not less than 100 cubic feet OF the
liquid found it's way into the direc-
tors rooms of the new Citizens Ger
man National Bank building last night.
At the invitation of John NJ. Stinson.
attorney for the Home Building Loan
and Savings association, the official
body and few of its ex-members of
the latter organization gathered to en-
joy the long promised hospitality of
their host, The moving into the new
home was taken by Mr.. Stinson as the
occasion for his reception to his friends
and after the regular Wednesday night
work the guests repaired to the diree-
tors room for an inviting luncheon that
awaited them there.
The nature of the gathering was a
surprise to nearly all, the call having
stated merely that special meeting
had been called.
In New Quarters Now.
Inasmuch as the Home Building, Loan
and Savings association has an ar
rangement by which IL transacts its
business in the Citizens German Ma
tonal bank, it's first business night in
the new quarters was a matter of NUT
ual Contamination, first among the
stockholders earlier in the evening and
later among the directors at their lit
tie spread.

only the mutual good feeling and the
sincerity of purpose that the officials
have toward each other and their work
of carrying on the business of the Home
Building, Loan and Savings association
could have brought about such good
feeling as prevailed at the informal ses-
sion last night. 1t was said at the
meeting that this spirit was largely
responsible for the splendid success of
the organization which is comparatively
young, but which is already a million
dollar corporation.
Have Key to Success.
In their informal talks last night the
speakers gloried in the unqualified sue
cess of the institution. and some of the
statements regarding the results that
have been attained were startling.
From the figures and arguments that
were presented last night 1t was made
apparent that a few shares, with small
weekly payments, are the very best in
vestment that any young man or any
one in this region could make.
