Concerning Your Home,

From the number of inquiries it ap'
pears that the object of the Billings
Building and Loan Association has moi
been fully understood.
Slime people have thought that the
association built houses and then sold
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result,
the method must be viewed from an.
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable
OF ganization-it is a business con
Germ, intended to make money in three
ways: First, by providing a safe in
vestment for local capital; second,
by saving money for local home
builders; third, by retaining both the
earnings and savings in Ballings.
It is composed OF local bankers
professional and business men, who
will profit indirectly by the home use
OF the money used.
It's objects are to assist the man
| with-a-family, and the man-who-is'
| going-to-get a family to get a home
Tor that family. Assist mind you
not ''give" him a home.
That assistance is given only tc
those who show themselves worthy.
It is a plain business proposition
whose new methods make it philan
thropic in effect.

Well. Easter came at last. The

the man glanced from his seat at the
organ toward the Child, and always
the look brought encouragement with
it. At last came the offertory.
Softly and low the organ gave out
the prelude. Then a voice broke on
the hush of the vast church-a child's
voice, sweet and distinct:
20 Death! where is thy sting?
o Grave! where is thy victory?'
Breathlessly the congregation listen

uplifted head a deathlike paleness on

A silence followed. With the solemn

Starch is free from all injurious chem

a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose Of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has

Old English Customs.

The strangest of ancient English
customs were those of lifting or heav-
ing which the women did one day,
Easter Monday and then men on the
next. And strangely enough it was
supposed to represent the resurrec-
ton. In the heaving a chair was
used, sometimes elaborately decorat-
ed, and the victim was raised above
the heads of those lifting. In the lift
ing the man or woman was seized by
the legs and arms and lifted up YER
tically. So far were these tit for tat
performances carried that it is said
that men used to whip their wives on
Easter Sunday and the wives returned
the compliment on Monday.

Recently it has been hard to sift the

GIRL WATERS.

The Wilmington Star says that sew
eral North Carolina hotels have invest
ed In girl walters, and quotes as follows
from the Charlotte Chronicle:
'The North Carolina hotels have
been falling into line with the move
ment to displace colored walters with
white help. The hotels that have
made the change have found it salts
factory in every way. On this line, the
Hotel World says:
"'Time was when the colored man
was the only safe, sure waiter for
the commercial hotel and the imported
waiter was the choice for the fashiona-
bic place. Now Mattresses are displac-
ing the colored walters in many places
where formerly the service of the form
er would have been deemed totally i'm.
practicable. You ask any hotel propri-
etor or manager why 1t is that he en-
ploys girls, and you are told that the
guests prefer their service, and here
(wages also considered) is the sum total
OF the argument why Mattresses are sc
much employed
