med up the matter by saying
tt at in any matter that comes up
for decision the only thing to
consider is, Is it fair to every
stockholdor? Does any one get
the slightest advantage? If it is
fir to all, that's BUILDING and
loan; if it is not fair to ali, it is
not building and loan.
AS stated at the outset, it is
greatly to be regretted that every
man and woman in Lumberton
could not have heard Mr.. Witt

interested in the subject he dis
cussed, for building and loan
means home in many instances
