Work is very pleasant and no previous

BUILDING AND LOAN
ASSOCIATION SHOWS
SPLENDID GROWTH

The annual meeting of the stock
holders Of the Dickinson Building d
Loan Association was held at the COM
mercial club rooms on Monday even
ing last. The secretary's report
proved an interesting n and demon
strated that this organization, which
had it's start only last spring, is a
healthy youngster and is already cut
ting quite q figure in city financial
circles. Over 1,400 shares, having a
par value of $100 each, are now in
force. These are owned by about 100
stockholders.
Thirteen loans aggregating $1O,75O
have been granted to members since
organization. There is now a monthly
income of about SITS, including prin-
cipal and interest payments.
The dividend declaration for the
past year was necessarily smaller than
it will be next and subsequent years
owing to the expense incident to the
organization. The earnings have
proven highly satisfactory, however,
and the next increase will undoubted-
ly show a marked increase. A stock
holder holding ten shares will pay IN
as monthly principal payments in the
course of nine or ten years just 9ooU'
and at the enc Of that time Withdraw
1000, payment for his shares in full
at maturity.
The Building and Loan method Of
saving is one of the best ever devised.
Wage earners Of limited means are
here afforded an opportunity Of in,
vesting a few dollars each month and
upon maturity Of the shares realize
a splendid return upon their invest
ment. All the money Of the associa-
ton is invested in first mortgages on
city property, and in no case is a loan
made for more than half Of the value
of the property covered. The associa-
ton on the other hand offers a splen-
did opportunity for the man or woman
of limited e to become the owner
of a home, paying back the loan and
interest to the association at the rate
Of $13 per month for each thousand
loaned.
The same board of directors that
served since the organization Of the
association were reelected, as fol-
lows: J. v. lessen, Fred Maser, Geo.
A. Senour, Welton Mcdonald, M. L.

Reason Subscriptions Are Cut.

In explanation of the reasons for not
accepting the full amount of subscrip-
tions. Secretary McAdoo declared the
government as matter of policy must
abide by announcement of plans for
the second liberty loan, made October
/, as follows:
THE Secretary of the Treasury in
vites subscriptions. at par and accrued
interest, from the people OF the United
States. for $4,000 100000 of United
states Of America 10-25-year 4 per cent
convertible gold bonds. of an issue au-
thorized by act of Congress approved
September "a. 1917: the right being re-
served to allot additional bonds up to
one-half the amount of any oversub-
scription."
The Secretary added:
| "The government must never alter
the basis upon which it offers an issue
of bonds after subscriptions are closed.
| Having announced that only one-half
| of the oversubscription would be ac-
cepted, the government must. of course
faithfully observe that basis. Whenever
loans are offered to the public, the
banks and the public adjust themselves
both consciously and unconsciously to
the basis OF the offering, and it would
be extremely unwise to alter that basis
a fter the subscriptions have been re-
| ceived."
