purpose Of a building and loan
association is to build homes, to en-
able people to build who could not build
otherwise, and to furnish a good op-
portunity for those who desire to accu-
mulate from small savings. Mr.. Gas
ton talked the matter over fairly,
squarely and impartially, and in a
thorough going, business like manner.
He showed now by means Of monthly
payments of a dollar a share the re-
sources of organizations of this. kind
could be made to grow from month to
month; how the man who does not have
occasion to borrow has a constantly in
creasing fund growing to his credit;
how the man who is never able to ac-
cumulate lump sum sufficient to be-
come a real estate owner, Is enabled
to borrow and pay back in small pay
ments and get a home that he could
not have otherwise gotten. He ana
lyzed the proposition Of the stockholder
borrowing from building and loan and
paying back in installments, and show
ed how it is possible for such a stock
holder to get the full benefit Of the
nominal rate of interest on debts paid
by small installments. Messrs. 0. E.
Wilkins, J. C. Wilborn and others, have
taken up the matter Of organizing a
building and loan with $50 shares and
will push the proposition for all it is
worth.

ground hog is due to come out OF his

the day so cloudy that he cannot see

able to see his shadow he will at once

"Baek to the Soil."-"Back to the
SOIL" This is the solution Of the prob
lens of the higher cost Of living, ac-
cording to James ]. Hill, philosopher
and master railroad builder. "The
problem Is not local; 1t is information
al said Mr.. Hill, who was back In
New York last Saturday after his visit
to Washington and the White House
early In the week
obviously, the world has reached
an economic crisis. We are not pro-
'ducing foodstuffs enough. We must
enlarge the farming area of the earth:
we must apply scientific principles; we
must adapt ourselves to conditions.
"Agriculturally speaking, the world
Is not over-populated. The problem
Is to relieve the congestion in the cities
and scatter the unproductive popula-
ton to the farms. Then when we get
them there we must teach them new
methods Of farming. Our present
methods are so loose and slipshod that
we do not get half the good out Of our
tillable land.
There isn't quick relief to the pres
ent crisis. The necessaries Of life will
not be cheapened to the consumer un-
til we add a million or so persons to
our agricultural population. Until the
movement from the city back to the
country starts, President Taft and
congress can do little to lower the cost
Of living"

NEW SUBSCRIBER PREMIUM.

Although the five dollars that was
offered for the largest number Of new
subscribers returned and paid for dur
ing tine week ending January %, liter
ally went begging, that was not the
case with the five dollars offered for
the largest number of new names re-
turned and paid for last week.
Among the clubmakers who returned
and paid for new names last week,
were Miss Clara Alexander, No. 4,
Yorkville; Mrs. John Brandon. Glover;

Capt. Samuel E. White, Lancaster.
The five dollar premium goes to Mr..
A. W. Mcfarland Of No. 8, Yorkville,
who returned and paid for five new
names.
To keep up interest in the matter,
we have decided to offer one more pre-
MUM for new subscribers, on the same
terms as heretofore, except this time we
will make the premium ten dollars
and extend the competition period to
the evening Of February %, at 6 o'clock.
The proposition is simply this. To

scribers during the month Of February,
we will give our check for ten dollars,
and all names returned in the contest,
whether they participate in this ten
