that their son. George, serving with

. The letter was written from a Ger
man military prison but there was no
EmistakinG the fact that it was IN his
own handwriting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fitz recently received
telegram from the Canadian adju-
tants generals office in Ottawa, stat
ing that their son was reported among
the missing. The, news upset them
greatlyHaakt they feared there was but
little chanSe OF his being alive Tues
day, however the letter written from
Germany was brought to their door
Their son said that he was being
treated we'll but the letter went
through the hands Of the German mil

figure it Fout that he would have felt
obliged to make this statement any
way.

Auburn. Me-, June 3.-Arrange-
ments were completed at a meeting
Wednesday night for the establish
ment Of q rural-credit bank in Au-
burn. to be known as the Rural
Credit Bank & Trust Co. and do a
State wide business.
Plans for this have been in prog
ress for some time, but the final step
was not taken until Wednesday
nights meeting. At that time a COM
mittee of supervision to have charge
Of the organization was named. This
committee consists Of these we'll
known Androscoggin county men:
Alonzo @. Miller. Auburn. Chairman;
Judge Harry Manser. Auburn. secre-
tary; J. w. Maxwell. Webster. F. L.
Leavitt. Turner. and A. G. Pulsifer.
The duties Of this committee will
be to supervise the work Of getting
the new bank under way. They will
have a general oversight Of sub
scriptions to stock. handling Of the
funds and such incidentals until the
LiAhC GOAhSo " CcIupiCtC lAC AOi AAoIiohA
Of the banking institution by the Sc
lection Of its officials and making
ready to open for business. The
standing Of these gentlemen is sufi-
cient to guarantee that the labor will
be effectively performed.
This will be the first rural credit
bank established in Maine. 1t is to
organize under the general laws OF
Maine. The particular statute under
which this will be done is chapter Sc
of the public laws Of 1907.
While the rural-credit bank Is well
known in the West and has been in
dorsed by students Of economics, Is
new to Maine. The people Of this
State have not a thorough - under
standing of how it worked.
AS is indicated by its name the
primary object Of such bank to
provide a system of credit to enable
the farmer to do business. 1t has for
years been recognized that in this
country the farmer. who is a bust
ness man just as much as the man
who operates store, has not had
adequate banking facilities: that is
that he could not procure loans for
conducting his business with the same
ease Of the shop-keeper. This has
been acknowledged as a wrong sltua-

Rural Credit Bank, Auburn
State Wide Business of Great Importance
Agricultural Centers Is Proposed

ton. Until the rural-credit bank was
brought into the West there seemed
to be no adequate method Of chang
ing conditions.
This bank will make loans to the
farmer on long time mortgages. This
gives the farmer ready cash, at the
lowest possible rates Of interest and
provides a first class security for the
cash.
But the rural-credit bank will not
stop there. Instead Of depending upon
the interest on this mortgage for its
profit. it will issue certificates against
these mortgages. These certificates will
be in small denominations. The size is
not vet determined, but it is expected
they will be for SO each. bearing inter.
est at per cent. This will make them
an investment for the small money
man.
A man who buys one or a hundred OF
these certificates will have his SO OF
his $1,000 invested in real estate mort
cages. without the trouble of investi-
eating the property or looking after
the mortgage. This will make them a
gilt-edged investment.
Turn the Money Over
But the investment proposition
doesn't end there. This method makes
the earning capacity of money much
greater. To illustrate:
The capital stock Of this new bank,
which will be established in Auburn,
will be 100000. The investment Of ev-
cry dollar of this in mortgages by the
bank will not, as ordinarily is the
case, completely tie that money up
Instead the bank will issue 500, O0O
worth Of these per cent. mortgage
certificates The sale Of these will give
another hundred thousand to re-invest
in mortgages. without in the least i'm
pairing the value Of the stock certifi-
catesor endangering the original invest
ment of the stockholders This can be
repeated over and over again and al
ways the investment Of every mans
money is amply secured.
These certificates will run, probably
for one year; that is, man buying
one or more Of them cannot go to the
bank and cash them in at any time
they desire. They must run the full L.
months. OF course, there will be moth
ing to prevent the holder of such GER
tificates from securing a loan upon
them.
