CONTEST CLOSES,

Next Saturday promptly at noon
the Tribune's Worlds Fair contest
will close. TIE seven candidates
whose pictures appear on the first
page have each done much personal
work, and have enlisted the aid OF
many friepds. The Tribune has not
the slightest knowledge of the rela-
tive standing Of either OF the caudi-
dates at the present time. nor does it
wish to have. Throughout the race
we have tried to be, and nave been,
absolutely impartial We wish now
togive the closing word. Don't wait
until the last minute to deposit your
credits. We should hate nightly
to refuse ballots that came at ten
minutes past twelve, or even one
minute past twelve, but that Is what
will happen II they are offered after
twelve O'Clock noon Of Saturday,
June 4, and those late ballots might
be just what your favorite would
need to throw the victory to her
Be sure your watch is right, and
BE ON TINE.

drawing at the end of two years; il
they want to withdraw they can do
so, if they wish to pay on they can
do so. If they want TO sell their con.
tracts the chances are they can get
all the money back that they have
paid in with a nice little profit.
Now, says Mr. Wolfe, there is very
little money behind the scheme.
Here Mr.. Wolfe talks about some
thing he does not understand. We
have enough money to pay for our
homes as we buy them, pay for every.
thing we get, owe no man anything.
Do not forget this, that the United
States Home company owes no man
anything.
Mr.. Wolfe says, "1here is no ball
ance wheel OF investors for profit as
in the building and loan associa-
tion, but the members in the build
Ing and loan association tell me that
the balance wheel always turns in
favor OF the board Of directors. Now
Mr. Wolfe goes on to say, 'It is full
OF weak points and the Industrious
person wanting to save for a home
had better patronize the local savings
bank or some reputable building
and loan association, and be reason,
ably sure OF the outcome. Let's see:
A man pays into savings bank $50
or sl00. What does he get IN return?
The principal with from four to FIVE
per cent interest. If he will put his
money in the United States Home
company he will get six per cent inter-
est on his home fund and get a home
besides and stop throwing away $40 a
month for rent.
Please figure this out for your.
selves.
Ii he goes into loan association

at 81. so month to get home and
then when he did get his home he
would have to pony up lively to pay

MORE ABOUT THE UNITED
STATES HOME COMPANY.

The president OF the United States
Home company has an answer to last
week 5 editorial about his company.
Tnere are one or two statements In
his article that we wish to take up
then we have done. His statement
that the building and loan associa-
tions take greater per cent of the
members money for expenses than
his own shows ignorance of condi-
tions right here in Greeley. We
have a local association, the Greeley
Building and Loan association, that
has been in, existence nine years, and
its expense does not run much above
300 year. Talk about co.opera-
tion The Greeley Building and Loan
association is the acme OF real CO.
operation, without any string to it.
The only officer who receives salary
is the secretary. He gets $40 month.
The membershlp fee Is S1.25 for
$1,000 certificate and 25 cents for
pass book. If members changes his
mind and wants to withdraw his
money, he can do so at any time by
deducting S. from what has been
paid in, receiving the balance with
SIX per cent interest per annum.
