ing, and that one hundred free-and-
clear homes stand as a result of it. ;"
The State Of Ohio is generally con-
coded to lead in progressiveness of
methods and plans in the active OPP
GRAFTON of savings and loan COM
J panies, the city of Dayton, leading
the pace with the celebrated Day
ton Plan and twenty companies or
associations. Hence the attitude of
the State toward them, and its esti-
mate of them, either in comparison
with other financial institutions, or
| by themselves is of the greatest
value to those considering the organ
izaton of one at Lakeland.
The Ohio state report on these in
situations for the year 1908, has this
to say concerning their safety, sta
bility, strength to resist panics.
etc:
Notwithstanding the fact that
during the past year many organized
financial institutions were forced to
adopt various methods of liquidation
and the closing up of their affairs,
not a building and loan association
in Ohio was compelled to close its
doors or default in it's payments.
This extraordinary test of their
strength and stability must give to
the public added confidence in their
condition and management.
THE net gain in assets of these
associations for the past year was ,
S6,625,2O7 10, and this large gain
during a disastrous financial period, |
harmful and ruinous to so many.
must be accepted as evidence that |
the confidence in membership and |
of associations which
advocate and encourage home build
ing and home owning, and whose
are based on a mutually
OF interest, are permanent in char
acter, and appeal to the confidence
Of all classes in fair or foul financial
weather. .
Later Ohio State reports show
.hese associations are forging ahead
tremendously both in their financial
strength and in public favor, strong
y corroborating what has been said
~ secretaries and their booklets,
md what has been claimed as a GER
ainty for the company to be formed
lere. incidentally it is reassuring
o see that Ohio, though once af1ict-
"a with bad building associations
here characterized by abuses of
and Questionable prac-
ices INDUCED in by them" that "by
ctlon OF law and with the super
lsory powers of this bureau, the So :
allied national associations are no
onger an element of any kind with
n the State, beyond a disagreeable
lemory, and the abuses which had
rept in during their exploitation

have been, for the most part, who'll

have been, for the most part, wholly
eliminated
There are now (191O) six hun
dred and thirty-two with combined
assets of $170,750,527.91. They oc-
cupy a high place in the financial
situation in the State and must be
reckoned with when finance is con
sidered.
During the year 1912 six hun
bred ana forty-nine associations filed
reports with this bureau in the man
ner required by law. The gross as
sets at the end Ct the year 1912
amounted to S2O5,445, 994.59, a gain
in assets over the year 1911 of $751;
IOl l,SIO.12 and a gain in numbers
in two years of H. and in assets of
S34, 693, 1855. IS. The confidence of
the public in the methods and man
agement of the building and loan as
sociations of this State is emphati-
cally evidenced by these figures
This shows that deceiving and de-
frauding associations have operated
in Ohio as here, but that they have
been wholly eliminated from that
State, the same that Mr.. Willard
urges may and should be done here,
if not yet by law, "by means of
local, cooperative savings-loan COM
pany, handled by ourselves and 9TH
ers whom you know, and confined to
Polk county"
We think he has conclusively
proved that he is seeking to estab-
fish here just such concerns as are
carrying on such a great work III
indiana and Ohio, and which has the |
unqualified commentator of the
state governments, and whose meth |
DDS and doings we have so fully |
shown in the Evening Telegram. It
must also clearly appear from the /
foregoing that it is no scheme for
gain, but for the upbuilding |
and betterment of the town, and it's
people and business enterprises of
every nature, and is eminently en-
Tilted to the moral and financial CO.
operation of all Lakeland people who
owe their city, and who can in large
'r small measure render this COON
'ratlon. Hence we trust they will
make haste to subscribe for the re-
naming required $4,000 of pair ND
LOCK, and more so that Mr.. Will
ara may give the balance of his
Inc before leaving to the taking of !,
unning stock subscriptions. which
lie says is what will do more than
nythlng else when it gets into op-
ration to make the institution pros
erous and useful. 1t would be a
astlng mistake, shame and disgrace
or the Town of Better THINGS" to
o otherwise.

TEEPLES FAMILY INVESTIGATED

The charge laid against Jacob
Teeples recently of alleged cruelty
to his sixteen-year old daughter was
heard in the probate court Wednes-
day, but was not completed. The
evidence indicated that Mr.. Teeple
and his wife, who is step-mother to
the girl have not gotten along we'll
with the girl and both of them have
been unkind to her, the father going
so far as to swear at her and admin
lister kicks and cuffs.
Some of the relatives and others
have offered to give the girl home,
and she declared she would rather
go anywhere than to go back to her
father and step-mother. 1t is sad
case, and whether the girls story Is
true or not, there is no doubt that
the father was lacking in love and
sympathy and the parental responsi-
bility which he ought to feel.

SOME CITY IMPROVEMENTS

The Short Line had seven cars of
soil on the siding Thursday morning
for use on the railway park, which
is being put in condition.
The city has had P. B. Van Blari,
con employed to drag all the streets
while the ground was moist and ir
fine condition to be smoothed ant
packed. The streets are in better
condition now than they have evel
been in the history of the town.
Chief of Police A. H. Simmons has
had a squad of prisoners cleaning ur
the litter in streets and alleys, and
Tuesday evening the council author
lied him to have it hauled away from
the business streets at public expense.
An investigation of back yards and
the rear of business houses shows a
great amount of rubbish on private
grounds that ought to be removed.
The city fathers are planning to
sprinkle large area of streets that
have been smoothed and packed, and
If property owners do their part at
putting things in order we can boast
of and enjoy "spotless town"
There are hundreds of piles OF
ashes along the streets and in back
yards, that ought to be removed or
buried. The wind will carry it into
peoples houses and the damage to
rugs, carpets and curtains will be
considerable. Attention to this one
item would remove the dust trouble
more than anything else that could
be done under present conditions.
Sprinkling the whole street may keep
down that kind of dust at great ex-
pense, but removing the piles of
ashes at slight cost removes the main
supply that Is always ready to go
up in the air and travel. Last year
the most of the ash piles were left to
wear out In the wind, and some of
it buried itself in peoples carpets
and clothing.
