It's really a pleasure
to sell this property,
it sells itself. If we
try 70 sell a man two
lots he insists upon
having four, if we try
to sell him four he
wants a half block.
And the reason for
that IS they know they

and the conservative

Come out and pick
you out one of the

money back---that IS
if some one else does
not beat us TO you with

glad to be able to report that our dis.
trict has a number Of woman suffrage
followers. Many men have come fo--

been for woman's suffrage for thirty

anxious TO explain any issue to them.
They cordially invite all to come out

\ very interesting meeting OF the
Holy Name Society was held last
Thursday 1t was well attended and
at the same time most interesting.
One new member was received. More

ing. All the members are enthusiast
tic about the society and its good
work. The second Sunday OF each
month has been chosen as the COM
munion Sunday of the organization
On that day the men will receive in a
body. 1t is expected that all the
members will remember that date and
show their loyalty to their society.
Too much praise cannot be given to

education, which at present is so dear
to him. His business ability was rec

pointed on the executive board to rep
resent the parochial schools. Though
he saw many interesting places on
his journey. Algiers still looks the
best to him.

INTEREST EQUALS PRINCIPAL.

Do you believe that nine dollars
| interest on a loan Of nine dollars for
ten months is a reasonable amount
70 charge for the use of this amount
Of money? II you think this is eX-
cessive then you are like most other
people in our community who are
daily condemning our local pawn
shops that are permitted by law to
charge ten per cent a month interest
for loans they make to people who are
hard-up for actual cash.
Only recently a certain locomotive
engineer needed some money badly;
he paWned a watch worth about forty
dollars for nine dollars, and at the
end Of the month he was not in
position to reclaim it; he went to
The pawnbroker and paid ninety cents
interest for that month, and each sub
sequent month he paid ninety cents
interest until he had paid nine dol.

his watch; in other words, for the
nine dollars he borrowed he had paid
eighteen dollars to get his watch
back. This particular case was
brought to the attention of our State
Commissioner of Labor, who stated
that his department could do nothing
in the matter as pawnbrokers were
licensed by the city of New Orleans.
II there is a business in the world
that should be completely wiped out,
either through the Constitutional
Convention or a repeal of our local
law, it should be done instanter with
regard to the pawn brokers.
Poor people require loans of money
Just the same as do the rich people, /
but the amount OF their loans is so
small that regular banking concerns
pay little attention to them; in other .

whose morals were TO be considered
and the bank was to loan upon mora
risks almost entirely, upon notes in
dorsed by other depOsitOrs in the
bank, and every indication pointed tC
success for the bank, but it did not
materialize.
Five years ago Mr.. Arthur J. Nor
ris. a lawyer of Norfolk, Virginia
worked out the plan OF industrial
loans and investments that bears his
name At the beginning OF May there
were twenty-five MoTris-plan banks
running. Up TO January /, the banks
had lent $6,17d,767 TO 54.794 persons,
who on the average borrowed 1928
each, on no other security than their
character and their earning ability.
The plan is not charity, for the
banks have made a profit of IS per
cent, and their loss from bad credits
is less than onetenth Of one per cent
II is not a swindIe, for behind it are
sound bankers and able business men.
Il aims 10 take the honest small Dor
rover out of the clutches of the pawn
broker and the loan shark" and 10
give him the same advantages that
the large borrower gets from the or
This is the way the plan works:
The prospective borrower tells his
needs, and answers questions as to
his salary or wages. his debts. house,
friends, and other matters. If, on in
vestigating, the bank approves his APP
plication, he gets two friends of known
good character to indorse his note.
On a note for 800 he gets s94, for the
bank takes out in advance the legal
interest for a year. He agrees to pay
back each week two per cent of the
loan, or 81 on each $50 that he bor-
rowed, and for every such payment
he receives a collateral certificate OF
At the end of the year he may cash
bis certificates and liquidate his debt;
DR. he may keep them, get five per
cent interest on them, and renew his
note without indorsers. In two years, |
# he follows the same process, he will |
own the interest-bearing certificates |
and will have his dept paid besides.
In every city where the plan has
been tried it is working well. Lead
ng bankers of New York have or
yanized a great corporation to aid in |
banks on the Norris plan.
Thus at last the small borrower in
he United States is getting some of
he privileges that his fellows in Ger
many. France and Italy have long
.njoyed.
The only relief for the poor man
n New Orleans is, first, do away with

Oan shark from operating. These
wo improvements will bring about
