For one of the attractions OF the
Music Festival to be given May and
Z, production of the grand opera
Faust is being planned the cast to

Mrs Herbst will sing the role Of

The fact that Prof Herbst was
connected with opera orchestras for
10 years, and knows almost every
opera that has been given in Europe
during that time, besides his being
recognized as one of the best must
clans and ablest conductors wher-
ever he has been, speaks we'll for the
ultimate success of the undertaking.
The chorus will consist OF the
Women's Choral Club, increased by
similar number of young men, to
make chorus Of from 40 to SO
voices.

LOCAL ASSOCIATION
DOES GOOD WORK
Officers for Coming Year Elected at
Annual Meeting Of Pullman
Savings and Loan
Association

The annual meeting of the Pull
man Savings and Loan association
was held last Saturday at the offices
of d. c. Dow. The board OF trustees
elected for the coming year consists
of J. \. Emerson, d. f. Staley,
George II. Watt, John Gerding, Will
lam Swain, W. c. Kruegel and A.
A. Cleveland. The trustees at once
organized for the years work by
electing J. n. Emerson president OF
the organization for another year,
with ID. +. StaIey vice president and
NJ, K. Snyder secretary. John Gerd-
ing was elected treasurer, and the
security committee, which appraises
property on which loans are asked,
is composed of Staley Kruegel and
Swain.
The report of the treasurer, cover
ing the siX-months period ending De-
cember 81, showed an undivided
profit of $5288.S9 with resources
totaling $145,182.55. During the six
months period real estate loans to
the amount Of $272O4.50 were
granted. over $4,000 in a. stock

21721a shares Of that stock still run
ming. The total amount now out

amount of nearly $4,000 have been
made

ton, which is a purely local concern,
has made possible, through its loans,
the construction or purchase Of
nearly $50 houses, and in many Of
these cases the client, usually sal
aried man, could not have provided
himself with a home had it not been
for the assistance OF the association.
The savings department also has
been the means of placing many sal
aired men on their feet, and several
of Pullman's present successful bust
ness men owe their start in business
to their savings through the associa-
ton, to which they paid monthly s.,
$40 or $15, and receive $500. $1,000
or $500 at the maturity of their
stock.
