loan association plan for saving and loaning,
modified to suit the farmers situation.
The building and loan associations of the
United States have gathered more than thou
sand million dollars from the working and
working women through a model saving sys-
tenn, and have loaned that amount to work
ing men and working to purchase
homes on small monthly or weekly payments
without agents and without commissions
any charge for services. The true local build
ing and loan association is the one and only
financial institution in the world where the
depositors interests and the borrowers inter
ests are mutual. 1t is simon-pure co-opera-
ton, and the only modification necessary to
let in the farmer, or the rural dweller, is to
make the time and payments suit his con-
venience And that has been done by new
Kansas statute
Year by year the farmer is becoming more
familiar with the principles and benefits of
mutual cooperation, and believe he will
not be slow to grasp the possibilities opened
to him by this act. Money is a market
able product, as is wheat, corn, cotton and

ISOLATION is type of mutual cooperative
society that originated in the Far East
and followed the Star of Empire westward
to the New World. The Chinese had it in a
primitive form before the Christian era be-
gan 1t in Europe before our Revolu-
tionary war, and found foothold in America
far back as 1881. The city of Philadelphia

in the United States. Reliable authority says
that sixty families out of every one hundred

In Europe, Germany is the strongest building
and loan association country, with France,
England and Austria-Hungary ranking next.
And when the terrible scourging
those countries is over, building and loan
sociations will probably play prominent part
IN the rebuilding that must take place
We had accurate statistics relating to
building and loan associations in this country
until $685. when the Hon. Carol D. Wright,
then United States Commissioner of Labor,
caused 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
approximately $500 with membership
of $4,000 and assets amounting to $473,-
100000. In 1908 the figures were: Fifty
three thousand associations, 1867 900 mem
bers and $58O,OOOOOO assets. In 1913 the
figures were Six thousand four hundred and
twenty nine associations, 2,836,OOO members
and ST ,24S 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 233,OOO,OOO as
sets. Ohio ranks second with 64o associations
and $224,OOOOOO assets New Jersey ranks
third with 643 associations and $11S,OOOOOO
assets In the matter of associations
other states rank as follows: Illinois, SOL;
Indiana, 1913 New York, 241 Massachusetts,,
100 Missouri, 13o; North Carolina, 127; Ne
braska, 20; Kansas, 90. Every state in the
Union today has local building and loan
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 not modern

There are several associations in Kansas that
are over 80 years old and still growing.
Approximately 81 per cent of the gross
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 900. Put it at 81 900 for con-
venience 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 suburban
homes, and account largely for the greater
number of town homes owned by the occu-
pants over the number of farm country
homes owned by the occupants

advantage of being world-standard medium
of exchange. If the farmer could get his
produce to the consumer without the inter
ference of many middlemen, both he and
the consumer would be benefited financially
And if, when the farmer has converted his
produce into money, he could loan his surplus
to his neighbor without the interference of
middlemen, both he and his neighbor would
be benefited financially and the community
would be benefited physically and financially
The first thing to do in the organization of
a Rural Credit building and loan associa-
ton under the new law is to get at least
twenty-five persons interested. Get them to-
gether. Hold meeting and discuss the prop
osltlon and the primary steps. The first step
is to determine the par value of a share in
the association One hundred dollars is the
almost universal par value of share through
out the United States, but some associations
put it at two hundred and a few at five hun
dred. I advise 500 shares because they are
most easily handled, may be split into halves
and quarters, $50 and SIS, which popular
denominations with small savers.
Having agreed upon the value of share,
the next step is to determine the classes of
shares that the association will issue There
are only two classes of shares necessary, viz:
installment and ful-paid.
An installment share is that is paid for
in installments, stated amount every month
or every week, any amount any time.
These payments called "dues, and when
the dues paid in, plus the earnings cred
share is deemed "matured." It is then paid
off, taken up and cancelled, it may be re-
issued as ful-paid share.
The time required to mature installment
shares, when they are to be paid for in regular
installments of a definite amount, should be
determined at the outset, that subscribers
may know what amount they must pay month
1y weekly and know approximately when
they may expect maturity. The maturity of
a regular installment share cannot lawfully be
guaranteed. Maturity will depend entirely
upon the net earnings of the association; the
rate of dividend possible to distribute quar-
ter1y or semi-annually. If it is possible to
distribute four per cent semi-annually,
dollar paid monthly will mature $500 share
in approximately $50 months or ffty-fve
cents paid monthly will mature 500 share
in 12O months The greater the amount paid
the shorter the time to maturity.
Nearly every association issues shares cal
culated to mature par value at the end of
three, five, eight and ten years If par value
of the share is 500 of course SIS month will
mature it in less time than ST a month
Understand that crediting dividends to the
book-value every six months is compromising
the dividends and the longer share runs the
more dividends it accumulates. A SNOWFALL
rolled 100 feet will s3pick up more snow than
one rolled only fifty feet, and dollar turned

DODGE BROTHERS
NEW CAR IN TULSA

Dodge Brothers car has arrived TIC
hundreds of Tulsa's motorists the
above message was the signal for an
excited dash to the salesrooms of E
Westermann, local dealer for Dodge
Brothers, on Second street. Probably
never before in the history OF the au-
tomobile has the advent of a new
motor car been awaited with interest
equal to that shown by thousands OF
automobilists in all sections OF the
country.
'1n bringing out their new motor
car, Dodge Brothers wisely deter
mined not to court an advance ap-
peal" says Mr.. Westermann. ''No
whit of information was to be in
dulged until Dodge Brothers idea OF
motor car stood complete In every
detail"
Dodge Brothers new automobile is
real car in every particular. Freak
ish design has been carefully avoided
and the beautiful stream-line body is
combined with powerful 30-35 horse
power motor, to make an ideal car
for five passengers. Real leather ups
holstery and the latest type of self
lubricating springs makes the car one
Of the easiest riding machines that
has ever been marketed. Among the
unusual features on the car Is the
speedometer drive, which is connected
directly to the transmission, and Ia
therefore practically trouble proof.

STUDY PRODUCTION ECONOMY.
Jeffery Factory Manager Talks on
Plant Efficiency.

A washing machine for laundering
oily cotton waste was one OF many
money saving appliances that made a
profound impression on party of
engineering students from the Uni
versity of Kansas when they visited
the Jeffery automobile works last
week. The students were in charge
of Dean p. f. Walker, of the Me-
chanical Engineering department, and
were visiting places of technical in
terest in and around Chicago. The
tour included the Western Electric
cOmpany's plant at Hawthorne, IL
linois, the generating and sub stations
of the Commonwealth Edison Com,
pany at Chicago, the New Harris
Trust building, the waterworks and
various railroad improvements in the
same city, the big steel works at Gary,
Indiana, the automobile factory of the
Thomas b. Jeffery company at Ken
osha, Wisconsin, and the great dam
and power station at Keokuk, Iowa.
Mr.. DeCou told how waste of all
kinds has been avoided in the manu-
facture of Jeffery pleasure cars and
motor trucks. In the course of a two
years investigation all over the
country, he had picked up efficiency
ideas without which 1t would be i'm
possible to produce high grade cars
at medium price.
Thus the oily waste is now launder-
ed, much of the oil is retrieved, and
the consumption Of waste has been
cut from over 1000 pounds to less
than 100 pounds a week. The waste
is now used over again many times
before it has to be thrown away.

MED by her dog, Trouble, as her only
companion, recently arrived in Pough-

this is only a very small part of the

BEST ROAD WORK

That Is the Opinion Of New
Warden of Sing
Sing.

Tn view Of the fact that the Tulsa
county ana Tulsa city commissioners
are talking OF employing the prison
ers in the building of good roads, this
bit OF information given out by Mott
Osborne, the new warden of Sing

good roads enthusiasts,
This is the first time ! have been

Thomas Mott Osborne. the newly
appointed warden of Sing Sing, at "A
recent Columbia University meeting
of the National Committee on Prisons
and Prison Labor emphasized these
words from one OF the honor men In
the Auburn road camp. During the
summer Mr.. Osborne spent two weeks
working with the men I'm this honor
camp, and he assured the large gath
ering OF the committee that he had
never had more wholesome expert
ence.
THE Auburn camp is unique" he
stated, Tin that men were selected for
this work who had long terms 10 serve
40 as to put the scheme 10 the sever
est test out of the twenty men AT
the camp, five were life termers and
none had less than two years 10 serve.
One man had been nineteen years in
prison and had never seen an auto
mobile. Another, young Italian,
serving a long term for burglary, had
special reasons for attempting es>
cape, as he was innocent OF the crime
for which he was convicted, his proof
of innocence being that at the time
when the burglary was committed for
which he is serving time, he himself
was committing another burglary in
a house three blocks away"
These prisoners were all held to
the right" Mr., Osborne explained. "by
the realization that they were the
representatives, OF the other four hun.
dred Auburn prisoners" The work
done by these prisoners is about the
best that has ben done in the state,

work helps TO restore their moral tone

improvement OF their attitude to-

work done by the prisoners of Dan

ons points the way for outdoor work
which ought to prevail IN all our
prisons
Prof George w. KirChwey express
ed the qualification OF the committee
at Mr.. OsbOrne's acceptance Of the
wardcnship Of Sing Sing prison, az he
felt this would lead TO the fuller de
vclOpment Of the honor system, nov
only In that institution but through
out the country.
George Gordon Battle, I'm addressing
the meeting on the case TO abolish
prison slavery under the contract sys-
TEN in Rhode Island, demanded that
wages be paid the prisoner for all his
labor, both to lift him out OF slavery
and TO enable him to contribute to-
