Semi Annual Distribution
Dividends Paid by jefferson Count,
Building and Loan Association.

1t is nothing new that the jefferson
County Building and Loan association
is sending out its semi-annual dividend
a week before it is due on July T. This
association long since established that
custom and finds it a good and whole
some one.
On yesterday the seni-annua1 checks
went into the mails differing from some
30 odd other such series of checks only
in the amount. The interest paid on
stock withdrawn from time to time be-
tween the interest periods makes a
goodly sum, besides the 81, 200 which went
out yesterday all at one time. That
is tidy sum to be distributed among the
people who own one class of the stock
good feature about it is that is growe
larger every six months.
The management congratulates the
stockholders on two things especially,
namely, that this money has all been
earned and collected since January l.
1918, and that the ever increasing size of
the dividends evidences the steady
growth of public confidence
The only feature of the present situa-
tion that is of particular interest is
the strong and growing demand among
the people for loans on the monthly plan.
The demand was weak all last year
and through the winter MONTHS but with
the opening of spring the people began
to build and the demand from all the
suburbs grows every month more in
sistent. Any stock taken out now will
represent money put to prompt and VAL
liable use in good ans.-Advertisement

of the court and made notes of what
occurred there, and it is intimated
that some action along this line is
to be taken.

his fighting spirit has been aroused,
and he is going to carry the matter
right to the very doors of congress to
learn of the why's and wherefores of
the attack made upon him.
