one, and before many years have
elapsed he can be the owner of a
more valuable piece of property than
he would ever have been able to have
lived in had he continued a renter
Therefore, select one of these lots and
make your beginning. When you
have paid in to us as much as one
or two hundred dollars, we
will lend you the money to
build, and the chances are you
can pay for a better house than you
are renting now, for as little money
as you pay rent, and be its possessor
in a reasonable time, thus providing
for your old age a home, or something
that brings you money on which to
live. Apply to F. w. Garden, Sec
rotary and treasurer. or John l.. Ar

demanded an increase from 1925 to
$500, and that a day be eight hours

1t is now believed that the stone is,
as has all along been contended, at
the northeast corner of the building,
but underground. This theory has
been advanced by several and 1t is
thought now that the stone will be
found.
Mr.. John I. stoddard, writing from
Washington, says that the stone will
certainly be found under ground. He
says that it was the old custom to
lay the stone first, and that the Ex-
change corner stone will be the last
stone to be found at the northeast
corner of the building Mr.. Stoddard
says he learned of this custom when
the ruins Of the Independent Presby-
terrain Church were pulled down.

letter that had been received by
Mr.. ]. w. Jackson, but which was in
tended for the Merchants Association,
was read. The writer called attention
70 the number of policy shops that he
said existed and asked that the asso-
citation use it's influence in having them
suppressed. The communication was
received as information.
The association decided that its MEM
bers shall close their places of bust
ness on Memorial Day at l o'clock and
that the summer closing hour of $3.50
o'clock shall go into effect June is and
be continued until Sept. Is. Saturdays,
as usual, are exceptions to this plan.
Mr.. Krouskoff introduced the matter
of using trading stamps again, but the
sentiment was decidedly against even
a discussion of the subject. which, it
was declared was futile, in view of the
fact that the merchants are under a
heavy forfeit not to use any kind of
trading stamps for some five years.

Savannah l. Buford was the only
case heard. After hearing the evil
dence the jury returned a first YER

Buford bases his application on the
ground that his wife deserted him and
has refused to return to him. In her
answer and cross-bill the respondent
admits that she left her husband, but
states that she did so because he was
almost continually drunk and refused
to furnish her with the necessaries of
life. Further, she alleges, while she
was i'll at the hospital the husband
sold her property, holding back only
