Year by year the farmer is becoming more

still is: How can the advantage of long-tim

A variety of plans have been suggested,
but practically all of them are based on gov

regards Government as a protector rather than
as provider, except it be at election time.
That spirit suggests to the American to find

primitive form before the Christian era be-
gan 1t was in Europe before our Revolu-
tionary war, and found foothold in America
as far back as 1881. The city of Philadelphia
has the distinction of being its "home town.
in the United States. Reliable authority says
that sixty families out of every one hundred
in Philadelphia own the houses they live in.
In Europe, Germany is the strongest building
and loan association country, with France,
England and Austria Hungary ranking next.
And when the terrible war now scourging
those countries is over, building and loan as
socations will probably play prominent part
in the rebuilding that must take place.
We had no accurate statistics relating to
building and loan associations in this country
until 1898, when the Hon. Carol D. Wright,
then United States Commissioner OF Labor,
caused a careful canvass to be made through
out the country and published the results IN
his Ninth Annual Report. At that date the
number of associations in the United States
was approximately $500 with membership
of l,3500O0 and assets amounting to $4/5,-
OOOOO0 In 1908 the figures were Fifty
three thousand associations, 1867, OOO mem
bers and $580O00OOO assets. In 1918 the
figures WCIC. lllOuSdllO 4Oul IuAANi ~ oAAN
Twenty-Five associations, 2,8360OO members
and ST ,248 100000 assets Reliable authority
estimates an increase of ten per cent in assets
at the close of 1914 over 1913.
The 1913 statistics show the old Keystone
state, PENNSYLVANIA, at the head of the list
with 1,71O associations and 1928, 100000 as
sets. Ohio ranks second with 649 associations
and S224OOOOOO assets New Jersey ranks
third with 643 associations and $ll8,OOOOOO
assets. In the matter of associations some
other states rank as follows: Illinois, SOL;
Indiana, 1928; New York, 241 Massachusetts,,
1869, Missouri, 13o; North Carolina 127; Ne
braska 70; Kansas, 90. Every state in the
Union today has local building and loan as
sociations and they have appeared in several
South American countries within the past ten
years.
We give the foregoing data to show that
building and loan associations are not modern
institutions in the sense that they are new
There are several associations in Kansas that
are over 30 years old and still growing.
Approximately 81 per cent of the gross as
sets of the associations in the United States
is loans on real estate, made for the express
purpose of purchasing or building homes. An
ANALYSIS of state reports shows that the aver
age real estate building and-loan loan is lit
tie less than ST ,OOO Put it at 81 900 for con-
yenience and we have over one million homes
in the process of purchase by monthly and
weekly payments in the United States today
These are practically all town or suburban
homes, and account largely for the. greater
number of town homes owned by the occu-
pants over the number of farm or country
homes owned by the occupants

Care of the Complexion
And Other Beauty Secret!

envy of every woman-and any wom-

desire if she will only discard pow
ders and paints and give her COM
pIexon a little care. The most beau
tiful peach-liSe complexion L ever
saw was that of a Southern lady, and
she told me this is the way she got
it and kept it: every night before
retiring. she washed her face. neck
and arms with plenty of soap and
warm water, then used cold water and
then she massaged into the skin a
crea~' lotion she made herself by dis
solving one ounce of powdered zintone
in pint of hot water, adding table

honestly believed that this treatment
made her sleep well and she always

Nothing mars a good complexion
like hideous blackheads, and if wom-
en- only knew how easy it was to get
faces with these blemishes on them
If you are one of the unfortunates,
just get about two ounces of powdered
neroxin from your druggist, sprinkle
a little on hot, wet sponge. rub brisk
ly over the blackheads and wash off
You will find that every one has been
dissolved away entirely
A nice complexion and dull, lifeless,
thin, scraggly hair do not hitch, so if
you have any of these hair troubles
and you don't want them to detract
from your complexion, you would do
well to give your head some attention.
