Wichita Falls, Texas, March Al
Whiskers have been falling here all |
day, for the BARRIERS have returned |
to work, but the street cars are
tucked away in the barns while the
car men have again gone out on
strike. The city has been operating
the street car system Tor the past
thirty days, pending action by the
company toward recognizing the
Amalgamated Union OF Street and
Electric Railway Employees. As the
company still refuses to recognize
the union the public is walking.
Now the stock-buying public is
preparing ior a strike that will be
body blow to some Of the oil
promoters OF this neck OF the woods
unless their union is recognized. \
mass meeting OF stockholders in oil
companies and members q joint

tons arc using the earnings OF the
companies without authority; that
the stockholders are unable TO OBJ
tain information to which they are
entitled concerning the affairs OF the
companies, and that the conduct Oh
the affairs OF many OF the companies
has been such as to depreclate the
value OF the stocks. Itis planned TO

will be called, The call Tor the
meeting includes call to all stock
holders in companies operating IN

Routine Proceedings

Mayor 10 +. Williams announced
that there were two vacancies il
the library board and the members
Of the board having conferred with
him, he had named Mrs. Writ
Franklin and Mrs. J.. L. Cox. The
nominations were unanimously CON
hrmed. The mayor announced that
one was for the long and one for
the short term and the appointecs
would have to cast lots to determine
for what time each should serve.
The mayor said it would be neces-
sary to repair the roof of the Con-
yention Hall. A man had exam
ined it and found it could be re-
paired for about $40, but the plas-
tcring had fallen off badly and this

BIG MILITARY DISPLAY

While in Bismarck last week, the
Record man had chance TO enjoy
the army display that occupied the
johnson store windows for two days
in the interests Of army recruiting.
This display is being placsd in the
display windows of the leading dry
goods store Of each Of the large North
Dakota towns.
The display consisted of various
kinds of machine guns, range finders,
rifles, bayonets, trench knives, Very
pistols, infantry equipment, ETC., and
is deeply interesting to those who
have not had touch Of military life.
To those who tussled with these vari-
ous instruments Of torture, the dis
play proved to be an interesting re-
minder of other days.

ANENI STATE LOANS.
Townley Plan Of Cutting Out Middle
Man Unique, TO Say the Least.
Figure IL Out

Did any of you prospective appli-
cants for state real-estate loans
through the new Bank of North Da-
kota ever stop and try to figure up
just how much of a commission you
will be expected to pay to some local
bank for acting as your agent?
Well. take pencil and paper and
go to it. First Of all, when you want
one of those loans from the state and
have the real estate that can be so
cleared Of Indebtedness that the state
will be enabled to take first mort
gage on the land, you must fiji out a
blank prepared by the Bank of North
Dakota which provides for the ap-
pointment of some local bank as your
agent.
This local bank that you appoint
negotiates the loan for You, prepares
necessary papers, and so pcrfects
your title that the state can be assur-
| ed of its first mortgage without any
strings attached.
When the local bank has done this
work for you, it then becomes neces-
sary that you pay your local bank for
acting as your agent, $500 in cash
and u fourth of a per cent on the
principal of the loan until maturity.
Now, how does that work out? 1t
takes thirty years to complete the re-
payment of the loan by paying the
state six per cent annually and one
per cent of the original loan, each an
nual payment amounting to set fig
ure of $40. And, in paying the local
bank for acting as your agent you
will pay fourth of per cent on the
principal until the loan is liquidated.
Hence, on that part of the loan that
lis not paid until the thirtieth year,
you will have paid the local bank
thirty times fourth of one per cent.
In other words, on that part of the
kloan repaid the first year, you pay
fourth of q per cent commission, and
on the rest you pay as. many times
the fourth Of per cent as it takes
years to pay on the original.
That's the Townley way Of cutting
out the middle man. &

To Make Damaging Adnission
/. Many Emmons county people heard
the Nonpartisan speaker, Meitzen,
make promises in his political speech
es that have since election proved to
be bald-faced lies.
Meitzen claimed that the printing
commission did not intend TO hog all
the legal printing in all the counties,
but would award the work to news
papers Of the same political complex
ion as the majority vote in each coun-
ty proved to be. Meitzen and Brin-
tom and others lied TO the voters on
this matter. Or, . John Hagan and
Sam Aandahi changed front after
election. They stole every appoint
ment in fifty counties Of the state,
and failed to appoint any paper in the
three counties where they did not
have league papers that could legally
qualify.
Now, the league organs admit the
lie in the matter OF the administra-
tion bill.
Before election. the leagne organs
and speakers wildly claimed that
Miss Nelson was being given more
power, instead Of having her power
taken from her. The Opposition told
the people that the new law s'sallowed
a board to rob her Of much Of her
power"
Who told the truth!
II any voter will take the trouble
to find out what the new board has
already done, they will be convinced.
And even that amount Of trouble isn't
necessary.

the. estate of the late Mrs. Phoebe
Griffith, who died a year ago and
left trust fund Of s1,500 for a
parrot named ETHEL"
The "cracker fund.- as Judge DOH
erty called it, had caused the execu-
tors of the estate considerable worry.
The bird is very healthy, and Judge
Doherty found on consulting the
highest authorities on parrots that
these creatures generally are long
lived. But the $1,000 will maintain
Ethel in luxury for some little time
to come.
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1919-07-25

The Herald and News will be
mighty glad to see that portion OF
Lexington county that has been sur
veyed and about which Mr.. W. M
Wilson wrote in the last issue come
into Newberry. 1t is fine section
of country and has fine citizenship
and will be a good addition to New
berry.
Z Mr.. Wilson says the vote will be
unanimous and that is good and we
will welcome them most heartily.
We hope the election will be or
dered soon so that we may get these
good people with US this year.
When this section gets in then
Chapin will come and it will be bet
ter and more convenient for all of
them to get to the court house, be-
cause the trains run direct to New
berry and they can come on the
train and back the same day.
