Shakespeare

RRAD GOOD POLONIUS lived in
m our time, this utterance OF
- y his might indicate that he
had been a sufferer from bad invest
ments; nevertheless. there is an
element Of truth in il that can be
applied TO our day and generation.
1t takes a ripe experience to make
a borrower and a lender harmonize.
A good lender does not wish to be
parceiled Off with a poor borrower.
This is where we come in There
are numerous things to be considered
in the application for a loan, and
we know there are two that are
most important: the first is the Sc
curity back OF the application; the
second the ability Of the borrower to
pay interest and ultimate principal
These two requirements we always
insist upon. No matter how good
the security may be. II the ability
Of the applicant TO pay interest and
ultimate principal is doubtful, we
will have nothing whatever 70 do
with It.
Our experience in negotiating
mortgage loans has made us famil-
lar with that field, and we have con-
stantiy on hand applications for gilt
edge loans paying from four per
cent. to six per cent.
We place loans that do not de-
fault, and in addition draw up all
legal papers incident thereto, under
legal supervision. and in a manner
that precludes technical possibilities.
A special point Of ours is to be abso-
iutely sure as to validity Of bor-
rower'o title.

Pres. Hodgin Will Call Meeting

Centennial.

SUED NO MATTER WHAT THE
CELEBRATION AMOUNTS To-

The members of the executive COM
| mittee of the Richmond Centennial
The members of the executive COM
mittee of the Richmond centennial
are still considerably staggered from
the effects of the knockout blow given
the project by City Attorney Gardeners
report to council Monday evening and
up to the present time no plans have
been formed by the members Of the
committee for holding the Centennial
without the assistance of the city
President Hodgin of the Centennial
Committee stated yesterday that he
would call a meeting of the committee
the first of next week, the date to be
announced later, and at that time the
question of observing the city's one
hundredth birthday would be put up
to the finance committee of which B.
B. Myrick Jr. is the chairman. 1t is
probable if this committee can devise
any way by which money can be rails
ed for the expenses of the Centennial
the project will be carried out. In
some quarters there is talk of post
poning the Centennial for one year
in hopes that in the interim enough
money can be raised by popular sub
scripuon, for the celebration of the
Centennial as was planned by the Cen
tennial committee in the first place.
Business Men not Enthusiastic.
A member of the finance committee
stated yesterday that he was not in a
position to give out any information as
to what that committee would advise,
as the committee had not yet held a
to discuss the proposition.
He thought that if public opinion was
in favor of the Centennial enough
money could be raised by popular sub
scription to hold the Centennial, but
he expressed his doubts as to whether
the project met with popular favor,
stating that the business men of the
city had never appeared to be very
over the matter.
Mr.. Gardeners report will not inter
fere with the work of compiling the
history of the city, which Is now be-
ing prepared by large staff of writ
ers and in a few days it is probable
that an attempt will be made to raise
a guarantee fund for the publication |
Of the work. 1t is not anticipated that |
there will be any difficulty in raising |
this fund.

Congressman Watson Has Had Many
Complex Points in Parliamentary
Law to Decide Recently.

indianapolis, Ind, June 20. (Spl.) J.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Asher G. Kinds, parliamentary clerk
of the House of Representatives, says
that Representative Watson, as chair
man of the committee of the whole

IL bill, has been called upon to decide
more knotty parliamentary questions
than any other presiding officer in
similar length of time within the long
range of his observation. Some of
the decisions handed down by Watson
will be quoted as precedents by future
generations of legislators. In few
instances appeals were taken from the
decisions of the chair, but the House
always sustained the presiding Off
Ger.
